You know the summer’s near its end when the Fall rumors are about the prime time lineup, too -

We hear MTV’s sending out pitches to major fashion companies about their newest show, The Stylist.

Apparently, it follows eight wannabe stylists in a “challenge type show” - and the winner gets a contract with Margaret Maldonado Agency, Rachel Zoe’s old backer, “the most powerful stylist agency in Hollywood.”

The show goes into production soon - the pitches are all about Spring ‘09 product placement, so we expect it to debut well after Stylista’s September 3rd premiere.

So - that’s Gossip Girl, Stylista, The Stylist, and the return of Project Runway.

Should TiVo do a designer collaboration? Maybe they could even do a show about it…
