How is that the theme of the show always gets thrown away when they see something they LOOVE?! I didn’t quite see how Brandon’s look fit in but I may not be on the forefront of hip hop fashion. I LOOVED the loden silky folded fabric look from the Spanish guy whose name I don’t know yet. I hope he will emerge soon.
Talk about costumey – that butterfly thing and the bamba dress.
I feel for anyone stuck near those twins, you know what I mean, Pumpkin Pie?
Those twins are putting my nerves through a cheese grater. One of them clearly favors crop tops with long floor-dragging flaps. The other one did some red thing was ill-fitting and unflattering.
I can’t remember any of their names at this point, sorry.
The guy who sewed his finger? Yes, it hurts, I have done it before myself, but at the end of the day it is just a needle. He was acting like his finger was chopped off. And that was NO excuse for that rag he made. And the color looked terrible with her skin. Then he had the nerve to put a train on it? He made her look like a 1960s cocktail waitress who is getting married during Happy Hour.
And the Africa dude who went home? I say Africa dude because did you know he was from Africa? He’s from Africa, you know. Influenced by Africa. In Africa. Just so you know. :rolleyes: Wasn’t sure if he make that that clear enough. Sheesh, shut up and design! He needed to go because his garment was utter crap. He pissed me off with all of his talk about appreciating a woman’s curves, but then he devoted not one brain cell about how to dress a woman. No woman wants to look like she fell into a bin of fabric & notions and rolled out! It was (too) tight where you don’t want it tight and loose where you don’t want it loose!
Man-Bun Guy who won, well now at least we know who their favorite is this season. 
Pink Hair Dude is trying to be weird just for the sake of it, and he couldn’t sew himself out of wet paper bag. His girl looked like a sad rag doll.
Piano Playing All-Black Tulle Skirt Guy? Well at least he can sew and finish a garment well!
Miss Modest was lucky she got a tall skinny girl, cuz her chick looked like Jack the Pumpkin King’s prom date.
Girl Who Looks Like She has a Blooming Onion on her Head? I thought she was going to win. Overall that look fell out of the ugly tree and hit every limb on the way down, but again, she has sewing & construction skills, so she’ll be around for awhile. And Heidi said she wants to wear it, so there’s your taste level right there.
The Spiky Red-Haired Oldster? Sweet Lord her stuff is ugly, but she seems clever and holding her own in the sea of wierdos. So far her experience is serving her well. But she’ll be gone soon enough. Nobody in my age range ever wins this this thing or even comes close.
Miss Puerto Rico, what can I say? Carmen Miranda. All she was missing was the fruit headdress.
My Favorite was the Short Bald Big Glasses Girl form Atlanta. I thought hers was cute and figure flattering and showed she knows what she is doing.
The rest were somewhat forgettable. There was a little leather-looking minidress that was short in the back and longer in the front that had some zipper gimmick which was stupid, but the top of the dress was nice.
And do they not get to know who their models are before they start cutting? Is that why there were so many problems with fit?
As soon as I saw Deyonte’s fabric, I knew he would be on the bottom. Neon pea green lace and sheer? Horrible. And then the design. Oof. I’m glad he was safe though. He has potential.
QFT your whole post! Singling this out because, yes, they do!! They get the picture in their sketchbook before they even start drawing. No excuses. :mad:
I agree about the sewn finger. I’ve done it on a less extreme scale – move on. That piece was a hot mess.
When the twin said, a pair of silk jogging pants – um, did you learn nothing from the silver boxing shorts from the first challenge??!
I will cop to being the whitest girl you would ever not want to go to the ballet with - so what do I know. But do sad chicken feathers in birthday party colors and vast expanses of salmon-colored felt really say, “Africa”?
(Ok, it probably wasn’t actually felt. Might have been some kind of yoga mat. I don’t know.)
I could see almost nothing else but the sheer pantaloons over white briefs. I’m so glad the judges called him out on that.
My favorite was the blue and cream/white pajamas with robe.
I am happy Kenya made it through. She seems nice.
And if Twin 1 has won, there would have been trouble, since she gets so much help from Twin 2.
Did another episode air last night? Cause I couldn’t find it.
Yes, it was designing sleepwear for Heidi Klum Intimates (after they spent the night sleeping at the top of the Empire State Building).
Did the pink hair guy learn nothing from the silver boxing shorts from the first challenge??!
Sorry for the multiple posts – I keep remembering details! One designer had a beautiful swatch of ombre purples from lilac through deep fuschia. Definitely all in the purple family, not even burgundy or maroon. Tim says it looks like a menstrual indicent. :smack: Um, TIm, if there’s one thing you may not know about… if I had a menstrual incident in those colors I’d be running to the ER.
Unless the color is off on my TV 
I have a bet with myself: Will a twin be stabbed by an annoyed designer or auf’d first? And whatever the upcoming cheating scandal they keep teasing is, it wouldn’t surprise me if the twins are in the thick of it
The twins! Project Runway, why must you torture us? I felt dirty for liking Bald Twin’s pyjamas. I sincerely hope they are key players in the cheating scandal.
I don’t get the love for the winning look last night. I get it’s different and maybe fashion forward, but it’s not an evening look. How could the model say she felt sexy in that? Super-cropped white shirt, I feel like I saw that from a twin in the first week.
I hope he is serious about doing something other than menswear-inspired.
I thought Kenya would win because I could totally see Heidi wearing her look.
And that one twin, to be so out of touch that she thought the judges were wrong about her being in the bottom? She had TWO DAYS and she came up with that??
That losing look. What. the. heck. I liked how the blonde girl tried to come up with a comment beside WTF: It looked like you had a lot less to spend than you did.
I’m gonna figure out how to travel through my TV and stab both of them. (The hairy one gets stabbed before the bald one.)
I’m rooting for the professor, but no way she wins, the way this show has been going.
Not only was Brandon’s look not evening, there was nothing that conveyed “good” vs. evil. Zac pretty called him a one way monkey, yet he gets the win??? WE saw a cropped shirt from him the first week! I loved Kenya’s look and that should been the winner. I also loved Kentaro’s dress. Perhaps one of the twins will run through the sewing room with scissors and will “accidentally” trip on someone’s foot.
I like her but I was 
that she did a pink slip dress after the pinkish slip nightgown last week.
I was rooting for Samantha but last night was bad. I couldn’t even figure out what she meant to do.
ETA: OOOH! And Margarita “I design for real women and just want to make them beautiful./But I’ve never designed for someone with big boobs.” ???! It’s amazing how shaken some of these people get when faced with boobage!
I have found myself an episode behind and last night watched the last 2.
On the Pajama Challenge, this was so painful to me to see all that lovely silk charmeuse just put through a grinder and shredded beyond all reason! The sewing skills of most of these “designers” is just plain POOR.
Good Vs. Evil
And why do they give them fantasy challenges and then not let them really go for it? I realize it they don’t want costumes, but how bad could that really be? It would have to be better than some of the garbage this group is coming up with now.
Right! lol! The ones who say they like curvy women and then can’t actually fit anything on a body with those curves.
And since the whole “real woman” thing is such juicy deal this time, why do they have them still working with those same child-size stick figure mannequins?
Grumbacher Red, I have a bone to pick with you! I want to quote 2/3 of what you say since it’s what I’m thinking but better said!! Now that you reminded me of the cool bird fabric – yes! That would have been interesting instead of the Gwyneth Paltrow Oscar knock-off covered with supersize toilet seat cover. I have to think she has better things in her.
I didn’t mind the one twin look – leather on one side and flowy on the other. It’s been done before but it looked well-fitted and -made.
Too funny! I have been watching this show for too many seasons, I guess! I always wonder why some of these designers get so lost in the challenges, don’t they watch past seasons the show? After nearly 20 years, none of it is new anymore. If I tried out and was selected for Project Runway, I would have planned out ideas well ahead in my head what I would do for the unconventional, lingere/sleepwear, evening gown, avante garde, real woman, etc…
But they all seem so lost, every time!
Also, one of my all-time favorites was Jillian Lewis from Season 4. That was the same year Christian Siriano won. I didn’t like her personality so much, but the girl could sew, and her runway show was really good. It was inspired by renaissance art and suits of armor. Jillian had time constraint issues throughout, but to me that is not a bad thing. Greatness takes time.
I miss early Project Runway.
I think part of the problem among aspiring designers today is that PR has become passé, and I don’t think the prize package is as prestigious any more. Seriously, they are using JC Penney accessories now. That, and nobody wants to have to work under their ridiculous time constrictions.
