‘Launch My Line’ a Bravo Success
Did you watch the premiere episode of Launch my Line on Bravo? I did. Tonight the second episode airs. I’ll tell you if you should watch.
The short answer: Yes! Also – yes, you will probably spend the entire first episode comparing this show to Project Runway. When that show was taken (stolen? rightfully bought?) by Lifetime, Bravo needed something to fill the fashion-space! This show has serious potential, and they’ve even got Lady Gaga guest starring on it later – which I think will be humorous since one of the contestants looks a bit like her (and has the same design aesthetic if her golden, heart-spangled jumpsuit is any indication).
On tonight’s episode, when a “trend forecaster” stops by to show the designers how trends are set and what will be popular for 2010, the contestants must pay attention to incorporate into the 2nd look of their collection. The designers are then taken to Venice Beach to seek inspiration for a daytime look using colors and silhouettes that will set the trends for the upcoming season. The pressure takes a toll on the contestants as one expert threatens to leave his/her partner, will they quit the competition?
Tune in tonight at 11/10c: Launch My Line

The Show is brilliant. I have just joined the Bravo Message Boards and am excited to discuss this show with fellow viewers.
I had grown weary of Project Runway with the same reputation over and over again. And the characters getting worse and worse. Season 5 of PR was the last great season they had. So this show is a refreshing new look at the collaboration of experts and designers. This is an incredible show for us fashion lovers. I like the fact that they are trying to make a cohesive collection and what a designer goes thru to make an entire collection.
My favorite designers so far are Marilyn Crawford(I think she has the smarts and the commitment to pull this off), The Dandy Team(Patrick and Roberto are the Stars of the show), and Emil and Kathy(they seem to work so nicely together)
This is a creative process and obviously not everyone is going to get along. But I do like that they do express their different points of you. Loved that they showed a trend forecaster and how colors are picked.
I too love the Pixie twins. I want to wrap them up and take them home with me.

I love the Patrick and Roberto team. It comes me keep coming back to see how they will resolve their egos.
I agree ..The architect was the one who should have gone home.
And the DJ just seemed to be following his experts lead. Because the last two looks are similar to her designs on her collection.
The next person to go should be Vanessa. Enough already.
Patrick and Roberto’s dress was beautiful. Patrick walked out and Roberto did stay to finish the dress. So he is not that bad after all. I do not think that Roberto is trying to hurt Patrick but teach him…Isn’t Patrick the wane be designer. I mean you should know how to sew and construct clothes to say the very least. I think the dress was gorgeous. The shoes even the little handbag was adorable.
Remember it’s a show and we don’t get to see the behind the scenes of why people get so upset with each other. It seems like the tensions are very high between most of the designers and the experts. Except Emil and the jewelry designer. They both seem so sweet.
Poor Coco does not stand a chance with Marylin. Last week she seemed determined(and I think her dress should have won last week) but this week she just seems like a drill sergeant with poor Coco.
I did have a Calvin Klein dress, that was similar to last weeks winning look ,in the 90’s except without the tail in the back. Will try to find it on the internet and post.
I will stay tuned that’s for sure..
I think you guys are missing the boat here!! Lou Anna’s dress was a Calvin Klein knock-off!! Racked NY also agrees!

I really love Kathy with Native Rose. I wish they showed us more about how they decided to pick the names of the other teams and how they decided on logo’s – I like the branding process. I love the name ‘Lily Remarkable’ but that’s the only one they really took time to mention much.
I feel bad for Coco with Marilyn, even though Marilyn’s dress the first week should have won for SURE. I think they just don’t know how to get along.
