With the success of "America's Next Top Model," The CW is developing more fashion programming with the help of Isaac Mizrahi.

The designer will co-executive produce for the network "The Collection," a one-hour scripted project based on his experiences, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Elisa Bell ("Little Black Book"), who will write and executive produce the show, will use the fashion world as a backdrop to address issues such as "racism, giant egos, fragile relationships, drugs, conflict of ethics and sexuality," said Bell, adding, "The fashion world operates in our show as a microcosm of American society. Regardless of how you feel about fashion, everyone is a member of the club, because at the start of every day, we all get dressed."

ABC Studio and Sander/Moses Productions will produce. Ian Sander and Kim Moses are planning a cross-platform approach similar to what they did for their CBS supernatural drama "Ghost Whisperer," in which they brought in an online component.

Mizrahi, 46, is a top designer who briefly had his own self-titled show on the Style Network, appeared in a cameo for "Ugly Betty" and has performed rather controversial red carpet duties for E! on occasion. He also has designs featured at Target.
