FINALLY! Our Tim is back and it’s Make It Work time!

Last night was the premiere of the new season of Project Runway. We meet all 15 of the new designers and I definitely think this season will showcase the best talent yet. It’s been around long enough now, with a proven track record, that you have some relatively heavy hitters applying, trying to get some attention to their already established selves, and it shows.

Instead of making them do something with ridiculous foundations, they gather our fearless group in Bryant Park, the location they all hope to return to, triumphant, showing their own fashion line, for fashion week at the conclusion of the season. This time, they are instructed to race across the park to three tents filled with 50,000 dollars worth of top of the line fabric from Mood, then create whatever they want that shows their point of view and aesthetic. I liked this idea. Get to see what they’re really made of right off the bat.

I wanted to go through each designer, but with 15, it’s waaaay too many. I will say that there were designers themselves that I was drawn to, and work that I liked. Only occasionally did those two lists collide.

Rami wins the first challenge and Simone is the first to go. I thought Lisa, the freaky girl, was equally horrible, but I will say I was more interested to see what she’d do next than Simone, so I wasn’t unhappy with who was Out. I wasn’t as gaga over Rami’s outfit, mostly because it wasn’t flattering to the bouncing boobs of the model, but I got why they were impressed. I liked Chris’s outfit a great deal, also Jack’s, Stephen’s, and Kit’s were interesting. I understood why Christian and Victorya were chosen as top three, though they weren’t my faves.

Once we get to a more manageable level, or when I can blog as I write, I’ll MAC each of the designers. For now, I’m just thrilled my decadent little pleasure is back! Come join in the fun! Bravo only replays it a million times during the week…so catch up already!

Aaaaaaaand…..dish!

PS…Also, last chance to get in this week’s SHaQ Attack contest. Deadline is 8pm EST. See Monday’s post for details!
