Project Runway Season 2 Finale: Chloe Wins!

Okay, call it our dirty little secret, at least until this post: we're a fan of Project Runway, the Bravo channel reality television series hosted by German supermodel Heidi Klum. The show pits aspiring fashion designers against each other in a weekly smackdown, if you will, of clothing design. In each episode, the group is judged and losers are weeded out until a trio of finalists fights it out on the catwalk with a 13-piece collection of "looks." Now in its second season, the series has been a critics' darling and ratings success, with some arguing that it's the best reality TV series ever, that is, since the young genre's emergence a few years ago, when the mega-successful Survivor arrived and changed TV programming history. The show's enormous popularity, naturally, inspired a blog that has been posting in real-time about each episode's developments. Wednesday night saw the finale of the second season of Project Runway, with the winner of the months-long fashion design competition announced following the presentation of each designer's collection at New York City's twice-annual fashion week. And the winner? It was the Texas-based Vietnamese-American boutique owner Chloe. As of this posting, it's been announced that the series has been renewed for a third season. See you on the catwalk in the fall.
