Citing the "stupid hot" weather of his hometown, Baton Rouge, he put his sheer fabrics and short hemlines into perspective. (He's a self-proclaimed "bin digger" at thrift stores.) And his way with words is as colorful as his creations. The color-blind cancer survivor has a special knack for cool-girl separates with a vintage feel. Hard as it is to imagine, a coat she made from a bed comforter is as chic as any quilted puffer I've ever seen. A little rough around the edges - in that scrappy kid-sister way - but I'm sold on her incredible eye for styling and range of Navajo prints. Really, Roberto, flip-flops?! That's not exactly putting your best foot forward. My only complaint: Valentín's choice of footwear. The guy looks like he's straight out of Mayberry, but his designs are ready for Rodeo Drive. It's a complete contrast to his highbrow Spanish Crusades - inspired collection. My fellow judges Seth Aaron Henderson and Brian Bolke, owner of Dallas' premier designer boutique Forty Five Ten, and I are immediately struck by Valentín's down-home Southern charm. While Dallas isn't exactly considered a fashion capital, there are some real gems at the Lone Star state's auditions. But fair warning to season nine's designers: Watch your backs! Whether or not she made the final cut, I'm not sure.
When I ask her what kind of competitor she is, she firmly states, "I will do anything to anyone to win this competition," before storming out of the room, muttering curse words under her breath. What really blows me away, though, is her attitude. The feisty 34-year-old from Woodside, New York, has a solid collection of everyday clothes for working women. Busted.Īll is forgotten when Cecilia Motwani walks in the door. When we point it out, he begins stammering and blushing. In New York Gregory Taylor presents an adorable triple-collar button-down shirt to the judges panel (Seth Aaron Henderson, PR season three alum Laura Bennett, and me), but on closer inspection, it has a "dry clean only" tag on it that's obviously from a manufacturer. Nothing irks me more than when a contestant brings clothes that he or she didn't actually design - and it happens a lot. But hey, at least those designs have some originality. At this point, I feel like I've seen it all - from bras with bunny ears to skirts made of little more than Scotch tape. The host, known best for his Runway catchphrase, “Make it work,” was still teaching at New York’s Parsons School of Design when he made his television debut.This is my third season casting Project Runway. In fact, without the show, Gunn might still be the world’s best-dressed academic.
RUPAUL PROJECT RUNWAY SERIES
There would be no shoppable Amazon series Making the Cut, starring original Runway hosts Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn. There would be no raft of other spin-offs and rip-offs themed around every conceivable art form, from RuPau l ’s Drag Race to the Netflix glass-blowing contest Blown Away. Without Runway, there would be no Top Chef (with which it shares a production company, Magical Elves). that Drag Race effectively parodies and explicitly queers Project Runway which. Project Runway may never have earned the same blockbuster ratings as broadcast contemporaries like The Bachelor, but when it debuted in 2004, the fashion-design contest set the template for creative competition series on Bravo and beyond. Premiering in February 2009, RuPaul's Drag Race quickly became Logo TV's.
