Do You Agree With the Winner of Project Runway?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:24:09 -0800

The sixth season of Project Runway, punctuated by a network change and a long lawsuit, wrapped up this week, and the winner was finally announced. And I really mean finally - the collections were actually shown way back in February.

Last week, the majority of you predicted that Carol Hannah would take home the honors. Of course, she didn't win, though I did love her collection. It was Irina and her urban lady-warrior collection that took home the title in the end. Althea was complimented for her sportswear, Carol Hannah wowed with beautiful draping, but neither bested Irina.

Do you agree with the judges and Irina's win, or do you think it should have been Carol Hannah or Althea?

Who Do You Think Should Win Project Runway?

This week's episode of Project Runway was the first installment in the sixth season's finale, which means that we got to jet around with Tim Gunn to see the final contestants at home, working on their collections. Next week, we'll see the fruits of their labor strutting down the catwalk in Bryant Park, completing Lifetime's first season with the reality show. The winner - of Irina, Althea, or Carol Hannah - will also be crowned. Until then, I want to know who you're rooting for - who do you think deserves the title of Project Runway winner?

5 Gays Talk Project Runway Fall, at Least One Blames Women

TresSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:00:46 -0800

From moving to the West Coast, to the influx of celebrity judges, to casting drama over talent, five gay men have offered their theories on why viewership of Project Runway fell 25 percent between the premiere of season six and its ninth episode. One faults having three female finalists (though that happened on Bravo's final season too) saying:

"I am all for diversity and playing to your audience’s demographic, but please. And not to sound completely misogynistic, but three women as finalists? No fags? Really? These women were probably the most talented, but obviously when you tell the Bunim/Murray casting juggernaut, 'This is Lifetime: Television for Women, not talented gay male fashion designers,' you get what you get!"

While he jests (mostly), women probably miss the Christian Sirianos who sharpen their tongues before even threading a needle each morning just as much as gay men do. But what do I know? I only watched the first three episodes.

Do You Agree With This Week's Project Runway Winner and Loser?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:45:39 -0800

This week's Project Runway took me by surprise for a couple reasons. First, I definitely wasn't expecting it to be the last episode before Bryant Park as there were five contestants still competing. Keyword: were. Last night Heidi and Co. auf'd two designers to give us our final three. The second thing that took me by surprise was that they cut a designer whose dress they actually liked. Something smells fishy. Ultimately, I am happy with the chosen three, even if I didn't necessarily agree with the judges' critiques last night. What did you think?

Michael Kors disappeared from the judges panel on this week's Project Runway, so season two alum Nick Verreos and actress Kerry Washington took his place. The challenge was to craft a companion look for each contestant's best look (not winning look, sadly, because Logan hadn't won a challenge). The winner and loser didn't necessarily surprise me, but the whininess of Althea and Irina irritated me to no end. I was glad that Nick noted how easy it was to cull inspiration from each other in the small group. Either way, do you think the winner deserved the win and the loser deserved the booting?

Do You Think Althea Copies Irina on Project Runway?

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Part one of Project Runway's finale aired last night. Tim Gunn visited the three remaining designers' homes to check in on their collections. Amid all the creativity, there was continued tension between Irina and Althea. Ever since the famous locale challenge, Irina has claimed Althea copies her designs. And last night, you could see it in Irina's eyes (right), she was thinking it again. Do you think there's any truth to Irina's accusations or is she just being paranoid?

FabSugar Exclusive! Taylor Jacobson, A Lady Who Lunches . . . With an Edge

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:45:22 -0800

All good things must come to an end. And that includes Rachel Zoe's work relationship with her platinum-blond style associate, Taylor Jacobson. You either loved her or hated her - but you have to admit you loved her wardrobe. I couldn't shut up about her awesome jackets; Chanel, Dries van Noten, Balenciaga, sigh. You may recall I spoke with Rachel at the beginning of this last season of The Rachel Zoe Project and she shared that Taylor has a heart of gold. I'm sure Taylor's leaving Rachel Zoe was melancholy for all parties involved - the two have worked together since January 2005. I know I will miss drooling over her jackets and watching her and Brad's banter.

We caught up with Taylor this week, and though she didn't divulge details about her departure, she has a positive outlook on life - something we seldom see from the show's supposed villain. And, can I just add, Taylor gives Fab favorite Diane Kruger props for having stellar style - great minds . . . Listen up.

What should we expect to see from you in the next year?

I look forward to exploring styling on my own and the new opportunities and experiences it is going to bring.

Who are your go-to designers right now?

Chris Benz, Alexander Wang, and Prabal Gurung.

Whose style do you admire?

I think Diane Kruger has great style and even more impressive is that she does it herself.

To read the rest of the interview and to see a gallery of Taylor on TRZP, read more.

How would you describe your style?

Ladies who lunch with an edge.

Has being on TV changed your style at all?

No. I think I have always been true to my sense of style.

What was your last big splurge?

I’m trying to be recession savvy at the moment.

What are the most ridiculous trends right now?

I don’t think that anything is ridiculous, you can always make something work with the right styling.

I will never be caught dead in . . .

There is nothing I won’t try.

Most overrated designer? Most underrated?

I respect the art form of design, and I think they should all be respected for sharing their art with us.

Have you ever considered designing your own line of clothing or accessories?

At this point I’m entertaining all ideas. I am walking into this new chapter with an open mind.

Do You Agree With This Week's Project Runway Winner and Loser?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:30:20 -0700

Project Runway guest judge Milla Jovovich teared up at the end of this week's episode when the losing contestant was eliminated, and it was just one of the many bright spots of this week's destination-as-inspiration challenge. For one thing, Micheal Kors and Nina Garcia were up on the judging panel together, at the same time! I wasn't really blown away by the winner's look, but the losing outfit - and its maker - were more than ready to get the boot, in my opinion.

What did you think about this week's episode (besides how adorable Milla was)? Are you happy about the contestants left in the top six?
