Project Runway 11/05/09

As much as I liked Gordana’s pieces, I think the right three are going to Fashion Week. At least Irina and Althea acknowledged each other’s talent.

Althea’s dress thing was the ugliest thing I have ever seen on Project Runway. It was hideous. It did not have one redeeming quality. It was ugly, ugly, ugly. She should have gone home for that, and the fact that she didn’t just basically confirmed that she could have sent a plastic bag and rope down the runway and still gone to New York. Irina’s look was also pretty ugly, though I will admit that it looked like clothes and the back was interesting (neither of which could be said about Althea’s).

I just watched it. No surprises in who the judges picked, we called it weeks ago, but I was hoping Gordana would be there. I hated the corset look on Christopher’s dress. I didn’t see Irina’s look as any more innovative or edgy that Gordana’s, and Gordana’s was prettier. Irina’s just looked like a Grecian gown. Althea’s could’ve been interesting in a different fabric. Korto (I think) used to do some great-looking woven pieces, which would’ve done the architectural look proud. I didn’t see it in Althea’s dress. Carol Hannah’s didn’t work for me at all.

I was underwhelmed by this week’s designs, including the final three. However, I do think that the right three were selected. My partner and I called it a few weeks ago.

The missus and i also thought that the best three designers probably got the nod, but if they were truly judging on this week’s performance alone, Althea should have been packing her bags.

Also, i think Gordanna got the short end of the stick in a few other episodes. She put out some great stuff that got short shrift from the judges.

Is anyone else thinking that, overall, the designers this season are pretty weak compared to previous seasons?

There is no designer that I look forward to seeing their clothes each week. I’m just watching because of inertia and curiosity rather than interest in the designs.

I forgot to watch, forgot to record, and didn’t really care. I did happen upon the runway portion on a rerun last night and was not blown away by any of the dresses. I’m not particularly curious about or expecting to be surprised by any of their collections.

Bittersweet for Gordana, I was holding my breath for her.

NTL she is probably relieved and her model Matar is not that strong on the runway either.

Irina’s dress looked like a deflated spaceship balloon, Kaylinn looked awful for once, hee!
