BET’s annual fashion show Rip The Runway was taped on Saturday (2/21) at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

One thing that I can say that I enjoy about this show is that the models come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The show also gives lesser known designers the opportunity to showcase their talent to a market that will actually buy their pieces.

This year, the show was hosted by model/actress Joy Bryant, and actor Derek Luke. Hopefully this show will be better than the last, for the sake of progression.

The show airs on March 2nd 9pm on BET.  For more information about the designers and hosts you can check out the Rip the Runway 09 official site
