MICHAEL KORS WATCHESEACH MODEL
Project Runway is a great way to see what is going on in the world of up-and-coming fashion designers. It is an American reality television series which was previously broadcasted on the Bravo network and is currently on Lifetime.
On the show, contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and are restricted in time, materials and theme. Their designs are judged, and one or more designers are eliminated each week. During each season, selected competitors are progressively eliminated based on the judges' scores until only a few contestants remain; these finalists prepare a complete fashion collection for New York Fashion Week, from which a winner is determined.
The show is hosted by model Heidi Klum and has a wonderful array of guest judges each season. One of its returning celebrity judges for ten resounding seasons was fashion designer Michael Kors.
The designers are given a budgeted stipend to select and purchase fabric and notions, and then provided a limited amount of time to finish their designs. Often, the designers work independently, although on some challenges, contestants must work in teams or as a single collective group.
Once the deadline is reached, the designers must dress their models and select their hair, make-up, and accessories.The group of judges such as Michael Kors watcheseach model walk down the runway, and the garment the contestant made is rated in several categories from 0 to 5, and often provide personal annotations and comments regarding the presented designs.
The judges then interview the six remaining designers who garnered the highest and the lowest scores, and share their opinions while listening to the designers' defense of their outfits, then confer as a group in private. The panel then announces the winning and losing designers based on their scores and other considerations.
Typically, the winner receives immunity for the next challenge, and therefore cannot be eliminated. Other incentives given to the contestants aside from winning immunity include:
The winning garment may be featured in print media, integrated into a limited edition look for a particular clothing brand, or sold at an online fashion store (e.g., BlueFly.com beginning in Season 4 onwards).
Generally, the loser of each challenge is eliminated from the competition, with host Klum giving him or her a double air kiss on the runway and wishing the eliminated designer her catchphrase, Auf Wiedersehen (formal German for goodbye with literal translation "until we meet again"), before they depart.
Thus, elimination from the show is sometimes called "being auf'd"—a play on words as it can be interpreted as offed.
Although no fashion “stars” have come from the show so far, it is still an entertaining twist on the concept of fashion design.
Viewers get to see some designers in training trying to break out on the scene and see all the behind-the-scenes trials and tribulations, pitfalls and victories that take place for fashion designers to make it in the industry. Sometimes you just have to use what yo have available and make it work.
