You had to just be in awe of the artistry, especially in the candy challenge, the avant-garde challenge, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art visit. Sixteen new hopefuls are ready to … Season 13There was some drama this season from Korina Emmerich vs. Char Glover, Sandhya Garg vs. everyone else's taste, and Kini Zamora being robbed (at least from here). Season 9The 2011 season had a tough start when we had to watch the 20 designers pitch themselves to the panel to earn one of the 16 spots. There weren't too many standout moments this year, other than eventual winner Irina Shabayeva getting the nickname "Meana Irina" even though she wasn't even that mean... compared to others in the franchise. Tim Gunn also appears during the final scenes, typically complimenting the model and reminding her that she must promptly pack up and head home. "Heidi Klum struts into eighth season with 90-minute ‘Project’" By Amy Amatangelo, Thursday, July 29, 2010 Excerpt: "She did concede that Lifetime’s decision to give “Runway” another half-hour might have something to do with the cancellation of “Models of the Runway,” the 30-minute show that followed the catwalkers who wore the contestants’ designs", https://web.archive.org/web/20100729192023/http://news.bostonherald.com/entertainment/television/general/view.bg?articleid=1270843, Models of the Runway Official Network Site, Models of the Runway on RealityTVmagazine, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Models_of_the_Runway&oldid=966072537, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 5 July 2020, at 00:38. 11. (It's a motherf--king walk-off!) Check Out the Finale Collections, Where to watch Chadwick Boseman's ABC News tribute and his most important roles, Danny DeVito and Chaka Khan discuss lending their voices to the characters in 'The One and Only Ivan', Geraldine Viswanathan, Dacre Montgomery, and writer/director Natalie Krinsky discuss 'The Broken Hearts Gallery'. Models of the Runway was a television series on the Lifetime network. But it was really frustrating that so much of this season focused on Anya Ayoung-Chee having no sewing experience and not even knowing how to make a sleeve. 13. Instead, Austin Scarlett and Santino Rice are starring in their own show "On the Road with Austin and Santino". It was frustrating, and even though the season gave us a strong winner in Michelle Lesniak, a good winner can't save a troubled season. Keith Michael was disqualified for rule violations, including having pattern-making books, but, overall, this season is still more memorable for the good things -- like the fan favorite designers and the strong fashions -- than the controversies. His final collection was strong, but so were the very different but still impressive pieces all season from Laura Bennett, Mychael Knight, and the perpetually robbed Uli Herzner. Season 10The Boris and Natasha dynamic of Dmitry Sholokhov and Elena Slivnyak was worthy of its own spinoff, and they were both incredible designers. Near the end of each show, a selection process occurs, during which Project Runway fashion designers choose which model they wish to work with for the week. 'The War With Grandpa' Interviews with Robert De Niro and Jane Seymour. 7. 4. Justin LeBlanc was a welcome respite, but, overall, this season seemed more about dramatic personalities than design. It's still crazy that Jillian's Twizzler dress didn't even win anything. So here's our very subjective but still definitive worst-to-best ranking, which may only be challenged by a glare from Nina Garcia, an eye roll from Michael Kors, a "make it work" from Tim Gunn, or an "out" from Heidi Klum. If it were up to us, "Project Runway" would never be "out," it would just play on a loop 24/7/365.
