It´s only one day to count down to the 10th season of "Project Runway". This is a show i realy love. Not for the stars but for the fresh ideas the designers to be show in the challenges. Yes, it´s also entertaining to hear the critism but i think as everything concerning art, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder. It´s hard to jugde fashion and creativity. Some outfits of the last seasons which were labeled as failure by the judges were pretty stylish and realy nice to my eye. However the star of the show is Tim and of the judges i love Nina Garcia the most. The interview with Heidi Klum is nontheless interesting. Here a few questions i liked, the full article and can be found at http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/blogs/project-runway-blog.
Q: What’s it been like being back for the tenth season for you, as the host and judge?
Heidi: It’s been amazing. It’s been ten seasons and we all would’ve never thought that we would make it this far. Michael [Kors] always says that we’re on longer than "I Love Lucy", which we always laugh about, and I can’t believe it. Ten seasons is a milestone. It’s a long time. And even though we’ve been doing it for ten seasons I still love coming to work every season. I love being with Michael and I love being with Nina and Tim. They’re all so much fun, and we have become a family. It is always exciting to see these new designers. They’re young people that come here with green eyes and not really knowing 100% what this business is about and they’re not jaded. It’s always fun to have these people that are so hungry for it all. I started "Project Runway" from the very beginning, going around New York City trying to sell the show to networks and trying to explain what the show was all about. I’m very proud of it. It’s like it’s one of my babies. I love the show and I love what it’s become.
Q: Can you tell us how you think this group of designers compares to past groups, in terms of talent level?
Heidi: It’s always hard to compare, and each season fashion evolves and so do our designers. I think we have some [designers] on this season that are not that talented and we quickly see that. We have some that are really amazing that have come up with new things, where we sit there and we’re like, "Wow, we haven’t seen anything like that." So it’s always mixed. There are always some designers there that aren’t that great that we’re hoping to be better and they just aren’t. And then there are some that blow us away and they do beautiful work in the time that they have. So it’s always both, good and bad.
Q: Is there one memory that stands out in your mind from the first day or from the first season that you knew that you had something special on your hands?
Heidi: I always say it was after the very first challenge. I gave the designers $50 and one day and they had to go to the grocery store. I was so worried about this. The producers and I were all sitting together before and we thought, "Unconventional material challenge. That will either set the tone and either showcase the designer’s talent, or we will just tank because it will all look like arts and crafts projects." So we were a little bit worried about it, but at the same time we jumped in the cold water and we just gave it a shot. I’m so happy that we did, because the very first episode set the tone of what the show’s all about. It’s about creativity, innovation, people who have great talents and can really make clothes out of anything. We wanted to make sure of that.
Q: We have been hearing gossip that a couple of the designers left the show early under unusual circumstances. I wondered if that’s going to be something we’ll see on the show itself and if you could tell us anything about it?
Heidi: Yes, you will definitely see it on the show. This has never happened to us before. I think they just couldn’t make it work. We always say, "Make it work. Make it work." They just could not make it work, and in the morning they were gone. They literally packed up their bags and ran off in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping. We just couldn’t believe it.
