In a stroke of genius, Revolve hosts “Bachelor” group date
The U.K.’s “Love Island” has been dancing circles around our homegrown “Bachelor” franchise for years, but this season ABC decided to step up its game by taking product placement to the next level. The retailer hosted a group date, which had Peter’s girls strutting the catwalk in casual and eveningwear looks of their choice. In an “America’s Next Top Model” twist, the runway walks were judged by Janice Dickenson, Carson Kressley and Revolve’s Raissa Gerona, and then their favorite girl was given $20,000 worth of Revolve clothing. Forget Hannah Ann, the real winner of Monday night’s episode was Revolve. {Glamour}
