In last night’s Project Runway, designers were told to pull inspiration from Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. [1]

Project Runway Season 1 was the first season of Project Runway, Bravo ’s reality competition show for fashion designers. [2]

Debuting December 1, 2004 on cable’s Bravo network, the 60-minute “reality” series Project Runway had much in common with UPN’s America’s Next Top Model–except that, instead of focusing on the people who wore the fancy clothes, this series zeroed in on the people who put the clothes together in the first place. [3]

Project Runway Season 8 is the eighth season of the television show Project Runway. [4]

Their designs are judged, and one or more designers are eliminated each week. [3]

The season included 17 designers at the beginning of the competition. [4]

He was one of the final three designers to show his collection at New York Fashion Week for the chance to.. [5]

The new season kicked off on Thursday, July 29, 2010 at a new time at 9PM ET/PT - with an expansion to 90 minutes - with 17 new designer contestants vying for top prizes and a chance to premier their collection at New York Fashion Week. [6]

As his prize for winning the competition among 12 designers, McCarroll won $100,000, a mentorship with Banana Republic to aid in developing his own fashion label, and a feature of his work in the American edition of ELLE magazine. [2]

Hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum, who also executive produced, the show brought together twelve talented but untested fashion designers, who went through a weekly ritual of tasks challenges to determine which of the dozen would win $100,000, a whole slew of prizes, a slot at the annual Olympus Fashion Week in New York, his or her own line of clothes, and the tutelage of the trendy clothing chain Banana Republic. [3]

This episode was also the most obvious thus far of Garnier Fructis product-placement, giving the hair guy almost as much air time as the designers and the clothes. [1]

Much like the volcanic ash plumes from Iceland, the tears seemed to flow on and on and on as Season 7 of “Project Runway” and Heidi Klum said “aufedersein” last night. [7]

When push came to shove, the judges picked the top 3 outfits as Jonathan, Maya, and Seth Aaron. [1]

I suspect producers felt no one would need time to process the winner, Seth Aaron, which was a no-brainer. [7]

First, before dissecting the Project Runway Episode 8 outfits for the good, the bad, and the scary, the results. [1]

You’ve come to the right place for Halloween Pumpkin Carving! [1]

Each pattern design has been carefully crafted to work easily with traditional cut-out pumpkin carving techniques. [3]

[...] Since the microphone and the sound transducer are separated by mere millimeters, there is a risk of feedback when the amplification is too great. [...] “In many countries, dealers are required to provide the hard-of-hearing with a choice of devices by different manufacturers,” explains Dr. Gerhard R?hrlein, in charge of research and development at S.A.T.. [...] It consisted of a battery, microphone and receiver’plus a handbag or carrying case (see poster, above). [...] Even a brand-new hearing aid battery packs only 1.6 V, and often puts out as little as 0.9 V during operation. [...] Since the 1960s, electronics have migrated into the immediate vicinity of the ear. [...] This initial design is then perfected by a technician, who can observe the model while rotating it about any axis on a display screen, to ensure that it will fit precisely within the virtual canal.
