I just finished season 14 & the first thing I did was search this sub to see the general opinion on the winner & I have to say, I’m sort of surprised!

In my opinion, I think Edmund deserved the win. But I loved Ashley’s collection too! I was expecting to see a lot of Edmund vs Ashley in this sub but I wasn’t expecting to see so many people who thought Kelly should’ve won. I loved Kelly as a person but I really did not like her collection. She had some fun & unique pieces, but most of her collection looked cheap & costumey in my opinion. It’s wild to me that so many people think she should’ve won over Ashley!

Also, hearing about what Tim Gunn has said after Ashley’s win really rubbed me the wrong way. Regardless of his feelings, the comments he made about her collection were incredibly unprofessional & I can only imagine how Ashley felt when she heard it. Poor girl.

PS—why did they stop doing reunions?! I live for a good reunion

I recall there was an episode where a contestant bought rabbit fur. Tim said PR was fur free show and allowed the contestant to shop again to replace the rabbit fur. However, multiple contestants across seasons have used leather without issue. Is it incosistent or even hypocritical for PR to ban fur but allow leather?

I'm currently re-watching S16, and I genuinely forgot just how insanely obnoxious the twins are. The co-dependency, the undeserved arrogance, the constantly running everywhere and knocking things over. JUST WHY?

I think they're hands down the most irritating PR contestants of all time to me. Is there someone worse that I'm forgetting?

Did Sean Kelly ever end up making his accessory for Red Robin employees? I looked it up recently and can’t find any information on it….

Side note: the prize pack on season 13 was so lackluster compared to season 12 😅 I almost felt bad for the designers of s13

who skips the final runways and winner announcements? I love the challenges, workroom drama, Tim’s walk-throughs, the runways, and critiques. So once the final twist before the runway is given and they receive their mini-collection critiques, I skip to the next season. Anyone else?

Hello! Where can I buy to watch the full length, original cut Project Runway episodes to consume digitally? I don't want a DVD option, I'd like to own them digitally. Is there an option for this anywhere?

Recently re-watched this episode where Andrea, after an uncomfortable confrontation with team partner Christopher on the runway, just ups and leaves in the middle of the night. The rest of the contestants seem genuinely stunned that she would leave the competition like that. I'm just wondering if she ever tried to explain herself in any interviews? I really can't find anything online. I suspect she was probably humiliated about how she came off when Christopher expressed his frustrations to the judges, and she tried to gaslight him. Still, she was a middle-aged woman who should have been mature enough to wait until the next day to tell Tim and the contestants she was leaving. I see that she is still teaching part-time at Parsons.

Who does she resemble? I can't place it, but I really feel she looks like someone! Is it Julie Fox?

The ep was a Marie Claire challenge and they had to make a party dress. The top was between Sonjia and Helen. Isaac and Nina bickered about whose dress would hold up better in the future. Isaac said Sonjia and Nini thought Helen. Nina/Helen won, but IMO I loved Sonjia’s dress now and thought Helen’s looked dowdy and sad.

Does anyone else wish the show would have included more snippets/interactions with the designers on things like the sewing and design techniques that the designers are doing, their process for sketching, what the machines in the Brothers sewing room do. Maybe because I’m a new sewist as of a few months ago, but I’ve been watching the show with a new lens and want to see what the actual techniques are that they’re doing to make their final piece.

It is hard to think of something that hasn’t already been done. How about Disney characters, specifically the animated Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy etc.?

Did anyone know she had a preventative double mastectomy prior to Project Runway getting started?

I loved them all. How about you?

Did you think Gretchen was a bully. She was very hurt when Tim called her that. I’m going to rewatch the episode he was referring to. Ivy was a little bitchy at times.

What’s your favorite season just based off the group of the designers and why?

Not long after the season her husband passed away leaving her with 6 boys to raise. She is my choice for ‘most admired’ designer.

I'm rewatching Season 4 and this teenage girl is having her prom dress designed by Christian Siriano and she's complaining that she doesn't like the design. I wonder how that 17 year old feels now to have had a Christian Siriano design for her Prom dress.

So he said his inspiration was 1940’s Germany. However one thing I don’t see being discussed is how in season 7s finale they were in charge of their own model casting. Seth chose all white models for his collection. That with the inspiration leaves a pretty poor taste in my mouth. How did no one say anything? He was the only designer to choose all white models as well.

They could be brother and sister. Their accents are the same.

This was a team challenge. Dmitry and Elena were on the same team and she let him have it! He had to be in control and he couldn’t make anything but a black dress according to Elena. She has a reputation for being difficult so it kind of makes sense that she lashed out at him to steer the conversation away from her own bad behavior.

Oh the irony😂

There was an episode (I’m not sure which season) where two designers at JUDGING (on the runway) had to compete against each other in a sudden death type challenge in order to go on to the next round. It was definitely very late into the season. I believe it was one female contestant and one male contestant. They were asked to alter the designs they had just created in order to move on to the final four or three I think. I cannot figure out what episode this was. Does anyone remember what I’m referring to?
