Initially, I enjoyed watching Project Runway for the design element and happily recommended it because the drama was limited, but, unfortunately, that changed as the season progressed. I still watched each show, but, to spare me the histrionics, I kept one finger on the fast-forward button (thank you frustrating and inconsistant TiVo-like machine).
Many of the designs were ugly, impractical, and hardly original, yet, it was still interesting to see their designs come to fruition under tremendous pressure and time constraints. My favorite challenges were Innovation (grocery store items only - genius), Postal Uniform (reworking something drab that has been around all of our lifetime), and Year 2055 (what will we wear?).
Many of the designs were sold on Bravo's website and a few of them sold for less than fifty dollars. I tried to get Daniel's Garbage Bag Dress but someone bid fifteen dollars which was far more than the two bits I was willing to split with.
Wendy, the show's pariah, took a major beating in editing. Is Wendy really a bitch in "reality?" I don't know or even care, but I do think this, every characterization is based on a certain reality, just kicked up a few notches. Mark Burnett is a shoo-in for embellisher of the year.
So Jay's the first season winner, Kara Saun came in second, and Wendy third. In my eyes, all three are winners because they each had a great opportunity to display their talents to fashion industry decison makers and to a national, televised audience. Even Austin lucked out as he was asked to prepare a collection for New York Fashion Week in an attempt to conceal the identity of the final three.
Hopefully, Bravo will launch another season of this show and I would expect that the talent of subsequent casts, like American Idol's, will exceed first season levels. Tommy Hilfiger has a new show in development, The Cut, but I don't think I will watch it because Tommy isn't easy on the eyes (or the stomach).
By the by, is it just me, but doesn't Wendy look like a live incarnation of a Disney cartoon villain?

she's total cruella deville, in looks and personality. i was disappointed when she colors her hair brown for the finale. she should have left the cruella-ness intact. it suited her and make her a "unique character." now she looks like every other suburban mom who happens to know how to sew.
