Bravo has been praising the successes of its freshmen reality competitions Top Design and Shear Genius for awhile now. So it comes as no surprise that the pair have been renewed for second seasons. This Yahoo! article also confirmed Jaclyn Smith will return to host the second run of Shear Genius, in which hairstylists compete for $100,000. Not clear yet is if Todd Oldham or any of the judges would be returning on Top Design, in which interior designers, architects and artists vie for $100,000. Of course, it doesn't mean they won't re-up, just that no one is saying yet.

Todd Oldham to host Bravo's Top Design
Bravo seems to have found something of a niche with the reality programming. Top Chef has been well received, and Project Runway was nominated for an Emmy. With those successes under their belt they are ready to go it again with Top Design. The show will task twelve competitors with creating the best interior design each week. At the end of the ten episode run the winner will receive money to start their own design firm and a spot in a New York design showcase.Todd Oldham will host the show. He got his start as a fashion designer and you may remember him from Todd Time on MTV's House of Style. Since then he has moved into other design arenas including his own line of furniture, Todd Oldham by La-Z-Boy. He also designed The Hotel in South Beach. Oldham will be joined on the show by a panel of judges including interior designers Jonathan Adler and Kelly Wearstler, as well as editor in chief of Elle Decor Margaret Russell.
