Project Runway: Did They Make it Work?

I’ve been watching Project Runway since the beginning. I even had the chance to interview Tim Gunn for this blog.

But I admit, after years on Lifetime, the show got boring, predictable and irrelevant to the fashion world.

So I was excited to see the return of the reality show on Bravo tonight and a revamp of the host and judges. (Nina Garcia is the only returning judge from the original show).

When I chatted with Tim years ago, he spoke about Christian Siriano and how he was a fashion prodigy. And now that prodigy, who has designed for EVERYONE is the new mentor. Big shoes to fill after Tim Gunn.

So did the show make the cut?

YES!

Karlie Kloss, Brandon Maxwell, Elaine Welteroth and Runway alum Nina Garcia were a seamless transition into a new season and the return of the show to its original network, Bravo.

Christian Soriano is fierce as the designers’ mentor who brings his experience as a very successful designer and the show’s season four winner.

The show has models of all sizes walking the runway and included the show’s first transgender model, Mimi Tao, who was stunning in a design by contestant Kovid Kapoor.
