Project Runway Carries On Without a Home

As they say, the (fashion) show must go on.
Even though Lifetime and Bravo are still fighting over Project Runway’s future, production on the reality program has been going on as planned. For attendees of New York’s Fashion Week, that meant viewing collections from a bunch of unknown designers. Literally unknown.
At today’s Bryant Park taping, Season 6’s final three contestants got the opportunity to see their clothes on the runway. Unfortunately, unlike in seasons past, the designers weren’t allowed a chance to speak. Nor did anyone know whose creations they were. In an attempt to keep the outcome a surprise, the collections were presented to the audience blindly.

Jennifer Lopez Cancels on Project Runway Judging
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, News,
As they say, the show must go on.
The producers of Project Runway had planned to introduce another surprise judge for this season’s upcoming. And thanks to an interesting twist of fate, they now will.
As rumored, fashionista Jennifer Lopez had been scheduled to play guest judge for the show’s Fashion Week finale. (Her appearance would have followed the job done by Victoria Beckham in Season 4.) Unfortunately, a last-minute foot injury forced the style icon to bow out of today’s taping.
It’s not known whether the injury was somehow related to Lopez’ current triathlon training. It also wasn’t made clear why Jennifer couldn’t still judge while sitting down.
Fortunately for the producers, they didn’t have to go far to find a knowledgeable replacement. For the first time in five installments, mentor Tim Gunn will be given his chance to have a say in the final selection.
Now, really—wasn’t this the way it should have been anyway?

Christian Siriano Wins Project Runway Season 4
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Editorial, News,
Christian Siriano is officially kind of a big deal tonight. The 21-year-old freelance fashion designer accomplished two major goals: his collection won Project Runway: Season 4 and he made guest judge Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham smile. In fact, the usually enigmatic pop star told Siriano she’d love to wear anything he designed.
It is no secret that Season 4 of Project Runway lacked the drama and suspense of past years. There was no big twist in the final show either- no extra “look” to cobble together in the 11th hour, no scandals involving outside sewing help and no shouting matches between fellow designers. But what the show lacked in reality TV drama it more than made up for in sophistication and style. Each of the three remaining designers offered something new and fresh to the usually jaded fashion world.

Project Runway Season 4: Chris March Eliminated By A Hair, Literally
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Editorial, News,
An innovative use of safety pins and hair, yes human hair, just weren’t enough to land San Francisco costume designer Chris March the third and final spot in the Project Runway: Season 4 final runway show.
The 44-year-old March was up against 31-year-old Los Angeles designer Rami Kashou in a sort of semi-final walk-off before the last official runway show, the big one at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City’s Bryant Park. Freelance fashion wunderkind Christian Soriano and Ralph Lauren illustrator Jillian Lewis already secured their spots during the “Art to Fashion” challenge in episode 11.
Tonight’s episode began with a rundown of the final challenge and a reminder of what’s at stake if they win. The final challenge had the designers creating a 12-piece collection. They got $8000 for materials and 5 months to complete their garments. The winner of Project Runway: Season 4 gets a coveted spread in Elle magazine, $100,000, a Saturn Astra and a chance to sell their line on Bluefly.com.

Project Runway Season 4 Reunion: Christian Named Fan Favorite
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Editorial,
Apparently it pays to remind people over and over that ‘you’re fierce and kind of a big deal’. That strategy netted Project Runway:Season 4 contestant Christian Siriano a cool $10,000. Siriano was voted this season’s “Fan Favorite” by a landslide. The results were unveiled during tonight’s Project Runway: Season 4 reunion show.
This season of the show featured some incredibly talented and professional designers. While it didn’t have the same sexy mix of volatile characters (see Wendy Pepper in season 1 or Santino Rice in season 2), the clothes themselves were fascinating as was watching the process that these talented designers used to come up with them. Not surprisingly, some of the designers have become role models for young children and even favorites of celebrities. Kit talked about how young girls are emailing her scans of their designs to ask for advice. She says she loves being a positive influence. Lovable kook Elisa also said she loves the message she seems to be sending young girls that it is okay to be different. Sweet P, who was eliminated in the last episode, said she’s heard from celebrities like Jack Black and Catherine Keener that she was their favorite on the show.

Project Runway Season 4: Sweet P Says Goodbye
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Editorial, Features,
There was a major twist on last night’s Project Runway Season 4 on Bravo. The last runway show before the remaining designers compete at New York Fashion Week produced two clear finalists: Christian Siriano and Jillian Lewis. The third finalist is still undecided.
The judges were deadlocked over whether to go with Chris March or Rami Kashou, so they decided to let both designers create their final collections for Fashion Week. Right before the actual runway show (which, of course, has already happened), the judges will rate Chris and Rami’s three strongest pieces to decide which designer is the official, third finalist.
Unfortunately, this episode was the last hurrah for Kathleen “Sweet P” Vaughn.
