I’m a bit late recapping Episode 1 of Project Runway; Episode
2 airs in less than 12 hours but better late than never! I think the season kicked off with a bang,
and I loved the challenge of creating a complimentary look to their at-home
creation to be debuted in Times Square.
I would have been terrified/thrilled to present to the center of NYC. There seem to be a wide range of designers
and personalities this season; I’m shocked that designers were clashing so
early (Christopher and Gunnar I’m looking at you!) There hasn’t been a team
challenge to fight over yet.
In terms of the highs and lows of the runway, I have to
agree with the judges. I absolutely loved Christopher’s at-home look, the way
the layers of his gown moved on the runway were simply fantastic! His complimentary look was a bit of a mess
from the back with that weird zipper bump but the crepe-like cocktail was a
well-suited match to the gown. I also
loved Ven’s origami-inspired hot pink looks, he appears to be a master tailor
much like Victor and Christian from past seasons. I would love to wear the suit he made to work
or dinners out. The judges picked
Melissa for the third highest score, but personally I thought Nathan’s looks
were better, the orange flowy gown he made was fantastic!

The lows were…low.
While I respect clothes that aren’t necessarily my taste for their
design asthetic some of them were pretty rough on the eyes. Kooan’s romper was something out of a
Teletubbies episode and Beatrice’s poncho was a bit Holly hobby.

I can’t wait for tonight’s unconventional episode where the
designers are asked to make clothes using candy from Dylan’s Candy Bar! Sometime I’ll have to tell you about how I
hung up the phone on Dylan…till then, Make It Work!
What did you think of Episode 1, who were your favorites, any early predictions for the finale? Shout it Out!

I hate Gunnar a lot. He appears to just be copying Joshua's personality from last season, as if that actually did anything to benefit him. I hope he goes soon. I do like Christopher, though. Doesn't he look like Michael Costello?
Do you read the blog Tom and Lorenzo? They are AMAZING. I think you'd like it.

Gunnar is just abrasive, I'm sure he thinks it's cute but starting drama right away just isn't. I LOVED Ven's suit, especially the top.
Kooan is going to be an interesting one to watch, those massive button-strap things on his jumper were interesting, I'm sure he's going to be entertaining to watch.
