Casting calls to find 12 best innovative designers for season 2 begin June 30 in Los Angeles

NBC's popular reality competition series "Fashion Star" is kicking-off its search for the 12 best innovative designers for its second season. Casting calls will begin in seven major U.S. cities - Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco and Miami beginning June 30 and continuing into July to discover the next big brand in fashion.

In its premiere season, the show crowned Kara Laricks the first winner of "Fashion Star."
