Haute and Bothered

Haute and Bothered is a teen drama web series set in the fictional fashion school, Manhattan Fashion Institute.

The series appears like a fictional version of Project Runway, with high school students taking the place of aspiring designers in their early 30s. The students are part of their school's Design Studio program, an initiative which will reward its top student with a catwalk show at New York Fashion Week.

The interaction is typical high school fare, with characters representing many recognizable stereotypes. Each season sees a new intake of classmates, but the one staple is Marie Helen, a no-nonsense European teacher who puts the kids through their paces.

The series is sponsored by LG Mobile, and its products feature prominently throughout the program.

Video controls appear when hovering over the player window. Basic controls along the bottom allow browsers to pause and play the clips, adjust their volume, and view them in full screen mode. More advanced controls above them allow fans to view information about the episode they are viewing.

The episodes are short, typically lasting between four and five minutes each. New episodes are added every Tuesday. These are interspersed with interviews with the characters known as "True MFI Stories."
