Amanda's Take - Season 10, Episode 2, Candy Couture



Amanda Fields examines each model's performance in the episode.


A highlight:



Elena's model looks like she hates life. She can't stand that dress, can't stand the day she's having, can't stand the whole idea. I know that you can wear something crazy and make it look great. It's all in the face!

Thank you Amanda!

A New Interview with Viktor Luna


Madly Chic scored an interview with Project Runway Season 9 finalist, Viktor Luna. 


A highlight: 


What is your design aesthetic? 


Sophistication punctuated with dark sensuality and a punk rock pulse. My collection is for the woman who is empowered, elegant, and edgy. Black is the color of luxury. I always like to use black but there’s a thought process behind it. I’m not sending out just a sheer black blouse. There are a lot of details like trimming and fastenings that are missed on TV. 


I hope people see that in my work. I think forward in what’s coming and what’s going to be on trend, and I try to capture it before other people do. There’s a thought process in everything I design. I don’t just design for my pleasure; I design for people.

Tonight On BPR

Photo: Barbara Nitke
It's unconventional materials challenge night on Project Runway and we get to re-visit one of our favorites from the past - a trip to the candy store! In Season 4, Rami Kashou designed the winner at the Hershey's store that Paula Abdul later bought at auction for $3,000. It also featured a design by Kit Pistol that was later worn by a bride at Dylan's Candy Bar, the site of tonight's challenge.


Team BPR is on hand again for all of your PR game day fun. Here's the plan:

  • Tbone, suzq and the usual cast of BPR crazies will be hosting a live play by play/party room beginning at 8:45 p.m. All are welcome to watch and snark along with us.
  • After the show, be sure to post your thoughts in our weekly reactions thread. Didn't agree with the judges? Tell us all about it.
It should be a pretty sweet time tonight on BPR!
