Project Runway 4 - Episode 1

December 20th, 2007 | Posted by Nichole | Category: MediaNo Comments


Now, I wasn’t going to do this. Comment on individual episodes of project runway, but I saw a lot of designs in the first episode that I liked. I can’t wait to see what is coming next this season. Above are my top three. None of them made it to the top three but none of them were out either. The third one I like but I don’t think it is especially interesting. It is pretty and it looks like a dress I have in my closet. My dress has maroon accents and a square neckline but I like the blue. It looks like something I would wear if it was more modest.


I agree with the judges on the dress that was out (not pictured), but which of these dresses do you think won? One was the winner and one was in the bottom two. The gray dress won. Can you believe it? To me it looks like high fashion during the height of the Roman Empire. Can I wear it to a costume party with my date as Achilles? The blue is gorgeous and innovative. Just cut of the fabric scrap tail and you have an awesome dress. Not deserving of the bottom two at all. I loved it minus the tail.

Project Runway - Season 3

December 19th, 2007 | Posted by Nichole | Category: MediaNo Comments


First off, I will say I was so much more impressed with season 3 than with season 2 of runway. And I was thrilled with the fact that all four of those designers were chosen to go to fashion week. All four of them deserved to be there unlike both previous seasons where I felt like some of the designers should have been left behind. Above are pictures of my favorites from both Michael’s and Laura’s collections. I was rooting for Michael I think he’s great and have loved his clothing throughout the competition and his personality… but I admit I was under-impressed. Laura’s collection was predictable.


Uli and Jeffery were the top two for me as well as for the judges. I loved Uli’s collection but after a while it felt like I was seeing the same thing. Although, Uli’s collection felt the most connected from my perspective. From what I saw on the runway I do feel that Jeffery was the obvious winner as far as innovation and creativity. I still haven’t seen anyone top Jay McCarroll from season 1 though. I’m looking forward to watching season 4.

Project Runway Season 2

Can anyone say boring? That was my opinion of the season 2 finale. Chloe’s collection was okay and I loved the outfit she designed in the first picture. I think she did much better overall than the other two but was for the most part unimpressed. Surprise, surprise, I was actually looking forward to Santino’s collection. As he said at the beginning of his collection, “You either love to hate me or hate to love me.” I fall into the hate to love him category. That’s why I was disappointed in his “safe” collection. I wanted to see some fun and extreme designs. I did like his last dress especially when the model showed it off with her twirl. Can you guess who the third dress is by? Not Daniel. I thought his collection was so boring it wasn’t even worth showing any picture. Nope, it’s from Kara’s decoy collection that I found pictures of online. She definitely added some spice to that runway. I think she would have one had she been one of the finalists. I had a hard time picking my favorite from her collection. On to season 3…

Project Runway Season 1

December 9th, 2007 | Posted by Nichole | Category: MediaNo Comments


Okay, I’m going to admit it. I’ve been watching the past seasons of Project Runway ever since I read Stacy’s blog talking about the show. I honestly had never heard of it before but now I’m hooked. I finished Season 1 and am at the finale of Season 2. (Don’t tell me who wins.) I loved Season 1 and was completely blown away by Jay’s collection. I love the jacket above and the great quilted detailing on the back. (Don’t ask me how long it took to come up with a back view of the outfit.)


This is my favorite dress from the collection and I would wear it any day. Love it! I was so impressed by Season 1 and I have to tell you that Season 2 has been a disappointment. I don’t think any of the remaining designers deserve to win. I’ve been hoping Santino would get booted every episode so far. Maybe their final collections will impress me. Then I’m on to Season 3.
