Nina Garcia is already a household name beyond the level of most editors not named Wintour, thanks to her appearance as a trusted and discerning Project Runway judge since the show’s inception. Now, she’ll assume a post a celebrity EIC of Elle, after former longtime editor Robbie Myers announced her departure on…
How do I get on this show? I want Nina Garcia to dress me up in her love*! Is it like getting on What Not To Wear? Do I have to send in pictures of me wearing sandwich bags as a bra? Or do I need my coworkers to take photos of me wearing my clothes backwards and inside-out? Like, several of them so it looks like that…
Last night, fashion designers and celebrities convened at the 29th Annual Fashion Group International Night Of Stars. The FGI is a global, non-profit, professional organization with a mission to be the pre-eminent authority on the business of fashion and design. But all we really want to know is: What did everyone wear…
Guess we're not the only ones who've marked our calendars for the GO International Designer Collective Launch. Because the stars, apparently, went wild.
Speaking at the 92Y last night, Project Runway mentor and all-around great human being Tim Gunn said of Season 8, "I had never been part of a season of the show where I found the judges' decision-making to be more...incomprehensible."
Is anyone else ready to quit watching this damn show?
With a name like he 27th Annual Night of Stars, the event, at Cipriani, Wall Street, had better deliver. And, with Leighton Meester, Kate Bosworth, Jennifer Connelly and Jane Seymour there, it did. The clothes, now, well...were Halloween-appropriate.
Last night, Tim Gunn visited the four remaining designers at their homes in Hawaii, Denver, Portland and Palm Springs, and checked up on the collections they'd been designing.
Guys, I am out of the "office" today, but OMG, Ivy! WTF. Feel free to discuss her, the Heidi/Mondo showcase showdown and Gretchen's bike shorts in this open thread.
Well. That whole "cheater" teaser was such a manipulative misdirection. The producers are jerks! But last night's episode was one of the most stunning, ever.
In this teaser for Thursday's episode, Tim Gunn says, ominously, "There is an accusation about cheating." Then: A quick snippet of Mondo, teary eyed. Are the producers misdirecting and manipulating us?
OMG! Couture! And ready-to-wear inspired by couture! Let's jump right into the highlights and lowlights from the runway.
On a conference call just now, I mentioned the Essence/white fashion editor controversy, and asked Nina Garcia if there's enough diversity among fashion editors. Basically? She said yes. She did add that there's always room for improvement, however.
The challenge: To use Jackie Kennedy as inspiration and create "classic American sportswear." But what's considered "classic," or "American" or "sportswear" varied wildly amongst the designers!
The challenge: To create a resort wear ensemble. And have your teammate execute (as in, sew) your design, as you act as a seamstress for them. What counts as "resort"? Funny you should ask!
Last night's episode involved taking hideous polyester bridesmaid dresses and turning them into something wearable. Results were mixed between "Snooki & The Flintstones" and "secretary from 1987."
Last night's episode was one of the most dramatic so far this season, with an epic diva meltdown, tears, anger, betrayal, backstabbing and one very miffed Tim Gunn.
