Count model Denise Bidot among the wave of New Yorkers defecting to Los Angeles, but she didn’t come just for the weather.
Bidot is officially joining as cohost of the upcoming Quibi show “Fashion’s a Drag,” produced by Hearst Originals, the production arm of Hearst Magazines that has been expanding in L.A. over the last year as it works to sell more shows and IP to Hollywood. Bidot will be hosting the show with Willam Belli, a well-known drag queen and they will be discussing fashion on a daily basis over the spring and summer, mainly from a celebrity angle but with some runway worked in.
Quibi’s entire content model is streaming short-form video, so episodes of “Fashion’s a Drag” will only run 10 minutes or so, five days a week and the current order is for 130 episodes starting in early April, when Quibi launches.
“It’s the buzz around town, so to be part of it is exciting,” Bidot said. “People are ready for something like this, quicker bites, and we have to create content for them.”
