Disney ABC licenses ‘The Fashionista Diaries’ to Fiver UK

Viewers in the UK will, thus, be able to watch this new series, which follows six hungry young hopefuls who plunge into the New York fashion world. The series premiered in the US on Soapnet on 1 August 2007.

The Fashionista Diaries is executive produced by Gary Auerbach, Julie Auerbach and Jenny Daly.

The deal was negotiated on behalf of Disney-ABC International Television by Holly Blackham, sales manager, UK and Ireland and Katie Keenan, deputy controller of acquisitions for Fiver.
