Lifetime proves attitude is the best accessory with the new series “Project Accessory." Hosted by actress and model Molly Sims, 12 designers will compete and showcase their unique vision for accessories, and show audiences how to transform any outfit.

The designers must dazzle Sims and the judges - designer Kenneth Cole and InStyle Editor Ariel Foxman — with their one-of-a-kind jewelry, belts, bags, shoes, headpieces and other wares, with the help of lifestyle expert Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti as their mentor. Emmy Award–winning actress Debra Messing and fashion critic and television personality Kelly Osbourne will appear as guest judges this season, among other fashion luminaries.

The winner of “Project Accessory” will receive $100,000 from eBay Fashion to start their own line, a feature spread in InStyle, and a year of professional runway hair styling courtesy of John Frieda® Precision Foam Color.
