I love that long black peplumed 40's looking thing.
A lot of schmattas, though.

So happy this started right away after the allstars season.

Patricia is so intriguing. Can't wait to see what she does.

I love Cindy's story and hope she stays to show us what she may be capable of. Cindy may be at Project Runway too early, but that is one of the reasons why I am excited by her. At 59, she has experienced life's fashions for decades, and to now just start to CREATE fashion is exciting to observe.

Zac Posen is BEAUTIFUL. He replaced Kors this season, right?

I forgot it was on. Gee- I wonder if they will repeat the show?

Repeat comes on at midnight or before next weeks episode.

This is definitely an interesting concept for Project Runway. I quiet like it. Emily totally fell apart tonight. It was so miserable that I couldn't even be snide, I just felt bad for her. The judges seem especially biting with their criticisms this season.

the guy who won tonight made an exquisite garment. Just gorgeous.

Wasn't it? Absolutely stunning.

I was being sarcastic because I know they will re-run the show about ten times- at least!

I'm a fan...going way back to season one.

I like how they are approaching this whole "team" concept this year. The idea that IN the real world no one works in a bubble -- but it will be interesting who begins to try to manipulate their "teammates" to the point of sabatoge. As well as seeing who can sift the right from the misplaced "advice".


SO nice to see three contestants that are more mature (I think it was three)-- and that all of them survived the first elimination.

I'm probably the only one who loved Cindy's dress. It was actually one of my favorites. I liked the idea of Patricia's dress, but it looked so unfinished. Especially the sleeves and neckline.

As soon as Emily started hot gluing that sheer netting, you knew it was over for her. Had she even scrapped everything and made a tube dress, she might have stayed. That was probably the biggest disaster the show has ever seen. I felt so sorry for that model.

I loved when one of the judges asked Emily if the top had a zipper, and before the model even had a chance to turn around, they all shouted in unison, "NO" and when the model turned around, you saw that Emily tied the ends of the top in a knot, like the back of a bikini. SHAME SHAME! lol

Mmmm Zac Posen!

I loved Project Runway at the beginning and watched religiously for several seasons. It was the only "reality" show I found watchable--along with 'Next top Model' and 'Ru Paul's Drag Race'. (Heidi, Tyra and Ru--I like my women to be manly, I guess...)

I was living in London Terrace then, and Tim Gunn moved into my building! Once I figured out his schedule I was on that elevator every morning--even if I had to let a couple of cars go on without me. 'Make it work', indeed...

I lost the thread of the show though. Wasn't there a whole thing about Harvey & Bob W. firing everybody and taking it to some other network?

What network is it on now? Who is the host? Is Tim Gunn still on? Still adorable?

Zac Posen is replacing Kors for now, but Kors said he'll be back for the finale.

I was already blitzed by nine, so I missed the whole thing.

[Jane2]

Posted: 1/25/13 at 1:53pm

Addison, it's on Lifetime now, and thankfully they haven't changed a thing. Tim Gunn and Heidi are still there. They replaced M. Kors with Zac Posen, who's much cuter!

[Addison D.]

Cuter and not busy dressing the FLOTUS.

Do you think Project Runway made Kors a star? I'd never heard of him until Runway, and he seemed to explode afterwards.

Thanks, Jane; I'm going to program my TiVo now...

I think the show tremendously helped his success but he was beyond successful before the show. Isn't he THE most successful American born designer?

[Jungle Red]

Posted: 1/25/13 at 3:43pm

That's what Heidi says.

[Visceral_Fella]

Posted: 1/25/13 at 4:52pm

Jane2, I remember that part about the zipper. I cracked up, especially at Nina's comments.

I must say that I miss Georgina Chapman. The judges from the All Stars Season really grew on me, especially her though.

Glad that I can discuss this with other people. No one I know watches it. I love this show, I too started at season 1 and then trailed off, but I'm back now.

Those into designer stuff always knew who he was...now he's a household name.

I find his stuff to be a little on the "old" side -- I don't think I've ever seen anything of his I 1) like or 2) could afford!

[ucjrdude902]

Posted: 1/25/13 at 4:57pm

I think his watches are gorgeous and well priced.
