Episode 144 | Polka Not a.k.a. Polka Do(n)t (Season 8 Episode 14) Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

The Dream 3 Finale Part 2 is here! We pick up with these exhausted designers back in NYC for the first ever fashion week at LINCOLN CENTER (in my head, Heidi Klum is shouting this in her ONE MILLION DOLLARS voice). Nayland and Patricia are both back in our final vintage episode of Season 8. We talk about how the designers barely flinch at a challenge twist, Ari’s severely underrated collection, Mondo’s tribute to his abuela, and all of our flares of anger during the absolutely ludicrous final judging round. We will be back from our hiatus to talk Project Runway Prime in mid-October. JOIN US!

Patricia is back in The Workroom to talk the weird tension left over from last week, your amazing listener thoughts on the last episode, how not everyone should be teachers and why Michael D just seems to never have enough fabric.   Join us! #ProjectRunway #TheWorkroomPodcast #Gormless #PolyesterParty #WhereWasSwatch Special Links This Week’s Cheatsheet! https://theworkroompodcast.tumblr.com/post/651853828888657920/ep136 We’re on Patreon! www.patreon.com/theworkroompodcast .
