Wendy...??? Then you almost have to laugh!

 

[brian]

Kawakubo-type of clothing over Jacobs/Vuitton?

it means that most people don't appreciate art, which is completely true.

 

[AlexN]

Jay gets Juiced...according to The NY Daily News

Designer rants get pretty ugly


Is fashion designer Jay McCarroll, winner of Bravo's "Project Runway," coming apart at the seams?

McCarroll, who beat out 11 other designers on Heidi Klum's popular cable television show to win a $100,000 prize, suffered a meltdown at Tuesday night's launch party for cartoonist Robert Crumb's "R. Crumb Handbook" at the Stella McCartney boutique in the Meatpacking District.

My brave associate Hud Morgan bore the brunt of McCarroll's outburst - but not before the "Project Runway" star exploded at a party guest who mistook him for one of Donald Trump's protégés: "I'm not on the f--ing 'Apprentice!'"

Whirling on Morgan, McCarroll then launched into an unsolicited rant about rival designer Kai Kuehne, formerly of the trendy fashion label As Four.

"For God's sakes, the guy had Docksides on tonight! Who the f-- wears Docksides besides people in nursing homes?" McCarroll hissed into Morgan's tape recorder. "He always looks like some kind of maharishi who just came off a carpet. There should be stricter border rules in America! Where do these people come from?"

Yesterday, Kuehne told Morgan: "Oh no! I don't know what to say about that. I don't think anybody has the right to try to forbid anyone anything - this is the land of the free. How did he win? Is the show really that bad?"

But the 29-year-old McCarroll, who was sporting a 10-gallon hat, pink sunglasses and giant poncho that hid the wine glass he was holding at crotch level, revealed an even uglier side when Morgan inquired about his headgear.

McCarroll: "I'm from the country. I live in the f--ing woods. Where are you from?"

Morgan, whose hometown is Dublin, N.H.: "A town of 1,500, actually."

McCarroll: "And where do you live now? Where do you live now, a--? ..."

Morgan: "Is this how reality stars get their 16th minute of fame? By insulting everyone?"

McCarroll: "Well at least I have a sustainable career ahead of me. You're working for the Daily News. Why do you want to see people fail? What is it about you that wants to see people fail? Why are you mocking me?"

Morgan: "Um, I think you're pretty much mocking yourself."

McCarroll: "You're such a [anti-gay epithet] that you can't even see straight."

Morgan: "So now we're reduced to gay-baiting?"

McCarroll: "What sort of a name is Hudson? Your parents must have been [repeats anti-gay epithet] to name you that."

Before McCarroll could say anything more, a panicked publicist finally swooped in - too late! - and hauled him away.

Yesterday a chastened McCarroll phoned Morgan to apologize. "I had about 900 drinks and I'm really, really sorry for screaming at you like an a--," he said. "I remember calling your parents [a rather colorful anti-gay epithet], but at the end of the day, you're doing your job, and I shouldn't be making personal attacks on you, and I'm sorry."

I'll bet he is.

& that is exactly why I love Jay so much. It is definetely the truth though. Those journalists [whether they realize it or not] ruin many peoples careers and lives. & they force people to explode like that.

More power to Jay I say.

He is a beautiful designer & I am very happy he won.

<3 Me.

Honestly after looking at the clothes I don't think any of them were talented. Parsons and FIT gradaute tons of people every year with twice as much talent as any of them. The show is sort of a joke and the way Jay acts in public is very telling of them. Do people in the industry actually take him seriously?

 

[AlexN]

Jay kicks ***. I'm gonna go see what stuff of his they have at Bagutta this weekend...

So has anyone seen it in person?

 

[dancingellecat]

Will there be a 2nd season?

 

[pointup]

^yeah they are going to. I saw an ad for it in Elle

 

[Morningstar]

Yes, there will be a second season. There are flyers around my school and Tim Gunn mentioned it at the Senior Benefit show and at my Junior Show.

 

[Papercut Crisis]

Anyone go to auditions? I just missed Miami auditions by a week Suck!

 

[baklanyc]

I only know of Tim Gunn via the show, and through a brief interlude with him at my friend Peter's show. I take it you have some negative feelings about him? I suppose it can happen about all higher-ups in one's schools...

Meanwhile, that Jay McCarrol rant was so awful. He may have shown one of the better collections, but NO ONE is allowed that kind of vitriol (if the interview is to be believed) unprovoked. Alcohol is a lame excuse. No one forced him to drink it. And saying ALL journalists destroy lives is gerneralization, marginaizaltion and an insult to journalists who live their lives respectively.
