Beware the wrath of Jessica Simpson. Now the star of another reality show, this time about fashion, Jessica got into a heated discussion with one aspiring designer in the first episode of the series Fashion Star.

You can see video of the incident below.

Australian Nicholas premiered his collection for the jury and potential buyers, but he didn't like criticism coming from Jessica Simpson and Nicole Richie.

For those who don't know, both these ladies are sitting atop of blooming fashion empires; Jessica's is estimated at over $1 billion (€765.2 million), so it's safe to say she knows what she's doing and saying.

One of the things that Jess didn't like about Nicholas' creations was that it had too many zippers, even in the wrong places.

Nicole, on the other hand, didn't appreciate how they combined rock / biker jackets with rolled up jeans and socks.

Nicholas, in his turn, hated everything they had to say.

“It’s very hard to understand the girls giving advice about men’s fashion,” he said.

As Jessica and Nicole look on, yet unsure how to respond, host Elle Macpherson can be heard saying, “That is so Ozzie chauvinist.”

Luckily, Jessica isn't one to let such a shameless remark simply slip by without her giving Nicholas a piece of her mind.

“I’m a little bit offended. A lot a bit, actually. To talk down to a woman in this business? We’re running the world right now,” she said.

She's laughing, but there's no denying she didn't take that well.

“Nick, we’re trying to help you,” Nicole chimes in.

“Yeah, Nick, I'm trying to help you,” adds Simpson. “I really kind of want to hit you across the face right now,” she continues.
