Karrueche Tran Hosts Fuse’s Reimagined Design Competition Series ‘Upcycle Nation’ | EUR Exclusive

*We caught up with  Emmy Award winner Karrueche Tran to dish about her new fashion competition series “Upcycle Nation” which features aspiring designers and upcyclers from around the country who compete to transform everyday items into fashion-forward streetwear. 

Fashion mogul Jérôme LaMaar and upcycling innovator Peder Cho star alongside Tran as expert judges. 

Per press release: In each episode, three clever, crafty and fashion-forward contestants will rip, tear, staple, burn, hammer, and sew their way through two high-stakes challenges to win a cash prize. From taking discarded denim jeans and making them into a new functional jacket, to repurposing old Oreo bags into a new couture handbag, they will use their raw talent to make something spectacular out of literally, nothing. 

Check out a preview below.
