It’s been a while since we last went back-to-school shopping, but that shift from summer to autumn still reminds us of trolling the aisles of CVS for Trapper Keepers, cardboard folders, and pencils. But we weren’t after just any old school supplies–it had to be all Lisa Frank, all the time. Lisa Frank may have Read more →

Are you ready for drama, scheming, and Heidi Klum‘s legs? We hope so because Project Runway, the design show that everyone loves to hate is in its tenth season–and it premieres tonight. Hard to believe that it’s been 10 seasons, right? It seems like only yesterday that we were asking ourselves about Tim, “Who IS Read more →
Project Runway‘s 10th ‘Anniversary’ Party, celebrating the show’s impending tenth season (and eighth year), felt a lot like a reality TV high school reunion. Held under the Chelsea Market Overpass at New York’s High Line Park last night, the event saw throngs of contestants and coaches from all nine seasons reuniting sans air conditioning on what was the hottest night of the year so far.
“I’m grateful for this jacket because I am soaking wet underneath!” a totally non-drippy-looking Tim Gunn confided in us–we took his word for it. The designer mentor kept mum about PR‘s newly added therapy component, saying only, “you’ll just have to watch!” The flawless-as-ever Heidi Klum, whose petite mother was on hand passing her daughter glasses of water garnished with lime, was also mysteriously un-sweaty. Maybe supermodels really don’t have pores?
The controversy over Ralph Lauren’s Chinese-produced Team USA uniforms has raised a bigger question in the fashion community: Is making affordable clothing in America a feasible option for any designer? That was the hot issue for some of the designers and fashion personalities who attended the Project Runway 10th Anniversary Party held in Chelsea last night–and while most agreed that the Team USA uni production ideally should’ve happened domestically, the empathetic laments about the cost (and feasibility) of producing locally proved to be a common thread.

One of the greatest outrages in television history may be Mondo Guerra losing to Gretchen Jones in season eight of Project Runway. (Second only to My So-Called Life getting cancelled, of course.) It turns out Heidi Klum fought “until the bitter end” for the designer, and it was Jessica Simpson was ultimately got in the way of a Mondo victory.
Project Runway‘s getting a new retail partnership for its 10th season; but in a way, they’re going back to the beginning. After six seasons of e-tail partnerships with Bluefly and then Piperlime, they’re going with Lord & Taylor. As you may recall, the show’s original retail sponsor when we still watched it it was on Bravo, was another department store–Macy’s. Clearly, the show is eager to go back to the old formula, and having a department store sponsor–as opposed to an e-commerce one–could be a part of that.
A retail sponsorship with Project Runway means a few things, but mainly that, throughout the season, contestants (who don’t have meltdowns and leave) will choose pieces from the Lord & Taylor accessory wall to complete their looks and that the winner of the contest will have their collection sold by the retailer.
Not unlike her dedication to putting fashion first when it came to her height difference from Tom Cruise, Holmes kept her commitment to taping a guest judge spot on Project Runway: All Stars yesterday, despite having filed for divorce from her husband of six years on Friday.
More than just a celebrity who dresses (herself and her daughter) well, Holmes is making a name for herself in the fashion biz with the label she designs with her stylist: Holmes & Yang, which sells at Barneys.

We took a look at some of the top street style trends at menswear fashion week and made them work for the girls. We wouldn’t recommend that Nazi-inspired look that’s been trending, though…
