"PR7 at Fashion Week" |
10 designers showed at Fashion Week. TEN! Needless to say, most of the collections were lousy.What did we learn? First, since there are 11 left, and all but Maya showed, she must be the next one out. After her butt-ugly dress this week, it seems like a good idea. Guest judge was Faith Hill, for unknown reasons. Here's the WaPo slide show: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2010/02/14/GA2010021402681.html Based on the collections, the NY Post picks the final four as Amy, Mila, Seth Aaron and Anthony. http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/fashion/fashion_week/project_runway_6spK2a6Tk8eyOZvXP6mJhJ And here's a paragraph on each collection from a diffewrent Post writer, who picks the final four as Mila (winner), Seth Aaron, Jay and Jesse.: http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/guessing_who_will_be_een_the_final_GskdwafbS8qmyZ4UVVAlIL Personally, I think Amy has to make the final 3, so by consensus, I'll go with Mila, Seth Aaron and Amy. Anthony will not be there.

Unlike most of the current designers, Christian has real talent. With Lee McQueen's death, Christian is in a position to become a major superstar.

Fascinating. Amy's models wore sneakers? Maybe she wasn't a finalist. Her fourth look (the baby-doll) was pathetic, and her ninth look (the beige dress) was bland. But her first look got all the attention.Mila was clearly a finalist and opted for the Christian-Irina B&W color scheme. Her stuff actually looks like a collection. No wonder people are picking her as the winner; it's really nice. Seth Aaron's fifth look reminds me of a garbage bag. And where did the yellow come from? Or the dark blue in the last look? He should have closed with the ninth look: that's a nice coat. Interestingly, all of his models are wearing some sort of gloves except the last one. Why? Janeane's collection is pathetic. She must be 10th. Ben's models look like space aliens. He should stick to costumes. Jonathan likes to exaggerate hips. Not a good look. Anthony's clothes look nice, but pretty simple. Where are the accessories? Maybe Jesse is a finalist. At least he accessorized to some extent.

I know they do it to avoid spoilers.But if the alleged real value of this competition is exposure and creating and showing their collection at NY Fashion Week, then having 10 designers show there is just silly. We've seen more, and more, and more designers showing at Fashion Week each season. I know, part of it is also the Bravo-Lifetime fiasco and their timing and planning being off. Yeah, yeah. I'm assuming they all got a bundle of cash to create their fashion week look, otherwise what would the incentive be to the 7 designers who aren't really top 3? So they get to create a collection on Project Runway's dime (I'm assuming this) and they get to show it at NY Fashion week. While I'm sure that they all want to be the winner of Project Runway and get the big cash prize, it seems that they've come out ahead anyway.

I was thinking the also rans get enough budget anyone should be able to do a good job, but maybe the top 3 get enough that they can do a bit more than just the basics of a good show.I don't think anyone would go on if they had to self fund the show (although they might) or if you didn't get enough that would make things a lot easier. I wasn't thinking they cast more industry people just because they can put them in fashion week, but that there may be people who have had a few breaks might be more likely to try out if they have a good chance of getting more than they put in. That a lot of the also rans get to show just to avoid the spoilers may be enough to make taking time off to do the show more worthwhile for more people. (bigger carrot to share vs you have to really be the last one standing to get any benefit). I would think that 1/3 or 1/2 of the cast gets to show makes it more appealing than 2-3 people max get to show. I think having a mix of people is usually what makes any show work and if it were all people just out of design school who haven't landed a job, yet, or people who are self taught but can't manage to get past the hobby stage it just wouldn't be the same. With enough of a carrot you may find enough people who own a shop, have a line, work for a major house to balance out people who haven't figured out how to earn a living, yet.

Well, we all know that Jeaneanne got booted last night, so she is NOT going to be showing at fashion week, courtesty of PR, anyway....so what is that about? I dunno, as usual.IMHO, Seth is definitely in this to win, as proven by his skills at not only runway models, but his adorable little mini-model last night. He has vision, style, and finesse. Love him. And I'm also glad we're finally seeing some personalities from these people after, what 4 weeks? For all this time, I was beginning to think that Anthony was the only one who even knew how to communicate with anyone! At least last night one of the guys (can't remember which) was imitating Michael in a humorous way) and there were quirks and remarks to and about each other. Finally, we're seeing the lighter side of these people, and maybe we can start endearing ourselves to some personalities. Mila? Nah. She's the Katherine Bennett of PR to me, even though she 'thinks' she's in the now-I just don't see it. Anyway...other than those hideous pedal-like pedal pushers, and the pedal'd filled pedal'd dresses, I thought everything turned out pretty good, actually. Got a kick out of the cute little 'forms' that they all had to work off of! All in all, it was a rather fun, and original episode, for a change! Did anyone notice that Tim had little to nothing to do with the kids??

10. "RE: PR7 at Fashion Week + E6" |
Of course Janeane showed at Fashion Week, courtesy of PR. We've seen her collection (linked earlier in this thread). It just won't appear on the TV show.Basically, in every season except season 6, more than the final 3 have shown. In seasons 1-3 and 5, four showed. In season 4, five showed. I still think that may have been motivated by how good the season 4 designers were (Christian, Rami, Jillian, Chris, Sweet P). But 10? These people just aren't that good. It's one thing for Irina and Carol Hannah to do a show at Fashion Week, as each did this year, capitalizing on their success. It's quite another thing to see a "collection" by Janeane. Ouch. Most of the clothes this week were hideous again. Seth Aaron was far and away the best. I was impressed with Jesse for the first time. I liked Amy's colors, unlike the guest judge, but I wasn't thrilled with her construction. Jonathan's design was awful. But Janeane's was worse. I liked Mila's kids dress, but it paired poorly with her adult dress. Anthony and Emilio were OK but nothing special. Maya's deserved a bottom-three spot. Don't know how it missed. Similarly, I don't know how Jay made the top three.
