We never really understood the drama that comes whenever two designers pick the same fabric for a challenge. Granted, we don’t understand how, in a store the size of Mood, two designers would ever wind up choosing the same fabric, but still. Once the deed is done, what’s the big...

What does it say about this weeks challenge that some of the most interesting entries were stuck in the middle? Granted, “interesting” doesn’t necessarily mean “good.” This is almost certainly going to bite us in the ass down the line, but for now we’re...

The problem with “day to evening” challenges is that they’re not about design; they’re about styling. You crack open any fashion magazine and you’ll find a how-to on going from TPS reports to martinis in the same skirt – and it’s always about wearing...

The behind-the-scenes world of a fashion editor is not pretty, kittens. “Congratulations on your hard work, designers. I know you all wanted to make a dress for an internationally famous supermodel, but even ugly little fashion editors need something to cover themselves so the rest of...

Cecilia and Anya inadvertently demonstrated what you should and shouldn’t do when faced with a design that’s not working. Future contestants: take notes. Cecilia, honey, this was your first mistake: listening to Nina. That sounds like a silly thing to say, considering Nina was...

Aw, poor little Julie Dogblankets. We enjoyed her quirky ways, if not her tendency to wear pajamas during the day. Who didn’t see the loser edit coming from the beginning? Of all the designers, she’s probably the least likely to get a challenge like this right just because her...

This week on Project Runway, a salute to horror films! She should have held a really big knife in her hands to complete the picture. This may be the scariest sight any group of Project Runway designers ever faced. You just know there were internal screams of “Fat people! I’ll...

All credit must be paid to Olivier and Anya this week. They got along like gangbusters and seemed to be thrilled to have the chance to work with each other. Which is odd when you think about it because their styles are at opposite ends of the spectrum. He’s all Calvin Klein crispness...

You know what? These two ladies can SEW. Maybe not the most profound thing we’ve ever typed considering they’re on Project Runway, where sewing is a requirement to get in (believe it or not), but their work this week was impressive on both a technical level and a design one. In...

There was an attempt to wring some sort of drama out of this pairing, but it fell flat. Sure, these two high-strung, too-serious ladies had a collaboration characterized by their high-strung, too-serious attitudes, but to their eternal credit, they just kept working. Team challenges tend to...

Y’know, if the judges had been in a slightly different mood, the whole Julie/Joshua pairing could have provided a primer on how to get through a team challenge. Of all the teams, this one was the most mismatched. You’ve got the sporty gal on one side and the flamboyant queen on...

Okay, let’s break this down using math and science. 1) Viktor is a little bitch. 2) Bert is a bigger bitch.   We put off writing this, our apparently traditional Saturday post of wagging our fingers at Bert, because every interaction, as well as every bit of footage showing them...

We’re thinking of naming all the teams this week after psychology terms. We’re taking suggestions, but we’ve already established who’s on Team Passive-Aggressive We really hate it when we come up with a good nickname for someone and then they get sent home. Watching...

We’ll say it. It’s a fanboy cliche and we don’t haul this one out often, but… WORST.   CHALLENGE.   EVER. What was the point? That’s what we kept asking. Was the circus in town? Was there some sort of upcoming social event for really tall women? At...

Darlings, we can practically guarantee that you don’t even remember the following two looks (unless you’re related to the designers). One of these seasons, we’re just gonna throw up a bunch of forgotten dresses from prior seasons just to see if anyone will notice. Anyway,...

MORE shitty dresses to rip! My God, when will it end, bitter kittens? WHEN WILL IT END? Becky Lorenzo was rather adamant in his response to this dress: “EW!” Tom was a little more nuanced. “What? I know the colors are gross and the concept’s been done to death, but...

Well if the judges can’t be arsed to critique these looks, we’ll just have to bark out our opinions in their place. Stand back. Sometimes there’s spit. Anya Anya used leashes and rope dog toys to put together this fetching little look. We didn’t hate it on sight or...

TO: Her Serene Imperial Majesty, on the occasion of her royal fuckup. We, the undersigned, have several points we wish Your Grace to consider when carrying out her Queenly Duties going forward. If it please Your Highness, we will proceed through the use of visual aids. And if it doesn’t...

Before we get started, we would just like to say… There’s a reason we call him Miss Clinique Counter. THERE IS AN HONEST-TO-OPRAH BEAUTY QUEEN NEXT TO HIM WEARING LESS PRODUCT ON HER FACE. His face looks literally painted on. Like he gets up in the morning sans eyes, nose, and...

When we can tell the commentariat is more eager to talk about the runner-up looks than the winner and the auf-ee, that’s when we know those judge bitches effectively pushed some buttons. So let’s get to it, minions. You know you want to. Like many in the T Lounge, as well as on...

How much is that doggy bed in the window, darlings? Who cares? Tim Gunn just gave me 300 bucks to spend! The first unconventional materials challenge! Yay! Did everyone take a drink every time someone said “unconventional?” We did, and we woke up some time around 4 am wondering...
