The Official Project Runway Summer Season thread! — Page 47

Whenever I picture couture, this image appears in my head:



I wish I could've seen what Austin Scarlett would do with this challenge.

Jane, what I meant was the judges are probably much harsher towards the designers on the show than they would *ever* be towards actual established designers. They would praise them for being avant-garde instead of calling it tacky. I doubt even Nina Garcia would tell John Galliano to his face that he had no taste just because she didn't like the dress.

Christian Dior Fall Couture Collection

honestly, couture isn't meant to be worn. it is meant to be theatrical and get attention for the label. only about 7 women in the world regularly purchase it. this wasn't always the case, obviously. i love all the over the top marilyn manson clothes from galliano. he has his own label, but unless he is designing for dior, it isn't OFFICIAL couture. the couture houses are: Adeline André
Chanel
Christian Dior
Jean-Paul Gaultier
Givenchy
Christian Lacroix
Scherrer
Dominique Sirop
Frank Sorbier
Emanuel Ungaro

Versace, Armani & Valentino are among the foreigners invited to show their collections.

I wouldn't wear the galliano stuff, but "goth is good" is one of my sayings. goth always comes around in the culture in reaction to oppressive political regimes. the last big goth period was under reagan (and teenagers like it because they are ALWAYS under the oppressive regimes of school and parents) I was a goth girl in my day and i still have corpse lipsticks in my purse, but now they have a pearl finish.

"It's LACROIX, sweetie dahling. LA-CROIX!"

I agree, Blueroses. when I saw that gown I gasped-STUNNING! One of the most gorgeous garments I've ever seen. And I was semi-pleased with how SJ looked in it. Normally I don't think she wears clothes well.

---

LOL, I hear you. But I"m saying that I'm insulting both the judges AND Galliano!

Elphaba, doesn't he kind of look like Kevin Spacey would if he avoided the dentist and just swallowed a football?

I love Kevin Spacey. Jeffrey just reminds me of a junkie, welfare version.

I nearly peed my pants with glee when Vincent got the boot. He put a basket on a model's head and called it a hat, and i'm NEVER going to get over it. Every single thing he has designed has been both hideous and dated and I'm thrilled he's finally gone. I will miss him rambling about how wonderful his disasters are however, always good for a laugh.

does anybody have any good theories about wednesday? I don't think that it has to do with the Olsen Twins... that would be too obvious

seriously? I really want her to go...

i think that she is talented within the one genre, and the three garments that she knows how to make, but beyond that i feel as if she has no clue
