Rate the Project Runway! Stage Looks For Christina Aguilera

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Last night's Project Runway - appropriately called "Sequins, Feathers, and Fur. Oh My!" - was one of the most exciting. Even the designers admitted so. The challenge was to create an over-the-top stage look for Christina Aguilera, inspired by legendary designer, the sultan of sequins, Bob Mackie. Many welcomed the challenge and did a great job, while a few let fear get in the way. Nicolas and Althea scored high, but Carol Hannah won thanks to her sophisticated, textured black gown (left). Click on to see the rest of the frocks, then at the end, vote on the most impressive.

Maternity Looks Straight Off Project Runway

babysugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 06:00:28 -0700

Christian Siriano went where no former Project Runway star has been before - into the maternity wardrobe! His fiercely fresh collection is a welcome change to most expectant clothing racks. As the host of the fabulous hit show, Heidi Klum may have been inspired by the alum's pregnant perspective or perhaps her own belly bump for the show's second competition. Last week the designers had to create a look for one supermodel actress and then mother-to-be, Rebecca Romijn. Browse the amazing frocks the talent came up with in a matter of hours and tell me which one you like best. I'll tell you which one got top prize and which designer had to say "auf Wiedersehen."

Sneak Peek! Daniel Vosovic, Spring '10

FabSugar — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 05:50:22 -0700

With the exception of penning a book, 2005 Project Runway alum, Daniel Vosovic, has been majorly MIA. However, he's back on our radar thanks to a divine Spring '10 collection comprised of sporty yet polished frocks and separates. His eight-piece collection is dipped in hues of cobalt, black, white, and deep amethyst, oozing a fresh, modern aesthetic every girl is looking for. I love the simple, color-blocking effect, and his eye for detail is just amazing. Picture this cobalt color-blocked dress at a funky art opening - so chic. I think it's safe to say Daniel Vosovic's back.

Which Project Runway Pregnancy Look Is Most Fab?

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Last night's Project Runway was all about maternity wear. Did you tune in? The designers were asked to create an outfit for then-pregnant Rebecca Romijn, who is now the mommy of twin girls. The bulging belly was an obstacle for most of the designers, and it showed in their creations. Shirin's red draped dress and coat (left) ended up winning for being the most wearable, but there were a few other looks worthy of the win - do you agree with the winner and loser? Flip through and tell me, which PR pregnancy look is most Fab?

Project Runway Rundown: Episode 10, "Transformation"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:30:11 -0700

The Project Runway challenge a couple of years back where the designers had to dress other contestants' mothers was a nightmare, so it's no wonder that when this year's crop of designers saw a bunch of average-looking, middle-aged women walk out onto the runway, they feared the worst. But the Project Runway team had something new up its sleeve in Wednesday's episode: This time, the designers had to dress the women's daughters, hip young women just out of college and looking for jobs.

Of course, it still could have been a disaster, with pushy mothers overruling what their daughters wanted, but for the most part (save for Leanne's family, and even then only slightly) the challenge proceeded with little drama. In fact, the episode was almost a little boring: relatively calm workroom, relatively good designs, relatively happy clients. Hey, at least we had Jerell to light the room up with his wit. From "Come on, Joe, you can work on Nancy Reagan tomorrow" to his story of working at McDonald's and "getting all kinds of free Big-n-Tasties," our boy was on fire last night!

Meanwhile, Kenley dressed her mini-me, we saw pictures of the designers in their own just-entering-the-workforce days, and the fabulous Cynthia Rowley stopped by to judge, so to see my thoughts on the episode, just read more.

During client selection, Leanne took one look at her client and said, "There's no way this girl just graduated college. She looks like she's 12." Leanne, you look like you're 12!
Did we know Korto was a mom? The pictures of her daughter were adorable.
There's a Mood dog, and his/her name is Swatch? Awesome.
Kenley's conversations with Tim Gunn are amazing. She manages to hear his critiques as glowing compliments. Tim laments that something looks too "menswear," and Kenley responds happily, "right, right, professional!"
I cracked up at this line from Cynthia Rowley when Suede said his client wanted something to go from day to evening: "I say just change your clothes before you go out."

Now, as for the designs:

Kenley - Kenley made a variation of her standard '50s dress, this time with a short vest and shiny belt. She lucked out, because the look worked for her mini-me. She also seemed to be holding her tongue on the runway, even if she did crack up (along with her mini-me) during Joe's critique.
Joe - The minute Joe told his punky, Kelly Osbourne-ish client that he was going to make her a business suit, I was pretty sure he was a goner. Add in some pinstripes and an ill-fitting wrap shirt ("Becky Home Ec-y," as Kors said), and it was exactly what you'd imagine wearing to a job interview . . . in 1988.
Korto - I didn't get a great look at Korto's dress, but that hardly matters, because I would buy her jacket right now. The judges loved it (Cynthia Rowley admiringly said it looked like it could have been really expensive), and she was easily in the top three.
Suede - Suede's client was a photographer, so she wanted something that would be easy to move in, and instead, she got a short-ish dress with one of the most wickity-whack jackets we've seen on the runway in a long time. I think it could have worked as a maxidress and without that awful craziness on the jacket sleeves.
Jerell - Jerell said he wanted to make his client an outfit that was "flirty and sexy in its own awkward way," and he accomplished it with a pencil skirt, a fancy blouse, and a man-ish cardigan. It was a great look for his client, who instantly looked more grownup without a hint of dowdiness.
Leanne - Leanne got the toughest of the clients (more accurately, the toughest of the mothers), but she still managed to come up with something that would please everyone. It wasn't her best, just a relatively simple dress with a boxy jacket the judges hated (but I liked), but it was enough to get her through.

In the end, Jerell nabbed his second win in a row, while Joe went "outsie-daisy." Ah well - at least he still got to show at Bryant Park. If Suede goes next, I'll be perfectly happy with the top four. You?
