Threadbanger is a new show about DIY fashion made by a couple of cool cats I got the chance to meet at the Channel Frederator Awards last month here in L.A., Rob and Corinne.

I really enjoyed the first two episodes, even though I don't consider myself a fashionista in any way, shape, or form. But I always like to see people doing things themselves, and the fashion industry is ripe for a smackdown. Anything that knocks people off their high horse by showing how to do the same thing in your garage gets my vote.

Threadbanger is also one of the first new shows put out by Next New Networks, a startup that is focused on developing niche web shows. Threadbanger is a nice effort -- the site has plenty of features, including the ability to register and upload your own videos for inclusion in future shows. Nice.

My only gripes at this point would be the video quality, which needs to be better, especially for a show focused on something as visual as fashion. And I don't see a way to get the show on a Windows Media Center PC to watch on television. For something like Threadbanger, which is a medium-length format, I can picture a lot of people wanting to watch on their televisions. Maybe TVTonic could help out. Also, I tried to embed the player in this post, but it surrounded the video with heavy white borders on the right and bottom, which is offputting. I replaced the player with a screenshot linked to the site.

Here's a direct link to the show's feed.
