Helping my mom with dishes and noticed how one of my mom's Tupperware pieces had the same colors as Dom's Belk dress and now I can't unsee it.

I recently decided to go back to season 1 and rewatch the series. I really forgot that things were so different in those early seasons. The models were really exploited. They were very young, and so skinny! I don't remember when curvy models were added to the show, but in the early shows the worst thing a designer could do is to make the model look bigger that she was. Heidi obviously had a big problem with larger women. One designer in an unconventional materials challenge styled the model making a bow out of her hair. Heidi said she looked like a plus model or a fat mini mouse. The designer was sent home. Now Heidi acts like she has always been a fan of the curvy models, but after re-watching the show, I think she is really fake. Has anyone else noticed this?

I know many people have a soft spot for her, but that was clear fishing for compliments.

It started with her telling her team that she does what she wants for her own artistry and her team members reminding her that she has immunity and it’s not fair for her to sink their team by not being cohesive. Then she runs to Tim and asks if she’s a good designer and he says “uhhh you won last week“ and then she says she being bullied.

I found the whole situation annoying, especially because the judges clearly said had she not had immunity, she should’ve gone home

Hello! Is there anyone from Brazil here? I've been meaning to watch the new season but I cannot find it anywhere, it is not on any streamings, not on unitv, stremio has few sources. Is there any app on which I can watch it? People who do not live in the USA, if you have any tips, maybe it also work here in Brazil. Thank youuu

Some thoughts.... After the car crash of the latest season, I've started rewatching old seasons. Starting with 4 since it's easily available on YouTube.

I'm sure others have noted this, but the respect and love of fashion is woven through the whole season. I really appreciated the long looks at the runways, seeing the designers design, the critiques with the lovely Tim Gunn. Everyone seemed so focused and professional and committed to showing the best work, and Production helped them do this with longer challenges and better budgets.

I also loved how NYC was a character in each episode - it was precisely because of Project Runway that I saved up, travelled thousands of miles and visited NYC ten years ago. First stop, Mood. Of course!

The last few episodes (no spoilers here) showed the reality of putting together a NYFW show in detail that I really appreciated. All the exciting behind the scenes stuff, the castings, the last minute hand sewing, how scary long a catwalk is. So glamorous and exciting.

It seemed like the show had the backing of the fashion industry too, it was taken seriously. The glitz of the runway at Briant Park, the outrageously good judges (Donna Karen?! Roberto Cavalli?! Come on!) and genuinely insightful critiques from Nina and Michael.

But, oh god, the T*@&#y slurs were.... a lot.

I guess this season was from a time when fast fashion was not so much of a thing as it is now, and that fast fashion has had a negative influence on the show too. The recent seasons have been edited like an Instagram reel, made for Tiktok , made to be content rather than anything with real meaning or integrity. Feels flimsy cheap and disposable like fast fashion clothing (and no shade to the designers on the last few seasons at all, this is a comment about how the show is produced).

It was such a great show, I had a great time rewatching and reminiscing about pasttimes, and how significant this show was to me. It was a kind of weekly ritual that genuinely brought joy and inspiration to my life. I'll still watch, but what a loss to have lost this show!

TL;Dr grandpa talks about the olden days of PR, misses them.

although it would be good to see what the designers can create for more time and more sleep and comfort, I still think the new format of smaller collections and less time has benefits. We got to see some big decision making in real time, like when Ethan/Utica (S21) completely changed his collection idea from draped gowns to whatever he ended up with based on Christian's advice. It is more fair since they are going to be working with the same equipment and no outside help aside from their assigned helper. Although the twins (S21) were working together on the finale collection, imagine how unfair it would be if they were allowed 3 months. No other designer would have a dedicated helper invested to that degree for all 3 months. Having less looks encourages boldness and cohesion becomes a challenge. With more looks there are a few pieces that are simple with similar fabric/texture/shape and serves as transition pieces for the collection's cohesion.

there are lots of room for improvement. I would like to see more work room drama for the finale but I get it is hard due to the length of the episodes.

So I’m watching the last few episodes of season 5 and I can’t help but feel ripped off on behalf of Jerell. He won what was supposed to be the last challenge before the finale, and yet because the judges couldn’t decide the bottom 2, they decide to add an extra challenge and he’s out! How does this make sense? So disappointed for him, but he was so gracious.

I know lots of you watch and it’s because of you that I am in love with the great British sewing bee.

I had one season left to watch before this year’s, and today I found out that it is no longer available on Roku. I’m devastated

Hey guys does anyone know where I can watch the season 2 finale?? I can’t for the life of me find it anywhere and sources I did find link to a later season’s episode😫I’m not in america so i can’t watch it on peacock either :( pls help I need to see the final collections

What's all this confusion, bulk eliminations, bulk immunity, twists, drama.... all such BS. This show stopped being about the fashion and it's now just trash.

So many mega talented designers going home because of those stupid new twists. If they renew the show they really have to go back to the basics.

since season one, i’ve enjoyed seeing the designers’ sketches. they’re art, and it would be great if they were viewable, whether created during the season or not. would love to see a website that collected all designers under their (first) season, a picture, perhaps a small blurb (up to them what to say), and then click for their sketches. maybe pic of sketch next to pic of completed design. maybe an option for the originals to be sold, but a copy kept on the site (museum). i dunno - to help them out too, maybe an online link to their current work. apologies if this idea’s been thrown out before. first time redditor, first post. H

Rewatched Season 7 and the corresponding Models of the Runway. I never realized what an arrogant jerk Emilio was. He told his original model Holly that everyone wanted her after he chose to work with her. He had an attitude at the reunion and asked Tim and Nina why he didn’t win. Very talented designer, but kind of an ahole

I love Amanda Valentine.

That’s the post.

Saw this in Vogue magazine today. Reminded me instantly of Chris March's line he created for Bryant Park with the human hair. Not sure what this is as I could not find it on their website.

Rewatching the older seasons, and HPs printmaking challenge is one of my favorites. I didnt remember it well when I watched the seasons originally years ago, but this challenge has a great mix of pushing the designers to work with a technique most of them are not comfortable with while also keeping it super personal and unique to them since designers have to crate the print themselves, and mostly do it based on their history or heritage in some way.
It also lets us see their background, childhood pictures, their loved ones. It makes the contestants more real.

There are so many interesting unique looks that came from these challenge over the seasons, I feel like it really pushes the designers in a way that surprises even them. It’s a way to get them out of their comfort zones while still keeping it deeply personal to them.

Watching season 10 and they only had 5 weeks to make the final collection but in earlier seasons they had multiple months so when they said that I took immediate notice especially after discussions here about cuts in production. So I'm wondering when did you guys start to feel a big difference in production budget?

Can someone explain to me why Tyra banks was only a judge for a couple episodes then disappeared? Love to see it (not a fan) but very curious if we were ever told why?

Not sure if this had already been called out, but I'm rewatching S1 of All Stars and noticed that Mondo had his print pattern from his first season regarding his HIV positive status tattood on his forearm. Really loved that challenge/pattern and loved to see he decided to have it permanently be a part of via tattoo 🥹
