What's On Tonight (Saturday): I make him buy me Balmain

Wonder Boy

Bonjour, fashionistas! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 26!

Tonight's Top Pick — this is summer, there isn't much to select from — is Netflix's documentary Wonder Boy, which profiles Olivier Rousteing, the creative director of luxury fashion leader Balmain. We will get insight into how Rousteing, who got the job at only 25 years old, thinks, and perhaps more intriguing, follow him on his journey of his self discovery. He's adopted, and wants/needs to know where he came from. I feel that.

Elsewhere, Half-Demon sisters begin to learn about their past, Reelz profiles Stan Lee, Archie Panjabi is still awaiting Departure, Academia's third match continues, Danger Force meets a ghost, the conflict among the Meerkat clans, and believe it or not, Decades has the Greatest Hero.
