(Why that's often the case is certainly a subject for discussion or even debate.) But, at least on some level, we're going to call any representation a win (even as we continue to hope and push for more LGBTQ+ main characters). Netflix’s style series Next In Fashion sees 18 talented designers compete across 10 episodes for a huge cash prize of 250,000 and the opportunity to debut their own collection on Net-a-Porter. There’s also more than one instance of characters whose sexuality or gender identity are hinted at, or only revealed towards the very end of a series.
