It aired last spring and featured R&B superstar Miguel on the hunt for the next big thing, with a life-changing prize at the end.
The winning designer had their collection stocked in Flannels.
But according to TVZoneUk, the show will not be returning for a second series.
Miguel led the judging alongside British artist, clothing designer, skateboarder and model Blondey McCoy, entrepreneur and fashion designer Marc Jacques Burton.

Speaking about the show at the time, Clara said: “It feels great to be the host, I heard rumours that the show was being developed and was generally excited about it as a viewer! So when I was asked to host, I immediately said yes!
“My day to day look is very casual, I live for trainers, t-shirts and innovative design and worked in streetwear shops before I got into telly, so this is a strong full circle moment!”
She continued: “It was emotional, you would have to be a robot to do this show and not get emotionally invested in the lives of the creatives.
“The constant feelings I had were that of pride and awe because to see someone take a thought and make a garment from scratch is genuinely incredible and I was wowed by what I saw, I wanted to buy a lot of their stuff!”
