Grandpa Fashion goes Western. Hey, it could happen!
Annie get your glue gun, because it’s time for a costume design challenge on Project Runway.
Taking note of the Hollywood setting, this week the designers are given a choice of film genres and must pick one and crank out an outfit that hews to their particular archetype, while also envisioning a character who will be wearing it. Some have more imagination than others, and some need remedial film scholar studies. Read the full story
Why hello, Eva Longoria Parker! More Hollywood guest judges. Who'd a thunk it?
If you guessed newsprint as the unconventional fabric of choice for this week’s challenge, you won the kewpie.
Although it injected some life into this season’s so far dull challenges, there’s still one huge problem with Project Runway‘s sixth season — the judges. Or should I say, the continued absence of NIna Garcia and Michael Kors. But more on that later. The headlines today are all about what you can do with paper.
Heidi appears in a darling black and white Breton top (and really, everyone should have that staple in their wardrobe) to tell the designers the answers will be found…in black and white. Tim loads them into the van and takes them to the Los Angeles Times building, where they meet with Times’ fashion critic Booth Moore. Amidst pallets of newspaper, the designers are given three minutes for a snatch and grab mission, and as usual in these type of challenges (remember the Gristedes challenge, the trash barge challenge, the Saturn car parts challenge?), some get greedier than others.
Back at FIDM, Tim gives a lecture on the history of the paper dress, and lays out the materials they can use, such as dyes, brushes, markers, and muslin for base, although it can’t show in the finished design. Which I agree with — muslin is a crutch for weak designers.

Don't they look cute in their day clothes? And some will wish they'd kept them on when they see what's in store for them.
Thirteen beautiful princesses need an eye-catching look for an industry event. Some will get dresses that look as if fairy god-designers created them. Others will be going to the ball in outfits designed by rabid forest creatures. Or pants from their own closets.
But haven’t we heard this fairy tale before? Project Runway, please stop recycling challenges. Although the past challenge I refer to was creating a wedding gown for the designers’ model, and came in season one, this is getting a little too close for comfort. But it does prove a point: While models have great street fashion, they aren’t always so good at picking high fashion, or even simple evening looks. Read the full story
Just a couple of very blonde, very tall, pregnant ladies.
Here we are at week two of Project Runway, hatchlings, and it’s getting easier to discern what the judges are looking for this season. To whit: sloppy construction will beat a freaky concept, so take your conceptual ideas elsewhere, designers.
But I get ahead of myself. You see, I’ve been sick in bed for two days with something much akin to morning sickness. Except it isn’t. So Mom, if you’re reading this, I’m not pregnant! Rebecca Romijn, however, was when this episode was filmed, and with twins, to boot. So the challenge was to make a design for her to prance around in. Let’s start the show!
Heidi Klum won’t have any more children because four are “a lot of work”.
The 36-year-old supermodel – who is expecting her fourth child together with singer husband Seal – says they will not extend their brood again because they are now “outnumbered” by their children.
She laughed: “We’re outnumbered. Four is perfect. Three is a lot. But four? It’s a lot of work. We’re hands-on, and we feel like this is what we can handle.”
The German beauty admits they feel under pressure to choose the perfect name for their unborn baby.
Greetings fellow fashionistas! Whether you know how to wield a needle and thread, have a mean peddle foot with your Singer, Brother or Janome machine, or just like a little drama with your Thursday nights, I’m here to help you relive the fabric-flinging fun that is Project Runway.
I’m Tanya W., and I’m an independent knitwear designer. Which means I’m currently unemployed, with the exception of selling my own original creations on Etsy, like every other guy and gal with a machine (mine is a Soviet-era Singer).
I also design knitwear patterns, and will have three published in 2010 by major publishers — so I’m living the dream (sort of).
NEW YORK (AP) — c: After a massive delay, “Project Runway” is revealing its new batch of aspiring fashion designers. Until now, they lurked in the shadows, prematurely sidelined by a legal battle over the popular design-challenge series, which began on Bravo but ended up in the hands of Lifetime.
As the female friendly network prepares for the Aug. 20 premiere, the 16 contestants’ diverse faces and backgrounds are ready for launch. Three of them — Nicholas Putvinksi, Gordana Gehlhausen and Irina Shabeyeva — hail originally from Russia, Bosnia and the Republic of Georgia, respectively.
Yet another contestant, Malvin Vein, lists his favorite designer as “himself” and inspiration as “the farmers of rural China.” Another, Louise Black, claims the first garment she ever sewed was her very own wedding dress.
Nearly half call New York City home.
Hollywood heavy hitters and fashion elite made their way to the 2009 CFDA Awards at the Lincoln Center in New York City.
The CFDA honors contributions made to American fashion by individuals from all areas of the industry and related arts.
The nominees and honorees included Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui and a special director’s tribute to First Lady Michelle Obama.
