Enjoy high fashion and pick up interior decor tips on some of the new hip shows on Li.

THIS is truly heavenly news for fashionistas. If you're a true blue follower of fashion, here is your chance to enjoy exclusive inside access to the world of haute couture, top trends, style secrets and learn how to be vintage savvy – all thanks to the latest offerings on Li (Astro Channel 706).

But if fashion-related programmes aren't your cup of tea, don't fret. Li's new programme line-up includes a home makeover show for those bored of run-of-the-mill interior design series with cookie-cutter hosts.

These new shows are in line with the channel's aim to bring a new trend of inspired living to its viewers through its diverse programmes which showcase the five aspects of an ideal lifestyle – food, home, wellness, travel and style. Check out what is in store.

> The Antonio Treatment (Oct 5, 9pm): Join Antonio Ballatore, winner of reality TV show Design Star (season four), and his crew of unconventional craftsmen as they transform lacklustre homes into liberal and radical creations.

If you think bright colours of hippie flower-power psychedelia are a tad too bright, get ready to raise an eyebrow (or two) as Ballatore introduces eccentric designs and colours, including hot pink geese decor, aged tin foil ceilings with quaint card deck motif and vintage Hollywood glamour meets rock 'n' roll grit.

In this enlightening docu-series, Ballatore showcases his creativity by designing a stylish vintage home for a family in the 1950s, a southern charm to a cupcake cafe and integrating nature and modern design into a couple's plain condo.

Be inspired by the self-professed "Lady Gaga of interior design" as he impresses with his ingenious ideas, distinctive use of bold colours and eye-popping decorative pieces. Don't be surprised if Ballatore creates a meat-designed living room – inspired by what his idol wore at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.

> All On The Line (Premiering on Oct 9, 10pm): Go behind the scenes of the fast and furious fashion business with Elle's creative director Joe Zee as he gives struggling designers the second chance they desperately need.

Renowned as one of fashion's friendliest ambassadors, Zee has earned impressive accolades, thanks to his creative genius and extensive experiences in leading fashion magazines the likes of W and Allure.

With an illustrious list of celebrity clients and trendsetting transformations – he is responsible for Justin Timberlake's makeover which elevated him from an awkward boyband member to a sharp-suited, sexy solo star, prompting the Frank Sinatra-style comeback – and high-profile collaborations with photographers and directors Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino.

This docu-series highlights how the top fashion and stylist insider rescues talented designers from the brink of bankruptcy by redesigning their lacklustre lines and presents their revitalised collections to leading retailers.

Armed with Zee's little black book of industry insiders and fashion-powerhouse friends that appear on the show to provide inspiration and dispense valuable advice, designers are placed in an enviable position perfectly primed for their shot at success.

Can Zee help designers create the rack ready lines so loved by buyers, and show them how to sell their creations without selling out? Will the designers take his advice to trim bloated work forces, ditch toxic advisors and abandon size snobbery to develop signature looks for customers of all shapes and builds? Or will old habits die hard and hinder them from sweet success?

> Dresscue Me: Shareen Vintage (Premiering on Oct 20, 11pm): Check out vintage-clothing warehouse owner and designer Shareen Mitchell, the fairy godmother of cost-conscious fashionistas, as she unearths timeless treasures from trash and transforms old, overlooked outcasts into fabulously fashion-forward frocks.

Armed with invaluable insider experience from her years at Mademoiselle and Vogue magazines, the former actress understands what works and what doesn't for women of different shapes and sizes. With her impeccable eye for trends, she manages to pull off high fashion cocktail frocks, hippie robes and eclectic mix of garments without haute couture cost.

In each episode, Mitchell welcomes exclusively female clients into her chic, no-boys-allowed Shareen Vintage boutiques in both downtown Los Angeles and New York. She listens to their stories and gives them the makeover to help them look and feel their absolute best.

Join her on hectic buying trips that include sifting through 2m-high heaps of clothes, and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her efforts to launch a new line and establish brand presence in the fast and furious New York fashion scene. A case of rags to riches?

> The Day Before (Premiering on Oct 31, 11pm): This high-octane, all-access documentary by French director, cinematographer and fashion maven Loic Prigent gives an exclusive sneak peak at four of today's greatest high fashion houses. Join Prigent as he waltzes through studios, ateliers and PR offices just 36 hours prior to Fall 2010 runway shows from Alexander Wang, Narciso Rodriguez and Jeremy Scott in New York and Nina Ricci in Paris.

Explore the frenetic energy of New York with the meteoric rise of young label Alexander Wang, marvel at Rodriguez's excellent couture craftmanship, indulge in Scott's humorously hip offerings and Ricci's celebration of romantic spirit.

The stakes are high in the surreal world of luxury fashion, where dresses remain unsewn, technical mishaps occur and models go missing mere minutes before the lights dim on the runway.

Watch in suspense as Taiwanese-American Wang undergoes a "chiffon crisis" and see Rodriguez step out of his studio in a panic two hours before his show with two key looks unfinished.

With these rare and refreshing glimpses of the backstage chaos, your heart will soar along with the riotous applause from the awestruck audience when the celebrated designers take their customary bow. – Sheela Chandran
