Tomorrow night the spotlight will shine on two local fashion designers who will make their reality-show debut on NBC's "Fashion Star". Featuring host and super-model executive producer Elle Macpherson along with celebrity mentors Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos, the series will give 14 designers the chance to win a multi-million dollar prize to launch their collections in three of America's largest retailers: Macy's, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue. Caprice Willard (Macy's), Terron E. Schaefer (Saks Fifth Avenue) and Nicole Christie (H&M) will serve as the judges who make on-the-spot decisions as they vie for the right to purchase and exclusively carry the work of the up-and-coming designers each week. At the end of each episode shoppers will have the chance to immediately purchase the winning designs showcased on the episode that week.-Meet Lizzie Parker-

Having designed everything from the most essential basic “Lizzie Tee” to red carpet looks for model Summer Rayne Oakes, Lizzie draws inspiration for her designs from daily life. -Meet Lisa Hunter-
Designer Lisa Vian Hunter has been designing stunning original fashions since 2003.
