Gotta hand it to those producers, kittens. They tried like hell to squeeze some drama out of the last few moments of competition. Instead we got “I learned that I’m strong”-style monologues that only made us feel embarrassed for the people forced to utter them. And while...

As the remaining designers get eliminated from Project Runway, we’ll take a look each week at the auf’d designer’s decoy collection.   Part of us feels really bad because we keep hammering the same point home every time we talk about him: there’s simply nothing...

We have to give him credit for holding it together, so far as we could see. A lot of contestants would have either collapsed under Ivy’s accusations or gone completely crazy. Michael mostly rolled his eyes at someone who was no threat to him, which was the exact right way to react. If...

She briefly got involved in the drama and then quickly (and wisely) backed out of it to get back to work. We just love her for finding that balance between being a fun character while still being a hard worker and doing interesting things. We want to buy her a pony. She sort of did the same...

Gretchen couldn’t decide if she wanted to be in the thick of things or out by the margins doing her own thing. She kindasorta co-signed Ivy’s accusation, mildly backing her up under Tim’s questioning, but then she turned around and did this whole “I’m reaching...

Well! Smell her. We’ve long held that Project Runway is not the fashion world. Not even close. It’s a game show with “fashion-y” challenges. Totally artificial scenarios that have little to do with the actual industry or the experiences of the people working in it....

So…whatever happened to “These are just clothes, this isn’t fashion?” Guess that kinda got tossed out the window when Heidi has money to make. It’s always so heartwarming when the designers are reunited, isn’t it? Camaraderie, friendship, love. Bitch on the...

We understand why so many Project Runway contestants default to black for their creations. First, because it hides a multitude of sins, and second, because then no one can fault you for your color choices. We were automatically inclined to love this collection simply because it just may be...

No bitchiness here. This was adorable. But this was a little creepy. Although if it didn’t have the eyes, we would have said it was one of the better prints. Model: Lenka And while this was far from perfect, we think it may be one of the best things he’s done on the show. Since...

We realize April’s so young she’s practically fetal, but her mom looks like her sister. No wonder she favors black so much. Childhood color trauma. She was one of the few designers who seemed to grasp what the challenge was all about; not “memory bubbles” or...

Darlings, we don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s quite possible, likely even, that the judges are all having nonstop crack parties on shooting days. Exhibit A: They praised this. No, really. Unlike seemingly a lot of the viewers, we find Gretchen to be hilariously...

Well, we got double the cute on the boy front, for which we’re entirely grateful. Model: Rose      Unfortunately, we’re still getting department store clothes from Christopher. Even more unfortunate, they’re not even good department store clothes this time....

We admit it: we don’t really get what was going on with Andy this episode. Sure, he’s young, but no one else seemed to have the reaction to seeing a family member that he did. It just drained all the ambition out of him. We’re not criticizing (no, really!); we just...

So…great episode, right? Tears! Reunions! The patented beauty queen gas mask pose! Stunningly beautiful judge who also happens to know what the hell she’s talking about! Completely unself-aware German spokesmodel and television hostess dressed like a smacked ass! Matadors! Mondo!...

  One thing we’ve learned in the years writing this blog is that fashion is experiential. Depending upon how, where and when you see it, you can have wildly different impressions of it. This collection was extremely low-key on the runway, to the point of looking a little boring to...

We hate to say it, but not only has Christopher’s work been bland, it’s also been a bit derivative. You could argue that since his work is not innovative, then by definition it’s all derivative, but that’s an unfair criticism to make in the general sense. Very few...

Darlings, if you’ve ever wondered what a drag queen would wear on her wedding day… Now you know. Oh, Val. Doll baby, what has happened to you? We did not expect to see you having such a hard time in the competition. She’s making that mistake that so many competitors have...

Darlings, the Disco Cupcake Fairy will soon be coming your way, ready to hand out cocaine-laced goodies for everyone. Or, if you don’t want to go that route, try this one: Jessica Fletcher stumbles across a murder mystery when a model, who is a friend of one of her thousands of nieces,...

Ah, yes. The classic Project Runway beleaguered-designer mistake: “The judges think I’m X, but I’ll show them that I can really do the hell out of Y!” In Ivy’s case, it was, “The judges think my work is bland and colorless, but I’ll show them I can do...

Y’know, we’re not always on board with the idea that the designers are overworked and don’t get enough time to complete their looks. To us, that’s the point of the show; to get a bunch of creative and talented people to jump through hoops just to see what they can come...

Minions, we don’t know what they were pumping into the studio, but those judges were the crankiest buncha bitches we ever did see. Let’s take a closer look, T Lo style. “I don’t know what to say anymore. The person in my earphone is even speechless. Michael?”...
