Project Runway’s Sustainable Designer

Let’s talk about Project Runway, because for the first time, one of the contestants is an eco-friendly designer. Gretchen Jones said on the first episode last week that she believes in using sustainable materials, and even though her page on the Lifetime site doesn’t get into that, I sat up and took notice when she said it. Hooray for sustainable! Boo for the possibility that it could turn into some weird little “quirk”!

I’ll admit: When I saw her dress go down the runway, I thought, “Ugh. Too bad the sustainable designer didn’t do something great.” And then, well, she won. So what do I know? Nothing, obviously, but I’m glad she’ll be around longer, if only so we can see whether her commitment to sustainability can last (probably not her fault if it doesn’t–the show has crazy constraints), and see how the show and the judges respond to her “point of view,” as they like to say. 

Are you a Project Runway fan? What did you think of Gretchen? Will you root for her because she’s eco?

Sarah, editorial director
