Phreshly Squeezed

The day after flying back from Paris to Toronto, one would expect that I would be resting. Instead, I get dropped off at the mall to do some window shopping. So while walking around Yorkdale Mall with my friend, I walked right past someone that looked familiar. I honestly thought the jetlag was messing my mind when I thought I had seen Sunny Fong, winner of Project Runway Canada (Season 2). Asking my friend who has never seen an episode of either, I ended up running a good fifty feet to catch up to him. Turned out, I was right. To emphasize my awe, I’ll have you know that I’m a die-hard fan of Project Runway Canada, Project Runway, and also, I indulge a bit in Project Catwalk.

The picture isn’t the most flattering of me, but hey, it’s got Sunny!

Meeting Sunny Fong at Yorkdale Mall

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!
