Project Runway All-Star Episode 6

So finally, a decent challenge! This week’s challenge had a lot of different elements. Firstly, the designers have to design American sportswear (which I guess in fashion doesn’t actually mean playing a sport). Then the challenge called for 2 designers to design for one of the seasons. Finally just when the designers thought it was a team challenge, turns out they have to have a...

Designer Profile: Antonio Berardi Pt. 1

“The Berardi woman is a woman who is aware of her sexuality, sensuality, and who appreciates the meticulous nature of what I do.” History- The son of Sicilian emigrants, Antonio’s parents moved to Britain in the 50’s, where he developed an interest in fashion early on. Even at the age of nine, he would save up his money to buy designer clothes. As he got older, her decided...

AKIRA Chicago

So here in Chicago, we have a small chain of stores called Akira. At Akira, you can find really unique, edgy, and runway grade pieces that really make a statement. They also frequently hold really great fashion shows. I even performed in one of them! Well, I used to work at Akira and now my cousin now works there and he’s starting a magazine/store look book for the store and he asked me to...

Project Runway All-Stars Episode 5

So the challenge this week had the designers in Central Park. While there, they had to find someone in the part and use them as a muse, making an outfit inspired by them. But wait, there’s more. The designers had to convince (and usually pay) these people to give them their clothes. This resulted in a hot guy getting shirtless and subsequently flirting with Kara and an even hotter guy named...

Project Runway All-Stars Episode 4

This week each all-star chose a gelato flavor and they had to design a tasteful dress based on that flavor. The twist? They had to do it in 6 hours. Diane Von Furstenberg was the guest judge, along with Miranda Kerr (who would wear the winners dress). Winner: Michael Costello I like the dress but I thought it was just OK, nothing new or innovative. I felt like I’ve seen this dress...

Project Runway All-Stars Episode 3

This weeks challenge was to design a cocktail look for one of fashions most influential people. If you’re like me, your mind was racing. Victoria Beckham? Daphne Guinness? Anna Dello Russo? Lady Gaga? No. Miss Piggy. Throughout the episode, everyone (especially Austin) acted like they were making a dress for Anna Wintour, perish the thought. It’s a fucking felt pig! They all ran around...

Project Runway All-Stars Episode 2

The challenge for this episode was a Night at the Opera, guest judged by the designers of Badgley Mischka. Nothing super interesting happened. Kara was a panicking mess, Austin was in his classic couture chiffon element, April is doing edgy, and Sweet P and Gordana made ugly dresses. The usual. Winner: Austin Scarlett I liked Austin’s dress. I like the gold sheath and the black tulle...

Project Runway All-Stars Episode 1

So if you aren’t watching Project Runway All-Stars, don’t worry you’re not missing much. Most of the all-stars, I don’t think are all-stars and if this all-star season is anything like America’s Next Top Models was, I’ll be watching with my bored face on. I miss the original judges (even though I idolize Georgina Chapman, designer for Marchesa, she comes off...

I felt a wave of disgust when I learned that Ash Stymest was married. I vomited when I heard she’s pregnant.

Designer Profile: Rad Hourani Pt. 1

It’s been a while. I’m sorry I kept you waiting. But I’m here now. Sorry, it’s a Britney reference. Unfortunately this Designer Profile is fairly short since he’s still relatively unknown. But the image I use as my icon is his. And he’s attractive! “I started imagining clothes the same way I started creating images: with a sense of curiosity and...

GAWS: Rick Owens' 10 Rules of Style →

morbidfashion: gaws: 1. I’m not good at subtlety. If you’re not going to be discreet and quiet, then just go all the way and have the balls to shave off your eyebrows, bleach your hair, and put on some big bracelets. 2. Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead. 3. I’ve lived in Paris...

PROJECT RUNWAY ALL-STARS

Like my other favorite show, America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway is doing an All-Star season next and for as bomb as that sounds, I’m disappointed if not disgusted in their choice of all stars. They’ve chosen people who I don’t know if anyone would consider an all-star! Where’s Santino? Uli? Daniel Vosovic? Blayne-licious? (I’m sure there’s more...
