Lindsay Lohan could
learn a lesson in damage control from Gunnar Deatherage. With his
two-tone hair and catty barbs, Deatherage was the Cruella de Ville of
Season 10 of Project Runway. And then something strange happened. Gunnar got nice. So by the time Heidi Klum auf Wiedersehen’d him, some of us actually felt sorry he was out.
"I
feel like the whole experience was a mind fuck," Deatherage confided.
"The whole competition is about endurance under pressure. It's testing
every facet of you as a designer.
"And I feel like a lot of times the judges' comments are extremely contradictory. There was one challenge where they hated my sequin dress that I did for Lord & Taylor. They ripped it apart. And I found it very hard to sit and take a critique from Heidi Klum while she was wearing a sequin dress that was very similar in cut."

But Deatherage isn't out to burn bridges with the retailer that dominates the workroom wall.
"I love Lord & Taylor. You see their accessories wall in almost every Project Runway shot. And Bonnie Brooks [president of Lord Taylor] was inspiring. But on the judging panel, the tone changes with every guest judge." Despite his frustrations, Deatherage respects the process. "We only see judges during judging. No off-camera relationships. No contact. Project Runway is one of the few reality shows with integrity." | 
Much ado about little black dress?
