A few months ago, I began binge-watching Project Runway with my husband and couldn’t help but notice the parallels between the fashion world and the poetry world. For those unfamiliar with the show, it is filmed at Parsons School of Design in New York (although one season is filmed at FIDM in LA). There are about 16 contestants vying for 3 or 4 spots at New York’s fashion week and they must undergo a series of insane challenges to produce their garments. Tim Gunn, a former Parsons professor, acts as a sort of mentor and guide during their garment construction process, giving advice and encouragement before the final result is then judged by three permanent judges — Heidi Klum, Michael Kors (who was later replaced by Zac Posen), and Nina Garcia — and one celebrity guest judge.
