The 90’s television revivals aren’t stopping at 90210 and Absolutely Fabulous. No, House of Style’s jumping on the trend, too.

The Post reports that the MTV show that made Cindy Crawford America’s sweetheart is back for a second try, and the producers already have their sights set on Chanel Iman and Bar Rafaeli (who already has some experience with camera crews) as hosts.

Assuming the show will be the same format of fashion and design information brought to Americans via cute girls, we’re betting it’ll be a hit, especially with those that want to further understand the decade they were born in, which is pretty much MTV’s target audience these days anyway.

In the meantime, please enjoy Cindy and Niki, at left.

During the last couple Fashion Weeks, you were like to spot either Tyson Beckford or Niki Taylor with a camera crew in tow, since they were filming Bravo’s Make Me a Supermodel.

Now, you can add Nicole Trunfio to that list, since she’s just been brought on by the show as “a mentor to the female models.” The Bravo press release also says you can count Catherine Malandrino in as a judge, whom you might remember from an earlier episode of Project Runway.

We’re a little surprised Nicole took this gig - We wouldn’t have pegged the skateboarder and summer housemate of Gemma Ward as the reality TV type, but hey, does anyone on television surprise you anymore?

Oh.

My.

Goodness.

Oh - and Niki Taylor’s in there, too…

This morning we got stuck in the elevator at the New Museum.

We were claustrophobic and a little panicked, but admiring Andre J’s sequined turban. Thankfully, Carine’s covergirl took charge and rang the alarm.

Once in the Sky Room on the museum’s eighth floor, we were greeted with a sea of Wayfarers, a handful of bowler hats and Niki Taylor filming Make Me A Supermodel. But even with the celebrities and well-knowns in the room, it was Tyson Beckford whose entrance brought the noise level down to about a 2, and elicited an “Oh my god,” from Andre who was sitting to our right.

Oh, right. The clothes: Form’s A/W ‘08 collection was sculpted, “architecture inspired” and almost every hem was asymettrical; there were bias seams, one sleeved dresses and tights pulled over stockings (which were sort of awkward at the beginning but we sort of loved it by the end). And more of the hot pink we’ve been loving through this season’s runway swirl (even on lips!)

The clothes were eye-catching - but maybe a little hard to wear without a runway, pulsing techno and a 5’11” body to drape it onto.

Other runway sightings: Snoods, muffs and a cross between a ponytail and a pompadour with a single, super long purplish-black extension stuck in the middle.

Leven Ramblin loved it, and we love her. But when the elevator got stuck again after the show ended, she yelled, “All the fatties have to get off!”

We hope she was joking…

Questions for Alexandre Herchcovitch:

How do you make shoulder pads look feminine and soft and tent dresses look flattering and chic?

Do you really want your customer wearing plaid and stripes together?

Who made your amazing shoes? They look so comfy until you see their pins!

Do you know why Niki Taylor’s wannabe supermodels are stalking us?

How do you suggest we wear that perfect plaid jumper come fall?

Oh that’s right, you’re from Brazil, where it never gets cold and all the girls look like this…

We’re not sure what to make of Make Me a Supermodel, the new Bravo reality show with Tyson Beckford and Niki Taylor. The series claims to be like American Idol for fashion models, with the audience voting each week for their favorite face.

Our gut feeling is the show will stink, but it is produced by Bravo, who can even make cooking look interesting, so who knows.

But even if the show is dull, its behind-the-scenes makeup is fascinating, because of one thing:

The show is produced by Tiger Aspect Productions, a division of IMG Media. But while IMG is making money off the series, it won’t be lending its name in support:

Despite having arguably the best modeling agency in the world, IMG isn’t offering the show’s winner a chance to share their roster with Stam, Freja, Gemma, and Tanya D. Instead, the prize comes from New York Model Management, which boasts Daisy Lowe on its boards.

Maybe IMG learned their lesson during Season Two of Top Model, when they inherited the gorgeous but not-quite-fashion-focused Yoanna House from the series.

Or maybe it’s more practical than that - half of Make Me a Supermodel’s cast is men, and IMG recently sold off their boys’ division, which could leave their eventual winner in a really lonely spot.

The new Bravo show Make Me a Supermodel looks rather boring - except for one thing.

It’s Niki Taylor, former Cover Girl (and Sports Illustrated cover girl) who’s hosting the show - after about ten years on vacation.

But Niki’s not the only ’90s supermodel who’s got a reality gig. Heidi Klum’s fame achieved a new level when she took on Project Runway, and now Veronica Webb is Tim Gunn’s accomplice on his Guide to Style. Iman is also a Project Runway host, in Canada, and Elizabeth Hurley has the judging duties in London. Meanwhile, Rachel Hunter hosted Make Me a Supermodel in the UK and a very silly show called Style Me in the US.

Then of course there’s Tyra, who was perhaps the catalyst for the model-hostess trend in the first place. Her incredibly successful TV show turned her (back) into a star, and made her a lucrative production company in the process.

But maybe reality-models go deeper than Tyra, and into something about the very nature of mannequins. If their job has always been to heighten life, making things seem almost normal and attainable but also not really, then reality TV is their perfect place, a surreal space where you understand what’s happening, but it could never actually happen to you.

Unless, of course, you think The Hills is real.
