    The Greatest Show On Earth Returns

    ''We have a challenge, the outcome of which will have the blogs going crazy!'' says Tim Gunn. ''I'm surprised I didn't need CPR when it all came down the runway, because I'm still in such a state of shock about it.'' More inside Season 6 of Project Runway here! [EW]

    Sole Man

    Great news: Project Runway winner Christian Siriano will design shoes and handbags for Payless. "I'm all about the runway and the sidewalks!" Siriano says. "I've already been working with the Payless Design Team in New York, and I can’t wait to see how they will take the high-end shoes and bags I’m designing for the runway and turn them into pieces that everyone can buy." The collection will be unveiled during Fashion Week in February, and hit stores in fall 2009, priced from $25-$45. Caviar style on a fishstick budget! [Sassybella]

    Imagine: A Project Runway Inauguration Dress For Michelle Obama

    The Daily Beast issued a challenge to former Project Runway designers: Design an inauguration gown for the First Lady. (At the time, Obama's win was not confirmed.) And! As with all ProjRun challenges, there was a twist: The designers could only use Laura Bush’s 2005 Inaugural Ball dress, an American flag, burlap potato sacks and $10 worth of trims of their choice. The resulting sketches? A mixed bag: Partly hideous, partly hilarious and partly high fashion. But we poked around the designer's websites and found dresses from their collections that Ms. Obama might actually wear. The sketches and our choices, after the jump. More »

    Is Bravo working on a Project Runway ripoff? They've posted a casting call on Craigslist which reads: "Do you think you have what it takes to be the world’s next hot fashion designer? We are looking for designers to be part of Bravo's next fashion design series! We’re currently accepting applications from talented designers where the winner will win a large cash prize." Ah, well, fashion is about knock offs. But the cheaply made ones usually fall apart. [Perez Hilton]

    The Project Runway mess just got messier: On Friday, Lifetime got involved; the network wants the lawsuit moved from state to federal court. This means that the air date for Season 6 will probably be pushed back. Again. Despite the fact that filming has just wrapped. Right now is the time when the finalists go home to work on collections; if the show's not ready for Fashion Week in September, they might have to wait until February 2010. What a nightmare. [NY Mag]

    The Ladies of Project Runway: Where Are They Now?

    Maybe you're curious what the contestants from Season Five are up to, now that Project Runway is over? Winner and self-described "fashion dork" Leanne Marshall spoke to the LA Times and Entertainment Weekly; and EW also interviewed Korto and Kenley. So, Leanne: She won $100,000 which she says, "All has to go to the clothing line!" She muses: "Maybe I'll go and buy some crazy expensive fabrics that normally I can't go near. That's kind of my version of buying a fancy pair of shoes. It will be fun to feel like I can buy whatever I want in a fabric store." As for Ms. Kenley Collins, you're gonna love this: She's a teacher. More »

    Project Runway: And The Winner Is…

    Last night's episode of Project Runway wasn't just the season finale. It was the end of an era. With the show (maybe) moving to Lifetime, an association with Marie Claire instead of Elle and a move to L.A., it will never be the same. It was interesting that there were three ladies as finalists, since there's only been one female winner in the previous four seasons: Chloe Dao. Most of the episode was actually rather dull: Model castings, dog poop, hair, makeup. Then the runway shows, which Bravo peppered with fake applause: Trust me, no one was clapping during each show, for any particular garment. And if you watched carefully, you could hear applause but see the crowd just sitting. In any case, the judges — Michael, Nina, Heidi and J. Lo-replacement Tim — had high praise for all three remaining designers. Clip above; collections after the jump. More »

    Will Project Runway make it to Lifetime in January, in time for Fashion Week in February? We still don't know! And, in a dramatic twist of events, we may find out on the same day as the Season 5 finale: October 15. That's when the court is supposed to make a decision. Stay tuned! Oh, also, Lifetime claims it is "well-positioned for growth" even if PR falls through. Which means they're freaking out. [MediaWeek]

    Project Runway: And Then There Were Three

    On last night's episode of Project Runway the contestants had $8,000 and 2 months to create a collection — and a wedding dress to represent that collection, which the judges used to decide who went to Bryant Park. Tim Gunn visited each designer: Korto in Little Rock, AR, where she treated him to some drumming; Leanne in Portland, where they went riding on a bicycle built for two; Jerell in L.A., where he talked about growing up in South Central; and Kenley in Brooklyn (she cried). Anyway, when the gang got back to NYC, there was still a three-against-one feeling, but it defrosted a little when Kenley poured booze for everyone. The designers were given a last-minute challenge: To design a bridesmaid dress to accompany the wedding dress. Results were mixed, though Kenley actually redeemed herself. She went from being snippy with Heidi Klum to telling her, "I love you!" Clip above; dresses after the jump. More »

    Project Runway's Kenley Cries On Regis & Kelly; Gets Group Hug

    The final four contestants from Project Runway appeared on Live With Regis & Kelly this morning, and when producers showed clips of Kenley crying, she, well, cried. Korto tried to soothe her with a little side-hug, but Kelly suggested that all the contestants get a group hug from Regis. Regis (who is clearly not a fan, since during the show he called Jerell "Gerald") did not look thrilled. The designers hugged him anyway! Clip above.

    Project Runway: The One Where Everybody Cries

    The challenge for the final four designers on last night's episode of Project Runway was to design an evening gown inspired by nature. There was a field trip to the New York Botanical Garden, and the contestants took pictures of flora. Then the tears started to flow! Kenley cried while talking about growing up on a tugboat, and also, no one would give her any tulle. Leanne cried because she's wanted to show at NY Fashion Week since she was 12, and because she had a lot of work to do. Jerell cried because he was living all alone in an empty apartment in the sky. (He also cried while ironing.) Korto cried because she is married, with a kid, and this is her big chance! On the runway, everyone's dresses were crappy, but the big drama occurred when Heidi Klum asked each contestant why he or she should go to Fashion Week, and which other designers should go. Jerell spoke first, and Kenley totally interrupted him while he was talking. Clip above; hideous dresses after the jump. More »

    Project Runway: Suede's Disaster & Joe's Becky Home Ecky

    The "makeover" challenge on last night's episode of Project Runway involved creating a look for recent college graduates entering the workforce. The young ladies showed up in the workroom with their mothers, which was supposed to bring some mama drama, but, as always, the true tension came from the designers themselves. Kenley talked shit about Suede, declaring his design aesthetic "horrible." Jerell also had nasty things to say about Suede, calling him "so 1992." But things really got ugly when the judges turned on the designs Suede and Joe had created. Guest judge Cynthia Rowley called Suede's garment a "disaster," and Michael Kors proclaimed Joe's pinstriped skirt suit was "full Becky Home Ecky."

    Project Runway Fashion Show: Leanne

    Twenty-seven year-old Leanne hails from Yuba City, California, although she was born and raised in Portland. She's a graduate of FIDM in San Francisco and calls her line "Leanimal." When she walked out onto the runway this morning at Bryant Park, it was clear that the crowd loved her: She received a warm round of applause; and people were clapping as her garments came down the catwalk, as well. Her collection — almost entirely in blue and cream — is really in a different league. It's structured, yet ethereal; dreamy, but defined; whimsical yet wearable. She toys with ideas and shapes and repeats themes but twists them so that each piece is completely different, fresh and new. And, in a word: Gorgeous. You know you want to see for yourself! The show starts after the jump. More »

This morning when she presented her collection at Bryant Park, she said she was inspired by nature, and there certainly were a lot of green dresses on the runway. But Korto's genius is in the details, and while you may not be able to tell in the pictures, she folded, pleated and twisted her rich fabrics in interesting ways to create a series of hot, tropical looks.

    Twenty-five year-old Kenley from Pompano Beach, Florida is the daughter of a tugboat captain and the youngest of three girls. This morning when presenting her collection at Bryant Park, Kenley said she was inspired by Alice In Wonderland and had designed her "dream wardrobe." She played with ruffles, feathers, color and volume — showing skirts both full and sleek. Quirky party dresses for girls who like to play dress-up! Judge for yourself: The show starts after the jump.

    Project Runway Fashion Show: Joe

    Hailing from Detroit, Michigan and being the show's only straight guy, Joe has actually worked at Bugle Boy and Ralph Lauren. His collection is inspired by "Americana," which means bustiers and skirts in denim and leather, with turquoise belts. Kind of like Ralph Lauren or Tommy Hilfiger 16 years ago. Even if his pieces were not terribly innovative, they were quite wearable. The leather bustiers had interesting details. There is a woman who's the perfect audience for some of this stuff, and her name is Jessica Simpson. But that's just my opinion: Judge for yourself. The show starts after the jump! More »

    Project Runway Fashion Show: Suede

    On the Bravo site, Suede claims his "fashion must" is a "great hoodie." This "edgy" and "alternative" designer from Seven Hills, Ohio presented a collection at Bryant Park this morning that was pretty much just like cotton candy: Sugary, pink and tacky. Some of the ideas — like kicky little car wash skirts or frothy tulle party dresses — were fun, in theory, but none of it seemed to fit or flatter. Judge for yourself: The show starts after the jump.

He is a former model from Houston, Texas, and his collection was sequin-heavy, with layers of sheer tulle.

    Project Runway: A One-Legged Monster & A Voodoo Princess In Hell

    I'll be the first to admit I was drunk when watching last night's episode of Project Runway. Blame Anna. But you didn't have to be under the influence to feel like you were tripping out of your mind: The show was straight up Crazytown. The "special guests" were eliminated designers from earlier in the season. I'd totally forgotten about that Asian guy! And the challenge was for the contestants to work with their former rivals, in teams of two, on an avant garde look based on one team member's astrological sign. It only got trippier when the designers had to take their ensembles to a party at the planetarium. In any case, the judging after the runway show was a big ol' mess, with two designers getting eliminated. Michael Kors hated Blayne's "Libra" outfit in which his model was "pooping fabric." And Kors really hated Terri's dress, which he dubbed "Voodoo Princess In Hell." Even the model wearing the garment was offended by that. Clip above; all of the outfits from the runway after the jump.

    Project Runway: Kenley Sobs, Then Declares: "I Pretty Much Nailed It!"

    The challenge on last night's episode of Project Runway was to create something for fashion legend Diane von Furstenberg. Of course, challenges are never easy or product placement-free, so Marlene Dietrich's 1948 film A Foreign Affair was involved. (The winning ensemble will be sold exclusively to American Express cardholders, since AmEx sponsors ProjRun. Didn't you catch the two AmEx commercials — featuring Diane von Furstenberg — and the same fabric Korto used on her dress — during the show?) Anyway. There were two themes in this episode, one of which was picking on Terri. Blayne said something about how he wasn't going to design "another pair of pants like somebody else does." Then he wiggled his eyebrows. Joe called Terri a "One-trick pony." Theme two involved Kenley's delicate psyche. She spent most of the challenge crying, only to act completely self-inflated and argumentative on the runway. Clip above; all of the ensembles after the jump. More »

    Project Runway: Gay Mormon Meltdown

    Last night's Project Runway started on a high-larious note, when Kenley said she was sad that Daniel was gone because he was her "best friend." Honey, you laughed him off the runway! On to the challenge: Cars, aka product placement HELL. Fat little Saturn hybrids were stuffed with car parts and the designers had to create "innovative" garments from carburetors and seat belts. Raise your hand if you'd rather just sit through additional commercials. This crap has zero effect on my vehicular buying habits, marketing people. Zero! Anyway, I laughed when Terri was like, "I don't have a blow torch." I also laughed when Jerrell said of Terri: "She has 2 faces and 4 patterns. Don't trust the bitch." But the high(low)light of the episode was when Keith The Gay Mormon had a total meltdown. It started in the sewing room; he got agitated at a machine. Then he snapped at a model. Then, during the runway critique, it all came crashing down. Clip above, and all the ensembles from the runway, after the jump. More »

    Project Runway: Hiding Your Candy Is Such A Drag

    Last night's episode of Project Runway featured special guest star former contestant Chris March dressed like a disco Valkyrie. The challenge: To design a look for a drag queen. And the larger than life personalities took over! Annida Greenkard! Hedda Lettuce! Sherry Vine! The contestants had a $200 budget, and the ensembles were to raise money for Broadway Cares AIDS charity. Token straight guy Joe seemed flummoxed by his client, Varla Jean Merman, especially when she took off her bangs right in front of him. But he ended up turning out a dragtastic candy-pink sailor number that the judges loved, and special guest judge RuPaul found perfect for "hiding the candy."

    Project Runway: Slutty, Slutty, Slutty!

    Last night's episode of Project Runway featured special guest star Brooke Shields, who was forced to pimp Lipstick Jungle, a TV show brought to you by NBC Universal, the company that happens to own Bravo. Synergy! The challenge was to design an ensemble for Brooke's character, Wendy, to wear from day to night. The contestants were given dossiers on Wendy because, you know, no one actually watches the damn show. (Last season they had Sarah Jessica Parker, an actual, you know, style icon. Poor Brooke Shields just felt like forced product placement.) To add drama, the designers had to pitch their ideas to Brooke; she chose six ideas and then the contestants had to work in teams. Terri told Suede to "man up." Korto told Joe there was a bus coming. Tim Gunn said, "Some of you are still sewing, question mark?" The best part had to be when the judges were discussing Daniel and Kelli's black, leopard and teal three-piece ensemble, which caused Michael Kors to quip "Slutty, slutty, slutty," and Kenley to dissolve into a fit of giggles.

    Project Runway: Olympic Looks Are Meshuggener

    Last night's episode of Project Runway featured special guest hottie Apolo Ohno, and the challenge involved creating a look for the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Apparently, the Olympics mean different things to different people: Skorts, cocktail dresses, wide-legged pants, and, of course, leather. Jerrell's outfit featured a high-waisted skirt, blouse with jabot and a dotty sun hat. It made Nina Garcia throw up her hands and say, "I'm puzzled. I don't know what to say." Michael Kors giggled before saying, "In Yiddish, the word is 'meshuggener'. I mean, it's out there." Check out the clip, above, and then all of the ensembles from the runway, after the jump. More »

    Project Runway: The Worst Review Is No Review

    Last night's episode of Project Runway had another rehash of an old conceit: The contestants were let loose in New York with digital cameras and asked to design an outfit inspired by the city. Oh, it was slightly different from the other time they did this because this was the city at night. Keith The Gay Mormon liked a scrap of magazine on the ground, Kenley photographed a tile mural, Terri shot some stickerfitti. In the workroom, there was a terrible moment in which Blayne taught Tim Gunn to say "Holla atcha boy," which was dumb, offensive, irritating, unfunny and distracting, so let's pretend it never happened, mmkay? The best part was the runway show, because special guest Sandra Bernhard was revealed! In the clip above, you'll see Nina Garcia deem Keith The Gay Mormon's dress "sloppy" and Sandra proclaim that Terri's garment is that of a woman "who's walking down a dark street, and if somebody is on her tail, she'll turn and say, 'I have a knife and I will cut you up.'"

    Project Runway: Team Ugly Brown Dress Vs. Leatherface

    Sound snippets from last night's Project Runway: Suede loves talking about Suede in the third person. Stella is "urban." Korta is "paranoid." No one likes "team ugly brown fabric." Natalie Portman is "so tiny I could carry her around on my hand." But the best sound bite of all was uttered by Blayne in response to Stella's unapologetic love of leather: "I love you, leatherface." (Clip at left.) Moving on: The challenge, designing a cocktail dress for a model who has picked out her own (green/organic) fabric, sounds simple enough. And yet! The wacky designers came up with some crazy shit. View all of the dresses, after the jump. More »

    Tim Gunn To Project Runway Newbies: "You Guys Are A Bunch Of Slackers!"

    Last night's premiere of Project Runway was déja vu all over again: The contestants headed to Gristede's supermarket for the first challenge. Just like Season 1! It was a giddy thrill to see first-season fop Austin Scarlett flit onto the scene and lisp his way through an explanation of the task: To create an ensemble with things purchased at the grocery store. Each designer had $75 and half an hour, and many headed right for the tablecloths. In fact, there were so many tablecloths in the workroom that Tim Gunn had to holler at the contestants and straighten those suckers out (clip above). The first episode also serves as an introduction to all of the designers, and a few "personalities" stand out: More »

    Last night on Ugly Betty, former Elle fashion director Nina Garcia and Project Runway winner Christian Siriano visited the offices of Mode magazine so that Christian could preview his wares for its editorial team. Interestingly, the episode featured four utterances of Christian Siriano's full name (considering the show is only about 40 minutes without commercials, that averages to once every ten minutes), two uses of the word "fierce," one of "ferosh," and one of "hot tranny mess" — directed at Rebecca Romijn's character, who, of course, is an actual transsexual.

  • the greatest show on earth?

    Entertainment Weekly is reporting "exclusively" that "two well-placed sources" have informed the magazine that The Greatest Show On Earth (i.e. Project Runway) the show will leave New York for Los Angeles in its sixth season. Honestly, could Lifetime do anything else to fuck this show up? Actually, yes! Replace Tim Gunn with Rachel Zoe. [Entertainment Weekly]

    Nina Garcia Glares At Mention Of Affair On Ugly Betty

    This week on Ugly Betty, the staffers at the fictitious Mode magazine get a little visit from Nina Garcia and this season's Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano. The whole thing is, of course, a little awkward since 1) Nina has since been fired from Elle, 2) Christian Siriano seems to be mocking his own garments and 3) Nina looks shocked and downright offended when Gabrielle Union's character, currently dating Mode editor-in-chief Daniel Meade, appears during the middle of the run-through and accuses Daniel of cheating on her with a bunch of whores (aka - models). Um, has Nina really never heard of a fashion magazine editor having an affair before? Clip of the leaked scene, above.

    Lifetime's Latest Sobfest: The Death Of Project Runway

    Imagine being on a cruise ship for a week, cut off from the outside world, then returning to be hit with the horrific news: Project Runway, The Greatest Show on Earth, has been sold to Lifetime by The Weinstein Company. Well, that was exactly what I experienced upon returning from vacation yesterday and reading that, as the NY Times reports, Heidi Klum explained away the switch by saying, "Fashion is about change and Project Runway moving to Lifetime is an awesome change." True, the show will most likely be felled by the lawsuit against Weinstein filed by NBC Universal (Bravo's parent company) for breach of contract, ensuring that the program never airs anywhere ever again — but if the show survives, it is destined to suffer a fate even worse: Being sandwiched between an encore performance of the made-for-TV movie Not Without My Daughter and a marathon of The Nanny.
