How are the rest of you doing with this season? Does anyone out there still care at all?

Project Runway Takes a Break

Project Runway, S05 E8: Double 0 Fashion.

Last week on Project Runway: Leanne made car part couture and won. Keith had a gigantic nervous breakdown and lost. I started to wonder if the show had lost it, as well, when it couldn’t even make said breakdown dramatic or interesting in any way. This week, the designers get to work with actual fabric for an actual designer, and I desperately try to find contestants to care about.

Project Runway Plays The Spy Game

Project Runway, S05 E07: Fashion That Drives You

Last week on Project Runway, Daniel failed to embrace the dragtastic nature of the challenge and was sent home, where he is surely making a high end cocktail dress at this very moment. This week, the designers face a dreaded “innovation” challenge (read: thinly veiled product placement) when they are asked to design outfits from car parts.

Project Runway Gets Behind The Wheel

Last week on Project Runway: Brooke Shields showed us she’s still hot, and Kelli sadly showed us that she was not by designing a surprisingly tacky dress. This week: it’s a gay old time when PR breaks out the drag queen challenge, complete with special guest Chris March.

Project Runway Drags It Up

Last week, Korto celebrated the Olympics by stealing a win out from under Terri’s nose, and Jennifer went home, where hopefully there are lots of dictionaries and she can learn what surrealism actually means. This week: the designers get to create an outfit for Brooke Shields to wear on that show I never watch. Plus, they work in pairs, which is always an excellent opportunity to reveal personality defects.

Project Runway Crawls Through the Jungle

Last week on Project Runway: the designers were pretty much given free rein with a photo inspiration-based challenge, and Emily felt free to create a really ugly dress. Kenley won, allowing her latent smugness to rise to the surface. This week: hey, did you know the Olympics are coming?

Project Runway Goes For The Gold

Last week on Project Runway, Wesley’s discovery that short + tight + shiny = cheap earned him a ticket home, while Suede’s insistence on talking about himself in the third person did not automatically disqualify him from winning the challenge. This week, the designers find inspiration in New York City. Also, the judges might be smoking crack.

Project Runway Looks at the Bright Lights

Last week on Project Runway, Jerry explored the possibility of serial killer chic and was the first one sent packing. This week, the designers must create environmentally responsible dresses for their model clients, and it turns out models really like the color brown.

Project Runway Paints The Town Green

It’s that time again. Welcome back to yet another season of fabulousness, bitchery, and some truly ridiculous outfits. If the first episode is anything to go by, it’s going to be a…dare I say it?…fierce fifth season. Just not necessarily in terms of the fashion produced. Full recap, complete with photographic evidence of the various atrocities, after the jump.

Project Runway Goes Back to the Beginning

Project Runway, S04 E13: Finale Pt. 2

Previously on Project Runway: Rami and Chris had a last minute designer showdown (and oh, how I wish it was held at high noon in the middle of Bloomingdale’s), with Rami’s draping beating out Chris’s gothic wonders. This week: the final designers show and a winner is crowned at last.
