Fearfully and wonderfully made

Fashionistas design an artistic reality show | Harrison Scott Key

The competitors on Project Runway (Bravo, Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET), a show now in its third season, include kids out of fashion school, genius designers living in cardboard boxes, and moms who are really, really good with a Singer. Each week hostess Heidi Klum (pictured) presents a challenge and the designers have two days to dream up and create a product such as a gown for Miss USA or one for the likes of Barbie. Models (real, live, 80-pound humans) then walk the runway for three judges, who every week send one designer back to his cardboard box. The final three create a collection for New York Fashion Week, the textile equivalent of the World Cup, and the winner gets—among other things—$100,000 to start his own line.
