Of all the things going on in the world today, the one thing I want to write about... or complain about, rather... is Project Runway.
While I cannot say that I've been watching from the very first season (I didn't have cable television then) I can say that I have eagerly watched the last two seasons. Last season was fine and dandy... or Fierce, as the winner would say. But this year? Boy was I bummed.
Don't get me wrong. The actual season was great. The people who should have been eliminated, were eliminated... up until the final winner.
Yes, they were all great designers. Yes, Kenley's attitude did need an adjustment. Though I'm pretty sure that after she watches herself on tv (and she will), she will realize how awful she sounded and hopefully will start acting less obnoxious.
My top two favorites throughout the show were Kenley and Jerell. I know, Kenley had one main focus of design, but at least she knew what she liked. And Jerell, he just did phenominal design work... up until the end. I agree that his designs were way overworked. It was all just too much for the eyes to look at all at once. So when he was eliminated, it was down to Kenley, Korto, and the other girl. Oh that's right. The winner. What was her name again? Seriously. If anyone should have won based on the new designs, it was Korto. She did an A-Mazing job. I would have worn everything she designed (minus the mini dresses, but that's just because I don't have the body for em. It's not because I didn't love them. ) Kenley had some neat looking items, but if you really want to be in the fashion industry, you need to be aware of top designers and what they've already created so that you don't completely copy the styles.
Yes. I honestly think Korto should have won. But no. The judges, for some unknown and stupid reason, chose that one girl. What was her name again? The one inspired by the water. You're telling me that famous stars all across the world would rather dress up in her clothes than Korto's? Give me a freakin break. I don't think so!
Okay, okay. So Leanne did have talent. I'm not going to completely bag on her. She did have the skill. But seriously... half of her stuff was so boring! And again... all those flappy wavy pieces in her collection? No. I'm still a believer that Korto should have one. And I'm pretty sure that if Jennifer Lopez WAS the guest judge, she would have agreed, if anything, that Leanne should not be the winner. She would have been saying the same thing again... what was her name?
