In an interview about television criticism, Alexander Gorbunov spoke with HABER.ru, noting that the program “Decision on Fashion” is likely to remain on the air even after the exit of host Alexander Vasiliev.
Gorbunov pointed out that Alexander Vasiliev was not the first person to helm Fashionable Sentence. Before him, the show welcomed fashion designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev and Andrey Bartenev as hosts. This illustrates that, with the right strategy, a TV channel can replace any presenter without derailing the format, he explained.
The critic described the show as engaging because it blends striking visuals with guests who can make meaningful changes in their lives. Viewers seem drawn not to a single personality but to the structure and rhythm of the program. At the same time, Gorbunov suggested that the show could become more compelling if it featured a rotating panel of hosts who take turns guiding the episodes. He also questioned whether stylist Rogov and actor Vernik would be able to captivate the audience that the program targets.
Gorbunov noted that regardless of the host, Alexander Rogov is closely tied to the STS channel in the public imagination. He also observed that actor Igor Vernik has often had to adjust his filming commitments due to a busy schedule, leaving uncertainty about his ability to adapt to the show and whether his presence would increase the show’s appeal.
Earlier, the former host of another children’s program discussed the challenges faced while working on the project, offering insights into the evolving television landscape and the demand for formats that can evolve with new personalities.
