Project Runway - The Complete First Season:
Set in Manhattan's Fashion District and hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum, PROJECT RUNWAY distinguishes itself from other reality shows by actually concentrating on talent. While shows like THE APPRENTICE may claim to pick winners on the basis of merit, the decisions of who is eliminated often seem random, or ratings-driven at best. In contrast, PROJECT RUNWAY focuses on the art of fashion design, which requires each contestant to possess technical skills like sewing, draping, and pattern-making, as well as a mastery of design principles and an understanding of what sells. After a cast of aspiring designers is gathered in New York City, Klum and expert judges (including Michael Kors) send them on various design missions. Using the resources of their metropolitan surroundings, and slaving away at sewing machines at Parsons School of Design, each contestant does his or her best to create outfits ranging from evening gowns to Postal Service uniforms, all in an intensely competitive atmosphere. This movie contains nude scenes.
