Despite his neckbeard and sassy head snaps his work is a little J Crew WASP-y with lots of tweeds and layering.
More Cape Cod than Fire Island
Up next is Lantie- who starts us off right by telling us she is 38, and then bursting into laughter as the editors reveal she is 48. Not that she’s in denial or anything. She has her own design studio in the garment center in NY, which as I understand is not low rent and I’m thinking this put-together cougar either has talent or another source of income.
What’s a decade among friends?
We now meet Elena – she is edgy like Buffi, but dark like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is also not a stranger to a razor.
Shaved is the new “Rachel”
Her work is dark, futuristic and all ripped from the backstage of a Marilyn Manson show.
The Girl with the Eyeliner Tattoo
And now for the decoder ring in the crackerjack box – Kooan Kosuke. Remember that name because I will never type it again. He is a Japanese cartoon character with Chia Pet hair and no interest in the advancements of orthodontics. Based on some of the mini-cap comments I understand him to be a normal part of Japanese culture. Men who behave like exaggerated children to amuse others.
We have those too. We call them clowns
He claims his work is seen as costume-but he claims it’s not. I would agree, people enjoy dressing up in costumes. Someone else aptly says it’s Japanese street fashion. I’m taking that to mean things found on the street glued to people.
Or maybe the people are glued to things?
We now meet Tara Reid’s less strung-out younger sister. She went to college to be a lawyer but looked around and said “these are not my people” and up and changed her whole life plan. I admire someone who is brave enough to scrap the wrong path and head in a new direction but my advice to her is she may not want to look too hard around this workroom if she doesn’t want to flush another decade down the drain. Also pay full price for liposuction.
“Oh damn, also not my people”
She loves black, she loves black and white films and photography and that’s how she sees life. I bet this show will introduce her quickly to both color and the concept of “grey areas”. Although her work is pretty, it doesn’t bode well that she only uses the word black to describe her style. Last time I checked black was not a style. Exception – Samuel L Jackson.

How sad that the designer with THE BEST GAMER NAME EVER is nothing more than a mean girl. Shame on you, Gunnar.
Love Christopher and I’m hoping he doesn’t get a head as big as Parsons. If he does, he and Kors won’t both fit in the studio.
I like Buffi but then I’m a garish kinda girl in spirit. Not in fact; I wouldn’t wear her clothes but I’d dream about wearing them.
Mist of the others are just a blur at this point but we do actually seem to have some talent here. Maybe Dimitri should hook up with Irina from season 6, if she’s still around. He seems like Russian Eeyore. Wonder if he’ll be cutting before too long?
It took me a minute to realize Gunnar and Christopher weren’t twins. And another minute to realize they weren’t even related.
It’s too early for me figure out who I like yet. It seems there’s actually talented this year, so hopefully this season and the challenges will be interesting.
Great job stepping in to fill Flipit’s shoes Mia. I really enjoyed your recap!
Are those leopard spots tattooed on the side of Buffi’s head? Every time she was on the screen I was fascinated with figuring out what was going on there.
I am so happy to have the regular format and judges back!!
Ugh…Gunnar.
What is with half these people being from New York? Jeez PR can we get out of the city for some diversity. And even more oddly there are 2 people form Kentucky. I feel obligated to root for Gunnar (who is the youngest btw, not Chris) because he’s from my hometown but I’m really having a hard time. He’s like Josh 2.0 and I couldn’t stand him. Chris is adorable but he is total Chunklite and the resemblance is painful for me because I hate Chunk. Kooan is just a little too much for me. I’ve only ever met one authentic Japanese person (meaning born and grew up there) and she was nothing like him. I’m like kind of expecting him to literally start bouncing off the walls at any moment.
@Pawesl I’ve met quite a few Japanese people. And only a few of them have been cartoony like Kooan.
Great recap!! Anyone else think that Gunnar aka “Skunk” is a version of Josh from last season and that Christopher is a version of Michael Costello aka “Chunk”!! LOL!!
@cmw Totally. Mention on the minicap that I hated, HATED, Josh, so any retread of his bitchitude is more then I can stand. And Chris is Chunk-Lite, but I think I will like him more then Costello. Too soon to tell for sure. Although his Toddlers & Tiaras comment was made of win.
Great recap Mrs.Mia! “Afrasian” had me rolling.
Oh, and I refuse to believe his name is Gunnar. That’s right, I’m a PR-Birther. Show me a birth certificate!
Well, “Deatherage” does indeed appear to be a legit family name. Who’d have guessed that?
Is it possible Afrasian is doing the Japanese version of the fey gay stereotype? Whatever. I keep picturing him in a schoolgirl’s outfit in a remake of Battle Royale.
Why am I wildly attracted to Nina Garcia? It’s not like I have a thing for reptiles. Why? Why?
But I’m pretty certain that Buffi idiot has a bad case of scabies. Ew.
Gotta love a Highlights reference.
Brava, Mia. I am still giggling at “Winner winner chicken dinner.”
OMG, Mrs.Mia – had to stop half-way through to address the Goofus and Galant reference as I was transported back to being 6 years old and in the dentist’s office. LOVE it (and love the recap!)! Will be back after I’ve finished!
Fantastic debut, Mrs.Mia! Too many laugh-out-louds to mention. You hit it out of the park and I can’t wait to read all of your recaps this season. XXOO
Every season I watch a show or two, and I think Project Runway couldn’t possibly get gayer. And then, the next season of hyperstereotypes prance into the design room, and PR shows me that I have NO CONCEPT of how gay this show can get…
@itchy I stand corrected. Apparently, he posted his birth certificate on Facebook. It’s a shame such an amazing name is wasted on such a tool. The sad thing is that last year, during casting, he was sweet and humble. Now, he’s such a Joshette, I don’t even care if he’s talented. Sure, it might keep him on TV longer, but he will turn off a lot people with his bitchitude.
“Edward Swisherhands”. Bwahahahahaha
Great recap, Mia! Loved the screencaps also! Thanks!!
Nina was wearing Dolce&Gabbana and no amount of jewels could make me pass that hem, reminds me of those tacky door curtains!
@MrsMiaWallace: Well done! Flipit is a tough act to follow, but I found it difficult to contain my laughter at work!
@Pawesl: My first thought on Gunnar was “Josh 2.0″ – right down to the eyebrows. I don’t think I can handle that for another season. I’m worried that he’ll win. I don’t think PR has had a “redemption storyline” yet – contestsant doesn’t make it onto the show and then comes back to win.
@MrsMiaWallace – Fantastic cap! Lots of LOL moments! Looking forward to seeing what you make of the rest of the season – you’ll certainly have plenty of material!
I agree with everyone – Skunk seems to have deliberately modeled himself on Josh. Except that Josh was actually (intermittently) funny, and had (a modicum of) talent. And Chris totally = Chunk Lite. Please, let there be tears . . .
Sonjia is an alumni of my college–we’re all so proud! Very cool; hope she goes far.
I’m with the rest, MM, aka Mrs. Mia, great recap, and great start! You grabbed the perfect facial
expressions for you captions! Loved the last one of skunk! I imagine skunk is going to be the
wig-out quitter, he seems to be focused so much on competing and being on TV, and not on
fashion! My early have is elaini . . . love me some SCi-fi fashion!!!
not sure why but i really liked the all black girl
christopher was great, but i may get tired of him soon. i also love him because gunnar hates him.
the guy with the rose shirt bothered me for some reason, but his rose shirt was good.
My money is on Boston! Love her! I bet she’s in the top three, prolly with fatmorph. I also dig Afrasian, ( great nickname Mia). He reminds me of this guy I went to college with, who delt really good drugs…. Or at least that’s what I heard……
Skunk just wants Christopher so bad, he’s such a child. Also, they really do look alike, Christopher just happens to be better in every single way.
