We have a winner! Project Runway has crowned its seventh season champ: Seth Aaron! The rock star-lookin' designer impressed the judges plus guest Faith Hill with his line of graphic, wearable pieces, defeating Emilio and Mila. Seth Aaron's was my favorite collection shown at Bryant Park, and I'm happy that the family man is taking it all home. So here's your chance to tell me — are you glad he Read more

Last week on Project Runway, the judges threw the final four contestants for a loop when they picked Seth Aaron and Emilio to go to Bryant Park, but told Mila and Jay that they had to produce entire lines to show them, and then they'd decide who would be the third to compete for the winner title. Personally, neither of the collections blew me away, but I'm very disappointed with the judges' Read more

After last week's snoozy challenge, I was happy to see Project Runway step it up a notch. In their final challenge at Parsons, the designers were asked to create an outfit inspired by the greatest show on earth — the circus. Before the designers even hit Mood, I could see the bold colors and stripes. And sure enough, that's what we got. Some of the looks were fabulous, others too costumey, but Read more

The challenge on this week's Project Runway wasn't anything earth-shattering — the contestants had to design a runway-ready look for Heidi Klum — but the real drama was in a contestant shake-up. In a surprising move, Maya decided the pressure was too much and announced she was leaving the competition. Rather than carry on without her, someone got to come back: Anthony! I was super excited, Read more

Project Runway explored new territory this week, asking the contestants to design their own textile for their runway look. I appreciated the opportunity for the contestants to show their creativity, but some were completely flummoxed by producing and using a print. The judges and guest Vivienne Tam gave the win to the dress I was the biggest fan of — but I didn't necessarily agree with the Read more

Project Runway gave the designers one of my favorite challenges ever: use inspiration from a New York City neighborhood. Even though I normally dislike team challenges, the pairings and results made for a super interesting episode. With guests Francisco Costa and Molly Sims, the judges awarded what I thought were the best looks, but they eliminated one of my favorite designers. I'm bummed, but Read more

The competition on Project Runway is getting really good, meaning we're narrowing it down to the nitty and gritty and separating the great designers from the mediocre. This week, a challenge inspired by the elements was an examination of the contenders flying under the radar. While one of these such designers was noticed in a big way and rewarded with a win, another who'd continued to slide in Read more

Wow! Season seven of Project Runway really amped it up this week, with a challenge that was a real challenge — so much so that the frontrunners panicked when they heard what it was and again when they were creating their looks. Sending the designers to the hardware store was inspired, but the designers were less so. Seeing everyone struggle with their outfits and accessories made me appreciate Read more

This week's Project Runway threw me for a loop: it began as a challenge to create a children's look, but halfway through the episode, the designers were tasked with creating a grown-up companion look. It made things infinitely more interesting (though I was quite entertained by the banter of the kids and Anthony). As for the outcome, I agreed heartily with the winner (such cute and well-made Read more

The stakes were higher than usual this week for the contestants of Project Runway. The challenge was to create a look worthy of a Marie Claire magazine cover — and its April cover girl, Heidi Klum! The contestants seemed more motivated than usual, knowing what a win meant, but I was surprised by how much a couple of the designers acted like they didn't listen much to editor-in-chief (and Read more
