The Official Project Runway Summer Season thread! — Page 61

I'm really EXCITED! I've been rooting for Jeffrey for a while now, and his collection was gorgeous. All four will definitely have a future in the fashion industry, though.

Jane2, is that an example of you being outspoken?! (LOL)

Boy's got talent. Congratulations, Jeffrey.

YAAAAAY... i'm so happy... the way the editing went i REALLY thought that Uli would win... Jeffrey's collection was by far the best!!!

SPOILERS





Jeffrey: His colection was pretty good. I loved his green and white dress. Some of the pieces though were a little off.

Uli: My favoirte. I loved everything she made. Fantastic. I thought she should have won.

Luara: I liked it a lot. The constant use of feathers annoyed me, but it was a great collection. I loved her first and final designs.

Michael: Dear God. What was he thinking?

What a horrid show. This program has fallen off the runway.

Awarding the top prize to a liar, a cheat and a "I'm too hip for the room" attitude queen is disgusting. Jeffrey has displayed his lack of originality over and over again. OK...we got it. You're a rocker. You're cool. But your designs are utter crap.

But then you have the hip-less Michael Coors and Nina Face-lift Garcia trying to recapture their wonderful 40's by drooling over a collection that even Debbie Gibson wouldn't wear. And don't look to Heidi for any help...you can see the light between her ears.

This show has lost any credibility with this decision. The trend continues after last year's debacle where they let the equally "too cool for the room/too untalented" Santino go through just so he would cause the much needed drama to keep this little community access show afloat.

Perfect example of the show's stupidity is when they fawned over Jeffrey's couture gown which looked like a yellow picnic table cloth. Yeah!! This will be the hot look at all the VFW conventions!

The real artists were Laura and Uli. But they criticize Laura for her lack of range, then praise Uli for her range. What range? She used brown floral prints instead of blue? Just because these two didn't design for the Marilyn Mason tour, I guess we neeed to ship them off to Stein-Mart.

This show sucks and I won't be wasting my time any more watching a show that supposedly supports creativity, yet panders to untalented hacks and drama queens for the sake of ratings. It's an insult to any who aspires to create art.

The runway has fallen way off.

Michael's final collection was truly innovative, vibrant, and fresh (of course, the judges savaged it.) Uli went a little too far against her strengths with all those neutral tones. Laura played up her strengths (as she has done throughout the series) and came up with a stunningly beautiful final show. Personal note: What is wrong with having a marked, distinctive style and working to achieve perfection within it (like, say, Oscar Wilde, Mozart, and Shakespeare) as opposed to being mindlessly, trendily "innovative" in ways that will date immediately? Which brings me to Jeffrey's

HIDEOUS

HORRIFYING

COMPLETELY UNWEARABLE

designs. Every one this season has been horrible. The model he took onto the runway for the final judging looked like a peppermint stick. And that yellow mismatched-pattern, badly stitched, thrown-together-in-a-food processor "couture gown" looked like something Kathy Kinney's Mimi would have worn on "The Drew Carey Show"--except that her version would have fit!

And when you design your entire collection in a workshop that you own and work in every day and that has a dozen people sewing garments for you is it really outsourcing? Did they actually question his peeps as to what they did for him?
Uli was robbed!

The collection was hanging in the main workspace when Jefrfrey took Tim to see it during his "surprise" visit--not in a separate room.

Well, if what the accusers say is true, let me ask you this-Is it more important to be a good designer or to be able to sew well?

All the sewing skill in the world isn't going to make up for fugly clothes.

---

Unfortunately the majority of this competition is about the sewing skills and not the design. They get 20 to 30 minutes of design time and one or two days of sewing time. If it were truly a design show each designer would have a dedicated seamstress working for them to create the garment they envisioned.

Let's hope for new judges next season.

Not to beat a dead horse, but did anyone else find it "interesting" that when Jeffrey's shorts were disqualified he decided to make the skirt. Perhaps when he realized that the producers could actually compare that garment's construction to his other pieces he had an epiphany. Voila, a pair of pants that "he" made (but had forgotten about) appeared out of his ass and were put into the show. Pah-leeze!
