UKTV Style Commissions Cineflix’s A-Listers Unzipped

LONDON, February 7: UKTV
Style, in association with E! Canada, has commissioned the Cineflix format A-Listers
Unzipped, which will begin airing
on the network on March 25 at 11 p.m.

A-Listers Unzipped, which is currently being filmed in Canada,
features Myleene Klass and her panel of fashion experts criticizing and making
over celebrities in need. Using a large CGI-driven video wall, the panel will
look at larger-than-life celebrity footage and paparazzi pictures, and will
give virtual fashion transformations, with Klass judging which makeover is the
best. The panel includes celebrity stylist Michael Schaeble, fashion bloggers
known as the Fug Girls, Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan and Grazia’s style
director, Paula Reed.

The series will also feature an interactive element, which gives viewers
access to technology that allows them to dress like their favorite celebrity in
a virtual way.

A-Listers Unzipped was commissioned by UKTV‘s
acting head of commissioning, Jane Rogerson, who commented, “A-Listers
Unzipped heralds a new exciting type of series for UKTV Style. We’re thrilled to
be working with A-List talent such a Myleene Klass and the innovative use of
cutting-edge technology as well as entertaining fashion gossip will make this
must see TV for today’s fashion conscious, celeb-savvy viewer. We all have
opinions on what celebrities should and shouldn’t have worn when we’re flicking
through the magazines and A-Listers Unzipped taps into that, making
compelling viewing.”

UKTV Style’s channel head, Catherine Catton, added, “A-Listers
Unzipped will be an entertaining look at fashion and celebrity couture. The
creative and innovative use of technology signals a new direction for UKTV
Style, which already has strong fashion content, and we’re thrilled to be
working with Myleene.”
