 Project Runway REWIND - "The Fashion Daddies" Podcast Rewind to "Project Runway" Season One Episode One

It's time to GO BACK! We are time traveling to 2004 and where it all started: Season One of "Project Runway"!

2004...That was a Year!

For our first "Project Runway Rewind" Episode, we are starting with Season One and the VERY FIRST EPISODE and Challenge: The Unconventional Challenge! The designers were surprised to see themselves at Gristedes, the NYC supermarket, shopping for unconventional materials to create their first designs for the show...
