TLC Announces New Fashion DocuSeries Starring Ashley Paige Fashion Designer
 June
14, 2008 Los Angeles- TLC announced today that it will premiere the new
program, “Ashley
Paige: Bikini or Bust” on July 11th at 10 PM & 10:30 PM ET/PT. The docu-series
goes inside the life of Ashley Paige, a renowned bathing suit designer who
had it all—magazine covers, A-list celebrities wearing her bikinis, a brand-new
store in Los Angeles… in short, a promising career in the fashion world.
But, just as quickly as she became an overnight sensation, she hit rock
bottom. Currently, Ashley can barely make rent, let alone successfully run
her business. But that’s all about to change as she embarks on a journey
to take all of her potential and turn it into success.
“I'm grateful the universe sent me on this journey; I have manifested my
dreams through hard work and exhilarating moments. The path I took taught
me that I am an artist, not a businessperson. I am excited for people to
get a real look into what it takes to make it in the fashion world, from
the bottom up—one string at a time,” explained Ashley.

Ashley will be the first to tell you that navigating the Los Angeles fashion
world is no easy task. Luckily she isn’t going it alone: her mother Leah,
who lives with Ashley, serves up loving advice and an endless amount of
freshly baked treats. In the office is a team of supporters who believe
in her, including the thread that holds her business together—Juan, who
hand-knits her designs, bringing them to life.
In addition to juggling work and home, Ashley runs the nonprofit animal
rescue foundation Ruff Houzen (www.ruffhouzen.org),
providing her with an outlet for her passion—saving animals.
“Ashley’s story is unique yet relatable. As a talented fashion designer
who struggles to run her business, this series is really about following
your dreams, learning from the mistakes, and leaning on the people in your
life for love and support,” said Brent Zacky, VP of Programming at TLC.
“Each episode will be a great adventure as Ashley works to make it in the
fashion world, while juggling all of life’s challenges and rewards.”
The series is executive produced by David Broome/Twenty Five/Seven Productions.
It will air twelve 30-minute episodes back-to-back for six weeks.
