Yay! My favorite designer, Jay, won the big prize on Project Runway. The theme of his show was "Stereotypes," and each outfit was supposed to evoke a different kind of music. He doesn't explicitly say what each girl listens to, but these are my guesses:
#1: Aspen girl, a ritzy girl with money who likes to ski. Listens to soft, laid-back jazz, Eva Cassidy, Norah Jones, Sting.
#2: Cross-cultural girl. She likes world music, particularly East Asian, South Asian, Native American, and African music. For some reason she also strikes me as someone who likes futuristic techno. She's more about rhythms and beats than about vocals and words.
#3: Hippie Girl. Listens to folk music, loves Woody Guthrie, old Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin.
#4: Definitely Indie Rock girl with punk tendencies. She likes Sleater-Kinney, Interpol, The Fiery Furnaces, Wilco, Stereolab.
#5: Ethereal girl, she's very fragile and likes sensitive lyrics. Likes Belle & Sebastien, Nick Drake, Tori Amos.
#6: Ghetto-fabulous girl. She likes OutKast, Blackalicious, Kanye West, 50 Cent.
#7: Urban nerd girl. Likes quirky, brainy stuff like They Might Be Giants, Elvis Costello, Death Cab for Cutie. Alternatively, she could be that ironic, detached, too-cool-for-school girl who's into techno/house.
#8: OK, this one stumps me. A raver, perhaps? Or an elegant goth into Joy Division?
#9: Urban hipster girl. She's into industrial rock and Bjork.
#10: Hmm, stumped again. I think this is the snowbunny that Jay mentioned, but I have idea what snowbunny music is like. She looks more like insane asylum girl (with fashionable lavender straightjacket) to me, who listens to the crazy voices in her head.
#11: I think this is the hooker that Jay mentioned. Erm, Madonna, L'il Kim, and Nine Inch Nails? I don't know what constitutes hooker music.
#12: Funky glamour girl. Definitely glam rock and new wave. David Bowie, Duran Duran, Erasure. Alternatively, a bubble gum pop princess.
