My paintings were often inspired by dresses I was designing in my head. When I was in my 20’s I’d dreamed of being a fashion designer, but they didn’t have that major at my university, so I decided to major in painting. But how did I get here? Sewing, Dancing and Instagram I never in a million years thought I would say either of those phrases, much less together! Yet, here I am: Bravo’s Project Runway season 19 designer, Katie Kortman. I am a reality star and a fashion designer. Who I am.”ĭo you think the right designer got the boot first? And which contestant(s) are you already rooting for in the competition? Weigh in via our polls below, then drop a comment with your full review of the premiere.PROJECT RUNWAY - Pictured: Katie Kortman - (Photo by: Barbara Nitke/Bravo) This experience has opened my minds to what visions I could create moving forward that I haven’t yet brought to life. “I just wish I could have shown more of me. “I understand why I was eliminated, my garments weren’t finished,” she said on her way out. Sabrina was in tears as the judges read her ruffly gown for filth Caycee was told that “poor design choices” resulted in a dress that was deemed “unfinished” and Chastity was told that her look was “poorly constructed and unimaginative.” (Ouch.) In the end, one designer had to go first - and that was Caycee. It’s more than words can even express.”īut just as the premiere gave us some early frontrunners for the season, we also had our first designers end up in the bottom three. It feels great to be felt and to be seen by the judges. “I’m also very happy to be able to see Darren get this second opportunity because, if he hadn’t had that garment, we would have all been in the bottom. “I’m very happy to be able to see my team on top,” he said. Rather than letting his big win give him a big head, Bones remained humble and focused on the overall success of his team. Unsurprisingly (and extremely deservedly), the first win of Season 19 went to Bones. Octavio also enjoyed a moment in the spotlight as the judges praised his red satin design. Of the top three looks pulled from Team Warm’s collection, two of them were done by Bones there was his own look - a celebration of the Black female form - as well as Darren’s last-minute gold dress that Bones basically did for him. The flowers-vs.-bows debate can best be summed up by this line of concern from Caycee: “Not only do we have different tastes, but we have different concepts of what that means and how we communicate it.” In other words, Team Cool was screwed.įollowing a surprisingly emotional runway show - the first live fashion event that judge Nina Garcia had attended in over a year - Warm was announced as the winning team, sending the members of Team Cool into a panic, as one of them would be getting the boot. Team Cool also sent up a few red flags early on, starting with confusion of what its overall theme was going to be. Poor Bones, we could all feel his stress as he attempted to make the best of a chaotic situation. It was a solid plan… and it would have been even better if everyone actually stuck to it. Team Warm got off to a pretty hopeful start, with all eight designers planning to meet midway through their trip to Mood to make sure they were buying cohesive fabrics. OK, back to business: Inspired by the city’s bold reopening, each team was tasked with making “a cohesive collection of eight monochromatic high fashion runway looks celebrating color.” Speaking of not being thrilled, this feels like a good time to remind you that Karlie Kloss - who has served as the show’s host for the past two seasons - had to sit most of this one out, but she is expected to make “guest appearances” throughout the season.
