HSN has been the subject of reality TV shows. Now the St. Petersburg TV shopping network is becoming a stage for reality show discoveries. Rami Kashou, a finalist and audience favorite on Project Runway, appears May 15 with a $280 version of an evening gown he designed for the Bravo series that provides exposure to undiscovered Seventh Avenue talent. He becomes the second Project Runway contestant on HSN's Scoop Style show after an Uli Herzner gown sold out a year ago. "We're confident Rami's will sell out, too'' said Jesse Stowell, spokesman for Scoop NYC, the chain of trendy boutiques that will sell Vera Wang Lavender and Theory on the same show.
