Amy’s winning design

All of season seven’s designers geared up for Campbell’s AdDRESS your heart foundation last night. We were introduced to ten new women, who had all been affected by heart disease, as the designers were each assigned to one as their model. The challenge: create an evening gown look for an event for the Campbell’s program. The winner’s  design would be worn to the event and sold on projectrunway.com. As the ladies hit the runway we saw some trashy, some elegant, and a whole lot of red. Amy Sarabi took the prize with her flowy red gown, while Jesus Estrada was given the boot for his short, tight number, equip with rhinestones,  and his overall poor taste.

Project Runway contestant from both season one and season two of the show popped up at the Los Angeles auditions of American Idol last night.

Although we did not hear him sing, we did get to hear him say that he is a combination of Adam Lambert and Susan Boyle. (more…)

Okay, I lie. It’s a maternity line, but you know if you’re still battling the holiday bulge you’ve suddenly got a new set of elastic pants to default to.

Sidethought, if Heidi is now designing, does that leave any room for another “Top” designer?  Weigh in on whether anyone should care about this collection, we know Heidi has the baby making thing down to a science, but do we really need her designing?

Has New York lost it’s title of “Fashion Capital of the World”? Seems so, considering Project Runway’s new season, which returns to the Empire City lacks any homegrown New Yorkers.

Bravo is gearing up to drop another big fashion show on us, and this time it’s a documentary style show about the big time fashion photogs Markus Flinko + Indrani. (more…)

Beginning this fall, the Mayor Bloomberg will stage a his own ‘Project Runway’ to pick 12 up-and-coming designers for a new city-sponsored fashion “incubator” facility.

Former Project Runway contestant Santino Rice has been pretty busy since the show. He’s been dressing clients, designing cigarette packs for Camel, AND STARRING IN POST APOCALYPTIC GAY ZOMBIE FLICKS!!!!

That’s right kiddies, the fashion world is going gay-for-pay and Santino Rice is leading the way.

In a turn of events that can only happen in Los Angeles, the designer of one of the tackiest Project Runway collections in history is playing a homeless drifter in a movie filled with blood, boners and flesh raping zombies. According to Santino, he doesn’t have a sex scene in the film, but his bio on the films website which lists the designer as “bisexual” suggests otherwise.

Eitherway, Santino isn’t the only fashion type who makes an appearance. Madonna’s former lover/designer/antimodel Tony Ward also makes an appearance.

I’d be slightly tempted to see this if he just imitates Tim Gunn throughout the whole thing…

We’ve got photos from his guest spot in the gay film by director Bruce LaBruce and you can check out his bio on LAZombie.com.

Project Runway head host Tim Gunn told The Cut at Fashion Week that he thinks Ungaro is crazy for hiring Lindsay Lohan:

“It’s got to be a publicity stunt!” he said. “Or a crack-smoking board of directors?”

As far as her stint as a guest judge on Project Runway, Gunn was actually pleased:

“I was surprised and pleased by how extremely knowledgeable about fashion and articulate Lindsay Lohan was,” he said. “She’s very young and can be portrayed in ways that aren’t altogether flattering, and she was a true statesperson and really weighed in on the designers and what they were doing exceptionally well. And it was really a thrill to have her.”

Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige tells Fashion Wire Daily he chose Lindsay in large part because of Tim Gunn’s vote of confidence.

“His comments that she had a great sense of fashion and knew what works and doesn’t work, were pretty significant to me … This was authentic, not the paparazzi press all talking about her car accidents, or the drug things,” added Moufarrige. “To be complimented by someone like Tim Gunn was very impressive.”

So apparently, Tim Gunn is the one to blame for Lindsay Lohan being hired by Ungaro…although he claims they’re all a bunch of crackheads. haha.

With Project Runway Season Six running full steam ahead, I can’t help but reminisce on previous seasons and previous contestants, Daniel Vosovic being one of my favorites. Besides last year’s publication of Vosovic’s Fashion Inside Out: Daniel V’s Guide to How Style Happens From Inspiration to Runway and Beyond, the Project Runway Season Two veteran has kept a pretty low profile. But don’t put Vosovic to bed just yet, because come February 2010, Vosovic is slated to release his very own, eight-piece capsule collection sold exclusively on DanielVosovic.net! And if you thought Vosovic’s militaristic twinge would be back in full effect, you’re dead wrong! Inspired by his recent relapse to gymnastics and athletics, Vosovic’s collection embodies the fitted and flexible aspects so common in sports attire. I absolutely love Vosovic’s use of sheer fabrics to give certain pieces a sultry vibe, as well as immaculate structure that he made his Project Runway claim-to-fame with! Look out fashion world, the boy is back in town!

Thanks NY Mag!

Thursday night, Project Runway viewers tuned in before the premiere of the new season to see some of the most memorable contestants from past seasons battle it out for $100,000. Actress Nicole Kidman made a video appearance on the show that included the announcement that whoever wins will have their red-carpet dress worn to the premiere of her new movie “Nine.”

The designers were all quick to assume that Nicole Kidman herself would be the one wearing the dress, although it was not said who would walk the red carpet in it. Now, season two finalist and all-star champion Daniel Vosovic is making it clear that he wants Kidman in his black-and-white ensemble.

So, now the question is who exactly plans on wearing the dress? Truth be told, someone’s assistant could even be the one on the red carpet to sport it. While that would be a big blow to Vosovic, at this time, it still isn’t clear what the plans are. I guess we’ll all have to wait to see the photos from the premiere.
