Making the Cut is back on Prime Video with Season 3, and the designers this time around are more eclectic than ever. As in previous seasons, designers face off in weekly challenges that push them outside of their comfort zones and make them look at their strengths in a new way. And they don’t just make one look per episode. They make two — one a high-end fashion show piece meant to make the judges go “wow!” and the other an accessible version of that look that can be mass-produced and sold on Amazon. Making the Cut stands out from every other fashion competition show because the winning look actually gets made and is available to purchase immediately after the show airs. Now that’s forward-thinking fashion.
For Season 3, hosts Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn have a truly global mix of designers to mentor during their mission to find the next big brand. The designers hail from both coasts and well beyond, all the way to Switzerland and Brazil.
So, who are the designers in Making the Cut Season 3? And more importantly, where can you find them and their brands on Instagram? Be honest: are you looking to shop for designer clothes beyond what Amazon has to offer? We aren’t gonna stop you. In fact, we’re gonna guide you to the Instagram accounts for every Making the Cut Season 3 designer.
