Season Five of Project Runway begins tonight. We’ll be re-dressing our header shortly, in anticipation of a season full of challenges, cattiness and new catch-phrases, as well as the real reason we all tune in: to see just how orange Michael Kors is in any given week. (We’re thinking of posting a scale of some sort.)

In the meantime, here’s a video from BravoTV about Fashion Faux Pas. Do you agree with these picks? What would you add to the list?

Enjoy their snark! I do.

I do have some comments on the art challenge. As soon as I saw Rami’s inspiration, I knew they were going to say “boring” and “safe”. But of all of them, his are the clothes I would wear. It’s so true. And while Christian does stunning work (or in his words “fierce”), I wouldn’t wear that. But it isn’t all about me…well…

I was sad to see Sweet Pea go only because she was my choice for a winner from the beginning. I’m shocked about the fact that Jillian is still in because she really didn’t hit my radar until the food challenge. I will be very interested to see who, between Chris and Rami, will be presenting at fashion week.

This cast has gotten along so well, it’s a little eerie. Do you think it’s because they are all a little more experienced? But then again, the most experienced people can still be bitches. I’m not surprised to see Christian as the fan favorite because I think he’s accessible (his personality if not his design). His attitude doesn’t bother me (no surprise, right?).

So, my prediction is that Christian will win the show. I think his point of view and execution is fresh and interesting, and perhaps most importantly, he works so quickly that even if they throw a monkey wrench in (hello, create a 13th look?), he’ll have the best chance of actually finishing and sending something completed down the runway without panic.

I’ll be good about the last few episodes, cross my heart.

Let me say that I knew going into this who won and who lost. That made me very unexcited to watch this. Forgive me if that comes across in the review.

EPISODE 9: EVEN DESIGNERS GET THE BLUES
(more…)

The curtain opens on week nine, and the usual morning at the New Gotham.

And so, after several minutes of watching Victorya refer to Sweet P as Kit (I miss Kit), the crew is taken on a field trip to a warehouse full of Levi’s and white cotton. They are to create an iconic denim look.But first, we have a foot race? So, they run, they grab jeans, and they get back to the workroom, and have notions from Levi as well. Predictably, there is no budget, and minimal time. Yay, jeans.
