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."
This Thursday, the long waited sixth season of Project Runway will air on TV. But can the show weave the same magic it once did?
Cuddly former Project Runway contestant Chris March did a photo shoot for a publication called New York Tyrant, and the theme, of course, was "bears." Tell us: Are we alone here? Or does Mr. March look a wee uncomfortable? Click the image at left to see additional pix. [Html Giant]
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…
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…
"Brace yourself for a shock, theatergoers. There's no delicate way of putting this. 'Cry-Baby,' the latest Broadway musical based on a John Waters movie, is... tasteless. Why aren't you shocked? Oh, I see. You thought that I meant the show that opened last night at the Marquis Theater was in bad taste....When I said…
Last night on Project Runway: Home visits! There's something so real about the finalists introducing Tim Gunn to where they live and work, and who they love. (Let's not forget that, during season 1, this episode yielded one of the greatest moments in Project Runway history, when Jay McCarroll met Tim out in his lawn…
Considering how dull the Project Runway cast has been all season, last night's PR reunion special seemed like gift from above. Gunn, Klum, Kors, Garcia, and all the designers gathered together to both laugh and scowl at one another — and of course, revel in "previously unseen" footage. Special moments abounded, like…
This morning, the final quartet of designers from Project Runway season 4 — Christian Siriano, Jillian Lewis, Rami Kashou, and Chris March — dropped by Live with Regis and Kelly for a little chat, as Heidi would say. Sadly, what should have been a light and buoyant interview came across as, well, somewhat…
Last night was one of the weirdest Project Runway episodes ever. It was the last real ep before the reunion special and two-part finale: Ay, so close to the end! As you know, it's down to Rami, Sweet P, Christian, Chris March and Jillian, and Heidi told the designers that once again, they were off on a field trip. But…
Let's hear it for Chris March, the darling teddy bear of Project Runway Season 4. The crowd went wild when he came out this morning and his collection was, well, a little wild! Yak-hair sleeves? Really? There were a few pieces that were very much off the mark, but others were decadent and glamorous, particularly the…
Last night's challenge on Project Runway was the most insane thing ever. And not insane in a "make-a-dress-out-of-corn-husks" sort of way. Nope, reaching a brand new plateau of wacky, this week the designers were introduced to the "divas" of the WWE and asked to design them new wrestling costumes. Initial reaction:…
Last night's challenge on Project Runway saw the designers visiting a warehouse in Brooklyn where they were met by the SVP of design for Levi's. And sadly, just like the first challenge of the season, this challenge involved running (which we all know never fares well for Chris March). To explain: the designers were…
The Greatest Show on Earth really delivered the crazy this week. The challenge? Design an avant-garde look based on the model's hair. Oh, and do it in teams. And by the way? Not one look, but two: The second being a ready-to-wear ensemble that translates an cuckoo avant-garde concoction into something real people…
Last night was by far the best Project Runway of the season: The genius challenge involved each contestant designing a prom dress for a New Jersey Catholic school girl. Unfortunately (or fortunately for viewers) the girls were demanding and didn't always know that they were talking about, and most had an aesthetic…
Last night's Project Runway was full of surprises that weren't exactly surprising. HIV+ Hot Jack came down with a highly contagious staph infection in his face, and ultimately felt it was best for his own health and the health of his Runway colleagues for him to leave the competition and seek medical treatment. So…
