When you think of models, a mental image of composed, sophisticated women may come to mind. These women are wearing flawless outfits, have every strand on their head in perfect order and shine in their immaculate make-up.

Their physical “perfection” and high status in society makes them seem like some breed of ideal robotic woman.

Thanks to our friends at Best Week Ever, our attention has been turned to FashionTelevision.com which has come out with a series of model slip-ups to ensure us that models are real people too. Due to the hazardous conditions on the runway, this video shows models tripping, falling, and straight up flying down the runway. Read More »

I fully agree with some of the gripes that Leah has with Teen Vogue (seriously, the duration of their internships is growing painful). However, while browsing the site recently, I came upon a program Teen Vogue sponsers that seems like it may be worthwhile.

Teen Vogue Fashion University takes place throughout the weekend of October 26-28 in a variety of venues in NYC. The event is designed for girls ages 18-22 who are looking to become involved in some aspect of the fashion industry.

The list of guest speakers is impressive, ranging from designers Vera Wang and Phillip Lim to Tim Gunn (from Project Runway) to fashion and beauty photographer Kevin O’Brien. For $150, “students” will get to choose which seminars they would like to attend, recieve a tour of the Teen Vogue offices, attend a concert by up-and-coming band Locksley and network with some major names in the fashion world.

America has fallen in love with Tim Gunn. If a genie popped out of a lamp and granted every woman three wishes, one of them would be to have Mr. Gunn as our own personal stylist who followed us around while we shopped. The other two wishes would consist of Tim Gunn calling us and all of our friends “designers” all day and watching Pretty in Pink with us on a Saturday night in our pajamas.

Wow…that would be awesome.

The elegant man responsible for helping bring Project Runway to its height of popularity has a written a book.

Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style is a must-buy, because it inspires the fashionista in all of us to find our own, distinct style like only Tim Gunn can.

The tone of the book is written in the same way in which he speaks on the show, so his character undertones make it a very enjoyable read.

You can even read the first chapter here, where Mr. Gunn Read More »

Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn received a rude awakening in L.A. at auditions for the next season of Project Runway, scheduled to premiere this summer. According to TMZ.com, the turnout was a record low and producers were “scrambling” to contact more up and coming designers to audition.

For some reason, I was surprised by this mainly because of the popularity and success of the show. I figured that any schmuck who could sew a button onto a jacket would fight for a chance to be Tim Gunn’s next prodigy.

So, what I’m trying to say is that if you have an ounce of designing talent in you…Go to the next audition! If they’re running low and trying to scrounge up people, you have that much better of a chance. I did a little research into when and where the next open call auditions are taking place…

Miami: April 5

New York City: April 7-9

Sound like a long shot? In my opinion, if Santino was able to make it onto the last season, then I think it’s possible for just about anyone!
