Wendy Pepper, Jay Project Runway: Project Runway is all about vision and delusion.

Wendy Pepper, Jay Project Runway:Project Runway is all about vision and delusion. The vision to have a vision. The delusion to repeat that vision with a new vision. The vision of inspiration, the delusion that vision can be your inspiration. Ah, so confused!

Yes, this challenge on our favorite NASCAR sewing race left us totally befuddled. Our hapless designers had to use their past winning looks as inspiration for a new look that would accompany them. So, it’s kind of like take a winner and try to do it again. That makes sense. However, if the winner looks are such duds, that they don’t’t really make for such great touchstones to launch into the future. And Logan’s wasn’t even a winner. It was the only piece of his clothing they actually like that isn’t the tight, shiny pants that he wears that make his little tush look so tasty! Then guess what happened? They gave them some money, told them go to Mood and make whatever the fuck they want. Way to really mix it up and get them out of their comfort zone by having access to the exact same materials they had access to before and telling them to make something just like something they made in the past. This isn’t about innovation, it is about regurgitation.more info
