You might have heard the news about Bravo's reality TV plans, which include not one, not two, but potentially three fashion shows aimed at filling the giant Project Runway–shaped hole in their schedule. But did you know the network has also just launched an online store selling Bravo-related products? We're conflicted about the wisdom of this decision. On the one hand, it's cool to see clothes by talented Project Runway contestants like Chloe Dao and Laura Bennett and Kara Janx all in one place. On the other hand, does anyone really need a place to buy jewelry designed by one of the Real Housewives of New York?
