After reading recommendations on here, my boyfriend and I just finished watching our first season together (10) and we both loved it. Great cast with memorable personalities, loads of drama, and ruthless judging. The fashion was good too but we definitely prioritize the reality TV aspects above all else. Based on that criteria, what seasons would you recommend we move onto next?

Which season of All Stars had the most talented designers?

just finished PR season 4. I think this season will be the one that I compare all the past and upcoming seasons against. I have been thoroughly impressed with the cast this season. In terms of talent, they have been so professional, creative and the execution of their designs has been outstanding. I was always impressed by the skills Laura (Season 3) showed in her designs. They were impeccably tailored. Aside from the talent in this group, they were some of the NICEST people. They cared for each other, they actually pitched in when a fellow contestant was going through a tough situation. The kindness they showed to Jack when he left due to illness was so sweet. When Chris returned they honestly seemed happy he was back! They didn’t feel threatened by each others talent, in fact they used it to elevate their own game. I wonder if Jeffrey (S 3) would have even made it to the final 3 in this season. He was caustic. Sadly there was only one winner. In previous seasons they each would have been the winner. I liked them all, each collection was unique. That being said I would still all these years later wear anything Jillian created.

Not just with them including plus-sized models, where it seemed like a trend that whenever assigned a plus-sized model we'd get a scary bad design from a person who had never designed for that body type but in other aspects as well. For example, if Erin had been placed with a Caucasian model in season 15 she almost certainly would not have been able to create so many outfits in yellow and the lighter color palatte she gravitated towards. I remember in season 14, Han Miao and Edmond wanting to use yellow on a garment but didn't because how pale their model's skin tone was. I think this happened with Zulema also in season 2 where her color palatte was a cream/white color mainly and she had such a pale model the entire time so they never looked all that good.

In addition, some of the models were commercial looking models and some were editorial looking (and body types) which also is going to determine what kinds of outfits would look better and not so good.

And at the end of the day, some of the models just had stronger looks in general. I think Keith won the first challenge of season 3 mainly because how good his outfit looked on Nazri in specific. Similarly, there was a model named Hannah in 14 (the one who they couldn't make the yellow outfit for) who was ALWAYS in the bottom 2, literally every week she was there. I thought she was gorgeous but with her skin tone and hair color I can imagine finding colors appropriate for her was a big challenge.

Ideally, I think the designers should have had a catalog of models they could choose from each week and they decide based on who they would fit their design the best. Of course, though, that would require probably longer than one day challenges as the designers calling up the model's agencies and booking them would take a chunk of time out of their work day.

1. Tim Gunn: Obviously number 1, I think the show was so amazing largely because of him. He took such an interest in the designers and helping them develop their craft, was the sweetest guy and just was amazing in every way. He also was so unintentionally hilarious at times, just phenomenal in every way!
2. Nina Garcia: She's kind of interesting as I didn't love her at the beginning. She just seemed kind of cold and her comments weren't super helpful in the first few seasons. In general, she seemed to have no real interest in being there and seemed like one of those "just doing it for the paycheck judges." She really grew into her role though and I ended up loving her by the end.
3. Heidi Klum: She's the opposite of Nina Garcia. The first couple seasons (especially the first) I loved how invested she'd get into the designers. Starting around season 6, she just became "the host" and was fine but no real invested interest in her/didn't show a lot of personality. Than I didn't care for at all later on when it seemed like she tried to play this huge over the top persona and was so obsessed with wanting to be known as the "mean judge", it was like she got upset by the fact that people thought of her as the nice judge.
4. Michael Kors: Similar to Heidi, I liked him a lot more in the early seasons. He seemed to be the one to give the most insightful and helpful feedback. He than started to play a character I feel like and tried to be more "clever" in the wording of his judging and it just became annoying to watch.
5. Christian Siriano: He grew into his role as the seasons went on a bit more but in general I don't think he was a great mentor. He never seemed to build any kind of repor with the designers beyond the basic and his ego was a bit much at times. Still, he was okay but definately I think should stick to being a great designer and not teaching design.
6. Brandon Maxwell: He was fine. He was kind of flat which I thought at first meant he wasn't the nicest person but the more I watched I think he's just a more introverted type, he had a couple soft, sweet moments. His feedback was fine but nothing profound. The cutest judge so there's something.
7. Zac Posen: Fun fact but I had a friend who worked as a model who never watched PR and was SHOCKED to find out that Zac was one of the meaner judges on the show and not well-liked by Tim Gunn at all as apparently he's delightful in real life. IDK, maybe he got nicer with age because he was a jerk on the show and the fact him and Tim didn't get along makes me just dislike him more. His feedback actually wasn't terrible, just he tried to be annoyingly snarky with it but at least there was some value to what he said. I also thought it was odd that he felt the need to touch all the garments, NOT because I think it was disrespectful to the models (that's what they're there for), but because he'd feel all around it and make zero real comments after examining it super closely, didn't really understand what he was doing. Why are you fully critiquing the outfit and than thoroughly examining it after the fact?
8. Karlie Kloss: I should have known the moment that the judges were sharing their heartfelt stories about their past that Karlie's was "I was so awkward as an 8th grader walking my first fashion show as a model" that she was a total dud. She loved the emphasize the fact she was tall, which seemed to be her really only "personality" trait. Not that a lot of judges on these shows aren't on them just to collect a paycheck and get their names out there more but could you at least be a little less obvious about it?
9. Elaine Welteroh: Not only was her feedback not helpful, it was so obviously slanted against designers she liked or didn't like. Annoying, quite rude, and her judging actually actively took away from the integrity of the competition.

Brand new project runway fan here! I just binged season 20 & I’m almost done with season 19 & I’m obsessed. I’m planning on working backwards but I was curious if anyone had a ranking of their top favorite seasons or any I should skip!?

So I just recently started watching project runway because I love fashion design, I decided to start with the first season back in 2004. I was liking it so far but then I got to one episode where they had to try to get the attention of an older gentleman that I think was like a fashion designer. Anyway, it was the swimsuit challenge and they were literally parading the young models in front of him. It was really gross, he was definitely checking them out and a few of the models were only sixteen. He even says something like, "I probably shouldn't look at her ass while the camera is watching me right?" Then proceeded to try to block the camera with his hand, while still staring at the model (who btw literally told this man she was only sixteen). Anyway I was pretty disgusted by this pedo behavior so I stopped watching the episode but I was wondering if the later seasons get any better? I don't have Netflix, I want to watch next in fashion but any recommendations for similar shows if it doesnt get any better would be appreciated too. I love RuPaul's drag race and Dragula too.

To die for! Michelle’s was Phenomenal! Irina’s was Spectacular but I thought Dmitry should have won.

You know those "what two clips give off the same energy?" Prompts?

I just realized that Tim Gun and C-3PO have the same energy.

I'm sorry if this has been disgust elsewhere. And also my main takeaway from season 6 was how half the cast had the same exact nose. Also Logan yum but damn definition of thought.

Every other reality show I can think of has an active fandom Wiki page, or at the very least a fully updated one. Why is Project Runway's so sparse and outdated? Can I just not find the right one? It feels so odd because I've seen so much less popular shows with far more robust Wikis. Can we get on that as a community lol

Who do you think would make a good couple?

I’ll start: Ryan Anthony and Sean Kelly.

With official word that a new season is on the horizon and after hijacking another thread I thought it would be interesting to see what others want in the new season.

My List

1. Constant judging- I want the judges to follow the brief and judge based on that. If they want over the top that should be in the brief.

2. Seamstresses- in the real world designers would have to be able to work with seamstresses to get their designs made.

3. Pattern grading- have designers do their design based on the brief and then get their models’ measurements. Have a professional grader on hand to help.

4. A season long budget- I would like to see them be given a set amount of money and have to pay not just for their fabric and notions but also the people in 2 & 3. Top 3 get their money back plus extra, safe get their money back, bottom 3 get nothing back. When you run out of money you are eliminated.

These are among my top two favorite spans of 3 seasons. What are your top two favorite spans of 3 seasons?

First time watching all the seasons and I can't believe Emilio Sosa didn't won! They ROBBED him! I also can't believe they picked Seth's mediocre line inspired by nazi uniform. I can't handle this absurd finale alone hence the post haha

Can someone summarize? I don’t feel like listening to the Really Famous podcast (not really a podcast person, more into music and reading). But I am reading his memoir soon so I hope to get some tea about it.

I used to like Alyssa Milano as actress but on project runway all stars, she is so annoying. It almost make me don't wanna watch the show. He attitude is no the best and her comments are just so dumb and is obviously that she has favorites. I don't understand how they let her be the host so mamy seasons, now that I am on Season 7, just see her face makes me mad lol. Does this happen to soemone else or is just me?

where can i find full length runway shows without watermark? like atelier versace and stuff. i need help. thanks. on youtube there are only watermarked vids need if for a school project

I’ve had a stressful time in my life and I’ve binge watched many seasons. I’m concerned if I’m spiraling down a reality TV path again but I do enjoy this show. Why do you like this show?

I’m currently binging Project Runway and season hopping. It was a joy watching The Juniors and I saw where Tim Gunn said that he loved working with the youth as appose to the uninspired adults of season 14.

I watched season 14 out of pure curiosity and he was right. The fashions were downright wretched. I love how Ashley shined a light on the plus sized community, but other than that, it was boring. The collections were embarrassingly tacky and amateur.

I WANT TO SEE THE LOOKS!

I enjoyed season 20, but I know that there are some other seasons that really brought it fashion wise. The only drama I care to see, is on the runway! I’m over these seasons like 16 with the gimmicky casting, petty fights and BS to distract from the lackluster looks.

Please tell me your favorite seasons-fashion wise. No spoilers. Please don’t tell me who won, nor your fave that got eliminated. Just describe the looks. Thanks.

One of the few posters I was able to find

Hello everyone!

Recently, I asked you whether you'd like to dive into deep waters of PR's Russian version (https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectRunway/comments/1g45ka0/project\_runway\_russia\_my\_way/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button)

Several comments expressed same thoughts of «I didn't even know it existed, the hell?» I guess it's more of a «yes» so let's start!

Remember that one time when S18's Victoria mentioned watching a dubbed Russian version of Project Runway? She most certainly talked about MTV Russia's dubbing that aired in late '00s-earliest '10s. The first seasons were a big hit, so many were waiting for OUR version which was set to premiere around the same time dubbed version of S8 was coming to an end, late 2011. And... it was awful. Low ratings, terrible editing, bizarre judging — everything was there out and loud!

As you can see on the poster, there were 15 designers competing for a faaaabulous prize package which consisted of:

• A photoshoot for ELLE Russia magazine;
• A participation in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia in spring of 2012;
• Some SONY equipment, including Sony Tablet;
• A capsule collection of casual wear for Bosco Sport, which would be worn by Russian athletes during the London 2012 Olympics.

No cash prizes. No cars (even though Mercedes-Benz WOULD be prominent in the season). Not even a photoshoot for a winning model. Cool, right?

Before I bring up our D-list Tim and Heidi, let me mention our two permanent judges: Elena Sotnikova, editor-in-chief of ELLE Russia, and Leonid Alexeev, a rather known young designer (who, after the show, went on to work for design department of Ministry of Defence, and then left it and created a lux brand of men's clothing called House of Leo). To say they were obnoxious and rude is to say nothing. In general, until the 6th or 7th episode, you wouldn't guess who's on top and how's on bottom before private discussions. They would roast ALL SIX designers on this runway.

And, finally, the crap of the crop: Anna Sedokova and Pavel Kaplevich, our host and mentor. Anna is not a model, she's a singer/presenter. Her taste level is almost as questionable as Heidi's so they are even there. But trust me, almost everything she says comes off as insincere. Pavel is NOT a fashion person as well. He's a well-known artist who works in theatre creating decorations, backgrounds etc. So yeah, not really a Tim person.

If you want to know how designers only had one model fitting per challenge 2 hours before the runway, how they had to make icon-inspired lingerie and then forced to turn it into outfits for opera, how designers fully called out judges' favouritism, how they brought back two people at final FIVE for no reason... Let me know!

P. S. I'll try my best to upload photos which give you an understanding of outfits but their camera men and editors are awful. While model walks, you see 15 seconds of judges and designers and roughly 4 seconds of model herself. Oh, and they only named designers and models during runway on episode 2 and nowhere else. Not a single description bar in the wild.

All were good. Who were your favorites?

Soooo many seasons have a challenge related to the client being an “on the go corporate working woman”. I know not everyone works an office job, but they act like being a working woman is a revolutionary thing lol.

I’m fairly new to project runway, never watched it when it initially aired. I’m now on my second rewatch of season 12 and I feel super annoyed with Alexandria from the start. What is the general consensus on her? Because she is soft-spoken, she initially appears unproblematic, but her commentary really gets under my skin (especially considering how weak her designs are throughout the season). I’m just not a fan and I don’t get how she made it so far 😖

This summer I posted about meeting Valerie from S8 and buying one of her jumpsuits. Just wanted to give an update that I absolutely love it. I have received a compliment from a stranger each time I’ve worn it out. I find the clothes on her store to be beautiful and fashion-forward and reasonably priced so if you liked her style on the show, I recommend taking a look!

One pro: lifetime warranty for clothes One con: it took forever for my order to order to arrive
