![]() ![]() Meg’s new model, Trevor, is visibly frightened, but it’s Prajje who refuses to bite his tongue. (At this point, my shoulders have climbed so high I know I’m going to have a migraine in the morning.) ![]() Sweet, baby boy Kenneth responds, “If you don’t feel comfortable, we don’t have to do this.” I respect the race thing”-say it with me now, OOF-“I will do it just for that factor.” When he asks her again if she’d be up for a trade, she loses it: “I think it’s f*cking bullsh*t that you’re doing this now. She realizes saying no could pin her as this season’s Karen. Kenneth politely asks if she’d consider switching, and immediately you can see the pieces spinning in her head like the math meme. Who’s the only person in the room with an Asian model? It’s your girl, Meg! Unfortunately, we have no time to appreciate these images, as the camera’s been lured back to Meg.Īt this point in the episode, she’s pretending she invented the term “shacket” and waving her ally get-out-of-jail free card beneath Christian’s nose: “There is only one race, and that’s mankind.” But after Prajje and Coral switch models so Prajje can present a Black model in his Haitian outfit, Kenneth realizes he, too, would love to represent his culture with an Asian model. “He lived that vibe he was that kid!” We get some delectable flashbacks of Christian, circa his season 4 win, with his hair in an iconic (and undeniably e-boy) asymmetrical mop. The designer who’s assembled fits for Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya appears briefly cowed, but Darren-who’s already established he’d like to shoot his shot with our host-is on a roll. “I don’t know if you know about TikTok e-boys,” he tells Christian, who strains to stifle a visible eye twitch. This week, however, he’s plugged in, stitching away at a jacket inspired by Gen Z. He reminds everyone, “There are so many streets, you guys-Sesame Street, what about the yellow brick road?” (I mean, there is a model for Big Bird couture.) Finally, he makes his way to Darren, whom you might recall had a cigarette-related sequin meltdown last week. He critiques Zayden on an oversimplified hoodie-jacket. I am feeling uncomfortable a little bit, but she’s going and going and going.” Already I’ve hit my Apple Watch’s daily exercise goal with the effort of my full-body cringe, but Meg is, as of yet, blissfully ignorant.Īt Mood, the designers have $300 and 45 minutes to pick their fabrics, and before long Christian’s making his devious prowl through the workroom. We get Prajje’s response via audience-facing interview: “Oftentimes you find people in support of our issues as Black folks, they kind of come off as if they know what our troubles are and they’re our saving grace. I’m all for body positivity, but maybe let’s take a beat? “I feel insulted on your behalf.” She monologues at considerable length about how hard it is for Black people-and also herself as a plus-size white woman-not to see themselves reflected on the runway. “It’s cultural appropriation,” she says several times. Prajje expresses his frustration to fellow competitor Meg, aka last week’s “juicy b*tch,” and she, a white woman, attempts to explain to him, a Black man, why putting Tyce in Haitian streetwear is so problematic. Haitain designer Prajje wants a Black model for a design inspired by his home country, but by the time he scoops up a model card, all that’s left is white-guy Tyce. ![]() Our fashion-week hopefuls have a few hours to sleep before they drown their insecurities in coffee and get to sketching.īut when the erasable pens come out, so do the claws. ![]() They’ll have two days to make a high-fashion three-piece ensemble that would stand out on the sidewalk ideally, the look will be characterized by comfort, wearability, and oversized proportions. There’s precedent.)Įpisode 2 starts with our drained designers dragging themselves back to the runway, where Christian informs them of this week’s challenge: streetwear. (Do remember, friends, this is a Bravo show. The bad news? Before we can witness his taste-making in real time, we first must endure a lot of shouting. The good news? Wisdom Kaye, TikTok’s reigning fashion king, is this week’s guest judge. Might I suggest draping yourself in a warm blanket before we begin? Things get a lil’ icy in the Project Runway workroom this week-courtesy of some hair-raising ignorance and a patchwork vest-so, before we unpack, let’s all assume a comfortable sitting position. ![]()
