House of Style is an MTV show that premiered January 1, 1989 that focused on America's growing fascination with the "super model" craze. The show focused on fashion, lives of models, the modeling industry, and controversial topics such as eating disorders.

The show was directed by Joshua Homnick and Steve Paley and during its 11 year run, featured a variety of hosts, most of which were professional models. The most famous host of House of Style was original host Cindy Crawford, whose six year run as the host of House of Style helped make her a household name. Indeed, many credit Cindy Crawford as the reason for the show's success during its early years and point to the fact that after she left the series, MTV drastically cut the number of episodes ordered for each year after her departure until the show was reduced to a yearly special and then ultimately cancelled in 2000.

Other hosts of House of Style include: Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow, Rebecca Romijn, Molly Sims and ex-Germs/Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear.

Is being revived in 2009.
