Project Runway: Best & Worst Episode 1

OK, for those of you who have not watched yet, I won't give any results away but I will share with you MY opinion! First off, I LOVED the challenge, and I think it was a great way to show us who can really make it work and who is going to be lazy this season.  Contestants only had 5 hours to pull something out of someone else's suitcase and transform it into Runway Ready Wear! I don't really agree with who was sent home... but it is typical of Project Runway to keep the weird ones on the show to keep things interesting so let's see how the rest of the season goes!


WORST DESIGNER: Jason Triosi

Can I just say: "UGH!" I usually try to give everyone a chance but I am not impressed. From his constant defending of his own masculinity (trying too hard????) to his cheap excuse of ruining a perfectly good kimono and using staples to put it together... PLEASE. Say it with me now: "auf wiedersehen!"

See Jason's design here.

BEST DESIGNER: Gretchen Jones

While her dress was actually not my favorite, I think she has a lot of potential. She also did a great job transforming a sequined sweater into a beautiful black dress (with an amazing back!) Looking forward to seeing more from her!

See Gretchen's design here.

FAVORITE DRESS: McKell Maddox

While the judges did not agree with my taste, I thought McKell put together a really fun dress that I feel like I would actually wear. I loved the color and the design.

See her dress here.


Looking forward to seeing more from:





Kristen Simms









Michael Costello










A.J. Thouvenot





Can't wait for this week's episode!!! Who was your favorite designer???

Hope you get to see it soon! Although you may want to wait... I think the website is still pretty backlogged because I kept having to reload and restart the video....
