"The Finale" |
Spoiler info in this thread......I'll try to come back to post some pics, but if I can't, maybe geg can post some. Otherwise, you can go to bravotv.com, and check out the final runway pics there....
I'm hoping that's enough filler so that we can now discuss the finale....
Was anyone surprised?
I liked pieces from each line. But I think I would have given the nod to Rami. But Christian's was good, so I guess he deserved the win.

1. "RE: The Finale" |
My only surprise was that Christian apparently scrapped the feather pants. I would say that maybe I missed them, but I can't imagine how I could have. I think he deserved the win. Like I've said before, I wouldn't want to share as much as an elevator ride with Christian, but on my TV I love him. I'm glad he won.Jillian's collection was the most wearable, but I agree with the judges that she suffered from a lack of focus. It almost seemed like she had so many great ideas that she just went with all of them, and perhaps needed to edit a bit. That said, she had some beautiful, fabulous pieces that I would love to have in my wardrobe. Her jackets are stunning. Rami showed his best stuff in his face-off with Chris, in my opinion. He also suffered from Chloe Dao-esque 80's prom dress color-barforama. (Speaking of, why didn't he use that ultra-teal or ultra-pink in the prom dress challenge?) While I do appreciate the work that he puts into the detail on his clothing (the weaving was really lovely) his aesthetic is just not my cup of tea. What was Victoria Beckham wearing? It looked like a beach towel. Is she just a talking head on a stick? She reminds me of Jeff Dunham's talking Jalapeno on a Stick, with less wit. Do you think she has to get her hair cut every day to maintain that sharp line of hair framing the way to her pointy little chin? Maybe her hair stylist left the smock on her and that's what that orange thing was. Let's play a game! Final three, Wear, Frame and Torch. It's kind of like Marry, Boink, Kill for the fashion set. Only, you can pick the same designer for more than one category, if you wish. my rules! Wear Well, self-explanatory. You'd wear it if you could, size, practicality and gender be damned. Frame You appreciate the look, but you wouldn't be caught dead wearing it. Torch Flick your Bic and watch that fabric burn, baby, burn. I'd: Wear: Jillian's. The jackets, oh the jackets. So tailored and lovely. Also, the skirt she showed with the black/white wide striped sweater was very cute. (I didn't care for the sweater, though.) Frame: Christian's. I'm a sucker for the hats with the feathers. That featherey foofy second-to-last piece reminded me of cappuccino with lots of froth, swirled around a bit. Pretty. Torch: Rami's. When day-glo color fabrics burn, do they break the barrier of the visible light spectrum and simply disappear? The world needs to find out. 
A springy surprise from Tribe!

2. "RE: The Finale" |
It wasn't a surprise about Christian...especially with hte way Victoria Beckham was salivating all over him. I loved when Heidi says "Christian, Victoria would like to say something to you as the winner of Project Runway' And in the most spectaculary anti-climactic second of reality TV ever, Victoria goes "Um....I'd love to wear your clothes....anytime.' Anyway, I would definitley frame Christian's clothes, because they were beautiful works of art. His two-toned dress at the end was so 'major' I would hang it above my fireplace. I'm torn between what I would burn and what I would wear, because there were two of Jillian's dresses that were fugly, and Rami's choice of a eighties-teal-color made me throw up a little in my mouth. If it came right down to it, I'd wear Rami's and burn Jillian's I guess. Points to ponder: 1. Did Micheal Kors really watch the entire show with his sunglasses on? Did I miss something and that's now so hideous and arrogant that it's cool again? These cycles of fashion get smaller and smaller, I tell you. 2. Does anyone else miss Heidi's eyebrows? 3. Why do I have the feeling that secretly, somewhere in Tim Gunn's house is a little closet full of cross-stitched pillows and wall hangings that he loves because they're terrifically sentimental, but can't display because, well, he's Tim Gunn? That man is so sweet, I could put him in my coffee and drink him up. 4. Did anybody say in their best Santino/Tim Gunn impersonation 'Where's Andre?' when they showed Andre in the crowd? 'Cuz I did. Repeatedly. 5. Would anybody miss Nina Garcia if she accidentally fell off the planet? Neither would I.
Sig by Tribe- the real 'Jacob' of the island.

3. "RE: The Finale" |
OK, My first question is WHERE THE HECK WAS JEFF? You know, the JEFF that won last year's competition?? As in Sebella??? I LOVED him, but did not see him anywhere last night! Maybe I need to be kind and rewind, and look through that small tidbit of crowd pieces we were allowed to see. I was sure he'd be there! Please don't tell me he's been black-balled, as some of the ANTM's have in the past...or other reality faves.Anyway, on to the win. I was pretty sure going in it would be Christian, the way everyone has gushed over him all season. BUT, after seeing Rami's collection, I had some doubts. Loved the weaving! And that shoulderless dress-the one he showed last year, THAT is my pick to FRAME!
To FLAME would be that hideous blouse of Jillian's-that black and white thing with whatever (worms??) coming out of the sleeves!
To CLAIM (or wear, if I were 2 sizes smaller) would be Christian's last dress-the double-mocha/latte feathered peice! OOOH, BABY!! Have NO clue where I'd wear it, but if Victoria Becham can wear it, than you'd better bet your bippy, I can, too!!! Just put me in a cage with 2 week's worth of Jenny Craig, and I'll show that bobble head a few things about fashion!!! Anyway, I felt it was a decent finale. Wondered how 'couture' it was for Heidi to wear jeans (I'm sure they cost way over $1,000-but still) to a fasion showing. And yes, I did miss the eyebrows. Is that an IN thing these days?? I'll have to check! BTW, does anyone know which ELLE magazine these clothes will be showing in?? THANKS!

5. "RE: The Finale" |
Christian was an obvious winner. When they sent Jillian back to the green room I got a little nervous (so did Christian).I would wear Jillians stuff... those jackets are awesome. I loved the knits too. That sweater with the cutouts was very pretty. Christian is a force ... and I think of all the past winners he is one we will see the most of in the fashion world. I love that he goes for high fashion and not more ready to wear stuff. I didn't like Rami's designs. Those weaves did not impress me. Did the judges not watch PR Canada? The weaves were really big there... nothing new. Those colors were awful and I thought that other than the evening dresses the rest looked matronly and simply fugly. Does anyone else feel cheated that they didnt get to see Chris' complete line? Are there pics of it somewhere online?

Thanks Snidget for the links.... I was underwhelmed by both Sweet P and Chris' full lines. They picked the best 3 to show.

the complete lines WERE on youTube, but I don't know if they still are. I think they were yanked a few weeks back.Chris's complete line was not nearly as strong as his three looks, if memory serves me correctly. He had some real high points, but there were some really befuddling choices as well--and more hair. I thought Chris's cream/black dress was one of the best of the collections, save the hair on the end. The hair just killed it for me. I thought Rami's colors were unattractive as well.  Kimmah Says
--Christian's work is beyond fierce.

Project Runway jumped the shark last night by giving the win to Christian's over-the-top three Musketeers line.
Oh, not at all. Far from it in fact, though I do love your description as his "Three Musteteers line." *snort* That's perfect. I still laugh at those outfits.
They HAD to give it to Christian. He personifies what fashion week is all about. 
Tribe rocked my sig!

I thought it turned out as it should have---I saw the pictures of the shows during Fashion Week and I thought Jillian's looked the most wearable (except that her skirts are far too short for most women), but she made some weird choices with the holes, etc.Then, last night during the show, I thought Christian blew them both out of the water. His collection looked like a collection. I'd liked to have seen him use some grey or taupe in with the black in the beginning, but there was definitely a cohesiveness that the other collections lacked. J and R should be thankful that Christian went last---following him would have been tough. Individually-- Jillian--all over the place look and colorwise. I still think the skirts were too short. The gold dress made a MODEL look like she had chunky thighs--imagine what a 'normal' woman would have looked like in it? The weird holes really threw me, too. She is also far too meek and mild and just stilted for me personally. Her curtsy made me want to pinch her. Oh, and yanking up her strapless dress? Not very professional. Rami--some truly magnificent pieces, yes, but then there was the ugly. Those short dresses were not pretty. Some of the pants made the models look hippy and the colors were atrocious, IMO. Just gross. The two evening gowns, though, should be snapped up in a minute by a famous person---Hillary Swank would look killer in that black number, yes? Angelina Jolie (post-preggo) in the gold? Swoon. Christian--yeah, it was over the top, but it looked professional and it looked like a fashion show. I liked that he took the skinny pant and played with the construction. I just wish it hadn't all be black/black. The huge ruff was a low point for me, but I actually liked the ruffled jacket (why, I cannot say) and his dresses at the end were showstoppers. He will definitely be more haute couture than the others, but there women who buy that sort of thing--hence Posh's love affair with his collection--and that's part of the fashion world. Every designer isn't going to be Michael Kors with clothes at Macy's and TJ Maxx...that's okay. When's the last time John Galliano had a dress on the clearance rack at Belk? I was really, really happy with the ending this time. I could have been happy with a Rami win, too, but Christian's win just felt RIGHT to me. And I was glad to see him lose some of that bravado and be more vulnerable. I think we'll see more of Christian and Rami than any designers from previous seasons.
frodah's game:
Wear: Christian's black wide leg trousers (I think they were black?) with the tan top. LOVED that look. I would never be able to afford it, of course. Torch--Jillian's short gold dress w/knife pleats that made her model look like a squatty lineback in gold foil. Close second, Rami's 'plain' gold gown that had weird bunchy fabric on the model's thigh and was almost impossible for her to walk gracefully in. Frame: tie--Christian's feather gown and Rami's gold woven gown. Both were works of art. Kimmah Says
--bring on Top Chef!

Disappointed...A. Chris didn't make it, but he really shouldn't have since he had been auf'd already once.
B. The show is over.
C. The winner was predictable.
D. Christian won, and his over exaggerated opinion of himself came rushing back.
E. That was the final episode...but luckily Top Chef will be back.

Chritian was fantabulistic. His collection was absolutely wonderful. I too was sorry it was so black. I would have liked to have seen more color, but it was amazing.Jillian is very very talented. I can see her being a great women's wear designer. I could see a lot of her line in Nordstrom's, Macy's etc. She jusr needs to develop some self confindence! My god! The back and forth, on the fence, I am not sure about the models ACK! I would have slapped her. She is in desperate need of an assistant to channel her creativity. Rami is also quite amazing, his draping, attention to detail, his fit all wonderful. I think we will find out he is colorblind afterall, and used a dart board design o wheel to pick his fabrics.   
Excellent siggy by JSlice, Worm by the Fab IceCat And Icey bounced me! Yippee!!

Chris, are you there?I thought Christian's designs were a knockoff of yours. Putting the tight jeans aside, I thought they were your designs walking down the runway. From the "elaborate" hats to the "costumey" gowns, all very “Chris” inspired.
