Who will be out next on “Project Runway”? Fans have been placing their bets here in our predictions center since last week’s show. Click here for our complete odds for episode seven, “Fashion, Inside Out,” in which the designers must create looks featuring couture undergarments.
Last week’s results took many of our users by surprise. Kayne Gillaspie, after all, won the season premiere design challenge and got a high score immediately thereafter in “Toying with Fashion.” But his unconvincing attempt at grunge put him on the chopping block in “Like Totally ’90s.” Our odds weren’t completely off the mark, though: Gillaspie was one of the top three designers we were predicting for elimination, and he’d come thisclose to elimination a couple of weeks earlier in “Coronation Day.”

Hester Sunshine was eliminated from “Project Runway” last week in episode five, “Seeing Red,” when the designers had to create looks using the same bolt of red fabric. Unfortunately for Hester, it was a material she was unaccustomed to working with, so she ended up with fit problems and construction problems that she was never able to iron out, so to speak. So who’s next to face the fashion firing squad when the designers get nostalgic in “Like Totally ’90s”? Scroll down for our live blog with developments and commentary throughout the episode.

The “Seeing Red” challenge threw the “Project Runway” designers for a loop. It ended with the elimination of Hester Sunshine, but many seemed to think Anna Zhou was the least deserving. Will the results tonight in “Like Totally ’90s” be just as contested?
Kayne Gillaspie sat down with Zhou at the end of “Seeing Red” to ask if she thought it was fair that Sunshine was eliminated for sending something new down the runway when Zhou got high marks for what he thought was a derivative design. Korto Momolu thought it was “bullshit” that Zhou had one of the judges’ favorite looks. It was all because Zhou created a dress with ruffles that her rivals thought was too reminiscent of what she created in “Toying with Fashion.”

But fashion is subjective, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what the judges are looking for from week to week.

“I don’t really know if being in the bottom one time for a fabric you’re not used to is grounds for elimination,” she added. “I think at the end of the day it comes down to who can do what with what, and I couldn’t do anything with this, and this is where I am now.

What does it take to win a design challenge on “Project Runway”? That’s the question the designers face every week on the fashion competition series where one day you’re in and the next day you’re out. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so the judges’ tastes and expectations can be a moving target. But there are a few generally consistent ways you can impress the panel: be original and forward-thinking, be modern, demonstrate a clear and consistent artistic vision, and for the love of God don’t be boring. All things being equal, it’s better to be ambitious than to play it safe. Scroll down to see who met those high standards and won their challenges every week in season 20, which was a special “All-Stars” edition of the series.

‘Project Runway’ 20 episode 5 recap: The latest challenge has the designers ‘Seeing Red’ [Live Blog]
It has already been a topsy-turvy All-Stars season on “Project Runway.” The first challenge was all about redemption from past fashion sins and brought up such painful memories for one designer that he nearly self-eliminated. Then we went straight into an unconventional materials challenge where Mila Hermanovski was eliminated in a controversial result. And there was another surprise ouster in “Coronation Day” when Viktor Luna was sent home despite winning the previous challenge; our readers didn’t exactly agree with that one either. So how does the show follow all that up? Follow along below for our live blog of the episode “Seeing Red” with all the night’s developments as they happen.

In fashion, one day you’re in and the next you’re out. That’s the guiding principle of “Project Runway,” now in its 20th season. Even in a year like this, which brings together experienced All-Star contestants from the show’s history, some outfits are bound to fail. The fashion design competition has strict time limits and no seamstresses around to help you sew, which can trip up even the most gifted artists. So who had the worst looks of the season according to judges Nina Garcia, Elaine Welteroth, and Brandon Maxwell? And did you agree with their withering criticisms? Scroll down to see each unfortunate look.

“Project Runway” season 20 went straight from the season premiere into the unconventional materials challenge, which always pushes the creativity of the designers to the limit. They had to create playful looks using toys bought from famous toy store Fao Schwarz. But you know what else pushes designers to their limits? A team challenge! That’s what they have to do for “Coronation Day.” Follow along below for our live blog with all the developments and commentary as they happen.

Last week’s “Project Runway” had a bit of a surprise ending. “Toying with Fashion” was an unconventional materials challenge where designers had to obtain their supplies from Fao Schwarz. Laurence Basse expressed disdain for the challenge from the beginning, and judge Nina Garcia chided her for not even trying. But they sent home Mila Hermanovski instead for an unfinished look without a point of view. Will we be surprised again this week?

For tonight’s episode, “Coronation Day,” the fans who have made their predictions here in our predictions center say Basse is the likeliest to go home after last week’s close call. She gets leading odds of 23/10 as of this writing. Next up in our eliminations forecast is Hester Sunshine with 39/10 odds. Sunshine is known for her eccentric looks that could land her at the bottom as easily as they could earn her a win.

“Project Runway” returned on June 15 with a “Project Redemption!” challenge intended to rewrite history. The All-Star contestants had to take their worst looks from their respective seasons of “Runway” and reinvent them (and hopefully improve them). No rest for the weary, though, because what’s their next challenge? The always highly anticipated (for the audience) and dreaded (for the designers) unconventional materials challenge. Scroll down for our live blog with all this week’s developments and commentary as they happen.

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Monday, May 8, 2023.
As the fate of the bulk of The CW's scripted series remains Tba, the network has picked up another Canadian import.
Son of a Critch is set to air on the network this summer.
The series is a coming-of-age story based on the childhood and adolescence of Canadian comedian Mark Critch.
At the beginning of the series, 11-year-old Mark is growing up in 1980s Newfoundland, where he navigates starting junior high school, making friends, and connecting with the small collection of people in his limited world.
“When I was a young kid watching American TV in the ‘80s, I never dreamed that one day my own story would be beamed back over the border,” said Mark Critch.
“Having enjoyed so many CW shows with my own family, I’m excited to invite our American friends over to ‘my house.

“Project Runway’s” week-two “#Streetwear” challenge was contentious: Meg Ferguson quit the show after cursing out Kenneth Barlis for wanting to switch models. (It was a long story.) Barlis ended up in the bottom three with Katie Kortman and Darren Apolonio, but because Ferguson withdrew from the competition (especially under such contentious circumstances), the judges decided not to eliminate anyone. But they probably won’t be so generous for tonight’s third challenge.
As of this writing Kortman is the likeliest designer to be eliminated, according to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users as of this writing. She gets 69/20 odds of being sent home. In “#Streetwear” she was praised for her specific point of view but also criticized for her unflattering silhouette and proportions and for taking her colorful aesthetic too far into childishness and kitsch. We saw that a couple of seasons ago when Hester Sunshine‘s style...

‘Project Runway’ video recap: When the designers got personal and outfits were a tad ‘messy’ [Watch]
Last week on “Project Runway,” the designers were tasked to make a outfit that reflected their family heritage. As usual, not everyone was up to the task — especially since it was a one-day challenge — and, sadly, Jersey native Shavi Lewis would the seventh contestant on Season 18 to be eliminated. Also as usual, Gold Derby senior editors Daniel Montgomery and Susan Wloszczyna discuss the highlights and lowlights of the episode.

The title of the fifth episode of “Project Runway” 18 is “She’s Sew Unusual,” which can only mean one of two things. Either last year’s runner-up Hester Sunshine is back or Cyndi Lauper is in the house. Yes, the gal who wants to have fun is a guest judge this week as she strikes one of her signature poses on the runway. “Hello, dolls,” she says to the contestants while Nancy Volpe-Beringer goes all fan girl.
Alas, the challenge that is facing the remaining 11 designers sounds like the opposite of fun for them, judging from their unhappy faces. As host Karlie Kloss reveals, “You’ll work in two teams to create mini collections inspired by Cyndi Lauper’s iconic 1980s style.” Any Project Runway loyalist knows that, time after time, cooperation is usually in short supply during this sorts of team tasks.

After a shaky start, season 17 of the re-designed “Project Runway” settled into the groove earlier this year after returning to Bravo and mostly satisfied longtime fans on the Gold Derby site. Yes, they missed mentor Tim Gunn and host Heidi Klum, whose new Amazon web-only fashion series, “Making the Cut,” will premiere next year. But they especially warmed to Christian Siriano, winner of Season 4 in 2007, who expertly filled the avuncular Gunn’s fashionable shoes as a contestant advocate.
A poll revealed that 54% of the show’s fans appreciated how Siriano quickly settled into his role and proved to be an invaluable adviser to the designers. And 13% thought the final runway show featuring winning designer Sebastian Grey, Hester Sunshine and Garo Sparo was one of the best ever.

‘Project Runway’ 17 might be history, now that Colombian designer Sebastian Grey handily won the season with his sophisticated and cohesive collection of wearable upscale outfits inspired by his homeland. But we wanted to know how fans felt about the changes to the reality show staple now that it has returned to Bravo.
Yes, more than a few long-time viewers — 12% of those who voted in our poll — found the changes to be somewhat jarring, especially the fact that mentor Tim Gunn and host Heidi Klum are gone. Here’s hoping that news of their collaboration with Amazon on a fashion series will arrive soon. But those who left comments had more positive than negative to say about the additions to the show.
A typical comment was shared by Victoria Ekholm, who wrote: “I did miss Tim Gunn, a fabulous mentor and teacher, but I thought Christian did great for a first-time mentor.

“Sebastian Grey was the winner of Season 17 of ‘Project Runway’ to the surprise of not many people, I would say,” notes Gold Derby senior editor Daniel Montgomery. “He was the frontrunner in our odds and I thought he had a really excellent collection – although not necessarily my favorite of the three. But I thought he was a deserving winner.”
His fellow senior editor Susan Wloszczyna also thought his win was pretty much inevitable, given that “he was the most consistent and sophisticated, and for once, he really didn’t second guess himself very much.”
What the other two contestants didn’t do was make a totally cohesive collection. But while runner-up Hester Sunshine’s kitschy-cute designs could not have come from anyone else, corset king and third-place finisher Garo Sparo seemed to tone down his trademark cinched-waists looks a bit. Or, as Daniel says, “I wanted more Garo in Garo’s collection.

No Tim Gunn. No Heidi Klum. And a controversial first elimination that caused a ruckus when fans declared that the wrong designer was sent packing. Yes, according to longtime viewers of “Project Runway,” its return to Bravo for its 17th season had a decidedly bumpy beginning.
It was clear to many that sweet-natured designer Frankie Lewis was out of her league when her curvy model was falling out of her so-called body suit as she walked down the runway. But the two new judges — Elaine Welteroth, former editor of “Teen Vogue” and designer Brandon Maxwell, who has dressed both Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama — joined “Elle” editor-in-chief Nina Garcia, the lone survivor from previous incarnations, in opting to snip snooty Cavanagh Baker for a too-simple but at least wearable outfit.
But after that initial misstep (Frankie was duly given the heave-ho on episode 2), the revamped show with its snazzy Instagram...

"Felicitaciones," murmured Elle magazine editor-in-chief Nina García to Sebastian Grey when he was announced as the winner of the rebooted 17th season of Project Runway last night on Bravo. "As a Latina, I am so proud of the story that you have told. You are the personification of the American dream," García told the Colombian émigré-turned-janitor-turned-competition winner. "You came to this country, you worked really hard and you are standing here as a winner on talent alone."

Well, all we have to say is that the Project Runway judges made the right decision. Sebastian Grey was just named the winner of season 17 of the reality competition in its first year back on Bravo, beating Hester Sunshine and Garo Sparo for that title after the three finalists showed their final collections. Garo, with unfinished zippers and ill-fitting clothes (and after he got rid of the one dress the judges had really liked), wasn't even a part of the conversation in the end, and it didn't really sound like Hester had a chance, as the judges had critiques for her, but almost nothing to say about Sebastian's polished lineup. Hester, however, will be fine, as she found herself...

It’s been three months, and the end is here! “Project Runway” concluded its 17th season on Thursday night with “The Final Runway.” It was an especially meaningful moment since this season marked the return of the series to Bravo after spending the last 10 years on Lifetime. It was also the first season without original host Heidi Klum and mentor Tim Gunn, who were replaced by Karlie Kloss and Christian Siriano, respectively. So how did the show wrap up? Did the right designer win? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments as they happen.
Last week the judges sent home Bishme Cromartie, narrowing down the show to the final three: Hester Sunshine, Garo Sparo and Sebastian Grey. I was surprised by the judges’ choice in “One Elle of a Day” given how consistent Cromartie had been all season: only one low score and then one final...

With Bishme Croartie’s emotional elimination already a distant memory, only three talented designers remain in the running to win Project Runway Season 17.
Statistically speaking, all three competitors — Garo Sparo, Sebastian Grey and Hester Sunshine — have earned their place in the finale. Hester has won three individual competitions this season, while Garo and Sebastian have each won two. For the most part, they’ve also managed to avoid falling into the bottom two, save for Garo’s slip-up in Episode 10 and Hester’s in Episode 12. (Sebastian, meanwhile, has never been directly up for elimination.)

Can anyone beat Sebastian Grey on “Project Runway”? Even when he doubted himself so much he was tempted to quit the show entirely, he has been one of the judges’ favorite designers, and now that the show is down to its final three contestants going into tonight’s season finale he seems stronger than ever. As of this writing he gets leading odds of 8/15, according to the combined forecasts of over a hundred “Runway” fans who have made their predictions here in our predictions center. Do Garo Sparo or Hester Sunshine stand a chance?
There was a surprise last week in the penultimate episode of the season. In a final challenge to decide which three designers would get to show their collections out of the four finalists, we assumed Sunshine was in trouble. Before the final four she had a couple of rough challenges that threatened to derail her progress.

The “Project Runway” judges may have a tough time picking a winner in tonight’s season finale, but fans of the show sure don’t have a problem deciding. We asked our readers who they think should win the grand prize, and it was a landslide result: give the title to Sebastian Grey. Scroll down to see our complete poll results.
A whopping 82% of respondents think the Colombian designer should prevail, and he has come arguably the longest way. He opened two shops in his home country that shuttered, but you would never know he struggled from the quality of his work, which has been there since day one. He’s the only designer who never got a single low score from the judges, even in weeks when he thought he was a goner, like his confused streetwear look in “High Fashion to High Street” and his sculptural art installation...
