As lackluster as this season – and especially this finale – was, as we look over these two collections, there’s no doubt that the judges made the right decision. Both of these designers are capable of better than this and it seems to us that the way the finale was constructed...

Well, that went exactly as expected, didn’t it? Not that we have any issue with the win; just that this entire exercise shook out exactly as everyone predicted it would. And the problem with a reality competition designed to give one person the win is that the resulting TV show is as...

Darlings, we know from Project Runway. And if there’s one thing about Project Runway that is truer than all other things about Project Runway it’s this: 35mm Music Club at the Multikino Złote Tarasy Cinema in Warsaw, Poland designed by Robert Majkut. A Project Runway finale just...

Well.   That certainly was a waste of time, wasn’t it? If you cut out all of Mondo’s whining and strategizing to get the maximum amount of camera time, there would have been more than enough time to have 6 runway shows. We were curious as to what the format was going to be...

Darlings, pack your tampons, because we’re jetting off to Bali! SOS Rooftop Lounge & Bar, Bali The weather’s been all kinds of shitass crazy around here and now we’re both getting sick. Which, as you may know, sucks. So let’s all get pretend-drunk tonight in...

Thankfully, we’re at the point where we can wrap up our coverage of an episode in one day. Can you tell we’re, how do you say? Over it? Oh, Austin. Sweetie. We just don’t understand. You are an experienced designer. You would know, better than any of the other...

We thought this was a pretty great challenge because it was far closer to the real world of fashion design than the fantasy challenges Project Runway normally deals out. Startup or struggling designers will have to jump through hoops to satisfy a boutique owner’s wishes and demands,...

Darlings, pack a sweater and some sensible shoes because we’re going tree climbing tonight! The Redwoods Treehouse located north of Auckland, New Zealand.   Just don’t look down after your third Martini.   So! It’s time to ask The Question, darlings: Who will be...

Kenley Clear and obvious winner. In our living room, at least. Austin’s was nice enough, but it wasn’t particularly avant garde – and isn’t it odd how often “avant garde” is realized on this show by giving the garment a huge collar or neck treatment?...

“Designers, this week, you will be expected to jump through flaming hoops over shark tanks while juggling ferrets! Because … FASHION!” We joke because we (sort of) love. We’ve said for years that Project Runway is a game show, so how much can we actually complain when...

Ladurée Le Bar, Paris Darlings, we’re on our way out the door to a fabulous dinner and fashion presentation that we’ll tell you all about later. If you’re good. So you’ll have to jet off to Paris without us, just this once. Don’t worry, we set up a tab for you so...

Darlings, let’s take a break from looking at all those world-class gowns at the various Oscar events and jump back into the reality television pool, where the gowns are considerably lower than world-class.     This dress smells like flop sweat. It’s got...

This is a pretty clear redux of things Kenley’s done before, but we don’t think it was entirely fair for the judges to ding her for it, since at this point in the game, you can say that about almost everybody’s entries.     We don’t hate it, nor do we...

It’s kind of sad how quickly this show became formulaic. We suppose that’s to be expected when every participant in the contest knows how to game the system because they’ve been through it once before. Not that we’re accusing anyone of cheating; just that we don’t...

And we’re OFF TO SHANGHAI, kittens! Allons-y!    Tou Ming Si Kao bar in Shanghai And while it’s true that those stools don’t look very comfortable, underlighting is always a jet-lagged gal’s best friend, darlings. Never forget that. “At the prestigious...

  Jerell Either we’re confused or Jerell was. Did we miss the part when he was assigned Miss Hannigan from Annie? This takes the problem Austin’s had and turns the dials to eleven. In Austin’s case, we can at least understand why he chose Marie Antoinette as the...

Darlings, we haven’t forgotten our first love. We could never leave a Project Runway dress unremarked-upon. Our minions would never forgive us and we would get upset stomachs. We do it for you, darlings. And for the children. Also, our stomachs. During the episode we thought this was a...

Ah, Godspell. How you shaped our ’70s Catholic school childhoods by influencing an entire generation of semi-closeted nuns to pick up their guitars and force us to learn half the songbook. Do they still have guitar masses? Or did all those Birkenstock’d nuns finally drop the veil...

  Bijou Club, UK Yes, darlings, the T LOunge is OPEN! Fashion Week exhaustion couldn’t slow these two bitches down!  Now pack your bags and – You know what? Mommy’s tired. It’s all about Broadway baby, when the designers compete for their Broadway debut. The award...

Hey, remember Project Runway? We’re not so caught up in Fashion Week and awards shows that we’d forget to post about it, though. Just took a little time getting here, is all. Didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it either. In fact, we got what she was going for and we...

Sharpen your knives and get your pitchforks, kittens. T Lo has an unapproved opinion. Again. We didn’t love this, but not for the reasons you might think. Sure, it was juvenile and impractical, but welcome to the world of fashion. We had less of an issue with those aspects of the...

We LOVED this look: And we definitely would have picked it for the win. It was easily the most high fashion of all the looks walking that runway. We think the pants are somewhat oddly fitted but the top is so bold-looking and so classically chic that we’re a bit disappointed she...

Darlings, unfortunately we can’t provide screencaps this morning, so use your no-doubt formidable memories to illustrate the following brief recap: The designers all have to make sportswear looks and are pitted against each other in teams of two. Michael and Mondo turn into whiny babymen...

Darlings, we’ll take Manhattan, but you all are heading off to Warsaw for a night of pierogies and vodka! We can’t make it due to a full dance card of New York Fashion Week events, but we’ve set up a tab for you guys, so pack your panties and get jetting.  Velvet Bar at the...

Kara Totally forgot about this one. The hats certainly were popular this week, weren’t they? It’s not bad. Well, the pants are bad, but the idea behind the outfit is sound and we like the way she combined the fabrics. The top’s probably a little too interesting for its...

Can we just say… That we love how Austin and his model look like a matched pair? He dressed to match her outfit. How can you not love that? And how could the judges not love this enough to declare it the win? Mondo’s was cute and all, but this was, to our eyes, a much more...
