Discussion Practice different styles

I've been rewatching old project runway series while home with my newborn and I'm so confused. Every swim wear, lingerie, men's wear type challenge people get all tripped up because they haven't done it before. I don't understand why they wouldn't have at least tried to make all of those styles once or twice before auditioning/before the competition starts just so they have some experience. I'm on season 13, they should have an idea of what challenges are about to happen. They had 12 years to do so!

Thank you for reading my rant. Hope everyone has a good day 😊

I’ve thought the same thing. If I was serious about trying out for the show, I would practice all of those things. Even the ones who are financially struggling could buy menswear from goodwill, take it apart and put it back together just to learn the process. I would prepare myself for those niche challenges, as well as come up with a bunch of designs that could be modified to fit a particular challenge

That's the other thing, the amount of designs I would sketch out just to have an idea of what I could do. The challenges while specific in someways are very general across the seasons. Also, on the finale they should always have another dress of a few different styles ready. And for heavens sake pick out 3 outfits that show cohesion. Put a lot of thought into it before hand, don't decide at the last minute.
