here's a new one all: from the Washington Post about new designers (only this part refers to PR):
Perhaps the most famous unknowns of the week are the designers from the Bravo series "Project Runway." They have been vying for a $100,000 prize and a Banana Republic mentorship. The show taped its finale Friday morning, with four designers presenting collections. One designer was a red herring; there are only three finalists. An educated guess would have Jay McCarroll, Kara Saun and Wendy Pepper in the runway showdown. One must assume that Austin Scarlett will be eliminated, unless the judges decide that dressing women like a drag version of Mae West is a commercially viable idea.
I personally can't believe they rather take Wendy's designs which lack character altogether over Austin's designs which may have a bit too much character... but guys... its a fashion show. Most people are going to wear less intense versions of what they see at fashionweek. I personally think it's impossible to wear a less intense version of Wendy's designs... unless it happens to be made of candy.

Another thing that's interesting - what you see on the runway is rarely what 'ships' for most of these designers. They may be showing micro-minis and sheer tops on the runway, but when the buyers come in (from Bergdorf's or Neiman Marcus or wherever. . .) they emphasize that "oh, this skirt will ship 6 inches longer!" or "yes, we'll be putting an opaque tank under that!" As much as anything, the runway shows get attention for the brand and the designer.
THANKYOU! I've been trying to get that point across. One reason I don't understand why people would ever say someone's style is too extreme for the runway. Extreme fashion and runway are almost synonymous! A runway show is done, then the fashions keep the same touch but are made just a bit more moderate to keep the appeal of buyers.

I agree with Oscar on the Target thing, especially when pregnant - they have hip designers doing maternity. (Yes, that is possible- haha) Anyway, was watching an interesting 60 minutes on the designer Mossumo (not sure if I spelled that right, but he was mainly a big swimwear designer in the 80's) when he first signed on with Target to produce not only swimwear but men's and women's lines. He was taking a lot of heat from the design world about "selling out." The whole story was about how he actually broadened his market and fattened his pocket nicely, not to mention helped put Target back on the map as a trendier, discount store. He also opened the door or held the door open for other designers to slip in and take Target miles ahead of the others in that category. Just a tidbit of the extent of my designer knowledge.... fascinating, I'm sure!!! :-)

Close - Mossimo. Back in 1996 I had a bfriend who had stock in Mossimo and he lost a lot of money because I guess M's design house was going under so he sold his stock. If bfriend had just held on until the Target deal maybe he wouldn't have been so grouchy!

As far as challenges - here's some ideas I would love to see:
1)I would love to see them make something for a MAN! How crazy is that? I know women drive the fashion industry, but the market for men is growing leaps and bounds. I'd love to see what Austin or Jay would do for a man, even Kara - all of them.
2)I'd like to see them all given the same material, same quantity and they have to each come up with their own design using it. It could be a dress, suit, swimsuit, halter and shorts - anything goes. (I guess that is similar to the cotton challenge, but I'm thinking a satin or something and they cannot dye it)
3) I would like to see one episode where they use plus size models (give the skinnies a break one episode - send them out to dinner or something) and the designs are every day wear or evening wear
4) I would love to have them design something for themselves - something they would wear and then they have to model it and explain it.
5)Similar to the Rock Star challenge - would be fun to have teams do an Oscar or Grammy dress for a nominee and the winners dress will be worn to the show.
Anyway - just thinking out loud.
GREAT ideas! I'd love to see every one of these competitions. I think you should send these in to the producers of the show. And LOVED the comment about sending the skinnies out to dinner. Too funny. I'd like to see more designers have to design something for the larger woman or man. *Everything* looks good on really skinny models with big shoulders. Let's see what they can do for short tubby people with narrow sloping shoulders and an inner tube for a waist. (Not that I'm thinking of anyone in *particular* here ...

my favorite designer on the show was kevin hands down...with hardly even a nod to any other designer....since kevin's (unfair and staged)elimination I have come to appreciate jay's vision and sense of irony....i don't have a favorite designer in the real world...in that a teacher's salary doesn't allow for much shopping outside of goodwill and old costumes from the drama department....i feel that wendy is probablly misrepresented in some respects...the casualties of editing and the phenomenon of camera-induced-evilness....i don't think she is a strong designer...but i realized long ago with this show that designing took a hefty back seat to demographics and drama....in keeping with my other posts...i will now wail and thrash about in abject disgust and eternal turmoil at the cutting of precious precious kevin....WWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHH....why him?...why my little crunchy animal cracker?....how could the fates shine so dimly on such a grand talent...such a tender soul...such a delectable bottom....why oh why oh why oh why....kevin my dear....i will wait for you....my name is catherine...i was named after catherine the great of RUSSIA...and though catherine the great died under "questionable" circumstances...believe this...her russian spunk is ever alive in this fiery red-headed irish girl....GOD BLESS MOTHER RUSSIA!!!!.....

Just caught the new promo too!! As Jay says "I hate Wendy" and then I see Wendy's smug little smirk - I want to literally kick her ass. I do not know if it is safe for me to watch tomorrow night. I am so sick and tired of the way Bravo has edited this show. I'm sure Wendy really did act like a b!tch on this show, but I am sick of her dominating all the edited shows. It has been like this for about 4 episodes now - constant "will she go or will she stay" drama. It really takes away from the success of Jay Kara and Austin getting this far on their own merits. It's like this is a Monopoly game and she's got the only get out of jail free card, but we won't find that out until the end!! SHOOT ME NOW!

"I *sigh* hate Wendy". Bless Jay...he just has a way of saying things. I wonder why Jay hasn't bitched her out yet. That would be quality television.
Unrelated, but LOL to Austin's collection being referred to as drag Mae West. I hear some of you say that maybe he didn't put that much into it because he could be the red herring designer, but hell, it's still Fashion Week. You'd think he want Bravo producers to see they screwed up if indeed he gets the boot (not that I would disagree with such a decision).

Say Austin is eliminated tomorrow night...that would mean he wasn't one of the three finalists to make a line for fashion week as the very last challenge. Wouldn't this also mean he wasn't provided with any of the resources the three actual finalists would have been provided with (i.e. fabric, money...) and wouldn't this therefore explain why he may have had some old pieces displayed and in his defense, would have had much less to work with??

There's strong speculation that if he is the one who is eliminated that he used a ready-made collection from his portfolio. This would make sense and would explain why some feel his work at FW was not as strong. With time comes experience and he has grown some, as have they all, through this show.
I did like his FW collection, though

Maybe Bravo realized how they screwed up the timing of the epis and FW and asked him at the last minute to participate. In any case I think that they have some hefty cajones to ask anyone to serve as a decoy.
It breaks my heart that Austin didn't have the greatest coming out party at FW; he really deserves great things.

Of the final four, I'm betting Kara will win. I thought Wendy and Jay were pretty even in their showings -- what was up with the headphones/ear muffs on all of Jay's models. I'm guessing that's his "signature?"
All three had great outfits that fit in with Fashion Week.
I like Austin, he's a great designer, but he seems to be stuck in costuming instead of design normal (alright relatively normal <g>) clothes like the rest of them. If he's the one cut, that's probably why. I can't help but feeling he was in the wrong contest -- if it was something for costuming (which is a tough field to break in Hollywood) he'd have won.
The title of Jay's Fashion Week collection was "Stereotype" - hence the headphones which tie his collection together even more visually than the designs themselves. They're not his signature. I really can't believe you consider his work and Wendy's to be of the same calibre - especially considering their ages and experience. He's ten years younger than her - and has been doing this for a while, granted, but come on - that woman has been doing this for some time and not so well if you ask me and most of the people on this board, in the audience at fashion week, the judges on the show, the list goes on.

For some reason, I'm starting to lose a little interest in the show. Maybe because Austin has been disapppointing. He's shown himself to be quite human and that he won't deliver corn-husk/BR party-dress/Esther Williams-swimsuit quality every week. Heck after tonite he won't be delivering anything at all. I feel like the show ended already and the next few episodes are olbigatory and antclimactic.

Thanks for the explanation about the headphones, I was wondering about that. Re: the collections I went by the clothes only (not the show's manipulated editing, come on now, you now reality shows are anything but real)-- everyone's stuff is good. They all seem to be going for different clientele. Wendy seems to be more for a slightly older crowd (except for a couple outfits which younger clients might like) while Jay (and Kara) for for the younger audience.

With all the responses (regardless if negative)Wendy get's on these Boards, I would not be surprised if she does not get here own show or end up on the talk circuit, and regardless of all the protests she appears to be getting, many of you would watch. Its like train wreck syndrome, Regardless of how gruesome, you have to watch (Bravo know's this). You give credence to what should not be given credence in your loud and moanful rants. And if I may say further, I hope Austin takes advantage of what is surely his 15 minutes, the clock is ticking.

One particularly good quote...
"Remember that fashion and clothes are not the same thing: Clothes keep you from being naked or cold, and pockets provide a place for your house keys. Fashion, when it's good, sends the imagination racing and speaks for the wearer's dreams in a way words can't."

On the issue as to whether Austin received funds from Bravo for Fashion Week: They must have given him SOMETHING! If the whole idea is to throw TV journalists, and us fans, off the scent, then it would not be in Bravo's best interests not to give the decoy some funds. Plus, if you look at the materials in his collection -- a buckskin trenchcoat!, a long silk-velvet gown -- it's clear that he was able to afford luxury materials. The "Mae West" comment is a response to the cut of the clothes, not the cost of the materials. I think it's bunk to look at that collection and think he didn't have some decent funding to produce it.
Although many people have been bitching and moaning about the possible elimination of Austin (or whoever it is), I actually think the decoy got a really good break! Think about it: three weeks ago, everyone was thinking that there were really two levels of "winning" on this program. The "grand prize" is the 100K + BR + Fashion week. But I think it's fair to say that even getting JUST the Fashion Week opportunity is a huge break in this business. Again, before this board became obsessed with Wendy and a sense of injustice surrounding her, we all agreed (I think) that getting to fashion week was a big deal.
In light of this, I think the fact that four designers got to show at FW actually is a fairly generous turn-around for PR. In all honesty, I think it's unlikely that Austin would have won the grand prize in any event: Kara probably will, maybe Jay. Given that he probably wouldn't have won, the next best thing would be for him to get to show what he can do at FW. If he is indeed the decoy, and ranked #4, then he got a HUGE BREAK in getting to show at Fashion Week anyway, despite the original intent to only send 3 designers there. Indeed, whoever is #4 did pretty well for himself or herself, I'd say.
Look on the bright side, people!

As I stated earlier - Kevin may be a good designer - but he did not stand up for himself - - at anytime.
This is a cut throat business - - if he doesn't have enough confidence in himself - no one else will either.
His elimination was correct. Not for his designs - but because he did not defend them with sincerity - he did not believe in his own design.

Paillette- I agree with you hands down. Like it or not - even if Austin is eliminated tonight, he still got his name out there and more exposure by going to FW as an honorable mention candidate than had he just got sent home.
It does calm my nerves to know that. If there is any consolation in Wendy getting to fashion week AT ALL, it is that at least Austin went too in one form or another. I agree that he wouldn't have won - the whole goal on his part was to get there. I also think he was so disappointed to not be in the top three and have his work shown on the show, that perhaps he lost some steam. Either way - chin up, little man!

I am not much on reality shows- this is about the only show I have time to watch, but I know the pattern - as maddening as it is! Knowing that - I would not be at all surprised if Wendy is declared the winner on a technicality or something. Perhaps they define "Winner" as most improved or the person who grew the most as a designer throughout the shows. There could be a twist. THey could show her pathetic start in the first two episodes, followed by her BR win and her staying power and say......... "You won by a longshot!" WOuldn't surprise me at all at this point. We'll see soon enough. (Well, not soon enough - I'd love it all to wrap up tonight, I'm so drained on the drama.)

Okay, Jay, Kara, Austin-- all fabulous artists!

As an artist, I am dissapointed that someone with so little vision has been allowed to even compete with the talent on Project Runway. There were some very talented people that didn't make it as far as Wendy on the show, but i'm sure will go much further in the industry. Good luck to you Jay, Austin, and Kara!!!! I would love to have all three of you design my wardrobe!!

I think some of Wendy's designs would qualify as "lewd" or "indecent". Maybe she'll have to relocate if this bill becomes state law.
