Fashionista 2008: Who Should Judge Project Runway?

Dec 23, 2008 @ 12:34pm

victoria beckham posh spice judges project runway.jpg In keeping with sacred internet tradition, we give you the first of Fashionista’s end-of-year lists: Who Should Have Judged Project Runway?

Britt:

1. Isaac Mizrahi: Because, duh.

2. Behati Prinsloo: Because having a model challenge would be genius and Behati’s witty, smart, young and if they need a more commercial angle, she’s the face of Pink. Actually, they should have Behati and Coco do it together. I hardly watch the show anymore, but I’d find a TV for them.

3. Chris Benz: Because he might be the closest thing our generation has to Isaac Mizrahi (I know, but Zac guest judged during Season 4).

Natalie:

1. Isaac Mizrahi: Because this man should have a camera and a stenographer following him at all times.

2. Madonna: Because no one could tear young hopefuls down as thoroughly as Madge, and isn’t that what reality fashion television is all about?

3. Meredith Melling-Burke: Because as arguably one of the most powerful market editors on the planet, she could actually give the contestants useful criticism/information. And she’s really pretty, too (good TV).

And yours?

How is Chris Benz "the closest thing our generation has to Isaac Mizrahi"?

Dec 23, 2008 1:23PM

1. The Olsens...because they seem to know everything about building empires
2. Amy Astley...shed be good for a younger girl challenge like previous season prom challenges
3. Phillip Lim...because hes amazing
4. Kimora Lee Simmons...because she doesnt have a filter between her brain and her mouth and has a knack for commerciality

Loved that VB and SJP were guests previously, i think they both showed immense fashion knowledge, and did very well.Here are the ones i would love to see in the future:

1.The Olsen Twins because they know who they are when it comes to style, and i appreciate that, even though their fashion sense aint my cup of tea.

2.Daphne Guinness, the woman is a goddess that knows what a good garment should look like.

And yes Isaac Mizrahi, i always thought it was stupid to pick Michael Kors for a regular, because Isaac is so much more wittier and fun.

1. Alexander Wang...Duh

2. Mary Kate Olsen...Because she is more fun than Ashley!

3. Yigal Azrouël...Because He was never formally trained in fashion design. and his designs are so classic and chic!

4. Carine Roitfeld/Julia Restoin Roitfeld ...because mother daughter tag teams rock!

...And to guest at 1:23 Kimora Lee Simmons, I would rather see host ANTM, cuz Ty Ty baby is buggin me these days! plus she's horrible!

To have a male prescience, I suggest designer Michael Bastian. He was formerly the men's wear director at Bergdorf.

they need to do more menswear challenges because i think it literally seperates the men from the boys...

Dec 23, 2008 2:23PM

Lagerfeld, Wintour, Roitfield, Lanphear.
Because it would make for good TV.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Rachel Zoe or Victoria Beckham would be great.

I do love Nina Garcia and Tim Gunn though ;)

Dec 23, 2008 5:11PM

yes to behati!! and coco too. Genius idea.

Dec 23, 2008 5:52PM

Proenza Shouler's Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough

why would any of these people want to be judges on the show?

if this past season was any indication of the level of talent, it would be wasting time.

Dec 23, 2008 11:30PM

ANNA WINTOUR! Can you IMAGINE? It would be like that one scene from The Devil Wears Prada, but better.

Lagerfeld would be right up there too.

I AGREE WITH LALA (GUEST 5) Daphne Guinness!!!!!!!!!!!

Dec 24, 2008 11:13AM

Hamish Bowles - the most stylish man at CN!

Dec 24, 2008 12:23PM

Yes yes to Daphne Guinness!

Dec 24, 2008 3:44PM

PR is getting rather pathetic; as such, I wouldn't be shocked if Whitney Port made a guest appearance.

Well since the Queen Michael Kors and Nina what's her face have been on there. I quit watching the show.
Anyone would be an improvement to me. I do luv Tim Gunn thol.
