When one is about to reach a milestone or accomplish something noteworthy, it behooves one to pause for a moment, breathe, and reflect upon the path that took them to this point. We didn’t actually reach a milestone or accomplish anything noteworthy; we just thought that made a better...

Penultimate premiere episode dress-rip, darlings! We’re in the home stretch. Don’t falter in your bitchery now. We’ll give Cecilia credit for two things: 1) She had some interesting clothes on her rack, indicating the strong point of view the judges value; and 2)She brought...

Viktor did the whole Hissing Bitch routine – you know, when someone who’s about as threatening as a makeup sponge narrows their eyes and tells the camera how all the competitors are going to fear them because blahblahblah – but after that, it’s like we never heard from...

Onward, darlings! There are just so many of these famewhores to run down in the beginning! We’re not even half way through the list yet! Bryce seems capable and nice enough. He was the only one who admitted that the group underestimated Bert and that he had a new found respect for the...

Will the other top and other bottom please step forward for their post-judging judging? Anthony seems nice enough, but we have a very strong feeling that the mentions of his colorblindness and battle with cancer are going to get very old, very quickly. Not that he doesn’t have company...

We suspect that these next two are the ones everyone wants to talk about, so hit it, designers: Remember what we said in our earlier post about how these prejudging scenes are going to be used to form a narrative? The judges made such a big deal out of her sewing skills – going so far...

Oh my god, are you guys talking foreign? Was this episode very testicular for some reason? Lifetime hasn’t seen that much discussion about the male scrotum in… well, ever. It’s baaaaack. That was a pretty fun way to open the episode, yes? So many things threw us for a loop....

A bit of “conventional wisdom” has popped up over the weekend regarding Mondo’s collection and we have to say we disagree rather strongly with it. It’s this idea that because Mondo uses relatively simple shapes and techniques in his collection, that means it’s...

We tried, minions. Really we did. Much to the chagrin of probably most of you, we really tried to look at this collection with a fresh set of eyes and with the judges’ critiques still ringing in our ears. And to be fair, there are some pieces here that we like. But overwhelmingly, our...

We felt bad for Andy, who was quickly dispensed with by the judges in favor of an extended catfight over Gretchen and Mondo. His collection deserved better than that, in our opinion. We wouldn’t have declared it the winner, but he showed some downright beautiful pieces and enough...

We made the point earlier that Michael C’s designs are in the Bob Mackie mold and that’s still true, but maybe a bit of a disservice to him because it implies he’s a costume designer. If we were to pick more modern designers for comparison, we’d toss out names like...

April announced that the inspiration for this collection was “broken down dolls,” which is of a piece with her aesthetic. Michael Kors told her there was no joy in her work but frankly, we think he sounded a bit like an out-of-touch middle-aged queen. Not that we have our finger...

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...

  He didn’t always produce work that we responded well to, but Michael Drummond did always manage to catch our attention with some interesting ideas and innovative use of techniques. We don’t love (or even like) every piece of this collection but we love the feel of it...

  Now that we’ve caught up a little bit on fashion week, it’s time to look at the Project Runway finale show collections that have since been revealed to be decoys. We’ll do Casanova today, Michael D tomorrow (probably) and then each designer as they get elminated...

Poodles, that was easily one of the most entertaining runway trainwrecks we’ve ever had the pleasure to witness. We’ve said it before, but what makes for a truly memorable reality TV participant is the likelihood that they will inadvertently and completely unbeknownst to...

Chapter 2: Things Fall Apart The Duchess loved that top but we can’t say we agree. The shiny strip down the middle doesn’t strike us as particularly flattering, especially on that boxy top. The skirt is nothing to write home about either. Nice enough, but not a winner by any...

Do not adjust your monitors, darlings. There’s nothing wrong with the color display, it’s just time for Mila’s collection. Of the three finale collections, there was no question in our minds that Mila’s was the most focused. She never once deviated from her very strict...
