India Hicks, 'Top Design'

New host India Hicks replaces Todd Oldham

"Top Design" has gotten a makeover with 13 new contestants and a new host.

Bravo's "Top Design" returns for its second season with a baker's dozen of competitors and a new host, India Hicks, on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Hicks was a popular fashion model of the '80s and '90s, is a second cousin to Charles, Prince of Wales and is the daughter of famed British interior designer David Nightingale Hicks.

Previous host Todd Oldham will confine his participation to playing mentor to the contestants, while Jonathan Adler, Margaret Russell and Kelly Wearstler return as judges.

The designer who demonstrates the most flair and versatility for interior design will win a $100,000 cash prize and a four-page editorial showcase in Elle Decor magazine.
