FASHIONAIR is a fashion entertainment joint venture between Sojin Lee and Simon Fuller, creator of American Idol and manager of Victoria Beckham and Roland Mouret [1]. Its website fashionair.com won the Best Innovation award [2] as part of handbag.com's Online Fashion Awards in 2009. FASHIONAIR regularly produced and aired online, short programs exploring the style of fashion industry insiders and celebrities [3]. Its website was closed down and replaced with a holding page in April 2010 [4] as 19 Entertainment began a restructuring process [5] and withdrew funding [6]. After FASHIONAIR's suspension, members of its video production team carried on similar projects under the name Crispy Duck Productions [7].
