While I was a little disappointed by the lack of input from guest judge Matthew Williamson, this episode did offer a captivating array of both really good designs and really, really bad designs. And Anthony’s personality is hilarious enough to shake up any monotony.
1. We’re at the Met! What an incredible smattering of dresses. The Madame Gres was my favorite–fit for any red carpet from 1942 to 2002, and beyond. But more importantly, why didn’t they give us a better look at those frocks?
2. Tim, in his most heartwarming moment yet, admits that he has cried over couture. I must say that I teared up at Alexander McQueen spring 2010. Have you ever cried over the beauty of clothes?
3. Wow, $500–can they hire an assistant with some of that cash?
4. I love love love Anthony, but that dress is way too cotillion for my taste. Yet there is something about it that reminds me of Dior. Do you think the judges are too harsh on designers influenced by their southern roots?
5. I knew it! It all seemed too easy. Of course they have to create a secondary look inspired by another designer’s vision. How does one find inspiration from a bumble bee?
6. The fact that Seth Aaron doesn’t throw Anthony under the bus makes me like him even more. Who is your favorite character and who is your favorite designer?
7. Amy and Jesus did a great job, but what’s up with Project Runway designers being obsessed with pleated high collars on dresses?
8. Mila might be slacking, but that jacket is kind of amazing. Maybe even Courreges-inspired? Perfect for the Met.
9. I loved both of Jay and Maya’s looks, especially the little black get-up. Matthew was so right when he said any girl would want to wear it. Are you listening, Sienna?
10. Ping is so sweet, crazy and annoying at the same time. Despite her lack of sewing skills, she won my heart. Did she ever find her sketchbook?

Wait so Ping was aufd last night, am I right?? I was watching off and on and then missed the end of judging for some reason … I just want to say one thing about PR bringing on Avant Garde designers – like Ping, or Melvin or Ari from Season 6 – and then don’t give them an ounce of respect on the show and instead cast them as eccentric and quirky. These types of designers have a very distinct vision and aesthetic that will not bend to convention and does not fit the typical PR mold – and thus the show gets rid of such designers by the second/third episode of the season. I feel like they only invite them on the show to cast them as outcasts and to add some color to the workroom but they don’t want to deal with them for long so they auf em at their first chance. I think it’s rude and results in a lack of appreciation for fashion that is truly designed outside of the box. (haha clearly Ping won me over too!)
However best line of the night goes to Sassypantsy Anthony:
“stop acting up in front of company” (to his designer teammate when Tim Gun stopped by to consult) – looved that!

I miss the old fashionista.

there will be different writers at fashion sites and magazines, so I think that it is more respectful to offer specifics rather than just dismissing a new editor. guest #4, why don’t you explain what you miss about the old fashionista? i am pretty sure the current editors of fashionista welcome constructive criticism.

I’m sorry, but I have to agree w/ guest #2. Lauren, the effort is much appreciated but these questions are just sad. I leave these “10 questions” posts unread in my RSS reader until I can catch up on the episode on Fridays, and it ends up being a post-show downer for me.
For all the complaints people had about Abby, she was really good at making the 10 Questions for PR interesting (maybe look through those?). You are great at the investigative, businessy posts but it might be a good idea to put someone else on Proj. Runway duty.

I loved Antony’s dress and I agree, the judges were a bit too harsh. I think this season is better than the last one but doesn’t have the same interest as the show did on bravo. It seemed to move to lifetime to die.

I agree with you guest #7. The judges are just a tad too harsh these days. I think the best line was when Anthony asked the judges what he should do to improve his design and Mr. Williamson told him they couldn’t design the clothes for them. Awesome moment.

If I weren’t dead inside, I would’ve cried over Dior’s Spring 2007 HC collection. And also McQueen’s Spring 2010 RTW show. Alas, the last time I shed a tear (exactly one) was during Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire. “Who-who-who gon’ love me?” C’mon!
