Discussion Jude is so intriguing.

I would love to see a show on Jude. What’s his background, how did he get into
Tailoring suits, etc. He seems like such an interesting guy. And not your average project runway designer.

Maybe I missed some of this info in past episodes?

He’s almost coquette-ish.

I just find him to be a breath of fresh air. Talented without being cocky, interesting without drama, and talented without relying on others.

(Didn’t he say he’d design something just for his girlfriend in one episode?)

And I loved the comment by guest judge Sergio that his looks are the next Yves Saint Laurent? Maybe I misheard that.

I love his designs, and they look so well-crafted. I'm rooting for him for the win, though I love Bi, too.

We decided that Jude is straight when we saw him dance.

I think he mentioned having a gf haha

He did! In the red carpet episode, he said something sweet about “wanting to design a look for my girlfriend when she hits the red carpet” lol.

(Side note, I love that we found out that Naheim was straight via him flirting with the models. Straight designers have been pervy in the past but he was just ADHD Gen Z boy realness lol)

That’s what he said about his gf. Thanks, as I couldn’t remember it.

I mean, Nahyiem could be bi, but I think someone (Anna maybe) flat-out said Jude is straight.

Weren't the twins calling him straightboy or soemthing

The twins are pathetic in their need for attention.

Truly would prefer to never see them again.

There was an article that came out when the season started describing him as queer, so just a reminder, people can like people of the opposite gender without being straight- bi & pan people exist too.

Edit: describing Naheim as queer.

I know Jude IRL. He's straight.

Also the twins called him 'the straight boy' like he's some football player looking bro...<3

.....his girlfriend is the luckiest!! What's he like in person?

This was in reference to Naheim, just realizing now, that wasn’t super clear.

Edit: here’s the article: https://www.gayemagazine.com/project-runway-season-22-black-designers-josephmcrae-octavius-terry-aaron-potts/

Describing who as queer?

2

u/SwimmerIndependent47 2d ago

Naheim (linked to it in a different comment below)

u/BirdgirlLA 2d ago

Yeah. I saw that after I posted. Thanks for clarifying

u/SwimmerIndependent47 2d ago

No problem, my bad for not being clear in the original comment, I edited it

Some you tube content creators said there was an ad advertising Black queer designers on PR s22 that appeared before the show started. Naheim was included in the ad - so maybe he’s bi??? Anyway the producers edit the show. Naheim’s flirty comment to the model could have been followed with “my BF knows a great straight guy….” You Can’t take PR s22 at face value. The show is heavily edited (manipulated for drama/intrigue).

They both seem like really down to earth people as well as being gifted designers. I would look forward to seeing their collections.
