Hey i thought this show was great. I was told to see it because my art teacher in fashion design told me to see it. The next day we went to the wensite to explore it for those who didn't get to see it. We loved it seeing all the different designs that they could make out of the stuff.

You know, its really funny and ironic, i have been comtemplating changing my major to costume design and fashion, and i was having a hardtime deciding which way to go, but i was leading towards fashion design and was gonna meet with my advisor to change for the spring semester. And VOILA, i change my major, and see this show the next night, and i COULDN'T be happier that i made my decision. I'm totally pysched!!!!!! Just thought i would share that =)

when i saw this recent episode of project runway where they were in the supermarket i felt that i needed to be there. I aspired to be a FD at a young age and have always been a person full of ideas and i knew instantly the materials i would have chosen. NOW, while i may know squat about construction of clothing i think i would have done very well on the show through the first round simply on innovation. When i watched the show i just wanted to be there!!!! unfortunately i hate sewing, which is why i didn't go through with FD and gave up. I actually took a pre-college summer course at Parsons SOD and accidently left my illustrations in the lockers!( yes, i know that was totally stupid) but it was my first time in the big apple( yes, again i was a dumb a**)But still today i get so excited wondering what could have been. I love the show and wish i could be on it.Love the show. Being at Parsons for that short time was fun though and definately very demanding.You are working with the best of the best and give nothing less than 100 percent!

I was really sad to see Mario go tonight. His character really grew on me. I liked the fact that he was very lax about everything, and just kinda did whatever without thinking or working too hard. I enjoyed the fact that he was different from everybody else. He truly was the "rebel", and now he is gone. =( I'll miss his personality and his buddy chats with Jay. Who will Jay take a cigarette break with now?

I give this show two very enthusiastic thumbs UP!!

I am not in the business, I do a little photography now and again and I have a good eye for beauty, this is my only background.

I never thought I'd like this show but it turns out that I LOVE it! I watched both airings tonight!

Great job!!

love the show we need a 2 season im young fashion designer that would love to be in the show

Great show! Hope to see more of behind the scenes in the fashion biz while the talent contest is taking place. Opportunity to educate and entertain simultaneously.

I know what you mean. There's really too much contrast between the best and the worst for the show to be fair. But that's what makes it interesting...

I agree this is a great show. Love it. I hope to see a second and ongoing seasons. Great idea for a show. At first I thought it wouldn't interest me. Boy, was I wrong. I'm hooked after only two episodes. Kudo's to the creator.

So is this show definitely coming out on DVD? I don't have cable and I only heard about it through a friend and Googled this website to find out all about it. I *have* to see this show now!

This is what a reality show should be like!!!! It will take a load of talent, creativity, imagination, and brains to win this show, and thats whats great!! These people are not waitresses from Alaska or grocery clerks from Kentucky that make for good TV and win some reality show based purely on luck.....You have to have your game on week in and week out to win this, and that's what is awesome!! So CONGRATS to the producers, after only 2 episodes this show is rockin!!!

I agree. We need plus size designers, plus size models, and plus size judges. That one judge looks like an aging Hollywood hooker. She has her own beauty; I like what she has to say, but she almost looks out of place. Maybe I'm being prejudiced...I hope not. Forgive! if I am. And we need some men on the runway! I'd like to see some of the designers model their creations.

This show ROCKS!!! I want more, more, more!!

I have to give Bravo credit. I've always loved the network, but when they entered the "reality tv" arena, I was kind of appalled. I thought Queer Eye would be stupid. I loved it right away. And I was skeptical about Project Runway, since I'm not into fashion at all and thought the show would appeal to a limited audience. But it's really a lot of fun, and I love the diversity of the contestants. Different ages, backgrounds and styles. I'm hooked.

Now here's my take on the show - I think it's all-around INCREDIBLE. I'm really impressed at the *thinking* behind the concepts and editing of the first two episodes. I love that in episode 1 Daniel just didn't *get* the concept "innovation" at all - he was so wrapped up in showing off his usual tailoring and concepts and he had no regard for the materials he was working with. The challenge entirely escaped him! It was so fun to watch everyone struggle through the process.

In episode 2, I think the designers were still subconsciously in the mindset of using impractical materials to present a *purely artistic* design concept - I think most of the designers forgot to make things that would be desireable and wearable for real people. It was so smart for the producers to shock them back into reality by bringing their designs into a store and putting them up for auction. I just love the emotional whiplash the show is putting the contestants through.

I am not a TV person - I have never seen another reality show and don't watch any regular series (Friends, etc.) but luckily I check in with Bravo now and then. I am madly in love with this show and so glad I discovered it, especially at the beginning of the series! Wednesday night I raced home to make sure I watched it. That was a first for me.

A tiny bit about me: I'm a 40 year old graphic designer, with a BFA in Painting. I also do ceramics, paint, photography, etc. My family was in the fashion/modeling business so I was raised around the industry, which I adore. I wish I would have tried fashion instead of design, but I thought it was too risky. Back in the day, I wanted to go to Parsons *with all my heart and soul* so this show is extra exciting to me.

Thanks (for agreeing with me, ha ha) AuntieKrabby! Isn't the show fun! I look forward to seeing you here as the drama unfolds...
:^)

Can I just say this show is absolutely genius! Kudos to the shows creator(s) and/or producer(s). I had been wondering when someone was going to make a reality show based on fashion designers....it got so bad that I almost e-mailed Paris Hilton's Mom when she was looking for ideas. Well, with the destined success of "Project Runway" I'm sure there will be more to follow.

By the way.....love the contestants they all seem very likable....my favorites are Austin, Nora, Kara, Jay, and Mario who is unfortunately now gone....I think he is quite talented, however, he approached the challenges with very little enthusiasm and I think the judges picked up on that immediatley. Eventhough he put little effort into his designs they were wearable and salable so just imagine what he could do if he really gave it some more thought.

So when is the next installment scheduled to air? I'd love to see if I could wow the judges with my designs and land a coveted spot on season #2!

Bravo to Bravo and the creators and producers of "Project Runway"! I've always enjoyed Bravo's programming, but this show rocks!

Finally, a reality show for people who don't like reality shows.

My mother is a fashion designer and master seamstress, so through her, I've come to appreciate and understand the art form we call fashion. She helped me understand the body in space and the importance of how things looked in three dimensions. Growing up and being surrounded by fashion, it truly is amazing what can happen from a bolt of fabric (or in the case of episode one, off-the-shelf items) to it's final creation.

I have no doubt inherited my mother's creative genes (thanks, Mom!), as I am now studying Interior Architecture. What I love about "Project Runway" is that while it focuses primarily on fashion, the challenges and creative process these designers face is the common paradigm among any designer(be it fashion design, industrial design, or architecture to name just a few other design professions where the outcome is something functional and aesthetic). It is this underlying creative process that intrigues me most, and Bravo has done an excellent job so far in presenting that.

In the end, it's bringing the art and business of fashion to the masses and people who probably never thought about fashion design beyond the Gap. This program demonstrates that fashion is not merely costume, but a unique, personal, and very immediate expression of who we are.

Well, Trixie, don't give up yet. I'm 43 and am still cooking up ways to find new opportunities in design education. I'm a college instructor - literature and writing. I love my job, but I also feel like there is something else I want to do to - fashion design. I paint, draw, sew, make jewelry and handbags, etc. I totally understand what Wendy means about her chances at a design career seeming limited at her age. I won't defend her godawful strategy, but I understand her sense of urgency.
