leia131Project Runway Time! This post is a day late because I was too busy going to Pre-Cana all day yesterday.
This week's challenge was to create a look from 20 years in the future, somehow inspired by 20 years ago. This second part was mostly ignored, but they did show us pictures of all the designers (and Heidi and Tim) from 1994.
Top Looks
Emily:
It's a shame that the pictures don't show this with the cowl/hood thing on, because that was the best and most unique part. I'm pretty sure the only reason this didn't win was because the judges have seen so many jumpsuits before, even though this was a particularly good one.
Kristine:
The judges were all over this one, and again it's a shame that the pictures don't show her wearing the jacket. I love the jacket; it really brings the futuristic vibe to this look, and it's rather plain without it.
Guess who won again? Sandhya!
This look is out there, no doubt about it, and Queen Amidala wants her lip makeup back, but Sandhya's unique vision really resonates with the judges. She also made all those little metal details herself, and added pockets so the dress can be hiked up and the silhouette changed, and left any funky stuff off the butt area so a woman could wear that and still sit down. I'm biased, because I like Sandhya, but I appreciate all the thought she put into this. And every time she's left to work on her own, she wins!
Bottom Looks
Sean:
This look was compared to Mary Poppins, more than once, and that's definitely accurate. I like Sean, and this isn't as bad as the next two messes, but it's still pretty sad and blah. And the judges hated how wrinkled it looked.
Alexander:
In Alexander's defense, this is not what he was trying to design, and he threw this together in very little time when his original dress refused to work out. On the other hand, this is AWFUL. One of the other designers said that this looked like something a woman would find in a dumpster in a post-apocalyptic future, and he's not wrong. It's sad and ugly and burlap-y. Also, please observe the bottom, which looks like he hacked it off with a knife.
Angela:
Even though Alexander's look was horrible, the judges decided that this one was even more horrible and sent Angela home. It's poorly made, too short, crooked, and even the model's hair has given up. I don't necessarily think this was worse than Alexander's, but Angela has cried two or three times per episode, without fail, and I was SO DONE with her nonsense. She also kept saying that she had never been criticized like this before, and I think the judges sensed that she didn't have what it took for this competition and put her out of everyone's misery. (Also, whoever said this looks like a secretary who's been caught making out with the boss was spot on.)
