Project Runway 101

This is Project Runway

“One day you’re in, and the next day you’re out”. “Auf Wiedersehen”. Wondering where these lines were heard and spoken?? These are some of the lines we hear from the original Bravo reality show, and this is Project Runway. Project Runway started in 2004, and the show takes place at Parsons New School of Design in New York City. This show is looking for the next big name in Fashion. They are having auditions in different parts of America, in which every participant should bring their 3 strongest looks in which they will be judged. And after the auditions, they will choose around 14 to 16 designers in which they will be part of the show.

Every week, they are given challenges in which it determines their skill, art and how creative they are. They are also given a short period of time (I really mean it) to shop for fabrics and to complete their designs. There will be a winner for every challenge, and sad to say, one will also be out in the competition, until 3 will remain to show their collection in Bryant Park and will be given the chance to show their collection in New York Fashion Week, a $100,000 to start their own line, furnished by Tresemme, a chance to sell their line on Bluefly.com, and a new edition of an Astra car. Wow!! The prizes are so enough to start a line. And now, let’s meet the people in PR. Let’s start in introducing the host. She is a Victoria’s Secret angel, a German model, and also the hostess of Germany’s Next Top Model. She is Ms. Heidi Klum. Next on the list is the mentor of the designers and he also might be the tormentor (according to others.).He is Tim Gunn. The 2 judges for the competition are the tough American designer Michael Corrs, and the editor at large for ELLE magazine, Nina Garcia. Now that we’ve introduced the people in PR, of course, let’s now meet the designers. Because PR has 5 seasons already, we’ll just share to you the winners of the different seasons. Here are they: Jay McCarroll (Season 1), Chloe Dao (Season 2), Jeffrey Sebelia (Season 3), Christian Siriano (Season 4) and last but not the least is the latest winner, Leanne Marshall (Season 5). These people showed their collections, and because of PR their dreams came true. Project Runway is really a chance of a lifetime for aspiring designers. To know more about the designers of every season just type Project Runway in Wikipedia, and choose which season.

Now, let's see what is the inspiration of Christian's and Leanne's collection.

Christian's collection was comprised of Musketeer-inspired couture, featuring ruffles, feathers and headwear (the brown dress with ruffles in the picture). Leanne's collection is inspired by these wave patterns (the green dress.).

These are the things we do know about Project Runway. Thanks for reading and Auf Wiedersehen, this means goodbye in Germany. Bye!!
