Previously
on “Project Runway”: we had the usual makeover episode, with
women who “keep the city moving”. Everyone at least tried to do
what their clients wanted, except for Tessa, who told her client she
wasn't going to get a pink girly dress and then laughed about it to
the other designers. And then lied to Christian and the judges about
how her client loves dark colors. The judges are at least tired of
her arguing, but Jamall made a poorly constructed prom dress, and his
client loved it but it wasn't “him”, so of course Jamall was sent
home. Sebastian made a retro dress that was still modern and he won.

Project Runway 5/23/19--"New York City of Dreams" summary
Previously
on “Project Runway”: designers were asked to design a high
fashion look for a cause they want to promote. Everyone had a cause
to work on, although some of them didn't work for fashion looks.
Tessa made a dress referring to her sexual assault, and it was weird
because she alluded to it but didn't explain until an obvious
producer-planted question on the runway. It just felt like someone
decided to orchestrate that reveal for maximum emotion and it might
be Tessa but it certainly could be the producers. Also everyone had
to make T-shirts, but that was pretty low drama. Venny's shirt said
“i have a name” and black and white. I think it was the best by
far. Sadly his design had too many things going on, and was poorly
made, so he was sent home. Sebastian made a gorgeous gown with
different shades of skin tone, but he lost to Bishme, who was
supporting Baltimore youth with a dress with sequined faces. (click

Project Runway 5/16/19--"What Do You Care About?" summary
Previously
on “Project Runway”: the designers were asked to create stagewear
for Elton John. Imagine if Elton John asked you for a stagewear
outfit at the height of his popularity. Guest judge was the costume
designer for the upcoming biopic. Also the eliminated designers came
back to help. That didn't even cause any drama, except for Sonia kind
of acted like this was her design. But that was so minor. Bishme made
an amazing denim jumpsuit with rhinestones, but lost to Garo and his
silver jumpsuit and giant collar. The judges sent Lela home over
Venny, for being mediocre. (click for more)

Project Runway 5/9/19--"The Stitch Is Back" summary
Previously
on “Project Runway”: Morena Baccarin showed up to tell the
designers they needed to work in groups of three to make a capsule
collection for a trip to Rio. So they have to both make swimwear and
also match a client's style. Then Karlie and Nina weren't even on the
runway, which kind of maybe explains what went down. You know Nina
wouldn't tolerate this. So Hester made a swimsuit, which was sort of
OK except the backside did not fit at all. It was way too large, so
it was wrinkly, but it also gave her a wedgie. Not one word was
spoken about this. Even Hester acknowledged it was jacked up, but the
judges not only didn't mention it, they gave her the win. I know.
When she got back to the Scrap Bin, Tessa flat out told her that her
look sucked and then acted like she wasn't being petty. Renee tried
to make pants in a new way but they were terrible and she was
eliminated. (click for more)

Project Runway 5/2/19--"Blame It on Rio" summary
Previously
on “Project Runway”: everyone got a clear Lucite handbag from
Brandon, with a random object inside. Each designer had to make an
elegant design inspired by whatever was in the handbag they took.
Tessa, sadly, declared several times that she did not want a
plus-sized model. Tessa, you should have won the video game challenge
but come on. To be perfectly fair, the two plus sized models (who
aren't even plus sized, but have a deep front porch if you know what
I mean) are the last two, so it's not like Tessa was alone in her
opinion. Hester decided she was going to waste her immunity on a
mermaid gown with pasties, because of course she did. Jamall was due
for some personal growth so he draped his fabric instead of using
muslin, so everyone (literally everyone) praised him for personal
growth and he won. Even though his dress had weird pouches and
draping. Sonia didn't have time to make everything she wanted, and
the dress she did make was too boring, so she was eliminated. (click
