Project Runway Kicks Off Its 10th Season

July 20, 2012

Project Runway Season 10Welcome back Project Runway! Although this is a big season for the show – 10 years is definitely an admirable accomplishment – after the first episode I’m already questioning if this season is going to be interesting or if it’s going to feel more like “been there, done that” rather than “making it work.”

First of all it seems like the powers that be went out of their way to find the nuttiest nutjobs out there – kind of like what MTV has done to destroy the once great Real World. Not to judge a book by its name but how is it possible that people named Buffi, Fabio, Gunnar and Kooan (no question the strangest of them all – in fact this guy looks like one of Peter Pan’s lost boys) are all in the same group of designers? I mean seriously – come on!

On another note, while this is the 10th season of the show, it’s the first that Heidi Klum is single. Not that it should matter – she has a job to do and the show, of course, must go on – but it is worth noting. Also, I find it interesting that for the first episode of the season they brought in two guest judges. Of course Patricia Field is a big deal designer who had the huge task of designing for Sex and the City for six years and charismatic actress Laurent Graham is always classy and fun, but why were they both on the same episode? Can Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia not handle making choices with just four judges or was this about kicking off the season with major star power? It’s not the end of the world but again, I do find it interesting.

So how will this season set itself apart? Based on the fact that Field was the first ever guest judge in the first season of Project Runway makes me think they will be doing a few throwbacks to celebrate their 10th anniversary which will be fun. I just hope it’s not an excuse to not seek out new people and new perspectives because that’s what has made this show interesting to me – a person who knows very little about sewing, clothes and fashion.

If nothing else the show will make summer television even more exciting than usual. Show us what you’ve got Runway – we’ll be watching.

    I think it is not just a diverse character spread, but a diverse design point of view among all the contestants. We still need to remember that this is a reality show so it never hurts to throw in some bitchy queens, mixed with an Eastern European ballroom dancer, topped off with a bat shit crazy Japanimation twink.

    I was wondering about the excess of judges but hopefully it was just to kick off the season premiere. I don’t have time to sit here and watch a million people give their opinion when the 3-4 judges they usually have are dynamic enough. Let’s not be a bunch of name dropping star f@*%kers, Heidi.

    Japanimation twink!!!! Love it!!!!

    Yes, I agree that the nutjobs make good television but I watch the show because I want to see impressive designs from talented people.

    Also, out of all the judges (guest or not) I care about Heidi Klum’s opinion the least….
