Fabulous from head to toe, Project Runway differs from many of its reality-show peers in that 1) its contestants are actually skilled at a difficult trade (in this case, fashion design) and 2) it boasts the most engaging hosts (supermodel Heidi Klum and Parsons Fashion chair Tim Gunn, who's become a breakout star himself). Season Two benefits from a more streamlined process--gone is the model-picking cattle call every episode--and a cast twice as memorable as Season One. Compare the ideas of kind fashion teacher Nick vs. wearable-technology geek Diana; the profound commentary of South African boho-chick Kara ("there's a life to the garment") vs. dim-bulb early cast-off Heidi ("I thought it was just, pretty… I mean, she looked pretty"). Revel in the arrogant musings, over-the-top designs, and dead-on Tim Gunn impressions of Santino Rice, who was wrongly mislabeled the villain of Project Runway. That honor truly goes to bossy witch Zulema, who never met an excuse she didn't like, and broke a gentleman's agreement by swiping Nick's "muse," model Tarah, halfway through the season (In a bittersweet end, Zulema's subsequent ousting forced an early exit for Tarah as well). There's even a surprise return of Season One's Daniel Franco, whose quivering voice and shuffle added even more spice to the pot.

This season's challenges included designing for Barbie, heiress Nicky Hilton, figure skater Sasha Cohen, and supermodel Iman; creating outfits from the clothes off their back; and designing a garden-party dress out of flowers and plants. Watching their creations (which are, in many cases, impressive) criticized by grumpy judges Michael Kors and Elle fashion director Nina Garcia makes for some of the best drama on television.

The DVD includes the full, uncut versions of Santino's runway argument with Nina and flamboyant contestant Andre's weepy breakdown in front of the judges (9 minutes, 53 seconds); more musical numbers invented by Santino and Nick ("No one's gonna sew no mooooore"); footage of the cast's audition tapes, and a Where Are They Now? featurette with Season One's contestants. A must-have accessory for fans of the show. --Ellen A. Kim

Customer Reviews

A GREAT DVD!!!
Although I watched the 2nd season several years ago, it was really great to see it again. Project Runway is a great show!

Perfect Condition
Thank you so much for shipping Project Runway Season 2 so fast and in such perfect condition. I really appreciate it. It's nice that your products are still packaged.. that proves that they are in great condition.

751 minutes of entertainment and inspiration
This was great inspiration while sewing my Halloween costume this year. I'm always doing stuff like that with a last minute got-to-get-it-done deadline, so I really felt a bond with the cast of the show. I noticed Santino seems to have his own line of shoes available on [...] now, so that is pretty cool!

I don't get cable tv, but I love reality shows and this one was so highly rated I thought I'd check it out. Besides, it's so inexpensive! I couldn't believe how cheaply I could get the four disc set. I noticed that some of the seasons are not only about twice as expensive but they are shorter as well. Too bad.

The bonus features on the last disk were not that exciting, but everything else about the set is fantastic. I just ordered season 3.
