Customer Reviews

Even the "fashion ignorant" can appreciate this show!
The 12 designers have stand-out personalities that draw you in immediately, even if you don't have a clue about (or even an interest in) fashion. Each week the designers are given a challenge (such as buying their supplies from ONLY a grocery store with only $50 to make their first piece). They are put to the test both creatively and technically with each new challenge (such as redesigning the US Postal Service uniform or creating the perfect Grammy dress), and it gets really funny and bitchy at times. For each challenge, the designers are allowed to choose a model with whom to work by pulling numbers out of a hat to determine the order in which they get to choose, with the winner of the last challenge getting first choice. Each week, not only is one designer cut, but a model will be sent home as well. The top three designers go on to show their unique lines at New York's Fashion Week. The winner of that competition, as well as his/her model, receives impressive opportunities in the fashion industry!

The designers are judged by such fashion icons as Michael Kors, as well as world-famous supermodel Heidi Klum and occasional celebrity judges. The pieces they create range from funky to formal, simple to elaborate, extravagent to the completely outrageous!

I highly recommend this DVD, along with all the extras. There is no other reality show that can compare to Project Runway. It's really fun to root for your favorite designer, and you'll really feel for each one when they get cut.

Project Runway Makes it Work!
This DVD does not disappoint! It arrived so quickly and the extras (Wear are They Now and Deleted Seams) on it are a lot of fun. Nina Garcia talks to Jay and Julia while they prepare for the "Elle" photo shoot and then you realize they haven't really had a chance to talk before since she was a judge and could not interact with the designers. She comes off much nicer and even younger in this setting. I was glad to see the Reunion show was part of the set. I think it would have been nice to have the audition tapes of the designers included as well, but they're not. It was fun to go through my favorite challenges with the designers again and since it's commercial free, it's even better! I can hardly wait for Season 2 to come out on DVD now!

Absolutely amazing!
As a reality show junkie, I was skeptical that this show would offer anything new. Unlike other shows, the participants are judged on their talent alone. Backstabbing and plotting, which has become commonplace in other shows, will not save you here. As one designer will eventually discover...what goes around, comes around.


Another thing to note, Heidi Klum carries herself gracefully and isn't in your face, like other models with reality shows. She isn't building herself up and she never acts fake to impress other people.

This show was nominated for an Emmy after the first season. Trust me; it is the greatest reality show ever. If you live for fashion, you will appreciate the talent and technique on this program. It was unbelievable to watch these designers bring material to life in just a few hours. I gained enormous respect with anyone with the ability to sew and design. I cannot wait until season two! December 7 is marked on my calendar in INK.
