Project Runway

austin has that look in his eyes...
anyone know what i'm talking about???...the crazy eyes?!?!?!....

he's just crazy enough to be a huge star in this business...LOL...
but i think it will be in designer fashion...not mainstream USA...
 
Wtf? I mean seriously, wtf?

Wendy looks like Micheal Douglas in Falling Down, like she is going to snap at any moment and shoot somebody's head off. Or something.

And her designs are ugly.:sick:
 
Hello, I had to delurk because of this show. I am so furious about tonight's episode. I am disgusted beyond words. Did anyone notice Austin trying to push Wendy the Witch away when she hugged him? The other 2 finalists are to quote Jay "grossed out" and I agree. I cannot wait until next week when all of the contestants get the opportunity to confront eachother. Should be interesting to say the least. I sense some:angry:
 
I can't wait to find out who drew the 'tache on the photo of Wendy's daughter.

Also, lest anyone forget, tonight's ep showed yet again that Robert is a class act.
 
The only reason why Wendy won was because Nancy chose her dress...Otherwise, Austin would've won the challenge. Her work hasn't been consistent, and while his stuff is costumey, it beats Wendy's designs hands down.

NEW YORK - Designers going thread to thread, women in red (including first lady Laura Bush) and a uniform overhaul grabbed the spotlights Friday as Olympus Fashion Week kicked off. More than 70 designers and major companies will preview clothes and beauty products for fall and winter during this biannual event. Most shows are in an elaborate tent structure in New York's Bryant Park. And I'll be here to bring it all home to you.

Never assume

Going into the "Project Runway" fashion show Friday morning, I was sure that designer Kara Saun had the win sewn up because of her consistently striking work and steady demeanor.But now I'm hedging my bet.

Saun and the other finalists had to create collections as the last challenge of Bravo's critically acclaimed reality show, hosted by model Heidi Klum. The finale airs at 9 p.m. Feb. 23 on Channel 37 on Time Warner Cable Charlotte.

The audience saw work by Saun, Jay McCarroll, Austin Scarlett and Wendy Pepper. Next week, it will be down to the final three, out of 12 originally. My guess, based on his less-than-usually-glam appearance, is that Scarlett gets the boot Wednesday.

Charlotte attorney/designer Starr Ilzhoefer and other former contestants also were betting on Saun. They sat on the front row next to the judges: Klum, designer Michael Kors, Elle fashion director Nina Garcia and actress Parker Posey, who was wearing huge Jackie O shades. (I scored a front row across from them.)

The winner receives $100,000 to launch a line, a mentorship with Banana Republic and a photo shoot for Elle magazine.

Each designer spoke briefly before the models came out. Saun talked about wanting to create clothing that would make a woman so sexy that it would suck air out of the room. Scarlett babbled about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Pepper pointed out that she's a mom from Virginia. And McCarroll said he preferred to let the clothing speak for itself.

Saun drew inspiration from "The Aviator," the Oscar-nominated Howard Hughes biopic, for retro yet futuristic dresses and suits in what she called her "Fantasy Fly-Girl" collection. The exquisite clothes were red-carpet sexy but not something I could see real folks wearing.

It looked like Saun's game until models hit the runway in McCarroll's funky, wearable and beautifully detailed "Stereotype" collection.

While McCarroll rocked and Saun soared, Pepper and Scarlett's efforts drew puzzled reactions. "What the heck?" exclaimed someone behind me when she saw Scarlett's lacy, scalloped confections.

Pepper's equestrian-inspired collection was more sophisticated but some pieces didn't look quite finished. A zipper dangled in the rear slit of a gorgeous tulle skirt.

"I thought Kara Saun would win," said Ilzhoefer after the show. "But now I think it will be Jay. (His collection) was everything I thought it would be and more."

Ilzhoefer, by the way, heads back to Charlotte on Sunday to finish a red dress for the American Heart Association's annual Heart Ball next Saturday at the Westin.
 
'Project Runway' takes off at New York Fashion Week

NEW YORK – The four finalists on Bravo's fashion reality show, "Project Runway," staged presentations on the same catwalk used by Richard Tyler and Joseph Abboud during New York Fashion Week.

But before the first model stepped onto the runway Friday, supermodel-host Heidi Klum explained that only three of the four aspiring designers would be seen when the show's finale airs Feb. 23.

Klum didn't want the media to be the spoiler for next week's episode, during which one of the four – Jay McCarroll, Wendy Pepper, Austin Scarlett and Kara Saun – will be sent packing. "Project Runway" airs on Wednesday nights.

McCarroll's "stereotype" collection, which featured models wearing headphones dyed to match their outfits, seemed to be the favorite of fashion fans in the audience.

The flamboyant 29-year-old from Lehman, Pa., showed a gold quilted wrap with a gold sequined skirt with a patchwork applique and a turquoise cardigan with an oversized collar, a wood bead chestpiece, an obi belt and a miniskirt paired with leggings.

"I hate to pick favorites, but Jay's collection was far and away the best," said Carson Kressley, the fashion expert on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." "A fashion show is all about point of view. ... His show told a story."

Pepper, 39, from Middleburg, Va., explained that her collection was inspired by the annual rite of the harvest. Her looks included a brown cashmere cocktail dress with lace trim and a green charmeuse evening dress with darker green feathers at the bust.

When it was Scarlett's turn, models strutted to a jazzed-up version of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" in Americana clothes, such as a tweed day dress with fringe and buttons, a matching bolero jacket and ruffled front blouse.

The 23-year-old from Eugene, Ore., said the clothes were made with a patriotic theme: "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Saun, 37, who describes her hometown as "the world," created a collection that embraces the things she loves most: luxury, sexiness, strength and passion.

Her designs included a fuchsia cracked patent leather aviator jacket with rust chinchilla trim and a white double-silk gown with a plunging V front, a jeweled buckle and fox fur wrap.

The winner of "Project Runway" will receive $100,000 in seed money to help launch his or her own fashion line and a mentorship from the Banana Republic design team, according to the show's Web site.

Fashion Week opened Friday and continues through Feb. 11.

Hahaha...that's is what I thought. Everytime Wendy stayed was because someone other than Garcia and Kors saved her. Remember that post office uniform episode?
 
it was hysterical to me when Wendy was holding onto Austin, after she won, and he was physically trying to push her off of him with all the strength in both his arms.

It was truly sickening to see that fool Nancy O'dell choose wendy. all of her nitpicking comments about jay's fabric being outdated, austins dress too glam, kara's proportion or what ever...it was all splitting hairs. O'Dell objected to wendy's skirt, she said she really only could like the top. So HOW is that criteria to choose a winner?? I think she fell for the fact that Wendy mentioned she was thinking about O'dell needing a good look from the waist up for her on-camera work. All of the dresses looked good from the waist up, basically...except Jay...I mean she was never going to chose his based on her dislike of the color, and the form on top. I think you have to understand that O'dell is a wannabe actress, who settled for being a fluff reporter. She wants the attention of having her boobs hiked up that wendys dress does. Also, O'dell works for Access Hollywood, which is owned by NBC, which, also owns Bravo. I'm pretty sure she's gonna choose who ever the producers tell her to choose...their sole focus is ratings and one way or another they want Wendy in this show all the way to the end because we viewers love hating her.

Also -- I will say that wendy has won twice now, not for her concepts, but for her observation skills. In the Banana republic competition, she said she designed the dress and cape because she saw that B.R. had that look in other fabrications and she thought the B.R. judge would go for the consistent look. She basically used the same approach this time...observing that O'Dell likes orange, and that she likes that low bustline, she likes separates because she needs a place to hang her microphone transmitter at the waist. Wendy listened...then gave O'Dell what she wanted. We shouldnt be too suprised with the outcome.

I agree. I loved Austin's little roll of the eye look thing he threw Wendy when she was clawing at him. She looked like a sinner seeing Jesus for the first time or something.

I agree that they just kept Wendy to keep up the drama till the last episode since she's like the 'omarosa' element of the show. Her attitude sucks and she doesn't have the talent to back it up. I might even enjoy watching her designs fail.
