Project Runway came to an end last week and I have to say ... meh. Was it the move to LA? The move to Lifetime? A bad crop of designers? If it weren't for the show being broadcast on a channel no one else I know has, forcing us to make a weekly party out of watching it and yelling at the screen as though we were watching football (nooah! no you did not send her down the runway in that!) it probably would have fallen off my radar. Don't get me wrong, there were some great moments early on, Malvin and the chicken thighs, the pregos bowling bag dress... but by the end we'd had no unusual challenges, no menswear no plus sizes, shit one contest was simply "use the color blue". Are you kidding me?
(There's some great Runway rundown at the end of this Fug or Fab post).
I'm loyal to the idea of Project Runway, so come January I'll give it one more go but for now I'm forced to look to the streets for my fall fashion inspiration. (No Uli to convince me that scarves with tank tops really DO make sense! If it's cute, it's sensible!)
So where to look?
Brooklyn:

vs. Baltimore:

final vote: Brooklyn 8 (61%) to Baltimore 5 (38%)

OMG I had almost the same exact discussion yesterday morning! You are so right. Excellent observation. Because of that, I vote Baltimore in the fashion battle, even though I say DC or Manhattan would win. Kisses. DCGrrl
