So, was anyone else as excited as I was for the Project Runway Season Premiere? I've been a fan of this show since the first season and - unlike most other reality tv shows several seasons in - Project Runway never fails to disappoint. Each season brings a new group of talented designers, even more impressive than the last.
The 7th season brings back some old favorites - all 3 judges have returned - Heidi Klum (post pregnancy), Michael Kors (always witty and charming), Nina Garcia (helpful, yet firm), and - best of all - the show is back in New York! The guest judge for this episode was Nicole Ritchie - socialite and holder of the title for best make over ever (Thanks, Rachel Zoe)!
There are also some new updates, including the new touch screen electronics the designers will be using to complete their sketches. All in all, the season offered exactly what I was expecting - high-paced fashion designers, comedic one-liners from Tim Gunn, and Heidi Klum's catch phrase final words to the eliminated contestant. As for the results of the first show, I would have to agree with the judges decisions. Winner Emilio Sosa showcased an elaborate design, even going the extra distance by creating his own weaving pattern onto the fabric of the dress.
Surprisingly, I was very impressed with runner-up, Ping Wu's design. In the initial stages of her design, it was difficult to envision the final result, however, in the end, her outfit delivered and definitely showed her unique perspective. I was glad to see designer Anthony Williams survive the bottom three to sew another week. His over-the-top commentary would have been missed. But more importantly, he gets another opportunity to show why he was chosen to be apart of the show. Keep him on your radar for a comeback!
For those of you who have yet to see the show and are planning on catching the rerun, I won't spoil it by revealing who went home. Until next week, in the words of Heidi, Auf Wiedersehen!
