Project Runway:The Show That Changed Fashion The National Arts Club Friday, 6 p.m., free "Unwearable" was defined and redefined. Sewing got hip. We became frighteningly desensitized to the image of another human being crying. This is what 10 seasons of Project Runway will do. But at its best the se ... More >>
All your Project Runway questions answered
Last night, mega designer Michael Kors spilled some fully baked beans to fashion biggie Fern Mallis at the 92nd Street Y. Christian Freedom was at the event and jotted down every terribly chic word:
The network that brings you Project Runway is shooting a pilot for a a whole other, similar show with various designers competing for the approval of several judges. They asked me to keep this on the down low, but they also swore they'd call me back to let me know whether or not they'd need ... More >>
The annual Fashion's Night Out last Friday was a big hit, the streets swarming with zombie-like fashionistas looking for a photo op or a bargain. It was like Halloween all over again, but for people who didn't realize they were wearing a costume.
Araceli CruzTim Gunn must have needed the extra-strength dosage after Thursday morning's Project Runway Season 8 finale show. Midway through the carefully orchestrated hoodwink hour of 10 contestants' collections (seven the ringers, three the true finalists, in standard Runway fashion), the L ... More >>
We've been counting down the days until this very moment: the first day of Fashion Week at its new location. And although Bryant Park is a mere two miles away from Lincoln Center, it feels like we're in another world. We take our first glimpse of the new setup and see no sign of white tents or bi ...

1. We open on the Runway contestants' Spartan apartment and an eloquent diorama of good versus evil, i.e. previous challenge winner Casanova chattering benignly about his recent victory as wicked sisters Gretchen and Ivy continue to verbally desecrate Michael C. Cut to stern, sepia flashback ... More >>
Top 10 Revelatory Moments From This Week's Project Runway 1. The Oliver Twist undercurrent that runs so fiercely throughout Runway (think about it: cramped confines, rigorous wailing, repurposed rags) has never been so apparent than in this episode's early arc. We open on Mondo, Denver's mos ... More >>
Last night's Project Runway's eighth season premiere encompassed a seemingly rebellious enthusiasm in the constrictive fashion world: more is...well, not better, if the glacial stride of these 90 minutes were any indication, but somehow worth having. More is just more. Hear that, ye waist-wh ... More >>
I'm gonna be in 3-D! Yep, I was one of the New York notables featured in a festive scene from the film debut of those lovable Smurfs that I watch on BOOM channel all the time.
Look, even your grandma was rooting for Seth Aaron to win. For all the judges' constant flurries of critique about various contestants not skewing "editorial," season 7 of Project Runway had a decidedly staunch narrative pretty established early on: Goofy daddy-o Seth Aaron was distilled down ...

One day, you're in. The next day, you're out. Then maybe you're back in--unless you decided to throw yourself out. Then you can't get back in, but someone who was out is now in. Somewhere, there's a blonde barking in German. Tears, so many tears. No day but today, and so forth. Runway rubber ... More >>
Finally, there is some rest for the wicked on Project Runway. This season has been as wham-bam as any, with one-day challenges the norm and the designs often running unrealized as a result; then again, as we all know, Michelangelo's David was carved over a long lunch break (hold the prosciutt ...

Got your pitchfork handy? Good, because if you live in Manhattan, you'll need it; this week on Project Runway, the challenge is apparently to incite all Gothamites to violence. And it succeeds wildly in two ways: first, two designers attempt to extract fashion inspiration from the Upper East ... More >>
Not that I look at it at all, but bigmuscle.com is a NSFO site where gays show their bodies and "network" via their pecs and sometimes their privates. And I--I mean someone--just found two notables there:
New York "personifies man-made inspiration," waxes Tim Gunn philosophically, gesturing from his rooftop perch down to the humming city below. The Project Runway contestants, the brave remaining nine, blink back at him warily, and justifiably -- they're about to receive quite the hippie-dippie ... More >>
Discussed: Project Runway finale, Christian Siriano Stacey AndersonJudges Heidi Klum, Faith Hill, Michael Kors, and Nina Garcia"Reality" television? Not so much. Project Runway tried to dupe our fragile young minds on Friday at their finale taping, sending not just the top three finalists bu ... More >>
Jay and his winning designMichael Kors, resident crepehanger of the Project Runway judge squad, is fond of saying that there are "no rules" in fashion anymore, usually as he is trying to impose improbable new style commands in his monthly Glamour column (wear short-shorts in the dead of winte ...

Emilio's winning entry, via Lifetime. If half the Project Runway contestants designed their clothes as well as their sound bytes, this show would be a gladiator match. But in its seventh season, and second since moving to the Lifetime channel, the show again seems to be favoring attractive, med ... More >>
Jack Mackenroth--the HIV guy from Project Runway--has become a trannie chaser! Well, a drag queen chaser. Well, he's been filming them for a pilot for a reality show called The Queens of Drag. OK?
Jack Mackenroth, the HIV-positive guy from Project Runway, caught the recent Oprah Winfrey show about women with AIDS and found it to be a bit archaic, sensationalistic, and damaging to the cause. But otherwise, he liked it, ba dum pum. Anyway, here's the very thoughtful letter Jack wrote to ... More >>
