‘Project Runway’ Season 5 Finale Fashion Show
So … the Project Runway Season 5 Finale Fashion Show took place at The Tent in Bryant Park on the last day of New York Fashion Week yesterday morning which is making it difficult for those of us who wish to remain unspoiled before the finale show actually airs on TV in a few weeks. In order to do my best to not spoil anything for fans of the show who wish to remain unspoiled, I’ll keep all info that I unwittingly learned about yesterday’s show (it’s not much, since I’m trying to remain unspoiled, but there is some info I can pass along for those of you who are interested) behind the cut. Here are a few pics of the Project Runway mentor (Tim Gunn) and judges (Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia & Michael Kors) at yesterday’s show:

After the cut see a great pic of the finale judges (including the person who filled in for the celebrity guest judge who had to pull out due to a mysterious “injury”) and find out who showed at yesterday’s finale show …
OK … even tho I tried to learn NOTHING about yesterday’s show, I accidentally found out that all 6 of the remaining contestants — LeAnne, Kenley, Korto, Joe, Jerell and Suede — showed collections at yesterday’s finale show. Much like they did earlier this year for the previous season of Project Runway, all of the remaining contestants by the time New York Fashion Week took place were allowed to show collections — it still remains to be seen which of the final 6 are actually the final 3 in competition. I have NOT looked at any of the photos from yesterday’s show nor have I watched any video … BUT you can head over to the Newdsay blog HERE and watch video of each of the final 6 contestants’ runway shows … SHHH! don’t tell me anything ;)
Here is a great pic of all of the judges from yesterday’s finale show:

You may recall that yesterday it was reported that Tim Gunn stepped in to replace Jennifer Lopez as the celebrity guest judge since she had to withdraw from her duties due to an ankle injury (that her trainer ended up denying even existed in the first place). Again, I love that Tim is finally able to act as judge. I know he can be totally impartial and will be an amazing voice in the final deliberations.
Here are a couple pics of some of Bravo’s other reality TV stars as they made their way to the Project Runway show yesterday in a show of support:

I gotta say … I really like Rachel Zoe’s reality show (it debuted earlier this week) … I mean, it’s not anything spectacular but I do like watching people kinda freak out on TV. It’s fun! I love Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef … she’s just hot, I had to post her pic too :)
So yeah … I’m staying away from all other PR spoilers until the shows actually air. I may go back and watch the contestants’ Fashion Show videos as they are eliminated from competition on the show (ie. if Suede gets cut next week, I’ll watch is video to see what mess he put up on the runway, etc.) but I don’t want to see anything until it happens on TV first.

I looked at it, and all I will say is that it is clear who is in the finale by the look and focus that surely went into some the collections (so you were right to not look at the designs yet!). I loved loved loved a couple of them, and I think you will too Trent! Wooh! I can’t wait for the last episodes of Season 5 :)
