Emerging from my ennui to recap the runway.   So, we finally made it to the Project Runway finale, and it's a sad indication that the moment of highest drama, on or off the runway, was Carol Hannah puking in the bathroom.   Although, I might amend that to say that the moment of highest drama amongst me and my viewing companions was when Heidi came out on the runway wearing another horrendous ensemble. She really saved the "best" for last, in a hot pink, shiny "suit", featuring too-tight... Read Full Story

Specializing in colorful evening wear, many women will want to wear her dresses. This is my favorite and all they got was a shot from the side? With great attention to detail and workmanship (she started making clothes for dolls as a child... Read Full Story

  On last night's finale of the long-delayed sixth season of Project Runway , 27-year-old Irina Shabayeva beat finalists Althea Harper and Carol Hannah Whitfield to take home the crown. The confident Upper East Sider, originally from the Republic of Georgia, impressed the judges with her edgy, black-on-black collection inspired by surviving as a woman in New York. But when Shabayeva's clothes walked the runway back in February, the un-aired season was still in legal limbo, tangled in a... Read Full Story

New Yorker Irina Shabayeva would take the $100,000 prize and be named Season Six winner of " Project Runway ?"
