They’re not the typical stats of a would-be model. But “Britian’s Missing Top Model” hopes to change all that. The reality competition, premiering tonight in Great Britain on BBC Three follows eight hopefuls vying to prove they have what it takes to make it in the mainstream fashion world. The deal: Contestants pack into a Chelsea penthouse and, over the course of three weeks, get whittled down through a series of challenges. The prize: a high-fashion photo spread in the British edition of Marie Claire magazine.
The difference between this show and “America’s Next Top Model”: All the women have a disability.
