(December 2009) Andrea Schweikhard Robison, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Antonio La Pastina Project Runway premiered on Bravo TV on December 1st, 2004, and is now in its sixth season, which aired on Lifetime. On Project Runway, designer contestants live together in apartments in downtown New York for the duration of filming and work on weekly challenges at Parsons The New School for Design. I am interested in determining the ways in which reality shows like Project Runway both allow and restrict the display of gender and sexual identity for contestants through the construction of a social order. This study is a textual analysis of all five currently released seasons of Project Runway. I draw from theories of social interaction to provide the interpretive framework for this study.

The Layana New Mart officially opened on Monday, but several show- Aguilar rooms decided to open on Sunday to meet with buyers who preferred to shop on a weekend day. The concurrent trade shows also followed a staggered schedule. Designers and Agents shifted its start date from Monday to Sunday this season while Select, at the CMC, opened on Sunday, and Coeur and Brand Assembly, at the Cooper, opened on Monday. Exhibitors reported buyers were writing orders for ev- erything from Immediate goods through Fall, and most said the mood among retailers was cautiously upbeat. ➥ Market page 6 Change Coming With Two Historic Garment Buildings Being Converted Into Loft-Style Apartments Bri Seeley LA FASHION WEEK By Deborah Belgum Senior Editor The 12-story Garment Capitol Building, built in 1926, has a faded Gothic Revival exterior whose roof is punctuated with 5-foot-tall graffiti spray painted on the side.
