I know we've got Project Runway fans out there, especially after the show's guru of good taste, Tim Gunn, appeared in PETA's anti-fur video.
Other Viewing Options
If, like me, you watch the show obsessively caught last night's episode, you probably did cartwheels in the living room when one "Divorcee Dress Challenge" client, Stephanie, insisted that Nicolas use no wool, silk, leather, or fur in his transformation of her old wedding dress into an outfit she could enjoy as a single woman. I believe her exact words were that she wanted him to be certain "no animals have to suffer."
Now if only Stephanie's snarky designer had spent less time rolling his eyes and more time fashioning a knock-out design instead of ho hum separates, he might have won the challenge. Either way, Stephanie gets top marks for speaking up for animals.

Any person who abstains from wool, silk, Leather and fur is a champion for animal welfare.

I was heartened to see this as well. Unfortunately, the next episode is titled "Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!"
Hopefully this is misleading, as I'd hate to see the show drift from its previous opposition to fur usage.

At least his score was high enough that he didn't risk elimination.

This is totally unrelated.. but have any of you ever actually said "The Petal Files" out loud?

What a well-done but heartbreaking video. Thank you Tim Gunn!!! As the episode where the designers made outfits out of newspaper proves, you don't need animal products for good design. The material do not make the outfit---fit, function and design do.

Does it really matter that they are going to be using Feather next time? Sure, fur is a big deal..it reall does hurt the animals but...

It is heart wrenching to watch something like that and know that it has been going on for far too long. Thank you for the education and awareness you are bringing to all of us!
