NBC has canceled “Fashion Star,” its reality competition in which a group of fashion designers competed to have their garments sold in Macy’s, Saks and Express stores.

The network moved the show from Tuesday to Friday nights for its second season.

The show was also was given a revamp, with Louise Roe brought in as host (replacing executive producer Elle Macpherson), Express taking over for H&M on the buyers’ panel and the designers getting grouped into teams under one of the mentors — Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie or John Varvatos — who also took on more of a hands-on role in helping the competitors.

The show’s May 10 finale drew 2.5 million viewers and a 0.5 rating in the coveted adults 18-49 demo — a significant drop from the season one finale’s 1.6 rating. With the exception of “The Voice,” NBC has struggled to find a breakout hit in the unscripted arena in recent years.
