My teachers said I was always the happiest child.
These people are envious of my happiness and positive attitude.
I’m so glad she’s gone. She struck me as passive aggressive. And saying she was always nice to the other designers? I seem to remember a designer flipping another off at the end of a runway show. Now who was that???
As for All Stars, Patricia?
Hmm. I guess I bought into Kini’s story – a little rich girl would buy the classic symbolic pieces. And they are so well-made in such a short period of time. But I can see what you mean too. And I agree – I didn’t get the love for Shar’s piece.
I don’t remember Sandhya having talking head sessions where she criticized others’ designs. Am I just having selective memory? I know it’s part of the show but every time I just think, never mind their look, worry about your own!
I am so glad she is gone. That woman is in a world all of her own and it revolves around her and in that world she is so nice and peaceful that she could not possibly be deserving of anyone’s dislike. In that world she’s also a misunderstood genius.
I am so glad whatever drugs the judges were on finally wore off. I am surprised that they did not comment on her remarks on the runway which were basically “thank you for your feedback, but fuck you because I’m a genius and this is awesome.”
Glad to see the end of Sandhya, who I don’t think is a bad person, just not particularly good at interpersonal stuff.
Thought Korina should have won – her dress was way more creative and fun. Kini’s – the plaids didn’t work all that well together (the scale of the one he used for the coat was a little too big), and the dress was too big to go under the coat – might be able to forgive the length, but the dress was so puffy it made the coat stick out very, very oddly.
And a spoiler for those who consider the end-of-show “next week, on …” teaser a spoiler –
love love love the go out and find a client challenges. Was it first All-Stars where the designers had to actually buy an item of clothing from their muse and then use it in the design?
Well it’s about time!! Finally Sandhya makes something so hideous the judges have nowhere to turn. She made a baby onesie. For a 9-12 year old. And actually thought it was age appropriate! All I could think when I saw her poor model was that she looked like Ralphie in “A Christmas Story” when he wears the pink bunny one piece pajamas.
I laughed when Tim was basically “You do all these weird color combinations and I never get it, but then for some reason the judges keep liking it” during Sandhya’s critique. It’s what everyone else was thinking.
I really liked Emily’s. I don’t really know why the judges had problems with it. IMO I think Korina should have won this one.
I liked both Kini’s and Korina’s. Kini’s was better sewn and it did have a relationship to the doll, Korina’s was more tenuous, i.e. I didn’t see it at all. Don’t understand why she had a difficult time sewing those flaps, the closeup of the finished garment was quite scary.
What I really want to know is how Kini manages to construct these elaborate garments and finish ahead of time. Anyone who has been to fashion design school, and most of them have, learns how to drape and make patterns. Where are the others bleeding time?

OK, WTF.
(1) Alexander’s first outfit was so far and away not the most hideous thing ever made. It was less hideous than what Sandhya made just last week and the week before. I actually kind of liked it – maybe because as a quilter I would totally put those fabrics near each other. The amoebaness was a kind of cool in a weird way and at least it said something, unlike that thing he ended up with. He should have been more like Sandhya and just said, it will be beautiful! However, he had a lot of time after the first critique and there’s no reason to have to be taping the outfit together.
(2) How does Amanda keep squeaking through? That dress was uggo.
(3) I did feel bad for the designers in a way because Tim is a sweetheart and it would be hard to look in his face and turn down his request for Shar’s extra time. But all it would have taken was one bitch (I’m looking at you, Korina) to say no and it would have been fair. Ultimately Shar will go home soon, and the final three won’t be affected, and this adds to the drama, but even without the extra time bit, I felt she should have gone home. At least Alexander’s was appropriate for the client; Shar’s was just wrong. A simple red dress to wear out to a concert would have been fine.
(4) Sean should go home just for using fringe. Good God people, NO MORE FRINGE!
Char’s outfit was hideous.
Korina is a horrible, horrible person.
I am totally on board with both of these thoughts. I would have sent Shar home because that was one ugly ass thing she did to that poor woman. She has no taste and it time for her to go home. I want Kini’s dress. It was extremely cute.
Also, real people off the street? Yeah right. Suuuuure. Next up: PR: We Have a Bridge in Brooklyn For Sale.
Hee. I was thinking, well, New York does have a disproportionate number of really good-looking people…but c’mon! And a frigging ballerina?! That’s pretty close to a model body and not a “real” woman (as much as I don’t like that term).
This was the first time in all the seasons of watching PR that I was able to pick the winner, the top three, safe, bottom three, and loser. Char must have some kind of voodoo hold on Tim.
At lest Amanda had the guts to say “well, we voted to give her more time so we can’t bitch.” This is a competition as you designers constantly remind us, and you are not there to make friends, so if you didn’t want to give Char 10 minutes, you should have opened your mouths (Alexander’s was already and is constantly open). And he should have gone home just for his pairing of colors. As soon as he picked the green houndstooth and bile yellow fabrics at Mood I knew he was a goner. Char will be gone next week. And Korina can STFU now and get off my screen.
I’m sure Tim has a soft spot for Char for whatever reason, but I believed him when he said the extra 10 minutes was more for the model and less for the designer. With a split of that size, i’m not sure what else they could’ve done outside of wrap her in duct tape.
I hated Charketa blaming her model for the zipper. Zippers malfunction. Get over it. And if I was giving Char 10 more minutes, I think the rest of them should’ve at least asked for the same.
Kini’s looked like clothes instead of fashion to me, but actually wearable.
Alexander’s was just wrong, adn so was his previous piece.
StG
Exactly. Tim says “Can we give Char 10 minutes?” and someone else says “Sure, actually I’d like 10 extra minutes myself, OK?” followed by a chorus of “me too”.
Also: I must say this: That Aldo commercial that they play over and over during Project Runway just sets my teeth on edge. I hate the music they use. And the horrible vertical squash makes my eyes bleed. Why is the aspect ratio messed up so bad? Is that supposed to be artistic, or some kind of technical glitch? I friggin HATE that commercial!
I just watched this tonight.
I agreed with all three bottom looks, and two of the top. The only difference is that I would have made Sean I top look, because it was very elegant, and I would have made Emily safe because the dress was nice, but the ruffles weren’t.
I agreed with Korina winning, even though it boosted her already huge ego, but I thought Char should have gone home. Her piece looked like Sandhya’s onesie for the children’s episode.
Y’all have already covered the important points: the others should have said “sure, if you’re giving her 10 minutes, give us 10 minutes also”; and then Char should have gone home. Ugly, ugly, ugly, and inappropriate. Nice of the woman not to point that out in high-diva-dudgeon, though.
And I also liked Sean’s dress. He and Kini will be two of the final three – who will be the third?
I have to totally disagree with that. With the plaid and the cross-chest draping, Alexander’s model looked like an escapee from the Highland Games, and the entire concept of a high-waisted, really full short skirt on someone who is short-waisted will never be flattering, no matter how you execute it. Also, it looked like her boob was about to slide out from under her top any minute. Char’s stuff…well, if she’d left the peplum off that jacket and not made the legs of the shorts pencil in, it would have been a totally bland, normal outfit. Boring, but not awful.
I honestly don’t get Nina carrying on so about how painfully, immodestly short those shorts were, and SHE’S A TEACHER FERCRISSAKES. Yes, she’s a teacher, but she has a life outside school, and there’s nothing scandalous about a teacher wearing [distressed whisper] red or about being seen at a rock concert in shorts of a length I see on the street every single day all summer long. Maybe Nina thinks it’s unprofessional for a teacher to go to rock shows, I dunno.
I meant in the sense of the woman loving fifties-style spinny skirts. He at least did something along the lines of what she would like, not that it turned out well. Shar’s was out in left field for that woman; she did what she was comfortable with, not what the client would want.
I was watching Nashville tonight (an even guiltier pleasure than PR), and was really bewildered by where the hell I knew Juliette’s (young country superstar character) stylist from – couldn’t put it together till after the scene was over. It was Amanda. Bizarre! Apparently she’s from Nashville and does styling for music stars – makes sense, given her fondness for tacky stuff with an arts-and-crafts vibe. [meow!]
