There are designers from all over the country and world representing an array of backgrounds, design experience, and ideas. That prize money is significantly more than the $100,000 on the original series, so it's going to be a fierce competition with money like that on the line. But there are also 16 brand new contestants vying for the chance to win.Īccording to Bravo, the prize package this year includes $250,000, a feature in Elle magazine, $50,000 for their design studio, and a CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) mentorship with an established pro in their field. They've since been replaced by model Karlie Kloss, who's stepping into Klum's role as host, fashion designers Christian Siriano - who's taking over for Gunn - and Brandon Maxwell, and former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth. On the judging/hosting/mentoring side, longtime cast members Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, and Zac Posen all left the show after the series moved from Lifetime to Bravo. I’ll keep watching.The designers aren't the only new faces on the new season of Project Runway. And I did generally like the designs tonight. I like that “real women” see part of the regular model lineup. I always found the “real women” challenge on the original pretty offensive. I do like that they’re including more diverse models and designers. Overall, the show was better than I was expecting, but it’s not as good as it was with Tim and Heidi. Maybe once he gains a little experience as a mentor he’ll be better. ![]() The trailer for the season made it seem like he would be the sassy gay designer making semi-rude comments to his mentees. He wasn’t as bad as I was expecting though. Christian didn’t seem very confident as a mentor, and he’s definitely no Tim Gunn. Bravo's Project Runway Season 17 winner Jhoan 'Sebastian' Grey recently reached a major (we mean major) milestone in his career: The fashion designer presented his first New York Fashion Week. I don’t know how I would’ve voted if i was a judge though.Īs far as the show goes, I don’t know. In terms of design, I think cavanagh had a more coherent look that was better constructed, but there was no creativity at all in it. I was stressed cavanagh would stay because the producers were clearly setting her up to be the bitchy villain of the season. In terms of who I’d rather watch each week, Frankie is definitely the better choice to stay. “My garment was flattering and had detail, while other garments … were thrown together without thought.” Then came this last dig: “I’m so ready to wash my hair and to sleep on a real bed with a real pillow.” Malan Breton - one of the most successful PR alumni, though the show had little to do with it. John worked as a Training Manager for Marc Jacobs for many years and is now Operations Manager at Fendi. “I wasn’t expecting to ho home on the first challenge,” she said. Heidi now has a bridal line under her married name, Heidi Elnora. ![]() While Cavanagh was a good sport about her elimination, she also took the opportunity to defend herself. When Cavanagh’s look hit the runway, she admitted that she wasn’t feeling “too hot” about it, worrying that it might be too “basic.” Meanwhile, Frankie “felt sick” by how poorly her design turned out, as she hoped the judges might see past her “construction issues.” Despite Karlie telling Frankie that the judges have questions about her “taste level,” she remained in the game and Cavanagh was sent packing. Winning this first challenge really shows the contestants and the judges that I have a point of view, I have good taste and I’m definitely one to watch out for in this competition.”Īs for the season’s first bottom two - Cavanagh Baker and Frankie Lewis - I wish I could say I was surprised. “I feel very honored, but I’m also kind of shocked. “I was not expecting this at all,” she admitted. “It felt like any of us could be wearing that.” In addition to having her design manufactured and sold online, Tessa also received immunity in next week’s challenge. “We felt that we could identify with your look,” Nina told her. ![]() Though she feared her look might be a little too “minimal” compared to the other designers’ creations, Tessa Clark ended up nabbing the season’s first win. The Irrational Recap: Alec’s Church-Bombing Investigation Suffers a Terrible SetbackĪs if the designers weren’t stressed enough already, a new twist (of sorts) was introduced midway through the challenge: In addition to the outfit selected by the judges, a second designer’s creation (as voted by the show’s viewers on Instagram) would also be produced on-demand by Nineteenth Amendment and available for purchase on.
