Fashion / TV Project Runway Wrap Up!
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 11:39 AM
AGHHH! I'm still recovering from the headache induced by trying to wrap my head around last night's designer challenge: The five remaining designers all had to design getups for each other, so everyone was both designing and modeling, and the outfits had to align with a musical-genre theme, like "country" or "hiphop," making it near-impossible to keep track of who was designing what for who without the aid of a spreadsheet. And the worst part is that one of these three people had to be sent home dressed like this:
Find out who after the break!
Poor Suede:
Suede designed a rock 'n' roll look for Jerell, but he ended up making something that Jerell would just wear normally, only with bad shoes:
Adding more insult to injury, the "punk" look Suede wore for his auf'ing was designed by Korto, who won the dang challenge--OUCH. Speaking of ouch, let's talk about Leanne here:
Blabbermouth Kenley was charged with dressing Leanne according to a hiphop theme, and while I actually think she has a bit of a Lady Sovereign thing going on here, Leanne's interpretation of how to move on the runway did not go over well, as summarized in this wince-inducing bonus clip delicately titled "Borderline Idiot":
RRROWWWRRR! Now, if this was intentional sabotage, then bravo to Leanne for throwing herself in front of a bus like that (getting bagged on by guest judge LL Cool J has got to sting). Nonetheless, despite the controversy and the poorly made pants, Kenley managed to avoid being eliminated yet again. As for Leanne, her country-fied outfit for Korto was criticized for not being country enough, but basically she skated through okay:
Meanwhile, Kenley surprised everyone by actually looking kind of hot in the pop star outfit designed for her by Jerell:
Things are getting more exciting every week--stay tuned for next time, when the designers will design outfits inspired by nature. I bet Leanne hands everyone their asses.
