Project Runway - Season 5

It's about to begin. (July 16th) I'm not sure if I will have time to get sucked into this for one more season.

Quote:

Bravo's highly-anticipated fifth season of the three-time Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning creative competition reality series Project Runway returns Wednesday, July 16 in a new time slot -- 9/8c. Returning to the runway, host and supermodel Heidi Klum heads a panel of industry luminaries, including judges, top women's and menswear designer Michael Kors, and fashion expert Nina Garcia, as they decide who is "in" and who is "out." Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer at Liz Claiborne, Inc., will once again act as a mentor to the designers as they take on weekly fashion challenges. The 16 Project Runway contestants will be whittled down week-by-week to the finalists who will show their own line in front of an audience of fashion industry movers and shakers at New York Fashion Week.

I'm lame, I could not find the contestants for new Season 5.

For those wishing to sew their skills for Season 6, casting info here

While I've never seen the show, I did run across this bit of dirt today... Some writer found notes and papers from Harvey Weinstein in the trash. Some of which are about Project runway...

Call me if you have questions. Best, lori

I've been sucked into So You Think You Can Dance which fills my skill based reality show quota for the summer and am so far stupidly amused by Wipeout which fills my non-skills reality/game show quota.

I started with Project Runway last season but it turns out I'd grown bored with its repetitiveness. Same with Top Chef. Maybe after a couple seasons not watching I'll appeal again.

The cast bios can be found here

And it starts tonight!!!

So is anyone still watching this? I caught a couple of episodes online, but haven't figured out when it airs now that I'm back in the US.

Tim Gunn has weighed in on Miley Cyrus though...

Miley Cyrus 'Tarty' According To Tim Gunn

Quote:

Tim Gunn is no stranger to the world of fashion, the fashion consultant and mentor on the Bravo network reality show Project Runway recently weighed in on 'tween idol, Miley Cyrus and her fashion sense. Not surprisingly, her sense of style doesn't resonate with Mr. Gunn.

Tim Gunn told OK! magazine, "Miley Cyrus is just a little too tarty, forgive me. I don't want her to look like she's going into a convent school, but it's just a little too much for a 15-year-old. If I didn't know better, I'd swear she was 25."

I've been watching! I don't like the contestants as much as previous seasons; no one really stands out at this point.

However, that being said - the winning ensemble for last week's challenge was amazing. I mean, it was obvious from the editing that it would be the winning outfit, but it was still pretty stunning.

I've been catching them on replay and saw lasty night after the convention. Like Pru, I have found this year's lineup lackluster and a whiney bunch. No real standouts, a few creations have caught my eye. My overall feeling is, this may be my last Project Runway, after last season, it feels like the franchise is done.

On a happy note, Chris March from Season 4 seems to have a thriving business. Chris March Design.

we are watching regularly. There are a fee people who need to go first before it beets great.
