5 ways to fix Project Runway
1. Bring back Michael Kors (or hire someone like him):
Meaning someone in the same level of importance in the industry. Michael's commentaries are also some of the most hilarious in PR history. He is thoughtful and entertaining and brings gravitas to the show.
I'm ok with Heidi and Nina actually.
But before PR I have no idea who Zac Posen is and many of their boring clueless guest judges. Like Kelly Osbourne is only in the business cause her rich parents got her there.
2. Move the production to the west coast.
They have exhausted all of NY's style and resources the past 15 seasons. The west cost will instantly bring a completely new energy to the production, the type of challenges, and variety of contestants.
3. That silly "we don't know which designer designed which look" none-sense.
Whenever Heidi says it, I instantly think they're just hiding their favorites and plants. Who are they fooling. Contestants tap each other's shoulders and congratulate each other while a model walks and they're right in front of the judges.
If they keep this, they need to fix how it works.
4. Age of contestants.
I don't know what the minimum age of contestant is, but they need to lower it to 18. I've not seen late teens on this show. They're too old for the PRJunior, and they're super creative and that's the age of exploration. They missing out big time.
5. Show more of the behind the scenes.
Bring back the models selection and what happens the scenes. Am I the only one who find this entertaining? Lets face it, models are a huge draw in fashion shows, designer hires names based on their look alone. They're a huge part of the "shows".
I also want to see more of the designer process. Some season ago, they showed that Mondo don't sketch, and instead makes notes. I wanted to see how that his story translate from the notes to the garment. I thought it was fascinating editing, but they didn't show many of it.
