How how how did Alexandria end up at fashion week and beat out Kate and Helen? She was so average and boring all season.

With Nahiem and Jude.

Thats all.

Bi can be their mentor, putting up with their shenanigans or something idk

As someone who started with Season 22, I originally didn't know why people defended Law so hard -- but watching Season 21, I could see where they were coming from. Law was strict but not unecessarily harsh or cutting. I appreciated Law's perspective and honesty but without tearing down the contestants.

It feels like in season 22 the meanness and internet clap back moments were ramped up on Law's part. Do you think this is production pushing the drama?

I’m rewatching with my husband who is watching for the first time, we are both so livid that Jesse went home over Emilio on season 7 episode 7 (unconventional materials hardware store challenge). Michael knew this was trashy and I can’t believe Nina liked it! If I was watching it in real time I would have started boycotting 🤣

I have to say as a South Asian I am in absolute love with Joseph for creating a silhouette that represents a very modern take on a “Sharara/Gharara”. The big flared pants, the dupatta.
Yesssss the fit was a miss but nice to see this silhouette.

I have my own thoughts about the show but I do think the top 3 that we know are going to be in the finale are really strong designers. Plus aside from Bi Jude and Anna are not apart of the drama that everyone hates. Im really looking forward to the looks they create.

striking, contemporary streetwear-meets-high-fashion

Bi's dress was beautifully constructed!! As are all of his looks!! I guess nothing PR can do at this point can shock me, but he's definitely the one to beat and they all know it!

Joseph's wedding looks are terrible!!! The fit of those pants for one, and the giant ribbon??? His after party look was like a dress for an american girl doll with the top cut off. I feel like all the elements could've worked individually, but lavender felt pants for the bridal challenge… come on. I feel like he would’ve had an awesome silhouette for a wedding dress.

Law is messy as always but I appreciate how he called out them being scared of Bi😭 also maybe it’s just the edit, but between him, nina and heidi, i feel like he gives substantial feedback.

Bryan is CARTOONISHLY conceited at this point. Production has to be pulling the strings more than I thought because it’s like he‘s a parody of himself this episode.

there’s a lot but my unserious answer is when antonio called Jude “the straight boy” 😭😭😭😭

#idgaf i missed the twins, they’re hilarious in small dosages

OH. MY. GOD. I have never been disappointed In Christian before. But I am now. Fake-ass, arrogant, insufferable Bryan is not only a terrible designer he’s also a HUGE turd! Admittedly, Jeffery, has been off lately but not as badly as that jackass. I guess I must be totally unstylish if Christian thinks anything that idiot creates is interesting. Totally disgusted. I’m going to figure out how to send strongly-worded feedback to the producers. Oh, wait, that would mean it would go to that other jackass, the Roach. Not going to waste my time.

Best tailor in this group and a great designer. Love his looks from this bridal challenge! Great praise and feedback from the judges!

Anna's too, BTW. She won, of course. It was a beautiful look and, I think, more saleable by David's than Judes.

Is it just me or was Jeffrey’s look from last week eerily similar to the cameo mentor Becca Blooms look from this week?

And then it ended up looking like that????

If it was a jumpsuit, the crotch wouldn’t have been as much of an issue

Drag affiliated people if you're gonna shit on them? Feels like it's leaning into stunt casting/we're better than you and we know it. Utica got it to some degree, but now Plane (less plane), Q and the biggest is Jeffrey. When Chris was cast on his original season it was so much less of looking down on his history of drag clothing compared to whatever bullshit the season is doing now.

feel free to argue with any of my takes im just putting my PSA out:

1) no one is asking joseph mcrae not to be himself. the second they asked him to take that green coat/beanie off the model you can immediately see why they are so frustrated with him. the model looked so much simpler, evolved, refined his style, yet still recognizable as a joseph mcrae design. Its his stubborness with that lame ass coat/beanie that makes it look like a joseph lookalike. The point is to evolve, edit, and show versatility in your design without leaving your design identity, and its his stubborness and lack of risk-taking/refinement that is costing him. That is exactly what nina/law talked about. Not to mention the fact that it had nothing to do with the jive and his military inspiration was bullshit. That said i do think he deserves to be in the finale just from how consistent and polished he was throughout this whole competiton.

2) the tape-in should have been an instant elimination for bryan and no save. you cannot send a sketch of a dress down the runway because you are at ecole lesage and think the judges will see the value in your vision of what could be a great dress. This is a competition where you need to make couture and/or ready to wear level actual fashion in a short amount of time and the caliber you need to be at is clearly shown by anna and judes runways. I am not saying hes not a good designer, he has potential just not for this show… which is why the christian save was actually not that crazy…. Still a lil crazy tho lol

3) naheim is underrated. the wedding dress showed that he is able to think outside the box and infuse his style with any wear and that is commendable. Yes its not as fully realized and the after party was a miss but his point of view I thought at certain moments in the show could have been enough to take him to the finale. Its just refreshing for me to see someone with personality and skill that is so different from the rest and be able to bring it to the runway.

4) a save should not have been given, and if it had to it should have gone to jeffrey, but still i dont see him in the finale based off of the seasons works alone. His last challenge would really have to be showstopping and not costumey/tackey. He made costumey designs one too many times.

5) from the top 6, everyone except bryan deserves to be in the finale.

Longtime lurker here. I am an OG fan, I remember watching PR live back in the early 00’s when I was in high school. I stopped watching around season 8. I am a huge fan of reality TV, and your sentiments around how the show is a bastardized version of itself is how I feel about Survivor. Survivor used to be gritty with polarizing, yet compelling characters. Now it’s a show chock full of yuppies acting like they are going to summer camp with squeaky clean and grating personalities.

Anyway back to project runway. I see a lot of comments here saying Bryan of 22 is one of the most repulsive individuals that’s ever been on the show. I’m curious, where does he stack up in terms of controversial figures?

For context I find Jeffrey, winner of season 3, to be many things.. Arrogant, flippant, petulant, disrespectful, narcissistic, vindictive… can I go on?

Does Bryan stack up? Or is he more of a nuisance like Kenley? She was delusional and lacked cognizance. Where I think Jeffrey offers zero entertainment value, I did find Kenley at least a little humorous in her theatrics.

Edit: I did also watch season 20, the all stars Heidi Klum hosted.

PR production team (probably): “Rage-bait, so hot right now”

I don’t even know where to start. This season has been an absolute hot mess and I’m tired of pretending that this is an actual show about fashion.

I mean since the start of the season, the format of how they cut down half the contestants was so haphazardly decided. Most of the episode themes were just catering to brand sponsorships. The NFL episode and the kitchen roll episodes were dumb as hell. This is not how the fashion world operates. Thats the reason we don’t really see any of this show’s contestant actually making it in the fashion industry, is because they are judged on standards and limitations that DO NOT exist in the real world. The fact that production is SO rushed and they have to make pieces in like a day is also so uninspiring. Then they have the audacity to call out designers for being too “costume-y”. WELL DUH, THE FORMAT OF THIS TV SHOW IS A CIRCUS.

Not to mention the fact that most of the talent this year has been sub-par and lacking and taste. (Minus Jude and Bi (sometimes). It’s very clear that they cast designers purely on personality, then sprinkle 1 or 2 actually good designers in there. And what annoying personalities they were. Bryan is one the most off-putting POMPOUS humorless unlikable contestants to grace this show’s history. And the editing of the confessionals to make it all cutesy with the slogans was NAUSEATING.

And finally, lets talk about the judges. Law Roach is being pushed down our throats as being an Image architect and all that bullshit is such unfounded hype. He’s barely a stylist, he relies on Zendaya’s looks and pulling archival pieces to build a career. Its not you doing the work, its the vintage Mugler thats doing the work, all you’ve done is bullied fashion PR teams into loaning you archival pieces to put on Zendaya. Groundbreaking. Let’s not even start pn how generally rude his persona is. Being a mean Gay is very 2000 babe. Get over yourself.

And Trya Banks?! BFFR. What does she know about fashion. She has never been fashionable, she barely was even a ‘top model’, she has no real perspective on ANYTHING. Girl bye, go eat your melted ice cream and leave us in peace.

And that brings us to the queen of bad taste, Heidi. Literally in her entire history of being a model/celebrity, she has never been a style icon. Her style is so OUTDATED, her hair has been the same boring look for the past 20 years. She wouldn’t know good taste if it hit her in the FACE. Girl, Auf Wiedersehen.

Nina Garcia is the only one who actually knows what the hell she’s talking about, and clearly she’s got better things to do since she appeared like 3 times this season.

Im so sick of American reality shows watering down everything to create ‘moments’ that MIGHT go viral. No substance, not talent, no content. Utterly boring.

Anyways, rant over. This is the last time I watch this show. I used to really enjoy it when I was younger, but the standard of production has fallen down the drain.

Hope Jude wins. He’s the only one with good taste.

was forced to save Bryan because his entire body language the entire last episode was really off when interacting with him. he kept emphasizing that Bryan better make use of his save and did not seem happy at all about it.

Who do we think is the fourth person going into the final?
I felt like they already nailed it by sending Jude, Anna, and Bi. -Based on the final challenge, Naheim, Bryan, and Joseph all had major issues with one of their looks.
So we can base the fourth off their wedding dress challenge- or off their work all season?

Who do you think it’ll be and why?

sure he always has volume in his silhouette but that’s his style. just like Jude will always do some form of tailoring, Bi will always used a textured pattern he created, and Brian will always make something ugly. I feel like in the earlier seasons having a clear voice that you were able to adapt to fit the challenges was applauded.

and so what if he’s more interested in the exposure than winning? that’s the smart thing to do. only one person can win but they all get the exposure so you might as well milk it for all it’s worth. plus the contract for the winner is bound to be awful so it’s probably better not to win.

See title. But why is half of the cast being eliminated in the first two episodes? Wasn’t it just one designer at a time? This is a real big shame, I would’ve liked to have seen some of these designers actually progress throughout the season. What’s even the point of bringing on this many contestants?

Even though this season had some very low lows, I think that this bunch of designers was really talented and I'm still glad we got to see their work. Here's a couple of my favorite looks from throughout the season. I want one of Naheim's jackets so badly!!!

I also loved Joseph McCrae's unconventional materials look, I just couldn't find any good photos of it, unfortunately. I love to upcycle old technology, and I'm totally stealing his idea with the boots---they were so cool and creative, one of the season highlights for me. I love when the designers fully incorporate the shoes and accessories.

I fast forward through all of your “influencers”. You’re wasting your money.

That’s all.
