Back before MTV had Teen Mom or The Jersey Shore there was a gem of a TV show titled House of Style that ran from 1989 -2002 and now MTV has confirmed they are bringing back the famed show this fall.

What exactly is House of Style? The MTV show combined everything from behind the scenes during Fashion Week and photo shoots, showcased the latest trends, had a DIY segment with Todd Oldham titled “Todd Time” where we learned how to dye your hair with Kool Aid (PS – I’ve done this – was not worth the $300 salon visit to get the Kool Aid out) , interviews with the hottest musicians all while hosted by supermodels including Cindy Crawford, Daisy Fuentes, and Rebecca Romijn.

Now After 10yrs off the air House of Style is back starting a with a documentary short coming out on August 7th followed by the announcment of the new host during the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Red Carpet on Thursday, September 6th. House of Style will be filming during New York Fashion Week and will formally launch on October 9, 2012 on HouseOfStyle.MTV.Com.

“House of Style is deeply rooted in celebrating and drawing energy from our audience’s mix-and-match love of fashion, music and pop culture,” said Dave Sirulnick, executive vice president, News and Production, MTV. “In bringing back House of Style, we’re once again looking to spotlight the spirit, personality and sometimes humor of the most interesting people in fashion who personify the energy of style in 2012.”

Starting today MTV has unlocked the House of Style Collection, a digital archive full of 150+ clips, still images from fashion legends including supermodel and former host Cindy Crawford, Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, CFDA award-winning designer Marc Jacobs and legendary singer and fashion designer Gwen Stefani.
