We’ll give him credit for going for something simple (at least compared with the rest of the collection). We still don’t like the dress, though. The fabric is ugly and cheap-looking and we’re just not feeling those sleeves.     Again, it’s a...

Say what you will about the sometimes bullshitty judging on this show – god knows we have – but there was a clear demarcation between the decoys and the finalists and it seemed that practically everyone in the tent knew who the decoys were by the lower quality of their...

    This would have to be the look we like the least. Dramatic, certainly but not particularly pretty or flattering. It’s more of an intellectual piece than a practical look. Still, kudos to her for the shorts and jacket.     Gorge. This is a reworked bridesmaid...

Darlings, this is easily one of our all-time favorite Project Runway collections. We said we hadn’t been this happy for a PR winner since Jay McCarroll won it in Season 1. There’s a reason for that: like Jay’s, this collection demonstrated an explosive, unique creativity...

We got a chance to do a phone interview with the warm and funny Leanne Marshall the other day. The funny thing was she was having some trouble with her phone and stepped outside to get better reception, which resulted in her yelling “Thank you!” every couple of minutes to...

  A very pretty, if somewhat simple dress. Love the pleating on the bodice. Not all that crazy about the fact that she needs both hands to walk in the dress but maybe that’s just us.     This is one of our favorite looks in the collection. All the proportions are just...

“People don’t change,” says Dick Whitman (for that was Dick and not the wholly created Don Draper we saw throughout the entire episode) and the rest of the episode goes about both proving and disproving it in various ways. Dick Whitman tried to change himself into an...

We honestly assumed that Korto was going to win based on the editing of the last episode and we’re going to admit that we would have been a little upset if she had. We think her collection was beautiful and dramatic but we also felt it suffered from some problems that in our opinion...

Alex gets naked and bids a fond farewell to season 5. Click to embiggen. If you ever find yourself in Brooklyn, stop by Alex’s store Rocketship, voted best in NY a couple times now, and you can always follow his scribblings here. Thanks for all the fun this year, Alex! Oh! And...

Fancast: Inside TV caught up with Kenley to find out whether she is really a Mean Girl or if it was just another case of Magical Elves editing. Here’s her side of the story: “We never got to see your personal life, even when Tim went to go visit you and check out the collection....

The designers celebrate the fifth season finale of Project Runway. The event was held at STK in West Hollywood, California and sponsored by Martell Cognac. Jerell, Blayne, Joe, Sweet P Wesley, Blayne, Korto, Jerell, Joe Elisa and Sweet P Nick and his partner David Suede and Emily John Wade...

    It pains us once again to admit that one of her least out-there looks is also one of our favorites. We don’t like the rope at the hem at all but we kind of love the feathered collar. We heard more than one person in the tent refer to this as Kenley’s “Laura...

Well kittens, we have a lot of ground to cover so let’s get started, shall we? As we said earlier, we didn’t respond well to Kenley’s collection. Put bluntly: it just ain’t our thing. Still, that doesn’t make it a bad collection by any means. Putting out what she...

WooHoo! We haven’t been this happy for a win since Jay McCarroll won it in season one. Don’t get us wrong, we could understand Chloe’s win, barely accept Jeffrey’s, and begrudgingly give it to Christian, but it’s nice to have the one you’re really rooting...

Since the last show (like every PR finale) focuses on the model casting and the runway show, we sat down with S3 model Amanda Fields to give us an insider’s look at the whole process and the life of a hardcore walker. Hello, darling! Thank you for taking the time to talk to us. Fashion...

Children, the word for today is “uneven.” Not the quality of the work, mind you. She’s no less even in the quality of her work than the other contestants. No, we mean it’s uneven in the sense that there’s no overriding aesthetic or through-line for her work. We...

Darling minions, are you depressed that Project Runway is ending tonight? Are you fearful that legal shenanigans will keep Season 6 in limbo for another decade? Dry your eyes, kittens. Stylista is on its way. “Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with...

Children, the word for today is “bold.” Bold colors, bold patterns, bold silhouettes. Like her personality, Kenley’s designs are loud and brash. You know what’s not the word for today? What never should have been the word for Kenley? “Retro.” Looking over...

Don Draper’s a self-absorbed piece of shit, but damn, does he look good when he’s being one. We’re nearing the end of the season with only two more episodes to go so it’s plot, plot, plot from here on out it looks like. For the first time this season, an episode picks...

Darlings, now comes one of our favorite parts of every season: the “ology” posts. This is when we look at the entire output of each remaining designer to see if we can find some common themes and make some predictions about their runway show. Of course, we’ve already seen...

Darlings, if you’re a long-time minion, you know how much we enjoy what we call the “homeward bound” episode at the end of every season. You can read our original thoughts on why we love it so much here. Basically, what we love most about it is that it fills in the blanks on...

The judges’ reaction to this dress was one of, if not the, most overwhelmingly positive reactions to a garment the judges have ever had on the show. At one point during the breathless gushing, Tom turned to Lorenzo and said, “Wow. They are totally moist.” And rightfully so....

Once again, kittens…   Let’s get to it. Not that we were ever completely won over by her, but when she made her totally half-assed apology to the other designers in their hotel suite, we thought, “Ok, she at least tried to give the appearance of being a little...

It was bullshitty in the first place that Jerell even had to compete for a spot in Bryant Park. He won that last challenge and by the rules of the competition that should have guaranteed him a spot. Unfortunately for him, the producers just couldn’t leave well enough alone. Which, come...
