Project Runway: Season 3

As I said on my reviews of  Project Runway - The Complete First Season  and P Project Runway - The Complete Second Season , this show had me hooked immediately, and Season 3 was no exception. Thanks to this season's designers, I actually enjoyed this season more than season 2. Some of the creative challenges include: creating an outfit made out of items found in the designer's living space; designing a gown for Miss USA in the Miss Universe Pageant; making matching outfits for a dog and its owner and creating a background story for the owner (actual dogs modeled the outfits on the runway!); and one of my faves, using materials from a recycling plant in Jersey!Yes, there is some drama on this season (two designers accused of "foul play", one designer being rude to another's mother), but as before, the drama does not overtake the creativity that is this show's hallmark. Another wonderful thing about this show is how there is also a nice age range of the contestants (one of my faves is a 40-something mom of 5 children with another on the way during the show!).Extras on the DVD include:1. "WEAR Are They Now?" featurette: curiously, this time they eliminated one of the Project Runway Season 3 winners, with no explanation of why there is no update for the missing designer (I will not reveal the names so as not to spoil the series for anyone).2. "WEAR Was He Then?: Tim Gunn, Making It Work" featurette: a nice mini documentary on Gunn (can you believe this very formal guy was inspired by pop-up books as a kid?!?). Gunn definitely seems more human after watching this.3. Tim Gunn's Season 3 Blog: contains Gunn's commentary on the individual designers/episodes4. Designer Bios5. Outtakes presented by L'Oreal Paris

It's really interesting to see how the clothes are made and seeing them walk down the Runway. There are designers that i wouldn't have eliminated. I always dreamed of being a Designer but now i can live vicariously through them !! LOVE THE SHOW !!!!!!!

I try not to miss any episodes of this show. I love the various challenges each week and enjoy watching how the designers interpret their tasks. I own all three sets of the series and highly recommend them - they are even fun to watch more than once! You can see how each season this show gets better and better. Season 4 is the best by far - more accomplished designers, more feedback from Tim Gunn, and constructive judging. The judges may make some negative comments but I feel that they do not insult the contestants. I like the twists included in the show such as Season 3 allowing 4 contestants to go to Fashion Week and in Season 4 - a runoff between Romi and Chris to become the final member of the team to go to Fashion Week. The challenges are becoming more interesting too - not so much with recycled garbage as in some earlier seasons. This show is one of the best on TV - I'm addicted. I encourage you to try it too! You will love the boxed sets - no commercials. I would like to see some bonus material included in the sets such as background on the designers, out-takes, and more comments on each design. Buy these DVDs - you won't be disappointed.

Have collected all 3 seasons up to now and i like to watch this show. It learnt me the fact that in the fashion industry, designers are more brain (ideas)- driven and models are more physics (look)-driven. In order to become SOMEBODY in this business, you will just have to pair together! It is more collective output in order to brand yourself at the end.One of the comparisons i have been always thinking is Tyra Banks is all over America's Next Top Model, the whole program. It might not be the initial intention to set up her as the centre of the whole show (if so, then the show failed already), but the truth is she has that power/image to be the centre of the show, more than any models or judges over there.If you look at Project Runway, Hedi Klum is also the Host and one of the Judges, but you feel the show is really about those designers and their designs. That might be the factor which put Project Runway a bit ahead of ANTM.

Project Runway is an incredible show that attempts to find the next big fashion designer. Contestants have a design challenge each week, ranging from making clothing out of cast-off mail packaging to designing outfit for each others mothers to creating a look for a beauty queen. The worst designer is kicked off each week until there are three finalists who create collections to show in New York's Fashion Week.This season has a talented cast, each with their own very distinct styles and entertaining personalities. For example, there is Jeffrey, the tattooed, rock-and-roll oriented designer who has a rough past. Michael Knight has an affinity for designing for the female body. Laura is a classy, sophisticated mother of six. Kayne is a pageant designer who loves sparkle. Vincent is a designer who flourished in the 80s and is making a comeback to the field he loves.The personalities make the show, but the challenges are entertaining, the work the designers do is beautiful, and the judges always have something sharp to say. For anyone who loves the fashion world, and even for those who don't, this is a highly entertaining show, and a reality show in the true sense. There are no scripts and the prizes have a real impact on the winner's life.

I was very least of buying a used dvd. This was like brand new!

Did not work on my DVD player so annoyed - where can you get project runway series that works in uk DVD players ? Should state DO not buy if in uk !!

I was able to watch all episodes on disk one but only two of the episodes on disk two and none of the episodes on disk three. My computer showed that the disks are empty. Unfortunately I can't return this item as I bought it in March. Wish I had started to watch it earlier. Now I'm stuck with DVD's that don't work.

awesome came in a timely fashion

Love this series and was received as indicated by the merchant, thank you.

This season didn't have as many interesting challenges as in the past but is worth a look for fans.
