This isn't "The Apprentice." It's hard to imagine a series selling out more than "Runway," which is infamous for its near-constant product placement, but the way Amazon has tasked non-commercial designers with making utilitarian garments designed for the huge online retailer is its own form of frustration. More: Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn on why 'Making the Cut' is the perfect escape amid coronavirusīoth shows try to create "global brands," but most viewers don't want corporate-speak when they come to view pretty clothes. Emerging designers compete to craft the best attire while coping with time constraints and various thematic and material.

Considering that winning designs are instantly available to buy on Amazon, worker treatment is likely not what the retail giant wants us to think of during what's essentially a clothing commercial masquerading as a series. The designers must demonstrate their ability to make stunning creations for any size. Featured on Project Runway, our selection includes fashion and home fabrics spanning, but not limited to, lace, linen, silk, brocades, denim, chiffon. As a true reflection of women across America, models range in size from 0 - 22. Keeping the seamstresses invisible (the designers leave instructions and the workers sew overnight, off-camera) feels icky, almost like an exploitation of labor. Project Runway Season 16 is taking fashion to a new level with 16 new designers who for the first time in the show's history are breaking out of the conventional model mold by incorporating size-inclusive models on the catwalk. Bobby Flay doesn't cook in every restaurant he owns, either, but when he shows up to compete on "Iron Chef," we expect him to roll up his sleeves and fry a steak. Yes, most major fashion designers don't sew their own garments, but audiences aren't tuning in to see what really happens in the Prada factories.
