In many ways, that was the story for each of the final three-Sebastian Grey, Hester Sunshine, and Garo Sparo-each of whom struggled with their final collection, despite having five months to put it together, and, in last night’s finale, no additional challenges to complete. Guest judge Diane von Fürstenberg-who had her own fascinating and weird E! show several years ago-met with the final three, and told them, “Your real shelter is inside yourself. Project Runway season 17’s judges Nina Garcia, Brandon Maxwell, Elaine Welteroth, and guest judge Diane von Fürstenberg on the finale runway. That meant a visually dazzling venue and also just more attention on the contestants and less on OMG FASHION WEEK.

The finale had another series of strong choices, including the decision to do its own runway show instead of one at Fashion Week. (There are 53 shows eligible to be nominated for competition reality show, and just scanning that list suggests to me that Project Runway will likely, hopefully be nominated again.) I’ve rolled my eyes at its Emmy nominations these past few years-I still watched and often enjoyed the show, but its repeat nominations (for the show, and for Heidi and Tim as co-hosts) felt more like lazy Emmy voters just choosing the show they were familiar with.īut this year: it’s earned an Emmy nomination, and even a win. Project Runway season 17 shook off all the cruft that accumulated during the format’s time at Lifetime, and leapt out of that rut with innovative challenges and a cast of contestants and judges that I loved spending time with each week. It’s been the opposite: inflated so much it floated off and became a spectacular new version of itself. My concern with Bravo’s Project Runway was that, without Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn at its center, it would have collapsed into a limp puddle, like an inflatable lawn Christmas decoration laying on damp grass in the morning, after it’s been unplugged.
