I have to be honest: I never really understood the term "hot mess." Does it mean something or someone that is hot, but happens to be a mess? Or does it simply mean a mess that is substantial enough to be called "hot?" Either way, I think Project Runway can be a great representative of this phrase.
Project Runway is a competition in which hopeful fashion designers battle it out for a chance to show their collections at New York Fashion Week. The overall winner gets a shitload of prizes, like money, technology, and trips to fashion capitals of the world.
I fucking adore this show, which shames me to say. I never thought I'd become so invested in a show about fashion sense, seeing as I have none whatsoever (case in point: I am wearing a Lego Batman shirt from the boys' section at Target right now). Project Runway is curiously addicting--I'm always stoked to see what these people can come up with next. Which can range from hilariously awful to jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
And the best part is, sometimes you're totally baffled by what's considered breathtaking or vomit-inducing.
Heidi Klum sees a stunning gown; I see a glorified toga.
The world of fashion is hilarious. I present to you, for your lazy perusal, the five worst Project Runway creations of all time.
And finally, no Project Runway conversation would be complete without mention of the ever-fabulous Tim Gunn, mentor to the designers.
What a badass.
I don't really have anything to add about him; I just really wanted to put that gif in my post.
Episodes of Project Runway are available on Hulu and on their official site.
