You know you've reached the most elite circles of the fashion world when you're covering a show by a seventh-place-finishing "Project Runway" contestant at 10 A.M. on the first day of Fashion Week. For such a momentous event, we sent Gizmodo's Adam Frucci and lovable videographer Richard Blakeley to the dregs of Chelsea to try to find some value in it all.
The turnout… well, it wasn't exactly stunning. With a scheduled start time of 10am, the show finally got down to business at about 10:40 after some of the people standing in the back were moved to the front rows to fill conspicuously empty seats. With "California Dreamin'" playing on loop, the dead-eyed models did their zombie-walks (with no rude gestures to the press this time — they were probably just happy some showed up). Seriously, "California Dreamin'" playing five times in a row is no way to get people engaged.
After the show, we talked to Zulema about her "Project Runway" experiences and found out that, shockingly enough, she and Tim Gunn didn't really share a soulmate connection. Also, when asked if Daniel and Santino ever hatefucked, she waffled and didn't give us a concrete answer. Just FYI.
Enjoy the video of the cattiness above and our gallery of the fashion world's biggest movers and shakers below.
