Did Project Runway Thrill You Last Night?

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

I'll be honest, I was nervous about Project Runway's new home, Lifetime, and new location, Los Angeles. But after watching last night, I'm hooked again. The first challenge was to create a red-carpet gown - fitting seeing as how they're in Hollywood. Lindsay Lohan served as guest judge, along with constants Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors. As for the designers, as usual, some are exceptional, some are so not, and the rest are in between. So far, Ra'mon, Johnny, and Christopher have shown promise, the latter taking the crown last night. Did you tune in? What did you think?

Sneak Peek! Project Runway, Season Six

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 10:36:25 -0700

It's been a while since there's been any Project Runway talk on Fab. Well, besides that nasty lawsuit. But all has been settled and our favorite fashion reality show will return on Lifetime Aug. 20. So what do you say we start getting to know the 16 designers and their previous work? There are eight males and eight females, and it's never too early place dibs on who will make it to the end. Judging from his sketches, Johnny looks like he has major potential. Who are you backing?

FABTV: Bravo Replaces Project Runway With The Fashion Show

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 15:00:22 -0700

The hammer has fallen. The never-ending fight over Project Runway has finally settled in favor of Lifetime. A big loss for Bravo but the network isn't going to cry over spilled milk. Bravo has already announced a new fashion show replacing the former called The Fashion Show.

The reality fashion show rotates around seasoned professionals - compared to Project's newbie designers - and will feature designer Isaac Mizrahi and former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland as the hosts, with Fern Mallis as the judge along with other special guests. The twist? Each episode will feature a fashion show criticized not only by Fern and guest judges, but also by live studio audience members - interesting. The winner of the show will have his/her designs picked up by a major retailer. Interested? Meet the cast of the show and let us know what you think!

Fab Flash: The Battle Over Project Runway Continues

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:00:22 -0700

The drama continues: Bravo and Lifetime are still fighting over Project Runway. The Weinstein Co. has filed an appeal after a judge ruling in NBC's favor blocking the show's move from Bravo to Lifetime.

“Obviously we will be appealing and remain committed to our partners,” said the company.

As the companies battle it out, everything will remain the same and season six filming continues - with its home to be determined.

NBC Universal, who was ordered to pay a $20 million bond, and The Weinstein Co. are due back in court Oct. 15 to (finally) settle the matter. With everything up in the air, we can't but wonder if Nina Garcia and Marie Claire will still be part of the show. Hopefully, everything will be resolved before the sixth season airs.

FABTV: Jamiroquai "Spend a Lifetime"

FabSugar — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:12:22 -0700

This has no bells and whistles. Sometimes a song doesn't need any of that. It's all about the lyrics. Ever need to switch the song because you get choked up listening to it? There are a few songs that have that effect on me - this is one of them. Jamiroquai is a longtime favorite of mine; he's funky, multitalented (adorable dance moves), and wears really fun hats. This song is so sweet, so romantic, it would bring any girl to tears, especially while on her honeymoon. Don't let the kindergarten script deter you, this song is about some serious love.

First we gushed over the fabulous clothes, and now it's time to dig into Rachel Rachel Roy's equally adorable jewels.

There's also snake motifs, wing rings, chain bracelets, and pirate's booty necklaces.
