Project Runway Australia
Project Runway Australia went to air last night and admittedly, I was pleasantly surprised. For those who are shamlessly not familiar with this television show, it consists of 12 aspiring fashion designers who compete on their creativity for a prize to be awarded at the end of the 12 week process. A contestant is eliminated each week and the last standing will win AU $100,000 to put towards launching their own collection. Kristy Hinze did an exceptional job as the host and most of the designers came up with amazing evening dresses which under the very tight time restrictions and with a limited choice of fabrics, is commendable. The show flowed well and it was great to watch but it didn't feel very Australian. The foreign accents and the unfamiliar faces didn't bring it home. Other than that, it gets my nod of approval for episode one. My prayers go out to Jason Brunsdon who is my favourite panelist and is currently battling cancer. Project Runway Australia is on Arena on Mondays at 8:30pm. For more information, visit Project Runway Australia.
