Fashion shows are a means where fashion designers get to show off his or her latest designs to the world. The pioneer American fashion show took place in 1903 in the Ehrlich Brothers store located in New York City.
Fashion : runway garments from the fall/winter and spring collections of the top ten powerful and influential couturiers, are being explored and encouraging the fashion of Paris today. It has been acknowledged that there really is a dilemma with eating disorders among the fashion models so they recommend a health awareness and health education programs for them. Denise Kingsmill, chair of such inquiry stated that “During the investigation, evidence of the vulnerability of women in the modeling progression was startling and models are at high risk of eating disorders”.
During a typical fashion event, these models work the runway wearing the clothes created by famous designers. Now, most teenage girls determine that thin is pretty, so if they want to be pretty, they have to be thin.
A. Project Runway Review
Project Runway is a competition-based show that features a group of talented clothing designers who are competing to show their own fashion collection at New York City's Fall or Spring Fashion Week at Bryant Park. Famous designers like Vera Wang, Dolce and Gabanna, or Calvin Klein are the top-attended shows at Fashion Week; however since the first airing of Project Runway in December of 2004 the competing designers have brought in huge audiences.
The Project Runway series is hosted by German supermodel Heidi Klum and can be seen on the Bravo cable television network. The judges are pulled from some of the top fashion design houses or fashion and beauty magazines that America has to offer. Michael Kors is a famous American designer and has served as a judge on the show during all three seasons. The other primary judge, besides Kors and Klum, is Nina Garcia who is the Fashion Director for the top-rated Elle magazine.
For example, in Runway's Season Two, world-class Olympian figure skater Sasha Cohen served on the panel to help judge the skating costumes that had been designed and constructed by the design contestants. Other guest judges included: the legendary Diane Von Furstenberg, musician Sarah Hudson and Tara Conner, Miss USA. One of the recent Project Runway challenges instructed the contestants to sketch, design and construct Tara Conner's evening dress for the Miss Universe pageant.
The competition is based in New York City, and much of the design work and judging take place at Parsons School of Design. Tim Gunn's sophisticated and calm approach to the design process enables the designers to turn out couture clothing on a small budget and even smaller time schedule. Frequently, each designer is given $100.00 to spend at Mood Designer Fabrics in the Garment District in order to make a dress that would appear to a consumer to be well over $1000.00 retail.
The time constraints placed upon the designers are stress-inducing. Merely a day or two is given to create, shop for and construct tailored and unique pieces that speak to each designer's particular aesthetic sensibility. Each look is then worn on the runway by a group of fashion models selected to appear on show. Typically one or two designers are eliminated per episode. Once the collections have been shown, one designer is chosen as the winner of Project Runway.

A big Congratulations goes to Julijana Grbac of Brisbane!
The show has been highly popular, with millions of local viewers tuning in weekly to see the next aspiring fashion designer get booted off the show. Project Runway Australia follows the very successful original Project Runway in America. In Australia, the show was judged by Sarah Gale and Jayson Brunsdon. Gale, a fashion buyer and trend forecaster, is a regular speaker at the Melbourne School of Fashion.
Renowned fashion designer Brunsdon has over a hundred shops around the world, and has dressed many celebrities including Linda Evangelista and Princess Mary. Gale critiqued based on the commercial viability of the designs, while Brunsdon gave his opinions based on the survivability of the design in today’s fashion world.
Being the first season in Australia, Project Runway is expected to create a second season following its great success locally. Comments have circulated in public forums about host Kristy Hinze. Although she portrayed the beautiful, glamorous host akin to Heidi Klum in the original Project Runway, she simply wasn’t as smooth or natural. Designer fabric company d’Italia had the privilege of working with Petrova Hammond, one of the Top 3 Finalists of Project Runway Australia. Hammond used d’Italia’s material for some of her designs in the show.
d’Italia is based in Melbourne, and its pure Italian silk and French lace are directly imported from Europe. The store is located at 61 Glenferrie Road, Malvern. Check d’Italia’s blog for latest updates on fashion trends, style tips, and in-store news.
