Congratulations, Nicolas

When presented with this challenge you knew immediately that you wanted the science fiction genre. You spun a fantastic tale involving an ice queen and you knew exactly how she would look and the kind of gossamer gown that she would wear. After Tim's critique, you understood that this was the time to show your skill with costume and drama and your styling and makeup further enhanced this evil beauty of your fantasies. The regal results did not leave the judges chilly; John Varvatos said the detail was spectacular and Zoe Glassner called it clever, bold and risky. Your frosty fashion was a tour de force in snowy sequins and alabaster-hued applique. Good show, Nicolas!

BPR Love for Ra'mon-Lawrence Coleman


In 'Rumble on the Runway' you triumphed as a non-leader in a team challenge, a Project Runway first. In that episode you thought and worked quickly and your efforts paid off when you made Nina Garcia happy with your neoprene dress. In another Runway first Tim Gunn purchased that outfit for Nina; we'd love to see her in it! This week your concept was too ambitious for the amount of time allocated and sadly Nina was not on hand to judge your efforts. You were still able to show a collection for Spring 2010 and no doubt we will witness more success from you in the future as a talented designer with a vision.

BPR at Epperson and Logan Neitzel's Show



Jes Switaj is back with a report from Epperson and Logan's show. Thanks Jes!

Epperson & Logan Neitzel Spring 2010 Show - 9/14/09



On Monday morning I attended Epperson and Logan Neitzel's collective fashion show. It was held at The Garment Room, normally a boutique for vintage designer clothing. The below-ground space was colorfully done up with collaged and graffitied walls.



Logan showed first with fabric choices from flowing chiffons to sleek leathers. His color palette was strictly black, white and royal blue. The overall feel of the collection was Grecian goddess meets Roman gladiator with the tiniest pinch of Mad Max thrown in for good measure.

BPR at Gordana Gehlhausen's Show

BPR's intrepid field reporter, Jes Switaj was at Gordana's show on Monday night, and sends us this report. Thanks Jes!

Monday evening I attended Gordana's Spring 2010 Collection fashion show. It was held at the Sam Brocato Salon in Soho. The event was catered with a lavish fruit and cheese table, sangria and a wine tasting. Guests mingled and indulged for about an hour before the show began. Several other Project Runway alumni as well as a few Season Six models were in attendance.



Gordana's collection was very spring and was inspired by The Lady of the Lake and incorporated elements of that time period into modern design. Just about everything in the collection was made in white or pastel shades of green, blue, yellow and pink.
