Phreshly Squeezed

Caught near the beginning of Modea Paris’ fashion week, I caught a glimpse of a photoshoot along the famed shopping street, rue St Honoré. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to figure out which designer’s clothes they were featuring. On top of that, I walked right through the Jardins des Tuileries without realizing that the white tents were for Paris fashion week.

It’s been more than a week since Mercedes Benz New York’s fashion week, and one of the first things that come to my mind is, “who won Project Runway USA this season?” Unfortunately, we might not get to know this for some time. A nasty lawsuit is hanging over Project Runway, whose contract recently expired with Bravo (NBC owned) and was set to air with Lifetime, which has put a halt to the reality show.

However, not all is lost. I still get my fixing of reality television (featuring aspiring designers) with Global’s Project Runway Canada. In hopes attracting more to watch the show, Global captured the Canadian spin-off from the Slice network. And so far, I must say that I am quite impressed. The challenges and the designs this season sizzle and leave me wanting more. Knocking the inaugural season out of the field, Project Runway Canada’s second season is not a compromise for me; it’s just as good as its American counterpart, if not better!
