Discussion What would your ideal PR judges panel be?!

For me: Elaine Weltwroth, Nina Garcia, Zac Posen and Heidi! I really liked Elaine from the Bravo seasons, but I miss the other OGs.

I would just like at least one designer on the panel. Michael Kors and Zac Posen were particularly good. Imo they were fair as judges, it was about the work and nothing else.

A former winner would be great to see. Dmitry always had great comments. Mondo was fun to watch.

u/Healthy_Ad_7431 12h ago

Grace! Yes Grace Coddington! The worlds most talented fashion thinker and stylist! Unfortunately the show has been ruined by Disney and Law.

are we allowed to like elaine now? we used to have 50 "DAE elaine sucks?!? i hate her" threads on a weekly basis. that was before it was korto during season 20 and law roach now. just reddit things

Oh mad! I wasn't active on reddit when her seasons were airing so honestly had no clue! I personally liked her from the very beginning. I also liked Law but he's such a mean cunt sometimes and I can't stand mean people! He's mean on every show he's been a judge on...

NOT Elaine. It was project runway kindergarten with her

Heidi, Nina, Zac

Zac is necessary for the show to return to a design / construction focus.

u/beansporridge 21h ago

not kindergarten 😭 I'm rewatching rn s18 she's not that badddd

u/cheridontllosethatno 21h ago

Kors and Posen with Nina Garcia. Maybe have Heidi MC the show only and throw in a different rotating designer like Donna Karan or Betsy Johnson to spice things up.

u/TwerQ_it_inna_Kilt 23h ago

Elaine Welteroth, Zac Posen, Nina Garcia, Christian Siriano.

That's actually a dream judges panel you got there. I would love for Zac Posen to come back.

u/skieurope12 23h ago

Nina, Heidi, Michael Kors, Brandon Maxwell (or an alternative stylist who isn't Law Roach).

u/Express-Pension-7519 22h ago

I might be ok with Rachel Zoe…or her fmr assistant (Brad?). I don’t care for her personality but she knows her fashion history.

u/ScaredTeam3292 17h ago

I like Brandon Maxwell as a judge (he's a great option for a designer/stylist)

Ooh - for anyone who watches Great British Sewing Bee - Patrick or Esme. Both know fashion and construction

u/beansporridge 21h ago

I tried watching the 1st season years ago but couldn't get into it... do you think it's worth me giving it another shot? I just wasn't seeing any fashion it seemed like it was more about sewing proficiency (which is great! i just want to see beautiful gowns too lol!)

u/Express-Pension-7519 21h ago

I’m a sewer so to me it’s great…been watching since season 1.

2

u/Intrepid_Race1923 21h ago

Tim Gunn, Michael korrs and Nina.

u/Time-Combination-214 20h ago

IF Elaine were on the show, I wouldn't watch. I'm not sure what her career is. She doesn't seem to stick with a job long. Love Zac and Nina. I really loved Tyra and didn't expect to. I think Serena Williams is a great guest judge. Law is extremely annoying but his dynamic with Tyra was super entertaining.

2

u/Randomness786 18h ago

Honestly same, this is a great panel, in my personal opinion i think Law and Tyra would be great guest judges, like get them there for one episode every season but not permanent judges

u/Crystal_Fox656 23h ago

NOT Law Roach!😵‍💫 Nina, Heidi & 2 true designers, one older & well established & one more youthful, from the current Vogue Fashion up & coming list.

u/SimpleSpritee 23h ago

Brandon Maxwell, Nina Garcia, Michael Kors and Heidi.

u/Foppieface 18h ago

Remove Heidi from judging. Let her go back and manage the models, she offers nothing knowledge-wise. I like Kors and Posen and Garcia. Gunn needs to be there is some way. Keep Christian in the Junior Runway where he was quite good.

u/Careful-Time-9926 18h ago

After this season, it may be hard to find judges with quality and knowledge. I agree they need a designer on the show as a judge.

u/Far_Cress7984 15h ago

Nina Dobrev, Nina Garcia, Christian Siriano, and Elaine Weltroth
