    Yesterday, Amazon announced that season 3 of Vogue's The Fashion Fund is now available for streaming through its video library. This series is a little different than the company's Prime Video offerings, though, as you can watch The Fashion Fund for free thanks to its ads. This is a first for Amazon, breaking from its subscription-based streaming plan to offer free ad-supported content to viewers. The company has offered television shows for free if you were willing to sit through ads before, but usually the selections are limited to the first episode.

    If you're a fan of Project Runway, Amazon has a new show that may pique your interest. The online retailer announced the 10-episode unscripted series The Fashion Fund, a show that chronicles the selection process designers face for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. For the uninitiated, a committee, led by Vogue's Anna Wintour and CFDA Chairman Diane von Furstenberg, selects 10 designers each year to go through a 4-month competition to win cash and a mentorship from a pro in the fashion industry.
