for those who weren’t aware, project runway packed up and left bravo for lifetime.

so in an ironic twist, bravo was given a task (much like the weekly challenges on project runway) of quickly throwing together a fashion reality show and what they hastily stitched together was the fashion show. it premiered tonight.

there’s only so many things you can try to do differently with this format, so it’s perfectly fine that this show is very much like its predecessor. but in many ways project runway is the hotter, well put-together older sister to the awkward younger sister fashion show going through puberty. project runway’s execution is just more elegant while the fashion show seemed too intent on doing anything to differentiate itself. I’m certain the fashion show will find its niche and come into its own but that’s not going to happen overnight.

but let’s talk about the “you’re fired” equivalent for this show… are you ready? it’s we’re not buying it. uh, are you KIDDING me? you’re sending someone home with THAT?
