One Day You’re In, The Next Day You’re Out

FILED UNDER: Designers, Inside Scoop, News

On The Cutting Room Floor…

I am always amazed during the audition process how, with all the talented applicants, Tim Gunn and the other judges are able to whittle down the designers each season to a mere 15 or 16 candidates. This year is no exception. I must say that as I watched the runway hopefuls, I was overwhelmed by the amount of talent and creativity each designer had.

Many of the hopefuls including Andres and Mitzi discussed how they knew at a young age they wanted to be designers. Mitzi even explains how she hated dolls, but loved Barbie and Ken and making outfits for them. All of which goes to show that a lot of our early interests play a big part in our career choices. I can still remember playing “job” with my sister where we worked at what I now I believe was a publishing company. I was an author and she was my illustrator. Twenty-two years later, here I am: an editor and a blogger.

It was also amazing to see designers in their home studios and learn about their local clientele. You can definitely see a shift in the more laid back Bohemian vibe of some of the looks from Grant and Judy, Scotha and Beth from San Francisco, to the more dressed up looks of Kristina from Chicago.

Keep these names in your mental Rolodex, because you never know when one of these hopefuls will sew their way to the top! Watch the videos now and decide for yourself whether each hopeful should have been voted in or out!

Back to the Runway

FILED UNDER: Designers, News, Uncategorized

For those of you who wept on your sofa thinking you’d be unable to make it to the fall for the next installment of Project Runway, weep no more. Project Runway Season 5 is back to bring you more snipping, ripping, and sewing! We’ve had our first look at the designers for the new season, and from what we can tell, you won’t be disappointed. Tim isn’t lying each time he praises a new season as being better than the last.

I must admit that I was upset when more seasoned designers (read: designers with their own line or wholesale business) started auditioning for the show. I was in shock when Christian at the tender age of 21 was on the show auditioning to be on PR after undertaking apprenticeships and internships at the likes of celebrated designers like Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. I have since realized that even though some designers have had a taste of success, many have not had success on the level that the show could give them - nor is it likely they could get the kind of training and meet the same caliber contacts that the show offers. Additionally, this kind of experience and talent only means more lust-worthy designs for us to look at with each challenge.

So gear up for this season by reliving all the glory of the Season 4 Final Collections. Carry on!
