Last night’s close of Portland Fashion Week 2010 was a study in contrasts and continents, with palettes ranging from ethnic to eggshell and both near and far-flung designers from North and South America to Europe. We saw earthy, relaxed styles that were in sharp contrast to the urban and futuristic looks [...]

Oh my, there was some serious A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E *finger snap* up in Project Runway 8, Episode 11 — “A Look in the Line” — last night! Egos went both checked and unchecked, and two of the six remaining designers dared to go mano-a-mano with Heidi Klum herself. With such a drama-filled episode, [...]

Seriously, every single person in the increasingly small band of contestants openly wept (a few more than once). It wasn’t because the increasingly Nazi-esque (sorry, Heidi) judges [...]
