10 Questions for Project Runway...

Jan 24, 2008 @ 9:01am

10. Omigosh, will every challenge be a commercial? Thanks Levis, but we're still obsessed with Chip + Pepper.

9. Is Victorya playing mind games with Sweet Pea by calling her Kit? Or is it just exhaustion?

8. Ricky, did Oscar de la Renta really let you sew like that? Come on now.

7. Can an all-denim outfit look not trashy?

6. Nevermind, can I have Sweet Pea's bandeau dress?

5. Why so many trench coats? Are there no flashers at Parsons?

4. Ricky, stop crying - can we please introduce you to our friends, Zoloft, Prozac, and Ecstasy?

3. What, besides the crack, is so inspiring about Amy Winehouse?

2. Flash-forward to next week's episode: How excited are we about the kids making wrestling costumes?

1. Have you gotten your invite to Victorya's Fashion Week show yet? Keep a lookout, it's coming!

The show should be called 'Project Ricky' - it's as if the judges were just waiting for him to bloom the whole time.

I totally agree splendini. I'm so sick of Ricky! Wah wah.

And I agree about the Winehouse comment - I'll give kors the benefit of the doubt since these were filmed before her major meltdown?? maybe...

Ricky's dress was cheap looking especially with those hideous boots he paired it with, though I'm glad Victorya is gone, but Ricky should NOT be there. NO NO NO.

Ricky is definitely a bit unstable, but I liked his design. Amy Winehouse, pre-crack, was definitely an exemplification of what people love about 1960's fashion.
So if Ricky drew some inspiration from her revival of the look I don't think it really had too much to do with "Amy Winehouse" the brand.

Sweet Pea's dress was the best. Totally embodying everything I love about the '70's and the construction was beautiful. I almost forgot it was made of denim.

I hate Rami!!!!

Christian needs to leave the jackets alone for a while. I attend FIT and the whole jacket thing that he keeps doing is sooo "typical desing student".

I laughed hysterically when I saw Victorya's trench, because I knew instantly that she was going home. Perhaps this is some kind of design karma coming back to her for the way she treated Ricky on their team challenge.

Jillian was tired and I think that explains why she didn't come up with something better. But I still love her.

I hate Rami!!!!!!!!

Horrible thought last night - is Ricky the unnamed third finalist? Is he going to be the Wendy Pepper of this season? Please no!

I didn't think Jillian's was so bad. She shouldn't have been in the bottom two. And Ricky should not have won.
I usually like Christian, and I did like his design last night, but he was super annoying.

there never was such a thing as "amy winehouse pre-crack" - that girl had the same cracky problems she has now before she got famous. the only difference about her 5:30 a.m. exploits is that now everyone can watch them via tmz.

and she probably is so fashion "inspiring" because she doesn't emulate the boring look of the legging/jersey/headband sheep herders Lauren Conrad/Lindsay Lohan/Hayden Pane-whatever...

Hi Fashionista loves... just one note:

Can you please please stop giving away so many Project Runway spoilers? It really kind of sucks to have the show be ruined in advance (see #2)-- I had no idea what the challenge was, and now no surprise. Thanks.

Also, with yesterday's weak spoiler alert... if you're going to list SPOILER, give it a few more lines before you go ahead and blab everything... so ANNOYING.

Sorry to grouse, but I love the site too much for you to keep harshing my PR mellow... otherwise, I might have to skip ALL of your PR posts!

7. Can an all-denim outfit look not trashy?

I think this is unlikely.

Ricky should have been kicked off weeks ago. Ugh.

Alas, Fashionista is a fashion news site. It's a responsibility to break news and it's also quite fun to scoop all the big outlets... you're welcome to skip any posts you want.

Memo to Ricky: mesh hats suck.

I hate Ricky, but I hate Rami even more. Seriously, he might be more talented than Ricky, but Rami is a big douchebag. I can't believe the way he treated Sweet P an episode or 2 back. And I don't even understand why he is on PR in the first place.

I mean, hello, he is represented by a reputable showroom. He has been sold at places like Intermix and Le Train Bleu. He has been worn by celebrities like Lindsay Lohan. IMO he is ruining his already established career! I would never wear one of his designs now. I just can't stand him and almost feel like he is cheating because of how established he was before he went on the show. I would love it if he lost a spot in the top 3 to Ricky!

Team Jillian!
She seems to have the most honed design aesthetic of the bunch.

I love your spoilers! More please -- like, how did they go from 5 contestants on February 6 (next new show) to 3 on February 8?

I just assumed HWNMNBM is Rami... yes? Meaning a Christian, Jillian, and Rami final 3.

I just want to know how they get rid of Sweet P and Ricky.

Also, wish you could give more info on the Victorya meltdown. The last episode did look very edited during the last minutes.

And who's sponsoring her Bryant Park show? How can she even have a show? I would think she's under contract with Bravo.

i'm also wondering about the victorya meltdown...i would think they would include it in the show if they had that kind of drama go down (like the whole thing with keith michael). this is reality television after all.

For real? They're making wrestling outfits? Every time I go watch wrestling, there's this female wrestler who's really good, but her costume is lame, and I always tell my friends that "Project Runway" should do a challenge with her.
