Letters From Poland

Dear old Uncle Nick is getting hammered for his comment about Gordana's Episode 11 design where he said "It makes her look like an office worker in Warsaw, Poland". Reader Bouguslaw Bielanski writes in from Krakow:

Dear BPR, "office worker in Poland" was very ignorant of Mr. Nick Verreos. Please let Mr. Verreos know that he is welcome to visit Poland and learn some of the European heritage that will surely make his judgement more accurate.

Here's a sampling of comments from Nick's blog:

"You're hustling for KMart and you have the audacity to insult the Polish culture?"

"Do some research on Poland before you go on national television and offend an entire nation..."

"Being a Polish-American, I cannot believe you would say such an inconsiderate and ignorant comment..."

Recapper Ji Hyun Lee from the Examiner even went so far as to call the comment "racist".

What do you think, did Nick Verreos cross the line or does he get a pass for this regrettable quip?

ETA: Nick responds to his "Angry Polish Brethren"

Recapalooza!

A Note From Althea Harper

2009-10-30T16:09:00.000-07:00

Dear BPR,

I wanted to apologize for my behavior last night (well over a year ago but debuted last night.) I was acting like a "mean girl" and it was painful to watch. I am embarrassed because I always prided myself in being an upfront person and a kind person, however last night I was neither of the two. I was under slept and over tired, and unfortunately I let it get the best of me. Looking back, I was clearly not upset about Logan having a similar collar to mine (jeez...I really should have let it go...) I was just looking for something to vent about. It was an awkward situation to be in, around people you are competing against 24/7 and having no contact with those outside the show, and I think that led to things that were said that I normally wouldn't. Bottom line, I handled the situation very poorly and no excuses can change that.

I admire Logan so much for the way that he carried himself through out competition and I am so excited to see what he does in the future. Carol Hannah is very talented, and again someone who manages to escape the nastiness of the competition and stay sweet. I think of them both as great friends (CH is my roommate!) and I hope they still feel the same about me:)

Thanks for reading this!!

According to People.com, Cindy Crawford will be next week's guest judge.

Althea Harper will be in Columbus Ohio to judge the "Highball Halloween" costume contest. Click here for more info and for a new interview with Althea. Thanks Cliff.

Check out this new interview with Nick Verreos. A highlight: Which designer from Season 6 would you want to design for you?
Logan. It’s funny that I had a hand in taking him out, yet I’d choose him. I see him and want to look like him ... OK, I know I can’t look like him, but I want the look of his skinny jeans and accessories.

Congratulations, Althea

Collaborating with your model/muse Tanisha produced your first win in the "What a Woman Wants" challenge and you had to have been inspired to know that once again she was going to work your look this week. You keyed in on the paper bag waistline while playing with proportions in the trouser and over-sized sweater keeping the tank form-fitting. Heidi Klum lusted after those pants and called them genius while Nick Verreos said that they were impeccable. Nina Garcia remarked that the ensemble was comfortable and noted that your model clearly loved wearing it. Kerry Washington focused on the sweater and said that it was "just gorgeous." Everyone wanted this and that is the best compliment of all. Touché, Althea!

BPR Love for Logan Neitzel

2009-10-30T07:00:00.000-07:00

There are times when just appearing on Project Runway can be equated with winning. Malan Breton and Emmett McCarthy come to mind as having had career boosts for having appeared on the show. We get a chance to meet a designer and to see his/her point of view and to know that there is an audience for their fashion. In this case you demonstrated that your aesthetic is that of edgy street or rocker fashion. You found a collaborator in Epperson, your fellow contestant this season and together you showed a collection during Fashion Week for Spring 2010 after having met during Season 6. You didn't bring the drama (unless you count distracting Carol Hannah) and the models clearly liked you. Week after week you created fashion that stayed true to your style and to that of your future clients. Embrace this fast lane to success and we'll be following you all along the way, Logan!

Amanda's Take - Episode Ten

Amanda Fields with "Alice in Chains" drummer Sean Kinney.

Project Runway Season Three model, Amanda Fields returns with her take on this season's models. Thanks Amanda!

I love challenges like this where you get to see what the designers do with an amazing inspiration - a fabulous location! It's down to 7 designers and models.. it's starting to get really serious now and this is where is gets GOOD!

I thought the best model this week was Kalyn. Irina's Aspen look was incredible already and it just shined on Kalyn! She has the special quality of making an entrance you can't ignore. Whenever she is on screen my eyes go to her first. I love how the judging team was all together again. Thank goodness.. it feels right this way! Milla Jovovich was a very insightful judge and how sweet was she tearing up when Nicholas left?

Project Runway's chief swami Alan Gratz checks in a little late this week but his predictions for Episode 11 are well worth the wait! He wouldn't dare pick Logan for the auf again, would he? Don't miss his weekly gaze into the crystal ball as well as his recap from last week. He also thinks he may have a spoiler photo to share. What do you think?
