"Project Runway" mentor Tim Gunn shares his "disgust" over Season 8 and expresses his confusion over the judges' decision-making process. In an effort to console the designers, Gunn recalls saying, "All I can tell you is that this is a bunch of crack smoking judges."
-----
Tim Gunn talks about his work as a mentor on "Project Runway," his sense of style and becoming an overnight sensa-tion after 25 years in the business. Tim Gunn is chief creative officer at Liz Claiborne Inc. Formerly, Gunn served as chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons The New School for Design. He is the author of Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work.
Tim Gunn strikes me as being the essence of integrity. Even on the RARE occasion that I've disagreed with his advice to a designer, I've always known he speaks from a place of truth and desire to see people succeed. Wonderful.
+Dwayne Milburn I agree with you.
It is refreshing to see people like this still exist. He has integrity and as you said even on the rare occasion you disagree with him, he is genuine and you still find yourself respecting his input regardless.
I still like Nina and Michael as judges and it's refreshing to hear there are disagreements with who should win. It makes them seem more human and the judging more real. I heard on one of the AllStar seasons someone mention how the judges on allstars are nicer.
Tim Gunn is my spirit animal :)
Well said, Dwayne.
EXACTLY! He is speaking nothing but facts and he’s not being disrespectful or carry
Nina always judges on whether something is "editorial " or will photograph well. Heidi basis her opinion on if she would wear it. Michael looks at their potential to become a brand. Zac cares about construction and finishing. Tim's decisions are bashed on talent, imagination, and creativity, in other words artists. I love him.
Zac is always trying to compare his own techniques and taste to the contestants. " Well I wouldce have done this and I would've cut it that way and I wouldn't have styled her this way. Ok this is clearly not " Project style like Zac Posen would ." I mean give them advise but don't and call your ahots but don't make people feel bad just because they don't have a staff working for them.
@Verica Vuckovic that's because she was destroyed by this experience. It's a shame, really.
Tina Tika that is a brilliant analysis.
@@cherylcampbell9369 yeah, she was destroyed by winning 🙄🤦♀️
It's not that she won money and equipment to help her with her own line and still failed because no-one wants her "designs".
Tina Tika, how can someone be so patronising and so wrong in one post?
The entire point of this part of the interview is that the EXPERT who had worked with the judges for years couldn't predict (or see any sense in) their judgements in this series.
Did you not watch the series, or are you just arrogant enough to think you know better that Tim Gunn?
I loved when Tim chastised the designers for letting Gretchen bully them. Probably the only redeeming moment of this season.
721deco I was very happy about that too. She so obviously was. Ivy was always stirring up shit too.
It was the best season tbh. Even though the end was disappointing.
721deco - You speak the truth and Tim got Gretchen and Ivy all the way together too!! When Ivy tried to come back with claiming that Michael cheated - Tim shut that mess down quick and in a hurry!!
Bullies shouldn't be allowed to win, period. Who wants to work with someone like that?
I didn’t see it for Gretchen that season she came across condescending and straight rude as hell I woulda checked her every single time
Tim Gunn is such a kind man. He really cares about the contestants. He encouraged the 'juniors' and gave excellent advice. I like him far more than the judges.
He's not a judge apart from the Tim Gunn save.
Missy Rabbit me too
More stuff has come out that he forced the Weinstein Co to remove clauses from the contracts that were unfair or damaging to the contestants. He's a gem.
@@ColieBear18I'm not even a little shocked that the man has a conscience and the fortitude to do the right thing.
The season Mondo lost to Gretchen was such a shock. Just based on their collection Mondo was much more fashion forward than Gretchen's. Her clothes looked like stuff you could buy at the flea market.
Exactly.
It was mostly because of the trend in 2010, that's the only reason Gretchen won.
Thang Vuong I think it the big problem was Seth Aaron has won season 7. Mondo is a great designer but you dont want to be stuck in a beetlejuice loop when it comes to fashion. A lot of fashion forward thinking people go to the flea market after all.
But they needed him for All Stars ;-)
@@kimberlydehuff5415, OMG I never thought of that, but I think you're right. It would explain her attitude.
I remember Heidi wearing a Mondo's finale dress for an event and it was clear that she wanted him to win. Im glad Tim Gunn voiced his objection.
And even she didn't look good in it.
Could not agree more!!!
For a man “in the dark” he can sure throw some shade.
Mondo should’ve won that season
This affirms why the show producers created the "All Stars" show so Mondo could finally win...
RunWayUnderground thank you for the Spoiler 😇👍🏼
@@_esmeralda_5112 it's been out for 8 years lol
Mondo's psychedelic collection in All Stars was an experience.
@@PandoraStolen some only barely started watching this show
Gretchen is so unpleasant as a designer and person (character displayed on the show). Mondo should have won and she should have been sent home after the team challenge.
OMG that team challenge put just how basic she really is on BLAST... Beige, boring, basic.
I was pissed when Gretchen won. 🤬
Tim Gunn did more than a little to make this show successful. He's sort of the show's 'signature.'
I have even more respect for him now knowing he's not afraid to voice his opinion; the man has a lot of courage. He's one of the handful of celebrities I would really like to meet someday and hopefully will.
I believe Season 8 is why they instituted the "Tim Gunn Save".
I think that season was a turning point... It seems from then on, they seemed to favor the most wearable, vs. the most fashion forward and innovative. That season with the plus sized designer won officially made the show a joke, and I've stopped watching.
Why would a plus size designer winning be a joke? She made on trend fashion for plus-size women which is innovative considering no other fashion designer out there has ever dared to create an entire line of that nature.
I agree with you about the original point of Project Runway. It's actually why I stopped watching because it was no longer about creating something that no one has ever seen before or being innovative. Being "on trend' is boring, but probably more marketable for the designer. I felt like her creativity came from choosing to do a plus-size range and have actual plus-size models. That's unfortunately innovative in the fashion world because nobody ever caters to the plus-size woman, the biggest market for clothing in the United States.
Yeah why choose stuff that' on trend isn't the point to be original?
sososohauntedAshley was also creative because she was unashamedly girly she didn't care if people were going to say "ew pink" but I think a lot of plus sized women don't really want to wear clothes like hers.
Mondo really deserved to win Season 8.
Although Andy's collection was beautiful, cohesive and had a clear vision, I do think Mondo's collection was more groundbreaking considering the time it was released. His clothing can still be worn in this current fashion climate and I think that's the beauty of it. In terms of a revolutionary collection, I think Mondo wins in this aspect.

The top 3 should have been Mondo, Andy, and Michael. I truly don't know how Gretchen made it to the end....Gretchen should have gone home when April did.
Her designs were awful. She has no tailoring skills at all.
marishana meyer not to mention that she was a bully through the whole season
One of the main reasons Tim Gunn now at least has one "Tim Gunn Save". The judges have made some terrible mistakes in the past, like they did with Mondo, and with Anthony Ryan in season 9. Some contestans have good results every challenge, and one bad result throws them out, while other designers are regularly on the bottom two and yet they reach the latter stages of the competition.
Now if only Tim Gunn could have been there on Season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race to save Katya. "Pearl in the Top 3" my ass.
The top 3 SHOULD have been Katya, Violet, and Trixie. Trixie slayed Ginger in their lipsync.
Jonathon Jaszczak ok hold up I'm the biggest Trixie Stan out there but she did not do anywhere near well enough to reach top three, and Ginger destroyed her in that lip sync. Good news is All Stars 3 is coming up tho 😁😁😁
orbitalwarrior exactly! Season 9 was the pinnacle of bad judging. They were super inconsistent. It’s like one of the contestants said on the runway once, if I give you this, then you will say it needs that. But when I that, you say it needs this. Just so bipolar. I truly don’t get how they sent Anthony Ryan home but Joshua, who they had to tell the ENTIRE season, learn how to edit, and he would become so defensive with even the smallest amount of constructive criticism, stayed all the way to the end. Incredible
*cough* Austin Scarlet season 1 sent home over Wendy *caugh*
I guess Tim's criticism of the judges eventually led him to be on the runway during judging in subsequent seasons.
I love Tim Gunn. wish he would be on All Star instead of whoever-she-is
Agree. It's not Runway without Gunn.
Talking about zana ? Or Georgina? They’re both shit tbh
Tim Gunn is just pure unadulterated sassy ace energy and I’m here for it.
What really pissed me off about season 8 was that they did nothing but praise Mondo. Not until the last episode did they start saying "well who is this girl, who is going to buy these clothes". It was never an issue before, they never cared before, then all of a sudden it was such a huge issue that was worth giving the win to someone else simply because their line was more "commercial".
yes. The 180 they did on mondo, after he has designed his collection, when he can't do anything about it: it dismayed me. To move the goalposts like that seemed so unfair. The judges really seemed like they all thought they were supposed to be judging on different criteria. I am not one for reality shows. I am only watching this show because I am a designer/maker who is self taught and as such the world of fashion is like an undiscovered country to me once it gets to this level. I have watched a few British reality shows like Great British Bake-off and Sewing Bee. Never have I seen a final judges' deliberation like the PR: season 8 one. It was almost painful to watch. They should have something written down before they start out, a mission statement. "Project Runway aims to find the designer who most..."
Props to Tim who saw through Ivy and Gretchen. Personally I would never want to work with Ivy, she is just like a mean schoolgirl. On UK shows like sewing bee you never get any of this bitchiness or drama.
Mondo’s girl is the Skipper to Betsey Johnson’s Barbie, in my opinion. His viewpoint is very relevant. We all want to look young and fun, especially the older we get. I love an eccentrically dressed 70-year-old woman!
@Verica Vuckovic that was the worst part of the entire farce of a series. Mondo not only deserved the win, he could have done great things with the prizes. Gretchen was always going to waste it, she neither had the talent nor the intelligence to put what she won to good use.
@Verica Vuckovic Whats even funnier is that Micheal C. is now probably the most successful out of all of them.
@@cutebutevil7387 Whats even funnier is that Micheal C. is now probably the most successful out of all of them.
Lol I completely forgot that Gretchen won. In my mind Mondo was the winner.
Oh my gosh. I rewatched it recently and when they announced Gretchen as the winner I almost spit the water I was drinking out of my mouth. I guess my brain had like rewired its memories to correct the judges and name Mondo the winner. I was convinced he had won originally. Glad I'm not alone in that lol
I remember that he lost primarily because one of the reasons the judges gave was because Seth Aaron won the season prior, so they wanted someone with a different "flavor", plus he went on to win the first All-Stars (wasn't until season 3 that they started bringing in winners).
😂😂😂😂 right
Me tooooo
Sometimes late at night I remember the outcome of season 8 and i get so angry I have to get up and get a glass of water.
Just do what the rest of us do, forget Gretchen just like we immediately forgot her designs.
I remember when Heidi announced that Gretchen won, my heart just sank! Yes as Tim said yes, I feel happy for her but Mondo should win.
Mondo should have won and his collection was better. Gretchen was a mean girl.
Agreed
She's not mean, she's just basic. She designs basic clothes for basic bitches.
*slow claps*
Mondo should've won season 8 I agree I was disappointed with who won. In the season there was a few times I thought Mondo in the individual challenges should've won over Gretchen
God, I wish Mondo had won. He's so much more talented.
I am so glad Tim said this. I agree with Tim. It seems as if MK and NG were completely incapable of seeing the clothes without the accessories. Take away the hats, stockings, shoes and Mondo's outfits would be very ready to wear. Mondo takes very bold prints and makes them into neutrals. If I were to go into a store and see Gretchen's clothing I would pass it by because it would look like older aged Montgomery Ward clothes. I am 40. I am older. I do like Gretchen's items but I would have to see them on a mannequin to see the full potential. If one of Mondo's pieces were hanging on a rack or on a mannequin I would be immediately interested because I would have never thought to pair things as he does. I would try more options. If I found an outfit to be too busy I would simplify it with a solid pant, skirt or top. Andy and Mondo should have been in the top two. Gretchen's=boring. Tim gives great advice. Nicole S is a younger buyer, more in tune with today's fashion don't you think, NG?
MC and NG just pissed Mundo did not take their advice. Had he not used the hats and cut the damn sleves off the popadotdress he would have won.
How refreshing to hear the honesty!
I love this man more and more everytime he opens his mouth 😂
i remember being so angry at who won.
Me too Sam! All these years later and IM STILL MAD!
Ashley Peters really?
Tim throwing shade at Gretchen XD!! He's right though, no way she deserved to win.
Great credit goes to this host for letting the guest TALK, without annoying interruptions! What a concept!
I can't believe that Gretchen won. I'm not even bothering to watch the finale. That woman didn't even deserve to **go** to fashion week, there should have been only 3 contestants. What a load of crap!!!! I found out on this video who won and it's downright sickeningly wrong. The whole season she bullied the others, talked crap about them, and her final design was rubbish. WTH?
I absolutely adore Tim Gunn.
@Sandy Vale I hope you watched the season 8 finale in the end because Mondo's collection was worth it.
@@Laura.Vanadzina Mondo deserved to win. I'm so happy for Michael too. He's huuuuge now
Same here Sandy, I’m literally so upset she even got the third spot with that clothes that I’d probably wear to the farmers market... runway should be about the red carpet, the gala ... to feel special not a look for every regular Tuesday feeding the cat.. 🙈
I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD THIS!!!!
After all these years, this still stands out as the most shocking SHOCKING, blatant and infuriating mistake EVER.
I'm happy for Mondo, that he got to go on to win All Stars, and also to participate in Under the Gunn!
Iris that 'mistake' is called rigging a show.
Of all the shows I have seen, Mondo is the only true rememerable designer.
Good design is memorable and timeless.
Season 4 you must have missed.
Seasons 3 and 4 were amazing!!! Christian Siriano is the ONLY designer from the show who has had a noteworthy career.
Michael Costello is one of the top designers now in Hollywood, even though he didn’t win!
@@coquigirl0789 thanks for this. I loved Micheal and after seeing your comment I've just discovered he designed some of my favourite red carpet looks.
Tim Gunn is such a sweetheart. Such a shame for this decision and when you see where the designers are now, it’s clear the judges made a big mistake that year.
Mondo’s creations were always full of ideas, patterns and colours but he made them work every time. His collection reflected that. I think it worked perfectly as a collection and more importantly, you take his looks apart and every piece is still interesting. If it were in a store, it’d immediately catch my eye and chances are I’d buy several items. Hell it’s almost 8 years later and I’d still wear many of them in a heartbeat. His pieces are playful and creative but timelessly elegant at the same time.
Gretchen’s collection looked both boring and borderline ugly, it reminded me of the polyester granny housecoats from the 70s. Same fabric, same colour, same print; everything was just ughh… The only salvaging point was the green leather (that MK hated btw) and the jewelry. It wasn’t fresh, it wasn’t modern, quite the opposite. It might be good for 20 yos who can afford to dress like they’re 45 and still only look 35 and think it’s hip (it’s not) but even then I don’t really think many would be inspired by that colour palette.
Truly a teacher. I watched a Tim Gunn interview and learned a new word Pedagogy. It's the approach of teaching and the process of learning. It's an ancient Greek word. Always teaching, even when he's not trying
OMG, I've been Binge Watching Project Runway and Project Runway All Stars and after watching Season 8 Ep. 12 I think it was where the final 4 contestants had to show a 3 piece "mini" show of their collection and one would be eliminated, I cried my eyes out all over again as Michael Costello got eliminated. Having all of the seasons and episodes so fresh in my mind, I honestly cannot remember a more wrenching and heart breaking moment as when Michael C. was eliminated and watched his reaction and genuine grief and shame over not having made it to Fashion Week. There was no effing way Gretchen should have made it to the Finale, let alone WON the season. Of course, the ultimate irony is that she isn't even a fashion designer anymore. What a WASTE of prize money on her. Mondo and/or Michael would have been marvelous winners of Season 8. Tim Gunn was absolutely right to be pissed off about the judges' ultimate decision in Season 8.
you are a wiseman tim gunn
I've been rewatching old seasons on line - I remember how angry I was about this season - Tim is 100% right. Crack is the only possible answer. Also, I have to say this entire season produced some of the worst 'fashion' I've seen on the show. It was like everyone took a time machine back to the worst days of 70's fashion and cut the backs out - ugh.
I've rarely agreed with the judges, that season least of all. LOVE Tim Gunn!! This just proves what an upstanding person he is.
where is the full version of this interview? such a funny honest man I want to become Tim Gunn!!
Honestly the top 3 should have been Michael Costello, Mondo Guerra, and Andy south
Michael did have his low moments, but looks like he's really killed it since the show so he's the real winner
In an interview, TG stated how furious he was with Weinstien's submarining the contestants when he learned the desginers' projected became Weinstien's property. The desinger's basically became contractedd to make designs for them and given next to nothing in return - revenue sharing, royalties, using their own label. It was also difficult for them to buyout their contract. Tim on numerous times was given the shell game when he advocated for them. He stated the only reason why he kept on was to keep the designers from being abused. I guess Weinstien couch was also a wardrobe.
I often disagree with Nina and Michael, I feel like Mugatu from Zoolander when they're speaking. "Am I on crazy pills?!"
Oh man, I remember watching this season so many years ago and being baffled by the judges decision too. Little did I knew that Tim agreed with me
we love u so much tim.
huge heart and
brilliant fella.
when i think i can't love this man more...
Wow I love Tim Gunn...he's so funny and he doesn't know it...and yes in all honesty Mundo should have won!
Mondo deserved to win but I sort of feel bad for Gretchen - it must be hard to deal with all the disgruntled fans who were mad with the outcome. Like imagine you won and then saw Tim say all this stuff about you. She was a good designer too and ultimately it was the judge’s decision. Mondo is a god though, I’m glad he has been able to launch a career!
Love Tim Dunn!! He was & is Project Runway!! Miss him lots!!
I agree wholeheartedly!!!!!!!! Gretchen should never have won.
LOVE LISTENING TO MR. GUNN TALK.... CLASSIC...
Tim Gunn is a very smart, cool, & nice person.
He really is - so much passion without compromise! They are blessed to have someone like him on Project Runway!!
I love Tim!!!!
Me too 🥰
Ok this is refreshing for me to see. Gretchen should not have won that season at all!!!! Her attitude has nothing to do with it for me, her clothes were the problem. She did not present a winning collection at all. Her clothes were tacky and cheap looking. Mondo clearly should have won that one. That is just my opinion on the matter and I could care less if anyone disagrees with me or not. The good thing is it freed Mondo up for "Project Runway Allstars" and he finally got his much deserved win
Love this! Gretchen was good at the start but after that she was only memorable because of her ego, her meaness and her fakeness! Mondo was the clear winner!
My dad used to call someone like this a "straight shooter." He means what he says and he says what he means. You can't buy character like that. You either have it, or you don't.
So true! I was floored when Gretchen won. She should have been eliminated in the first 4 weeks.
She ain't even designing anymore. What a effing shame.
this was the mean girl season, Gretchens did not deserve to win, Mondo did and the way Ivy and Gretchen treated Michael C. was awful they were acting like bullys
Mondo's loss was the reason Project Runway All Stars was born
My favorite part is how Nina goes about 'loving' Mondo's work and then goes about the finals saying it's 'all color' or some junk. Nina pretty much went on the record in Season 9 Episode 4 with that challenge that she doesn't want colors or prints. Here's a similar scenario; in Season 12 Alexandria has the near same style of brown and black crap as Gretchen while Dom has colors and prints (I think) as Mondo. What's the difference here; Gretchen was able to win because Nina had Michael K in cahoots but Alexandria isn't as lucky because Nina doesn't have Kors anymore, we fortunately have Zac Posen who wasn't about to let any of that muddy garbage win again.
+Taprus Light Not true, Alexandria's collection was actually picked by most major fashion reviewers and editors as the winner. She brought a real sense of the Scandinavian aesthetic that the show had really never seen before and managed to apply it stylishly and with flawless execution. I loved Dom and had no problem with her winning (their collections were really neck and neck, imo) but don't discredit Alexandria by putting her on the same level as Gretchen, their collections were miles apart both conceptually and in their effectiveness.
+Taprus Light
The comment of polished01 is spot on. Alexandria's collection felt more European (Scandinavian specificly), and that's probably why it didn't resonate that well over there.
Alexandria seemed a little deranged. I believe you should be confident, but she sounded like she would climb a bell tower with an AK15 if she didn’t win. 🤪🤪🤪
I stopped watching the show because Mondo lost
plushpuppy32 - Me too. I completely lost any respect for the show after Mondo lost.
gosh I love him morrrrrrrrrre
I always knew this and I'm so glad Tim is coming out. The favoritism was so blatant it was disgusted. I'm so glad to hear Tim's sensible words. Gretchen was a bully and her collection was weAK
Gretchen's clothes are something I can get in any boho boutique.
Mondo is Mondo.
Ahh, what a relief. So, it wasn’t just me. I TOO felt Mondo should have won that season. Gretchen was a pain in the A-hole the entire season. Mondo’s clothes were more fashion forward and creative. He was far more talented than Gretchen, IMO.
Kudos to Tim for saying what he really thinks.
Gretchen made a collection of dirty diaper pants and grandpa sweaters, which might be Amazing for the Hipster/Millennials of today, but at the time they were pretty bad. I remember Heidi really wanting Mondo to win and Nina hating that Mondo had these clowns on some of his clothes. So, Gretchen won, we all pretty much hated it and he went on to win a shot load of money on All Stars season 1. Plus he's on a lot to seems. Honestly I couldn't even point out Gretchen. No offense to her though!! She just had a not awesome IMO collection. Oh well. This video rocked!!!
+ShanteYouStay Haha, those grandpa sweaters are still pretty bad, even now. They'll make the 2010s the new 80s when in 10 yrs time we're going to look back and ask "What the actual hell were we thinking?"
April did make a diaper tho
Love Tim Gunn. Saw Joe Vecherelli in a class and he shared a sleeve pattern from Mr. Gunn and I am studying it so I can learn how to construct a sleeve. I consider it a treasure.
in the show (After editing) it looked like Kors wanted mondo to win
Love this man.
Not a fan of the show, just a fan of Tim as a person because I saw him talk about some difficulties on the 'kids' version of the show and how he handled it. He had every right to walk and stayed **only** because of the kids' experience. Ever since I've been impressed with him as a human and I'll happily listen to whatever he's got to say.
Great tutorial, thanks for posting! I've been enjoying rip tips from BBQ joints for years so this week, for the July 4 holiday, i picked up a box of rib tips and, when I opened them up, I didn't see what I thought I'd see. Turns out, after watching this video, they were the full strips trimmed form the spare ribs. I managed to do some intuitive yet not artful cutring and they were delicious, but it's nice learning the full anatomy.
I love the relationship between Heidi and Tim. I wish there was another designer show with them. Making the Cut must not be doing well. I've only seen two or three episodes and I'm not sure they're being renewed. Sad.
I just love this guy! He is so honest and passionate about what he feels and is such a blessing to the contestants on the show. Almost EVERY critique he gives is spot on.
Just hearing Gretchen's name and I'm triggered. I still remember the night I watched Tim Gunn "scold" the designers for letting Gretchen steamroll over them for the group project, the mom inside me was cheering and applauding. I always felt bad for the designers but he had a point, not only did they lose but there was no vision or cohesion in their collection. I remember cursing my tv when she was announced the winner and there are still days where my mom or sister will say out of nowhere "Mondo should have won," and I always agree with them and we decided the worlds been unjust ever since .
Yes! When he went off on the others for letting Gretchen bully them, I was screaming, FINALLY!!! The way she back tracked and through others under the bus, she deserved all the smoke.
Gretchen was one of my least favorite winners, along with Anya.
Edson Ceron Anya was one of my favorites throughout her season but she should not have won!
Im glad to hear that...I...am...not...crazy! I screamed at the tv when they said Gretchen won that season. I'd thought for sure that Mondo had it in the bag. I couldn't believe Gretchen made it through the first few rounds, let alone winning it all. 🤮
"I sit behind the crew, the camera crew...in the LITERAL AND METAPHORICAL DARK."
"Come on, Heidi, you're not really smoking crack...OR ARE YOU?!"
Love Tim Gunn!!! This video kinda proves that the "establishment" of fashion really does not look into real designers. Its more of like who can we bring in the "establishment."
That man spilt some T!
Mr. Gunn is such a lovely gentleman with integrity and, of course, impeccable taste.
The winner of season 8 has never sat well with me.
The man's wit is spot on. Thank you for putting a smile on my face every time I see this Mr. Gunn.
I love you,Tim Gunn!
I remember watching that season and seeing the total 360 in the editing done around Gretchen in the finale episodes to make her seem more sympathetic and likeable. Even the editors thought Mondo was going to win 😂😂😂
This gave me so much life! I love Tim so freaking much. I'm currently watching season 8 and ughhhhhh those judges were seriously on crack :/
everyone loves Tim Gunn
Gretchen took that money and bailed...Who knew???
It was a kick in the guts when Gretchen won.
Whats even funnier is that Micheal C. is now probably the most successful out of all the final contestants. He designs for Beyoncé, Meghan Trainor, Tamar Braxton, Toni Braxton, Alicia Keys and Kim Kardashian. He has a friggin day named after him for goodness sakes.
I'm so happy to hear that!! I'm SO happy he's successful!!
Oh man, I love Tim Gunn and I completely agree with everything he said. I was so upset when Gretchen won over Mondo but I have to say, now that he is the winner of the All Stars season, I can finally let go of that. I'm so happy that he finally got the win and recognition he has always deserved. Congratulations to an amazing designer!
I've seen a lot of reality shows and I hate most of them. But some have that little something excellent. And I have to say, Tim absolutely brings that in a way that nobody else does. He's so predictably phenomenal, and it blows my mind how good he is at 1) providing great critique. 2) managing personalities. And 3) Centering everyone else but himself. He's just perfect. I really think he could do this for any reality competition show, even ones which don't relate to his expertise
i was in the middle of the season and i guess this was a HUGE spoiler. But I don´t want to continue watching anymore really. Had mondo won, I would´ve watched it anyway, but Gretchen.... really?!?
+TheCommonGirl Style oh, still worth it. There's SO much drama. ahah
You could watch PR All Stars. Mondo's in that one, too.
Somebody bought off Nina and Michael Kors, that's the only reason that their arguments make sense. They were clearly shilling for the advertisers and sponsors. None of their arguments against Mondo or their support of Gretchen held water. I'm glad That Gretchen left fashion and that Mondo and Michael Costello proved them waaaaayyyyy wrong. So happy for Michael Costello's phenomenal success.
I LOVE HIM
Gretchen's line was the worse, hands down. I'm glad that Tim has the Tim Gunn's save this season!
Love me some Tim Gunn!!!
I thought Mondo had won before rewatching this season on hulu. Ugh!!! I was so upset again!!
Michael Kors wanted Gretchen to win because he is a "ready to wear" designer and so is she. It was all an ego trip to validate his type of work.
"Can I go online and see it?"
He's so sweet
"I'm happy for Gretchen. " MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA! We love you , Mr. Gunn!! #KingofShade
Tim Gunn is the director at Parsons. If he doesn't like you, it is like death to your career. No investor will back you. Let us not forgot St Martin's and Parsons are the two top fashion institutions in the world.
Just a tidbit of his life but i have only a few interactions with Tim and they've been very kind and modest. U can tell a lot even from just a 5 minute phone call.
