The Problem With Chris
Chris March emerged as an early fan favorite right from the very first episode as we watched him huff and puff his way across Bryant Park. His affable nature, easy style and sense of humor have helped offset what has turned out be a very serious season of Project Runway. So it was no big surprise when most cheered his unexpected return in...
Amanda's Take
KP writes:Dear Amanda,I have been greatly perplexed by why the PR models so rarely smile, especially when walking the runway in the contestants' designs?!The contrast between the "real women" episode last week was particularly remarkable, when most of the real women not only "worked" the runway with pivots and hip action, but also smiled...

Ask The Fashion Professor
Dear Professor CadyThank you for taking questions from Project Runway viewers. My question is this:How realistic is it to expect designers to be able to make flawless samples of their designs? Is this common in the fashion world? Or, are there sample makers associated with most designers and design houses that perform the execution?Secondly,...

Poll - Who Will Go To Fashion Week?
At the beginning of Project Runway Season 4, with nothing to go on but instinct and hype, you told us who you saw going to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in February. You selected Jack Mackenroth, Rami Kashou, Christian Siriano and Victorya Hong as the likely final four. As we now know, Jack self-eliminated due to an illness but three of your...

Katy's Take
Season 4: Episode 5 “What’s the Skinny”I loved the concept of this challenge and it was definitely the best episode of the season so far (and not at all because of the drama with Jack and Chris)! It’s a topic that almost everyone can really relate too and we can all look up to and respect these women for what they’ve accomplished. Also, wouldn’t...

BPR Interview With Steven Rosengard
Anyone who remembers Steven Rosengard's audition from the Season 3 Road To The Runway special would never guess that he posessed such incredibly crisp wit. He brought much needed levity to the Parsons workroom in Season 4 where he not only showed off his talent for design, but also his good nature. Steve checks in with BPR and shows us that...

Here is an interesting look "Behind the Seams" at the filming of the show. Newsday goes out on a limb with their predictions for the final three....
Amanda's Take - Episode Five
Here is yet another episode without the models! We have women who have recently lost a significant amount of weight and that is definitely to be admired. I liked this challenge and it was interesting to see the transformations of the outfits. (Some of the re-worked outfits didn't look like they used much of the original materials at all!)...

Jay and The Manolo!
We always look forward to these two. First, The Manolo:From the beginning it was good. Witness the moment when the models were paired with the designers. As the choices were made, some of the designers (Elisa in particular) seemed truly happy to meet the model, while others (Jillian, Christian, Victorya) could only manage the most forced of smiles. Such marvelous suffering on the faces of such shallow peoples!And joy of all joys,...

Your confidence and determination have served you well each episode but this time you brought your hip aesthetic to the everyday woman.

You quickly created a fresh look with innovative horizontal...
