Tim's Topstick Take

We've been scratching our heads over doublestickytape-gate and Ivy's attempted take down of Michael Costello ever since Episode 11 hit the air. What was the big deal? We have seen garments taped, glued and stapled on Project Runway since Season 1. We asked Tim Gunn for some inside scoop:

Here’s my take of the tape: Michael had nothing to do with it. It was his model who took the initiative to tape herself into the dress. By the time that this was brought to our attention, the challenge in which it happened was well behind us. It was, indeed, a mean-spirited attack on Michael. And how did Ivy think we were going to respond to her accusations? Did she think that Michael would be disqualified and that we’d bring her back? Ridiculous.

Thank you, Tim. These are the kinds of crazy questions that makes your much missed vlog so essential. Lifetime, please free Tim Gunn!

BPR Field Report: Heidi Klum's HKNB Launch Party

Photo: Marion Curtis at StarPix

BPR was thrilled to be invited to the launch party for Heidi Klum's New Balance line and Manhattan-based field reporter Kenda Nunez graciously covered the event for us - thank you Kenda!

Heidi Klum launched her new activewear collection on Thursday, Oct. 7th, 2010 in New York City’s Cedar Lake Dance Studio. The Heidi Klum for New Balance line will be sold exclusively through Amazon.

The event started with the red carpet arrivals where Ms. Klum appeared and the crowd of photographers went crazy, she was wearing a short, backless dress and looked amazing as always! There was a great number of past and present Project Runway designers providing support for Heidi, some of these included Jason Troisi, Peach Carr, Andy South, Ivy Higa, Nicholas, D’Aurizio, Emilio Sosa, Anthony Williams, Carol Hannah Whitfield, Kenley Collins, and Ben Chmura. Some of the current models on the show were also in attendance as well as pop star Kat DeLuna.



After arrivals and cocktails the crowd was introduced the HKNB active wear line by a fun show of fitness models who were jumping/dancing on a trampoline and floor pads, all while wearing the line’s comfortable outfits. The launch was directly tied to this week’s episode of Project Runway where the designers were challenged to create 3 outfits for her new active wear line.



Heidi introduced the audience to an uninterrupted screening of the episode; she was really excited to show her comfortable side and told us that she loves to shop on Amazon. At the end of the episode when the winner was announced, the entire crowd clapped for Andy’s victory, it was great to see his humble reaction!

Andy's Hoodie

A number of readers have commented about the striking resemblance of the front design on Andy South's hoodie to lululemon's signature logo. Here's one example of lululemon's popular activewear jackets. You be the judge:

It's hard not to be inspired by what you see and know in the design world, but doesn't Andy's hoodie look like a direct copy of the lululemon logo? Surely the judges noticed this but we never see him being called out on it (not even in the extended judging video).

Interestingly, that design element seems to have disappeared from the final product line that went up for sale on Amazon last night. Our guess is that he did get called out on it but the judges looked past that obvious knock off pattern and awarded him the win based on the overall quality of his construction and design. What do you think?
