Project Runway Over And We Didn't Even See It


This season of Project Runway ended today as it does every year beneath the tents during Fashion Week in New York. It is kind of humorous to imagine this entire season going on and no one even notices or cares that it has been filming. For those of you truly miss the show you can watch Project Runway Canada which I have been watching every week, umm, possibly in an illegal way. I mean it is Iman for goodness sakes. The woman is amazingly gorgeous still and the drama is just as good in Canada.

It also seems as if the designers there are given less time to work on their clothes than they are on the US version. It is only week three there I think so if you have missed the episodes it's not too late to try and catch up. I will say that one of the best designers in either version of the show is on the Canada one right now.

The great thing about the Canadian version is the judges are much more brutal in their assessments. There is no sugar coating it at all. The Tim Gunn of Canada is a completely different kind of guy than Tim and seems to offer more suggestions on changes the designers can make.

There is no timetable as to when this latest season of the US version will be shown, but guest judges this year were Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria and Rebecca Romijn. Yes, much more Hollywood type judges, because, well, they filmed it all in LA. So, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia were not judges in every episode so it probably makes for a nice change.
