Saw mention of the magazine article on IDF awhile back, but now the article's on the Harper's Bazaar website:

"You see a big slice of America on the show, much the same as when you go to an airport," says designer James Mischka. Mischka's partner, Mark Badgley, points out that the egalitarianism is actually "very refreshing." On one episode last season, Sanjaya mentioned that the contestants had $400 to spend on an outfit. How can you not look great for $400 was Sanjaya's assessment. "I didn't think it was a lot of money," says season-five finalist Katharine McPhee. "I mean, it is if you shop at Forever 21, but you need great shoes." Badgley adds, "In our world, a pair of shoes is $1,000."
I think this is called...well, it's unfair that the girls & guys both get the same amount of money to shop because obviously the girls need more to look good. I don't mean it that way. There's more to their outfits so...nobody really cares about the guys shoes because you barely see them...for someone like Katharine, her shoes probably cost $400 most of the time.
