Whether you plan on watching the reunion/Behind the Seams special tonight or not, we think anyone who slogged through season 9 of Project Runway deserves a stiff drink or three. China Doll Club in Beijing, China So let’s all jet off to Beijing, kittens! Tears and retribution,...
PR: Ripping the Collections: AnyaAnya makes fairly pretty clothes in an extremely narrow range. There’s no crime in any of that nor is there any reason to think she’s less likely to have a successful fashion design career as anyone else who ever appeared on (or even won) Project Runway. You never know. There were... PR: Ripping the Collections – JoshIn retrospect, we’re thinking Josh was the Michael Costello of this season. Not because he played the victim one too many times (although Josh could turn to victimhood at the drop of a hat: “You’re getting very aggressive with me!”), but because he got strung along by... T LO Interviews Bert KeeterWe know our Bitter Kittens well and we’ve known for some time now that if there was going to be one person from Season 9 of Project Runway to get the T Lo Interview, it was going to have to be T Lo Commentariat Favorite, Mr. Bert Keeter, or as we liked to call him, The Queen Mother.... PR: Ripping the Collections – ViktorWe’ve made no secret of the fact that we thought Viktor should have won this season because his collection was easily the strongest of the four finalists. In the tent, at the time, we weren’t quite as sure. We immediately saw it for the strong collection it was, but we thought... PR: Ripping the Collections – KimberlyWe were glad that Kimberly got her chance to show at Fashion Week. Of all the finalists, we thought she wanted that chance more than any of them. Unfortunately, she choked a little when she got there. The problem with her collection on a whole was that there was too much of a street-y... PR: All Over But the ShoutingYeah. So THAT happened. The thing about our Project Runway blogging is that it’s changed over time. It’s had to. We went from being total bystanders, no different from anyone else who watches the show, to the guys that people involved with the show read regularly, and the #1 guys... T LOungeThis is it, darlings. Try and work up the excitement. Electric Birdcage Bar in London And if you can’t work up the excitement, you can at least try and keep down the bile. Oh, you know what? Let’s all get drunk and have fun tonight. Guest Judge L’Wren Scott We were impressed... PR: AnyaologyOkay, bitches. Let’s get this one started. It would have been possible to write this post without ever seeing the pictures. Say what you will about Anya, she has a very definable point of view. Long-skirted or wide-legged, most often paired with a plunging neckline and rendered... PR: KimberlyologyKimberly, please step forward so we can judge you. Our first impression upon viewing these looks all together is that this is a designer who struggled quite a bit during the competition. So much of it has the feel of “I’m trying to give the judges what they want” rather than... PR: ViktorologyYou know what really struck us once we put all of Viktor’s competition entries together? These looks are AMAZINGLY consistent in that they’re almost all impeccably made and stylish. In fact, it’s a wonder to us that so much of his work seems to have passed... PR: JoshologyLet’s kick off that T Lo tradition of the “Ologies,” examining the competition entries of each of the Project Runway finalists, with everyone’s favorite advocate for eyebrow waxing, Josh. What can we expect from the little drama queen for the finale and what will the... PR: Everybody gets a pony!Oh, God. Do we have to do this? Really? Aren’t you all shrieked out and exhausted? We certainly are. But since some of you come here to hear what we have to say, we suppose we should just get to it. The only good thing to come out of last night’s ridiculous judging was an... T LOungeOur previous post has put us in a colorful mood – but let’s face it; when are we NOT in a colorful mood? – so let’s all head on over to Edinburgh, where the men wear skirts and the bars are designed by Missoni. Bar Missoni in Edingburgh, United Kingdom Which... PR: Ripping the Collections – LauraTo our eyes, Laura’s collection was easily the best of the Project Runway collections shown this year. Even if you don’t agree, compare her collection to those of the finalists: it’s head and shoulders above each of them. What makes this so interesting to us and something of... PR: The Heavy ArtilleraryWe’re not quite sure what Clinique Counter was supposed to be inspired by. Cannons? Stained glass? It was all very vague. And when you really can’t figure out your own inspirations, the subsequent work is going to be equally as vague and ill thought-out. As far as we can tell, he... PR: Miss Kimberly’s Very Bad DayWe’re not gonna lie; we groaned a bit when we saw the direction Kimberly was heading in. Earlier in the competition, she had a tendency to default to heavy-looking metallics that made for heavy-looking clothes that the judges didn’t particularly like. That she labeled this same... PR: Judging The JudgesHit it, ladies: You can tell both Heidi and Nina stepped up their games this week, knowing they’d be sitting next to someone who’s well known for being stylish and fabulous. We’ll give her a lot of credit for wearing something that’s at least interesting and not just... PR: Blah Blah BlahBlah blah final challenge blah. Blah blah stressed designers blah claws out blah. Blah humiliating blah. Fabulous blah blah. Blah greatest designer in the history of Project Runway blah. Seriously, now. What the hell kind of drugs were being passed around that crew last night? What Manchurian... T LOungeDarlings, let’s all spend one night in Bangkok! Bed Supperclub in Bangkok, Thailand Because we hear the bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free. The fabulous Zoe Saldana, who taunts T Lo regularly, will be sitting in the guest judge chair. Unlike most actress judges,... PR: Ripping the Collections – BertYou know how we frequently say “you had to see it in person” when discussing a collection? We’re gonna reverse that for this one. At the time, we were severely under-impressed with Bert’s collection at Lincoln Center. We felt that it was too much of a piece with his... |
