Okay, so I've been obsessed with Project Runway this season. I've watched previous seasons, but this year just pulled me in and I HAD to watch. I have fallen in love with the predictable drapey dresses that Rami Kashou produced for nearly every episode. I loved the wearability and beauty of Jillian's clothes. Christian Siriano was the sassy elf who always provided something dramatic and usually unwearable. I was really rooting for Jillian to knock everyones socks off. But her collection looked like it was all over the place and I could NOT get over this one sweater with horizontal stripes and puffy loopy sleeves matched with a simple short skirt. It was hideous! I wasn't the only one because I tivoed the show and for a tiny split second you can see Michael Kors talking to Victoria Beckham as that particular piece is being brought down the runway again, he cringes and says something that looks like "thats ugly" or something. I can sort of read lips, but it was so quick, don't quote me on it. I also wasn't a huge fan of this gold lame' dress with ropework on it that she made. It looked cheap. Rami had mostly beautiful clothes, with some interesting choices. I, for one, would not have made bright pink pants or used teal so freely, but thats me and my boring self. There was this basketweave thing that he used on a couple of pieces that really was interesting. But my favorite was an antique lace floor length dress. The placement of those lace strips was so flattering to the model, and it just looked pretty. And of course Christian. His collection looked like the sisters and cousins to his last look on the regular season. Everything looked like it stepped out of his inspiration painting, except this really "fierce" brown and cream puff dress. IT was gorgeous and if I weren't pregnant and 2500 lbs overweight, I would totally buy it. I really hated his feather dress the first time I saw it, but after running the Tivo back and looking at it again, it's probably what won the competition for him. It was super detailed and, though its unwearable, it really is stunning.
So thats how I spent my Wednesday night.
