Just like Project Runway, last night was the premiere of Models of the Runway. The series covers the behind-the-scenes happenings for the models that walk the runway for the Project Runway designers. Of course, we’ve always known that the models were competing too, but now we get to know them a bit and see what they go through.
Holly was Emilio’s model and was told that not only did she wear the winning garment; she was the best model for this episode. But since Christiane was sent home, Kelly was worried about being eliminated.
When the models moved into their apartment, we got to see their personalities a bit. Sophia seems like a bit of a diva and wants all of the others to be extremely orderly and tidy…I have a feeling she will be involved in drama because of this.
Brandise has the most modeling experience and had a bit of an attitude when the models were sent to work with a runway coach. And we have a glimpse of who will be this season’s bad girl…Alexis. She even announced to the others that she wants them to all go home. (Not a great strategy…)
As always, the remaining designers chose their models and every single one stayed with their original models. That meant that Kelly was eliminated.
Do you watch this series along with Project Runway? What do you think of the new group of models? Let us know!
Last night we saw the season premiere of the seventh season of Project Runway. I was thrilled to see that the show had back its same look and personality from seasons past. It’s set in New York again and it’s amazing how the feel of the show changed. I missed it last season!
The new designers are awesome! Every single one of them is very talented and it’s going to be amazing to see who wins. The competition is going to be “fierce!”
My favorite designers’ personalities are Anthony and Ping. Both are very unique and have cool personalities. However, I’m not too sure that I appreciate Ping’s design aesthetic. Her garment looked like a bunch of fabric that was just thrown at the model. Perhaps I’ll understand better as the season goes on.
After Heidi Klum & Tim Gunn greeted the designers on the roof with the customary toast, they got settled in and ready for the first challenge.
The next morning, they met Tim in Central Park and had three minutes to dash & grab all the Mood fabric they could. Then Tim gave them a couple of minutes to edit down to the best 5 fabrics for their first garment. They were given one day to create a garment that fully shows their unique design style.
I’ve included photos of all of the runway garments for you to enjoy, but my personal favorite was Emilio’s dress. His was the challenge winner, giving him immunity. But I also liked the garments by Maya, SethAaron, Jonathan & Anna
I expected either Ping or Christiane to go home. But the judges saw something in Ping’s garment that they liked so the one to go home first was Christiane.
I thought it was fun to have Nicole Richie as a guest judge this week. She seems so sweet. Even when she had criticism, she said it in a kind way. I really liked her as a judge.
I loved this episode! What did you think of the new group of designers? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Tomorrow night, CBS airs the People’s Choice Awards. Once again, the show will be hosted by the lovely Queen Latifah and should be a fun show, just in general. The show airs at 9:00 pm ET, so be sure to watch or record it! Here’s a promo clip of Queen Latifah telling us about this year’s show:
Here are the reality TV shows that have been nominated for People’s Choice Awards this year:
The beautiful host of Project Runway and regular runway model for Victoria’s Secret is once again named one of the year’s sexiest women. Heidi Klum ranked as #68 on Buddy TV’s Top 100 Sexiest Women of 2009 list.
It’s simply amazing how Heidi has baby after baby and is above the normal age range for supermodels, yet she still looks as incredible as ever.
We’re impressed with Heidi Klum’s amazing talent of losing baby weight. Or even her talent for looking hot even while pregnant. Klum never goes out of style.
Last night on Launch My Line, the designers were surprised by the “inspiration” they were given. They were taken to an art gallery and given individual nude models to use as their inspiration for an asymmetrical look to add to their line. It didn’t seem like an easy task at all!
Vanessa said that she wanted to step her style back a bit because the judges weren’t saying anything favorable about her looks so far. However, a short, gold dress with huge pockets that emphasize the wearer’s hips just isn’t a good look.
The judges decided to cut Vanessa’s line. Personally, I’m not sure how she made it this far in the competition. Her design style is far too over the top for the mainstream buyer and I can’t see that her line would make any money. Even though she’s incredibly creative, she really isn’t thinking about the end users at all.
Last night on Launch My Line, the designers were each given an exotic animal to use as the inspiration for their look. The animals ranged from a python (Patrick) to a llama (Kevin.) I have to say that most of the looks were much better this week. The designers are beginning to get the idea of fashion design and their experts are beginning to work with them better…well, except for a couple of the pairs.
Vanessa still insisted on making something outrageous, Patrick & Roberto were still not working smoothly together, Marilyn and Coco still don’t gel as a team and the group was given less time than ever to create the new look. In other words, it was a great episode.
I’ve given you a gallery below of the looks presented this week. The very minimal, ugly green thing was created by Patrick & Roberto. I felt that the look deserved to get them eliminated, but I do like seeing them on the show, so I’m glad they managed to make it through. They were in the bottom two, though.
Instead, somehow the judges decided to send home Kevin, since his three looks don’t seem to have a cohesive theme. I thought it was a wrong decision, since his look wasn’t even nearly as awful as the one Patrick created. But they don’t ask me about these things.
I loved the episode and look forward to next week’s chaos!
HGTV’s Design Star winner David Bromstad will star in a four segment series that will follow his development of the 13-episode series he will air as his prize for winning the contest.
