Alla fine di ogni episodio, edizioni limitate dei look vincenti di ciascun episodio saranno subito disponibili per l’acquisto in esclusiva nello store Making The Cut di Amazon Fashion. Dopo che la maggior parte dei look della prima stagione sono andati sold out in meno di due giorni, per la seconda stagione verrà aumentata la disponibilità dei look vincenti.

Executive producer della serie sono Sara Rea, Page Feldman, Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn e Jennifer Love. Making The Cut è prodotta da Hello Sunshine e Amazon Studios.
