Project Runway
Make it work! The 5th season of the hunt for the next great fashion designer.
Admin: Steve Isaacs

Once again it is demonstrated that you can't judge a Fashion Show wearing sunglasses!!! Can we get rid of Michael Kors.
I guess no one is using this room this season of Project Runway. Did you all work for Bravo? ; )
I'm here! It just seemed quiet...
- Shannon Jiménez
Just read that this season was filmed in September-October 2008 and when the designers showed at Fashion Week in February 2009, they weren't identified or introduced because the season hadn't even begun to be aired. That would be disappointing, to have a runway show & not even have your name attached to your collection.
Yeah, I heard that too. It will make the final episode a bit weird as well.
- Shannon Jiménez
Can we talk yet??
Victor Ryden liked this
Yes!
- Liz
I was surprised they eliminated the crazy girl over the guy with no dress. She was good at least for entertainment value, while he didn't even make a wearable outfit.
- Shannon Jiménez
I agree, Shannon. It was probably based on the portfolio he & she showed & they saw more potential in his work for future competitions.
- Liz
Is everyone excited?
I'm excited. I only remembered to reprogram the Tivo for Lifetime instead of Bravo a couple days ago. Can't wait!
- Shannon Jiménez
Excited, but not impressed so far. Too much whining!
- Victor Ryden
Is anyone watching The Fashion Show on Bravo? Finals collections coming up.
I haven't been since it just seemed like a cheap stand-in for Runway. Is it worth it? Are the designers any good?
- Shannon Jiménez
The designers are comparable to what you'd see on Project Runway, some are better, IMO. The difference is the judging. They have an audience composed of people who work in fashion in NYC and they vote on the entries to pick the top 2 and bottom 2. Then a panel of 4 (Kelly Rowland, Isaac Mizrahi, Fern Mallis [who organizes Fashion Week] and a guest judge) pick the winning and losing designer.
- Liz
The Guest Judge is really ruining it. American Idol Bitch Judge!

Anyone know when the new season is starting?
According to Lifetime, Thursday, August 20: http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv...

Just saw a Bravo commercial for a PR clone for...makeup design! First clothing design, then food, hair and interior design and now competitive makeup? They should really move on to some other artistic areas. Maybe competitive bookbinding? Computer hacking? Dog grooming? Hedge trimming? Mixtapes?
Dog Grooming has been done by Animal Planet (Groomer Has It). And yes, it is as bad as it sounds.
- Shannon Jiménez
oooohh! I looove makeup...I would watch it.

So, what did you think of X winning Project Runway? I won't post any spoilers but I will say that I thought Kenley's collection was hit or miss, Korto's was colorful & vibrant but had a lot of short dresses and Leanne's was the most cohesive as a collection but her theme became predictable.
And I thought the judges were very kind and more flattering than usual. They either liked these collections more than in past seasons or they are mellowing.
- Liz
Hiding eyes, it's only 7:15 in LA, no details please....
- Victor Ryden
I agree with everything you said, Liz. I was happy that Leanne won, though. In the end I liked hers the best and she has been the most consistent throughout the season.
- Shannon Jiménez
I have to say, Korto's full collection seems really great the more I look at it. Leanne's was pretty, but just really repetitive. I'm surprised she won. Kenley getting judged by Tim was such awesome payback.
- rachel
i cannot believe i watched the last episode and totally stopped paying attention before the end.
- Krista K
How can you judge a fashion collection wearing sunglasses, no wonder he picked those boring clothes with no color, that all looked alike!
- Victor Ryden
Except for Chloe's collection, I think we should be able to predict future winners from now on...whoever has the most consistent, original collection with a variety of kinds of pieces. It doesn't matter whether it is wearable or whether anyone would actually buy it. Creative over commercial.
A singular vision with all of the pieces in the collection fitting together, that seems to be more important than having a collection full of highs & lows. What seems repetitive in design to us seems cohesive to the judges.

“How the HELL can you judge a fashion show wearing sunglasses!! No wonder he picked Leanne, her stuff was all the same and basically colorless!”

Incredible trailer for the new movie Australia, can't wait!
Who do you think will win tomorrow? I'm guessing Kenley. The other two collections seemed kind of one-note, from what we saw of them.
Victor Ryden liked this
I think Lee Ann is going to win but they sure seem to like Kenley, in spite of her behavior and attitude.
- Trish R
I'm thinking Lee Ann as well, but this season it is not as obvious as previous seasons who will win.
- Shannon Jiménez
I'd like Lee Ann to win but am afraid that it might be Kenley. My fiance was showing me their collections (I guess it's online somewhere) and Kenley's did look nice.
- Benjamin Golub
It should have only come down to Lee Ann and Kenley.

I have to say I like Kenley's better.
- Victor Ryden
I like Kenley's better too. What's with the headpiece on the left?
- Shannon Jiménez
soooo.... kenley still hasn't been sent home? theyre "intrigued" by what her show might be like?? she makes ill-fitting garments, uses the same old lady shower curtain fabrics, and has become master of one thing: ironic hipster "quirky" 50's dresses. i have no desire to see her show. bad season
Corie, Steve Isaacs and Shannon Jiménez liked this
I agree, she should have been booted off just for her attitude.
- Trish R
She's stupid for always jumping at the judges with an attitude--the important people in the competition who decide her fate . . . Oh my life was hard...i can't help being defensive because i always had to fight... this isn't easy. really? and totally loved that fabric from last episode!! mmm purple scales
- Krista K
She's got a bad attitude. I can't stand listening to her. "It's not supposed to be elegant Heidi". And she never takes Tim's advice.
- Benjamin Golub
She mellowed out this week and was even nice to everyone, and had good designs.
- Victor Ryden
I can't believe that Kenley is in the Final 3 and Jerrell was cut (even though the final 6 all showed at Bryant Park). I wasn't a Jerrell fan & I like Korto but her dress was the worst. It sucked though giving them that extra, last minute bridesmaid's dress challenge when they all had work to do on their collections. Like they needed the extra...
Victor Ryden liked this
Message cut off! "when they all had work to do on their collections. Like they needed the extra stress!"
- Liz
I knew this would happen last week when they kept Kenley even after she was such a bitch. But her dresses WERE better than Korto's and Jerrell's. I think they kept Korto because they liked her previous stuff more than Jerrell.
- Trish R
Plus, this way I got two out of three of my first-episode finalist predictions right :) I had Kenley, Korto, and Suede... not too bad, though last season I got all three right!
- Shannon Jiménez
Also, I agree with you, Trish. I think they kept Korto on the based on the strength of her previous designs.
- Shannon Jiménez
Korto's dress was shockingly bad. I couldn't wrap my head around what was going on up top - no shape, at all. That said, everything but the middle of Jerrell's dress was a mess. While I agree that Korto's past work influenced their decision, you also saw nothing new or different from Jerrell on the runway. It was another sparkly, overworked outfit. If I was a judge, I wouldn't be compelled to see any more either. I think there's more of a surprise factor with Korto.
- Heather Cee
You have GOT to be kidding me! How could they have kept Kenley??? With that outfit???

Lesser of two evils - she made it by the skin of her teeth. Previews for next week don't look promising...
- Victor Ryden
Kenley is such a one note designer. yawnfest
- Theda
I was surprised she stayed, too, especially after she acted so bitchy to Tim, but I guess they wanted another week of drama. From the previews, looks like she's going to do the same thing to Heidi. It's obvious now who the final 3 will be. They start running away from the others towards the end.
- Trish R
She scraped by by the skin of her sarcastic teeth. I think Suede's continued suckage cumulatively got him in the end, not just for last night.
- Steve Isaacs
Kenley should have gone home. Suede's might have been boring, but at least it fit the genre better than hers. And seriously, Tim Gunn needs to bitch slap her.

@Victor I had him pegged to win it from episode one, like Kotto this season.

I can pick Project Runway and Top Chef winners like there's no tomorrow, but I can't pick The Ultimage Fighter finalists to save my life. Oh, and I (obviously) have schizophrenic taste in TV shows...

I KNOW it's a drag competition, but really? This dude looks like a big, fat, gay florescent pig. Blayne should have been the one to go. Daniel's dress was at least pretty.

No arguments from me. I thought Terri's kabuki get-up should have won.
- Heather Cee
I like it because it suits the Southern Belle drag queen and isn't at all Joe's taste. It took on the challenge, which was in a completely different area that he is used to working in (unlike Terri), and gave the client exactly what she wanted. I agree though that Terri's was the most interesting but Joe's client could go right into a drag show.
- Liz
I liked it. Great "package" hiding.
- Fancy Fembot
Kenley was one of my favorites but she is beginning to really annoy me. She's acting out her insecurities by ridiculing others and that just makes her seem so young & childish. Laughing while they were critiquing Joe was just rude even if his outfit was horrible.
Fancy Fembot and rachel liked this
Agreed. In the first few weeks she was my fave but now I kinda want to smack her. Also, am I the only one who didn't think Suede's outfit was that bad? The way they were talking about it, I felt like I must be looking at the wrong person or something.
- Shannon Jiménez
Seriously when did she become such a brat? Next week it looks like she's going to go too far. No one messes with the GUNN.
- rachel
I think they are also editing Kinley bad.
- Fancy Fembot
He is self-centered and the Kiss of Death, she should not have lost this!
I aree that her outfit wasn't really that bad (don't know why the judges hated it so much), but personality-wise she has always grated on my nerves, so I'm glad she's gone.

She's finally gone!
It's about time :)
- Shannon Jiménez
Liz, I wondered that, too, when she told him he was safe. WTF was that outfit of Blayne's?
- Trish R
Glad that Keith left but it is too bad he didn't learn what the judges were trying to teach him...how to listen to criticism but keep your own vision.
