Project Runway EP 6: 

Children and Avant Garde.  AWESOME

-The designers are partnered with kid artists.  The designers are generally supper sweet with these high school kids.

-Some of these children’s art is really beautiful.

-Joshua M’s concept sounds intriguing.  And he wants to honor his mother, how sweet.

-I think Bert’s balloon pants will look silly whether he wants them to or not.

-ugh Bert, your outfit is worse than the sketch.

-I love Olvier, but he is struggling.  Ever since his panic attack on the track last week I’ve doubted his competitive edge.  This is a competition after all.

-Viktor’s student is so forward.  I would not be able to tell Tim why a dress is awesome.

_OH NO I thought Olivier was going to get kicked out for gluing his dress on his model.

-I love that Bert always styles his models the same.

RUNWAY

Kimberly”  I like this interpretation.  I think it’ll be save.

Becky:  I like this too.  I think it’ll be save.

Olivier:  This is weird.  I don’t like it.  It’s not enough.  It looks messy.  The painting was really beautiful.

Josh M.  I like this look a lot.  This looks real runway professional to me.

Bert: ECK!  This is horrible.  It reminds me of the jumpers my mom put me in during the 80s.

Viktor:  ok.  I like parts of this dress and others are ugly.  The painting was better.

Laura:  I’m not sure,  looks prom dressy to me.

Bryce.  Nope, nope nope.  .weird fit. Not working for me.

Josh C.  Not avant garde at all.  Just a weird leather dress with a blouse underneath.  He should be worried.

Anthony:  I like this.  It is a fairly literal representation of the painting but works for me.

Anya:  So how did she do this?!?!  I really like it!  This may be one of my favorites.  I love the cut, the color pallet, the silhouette.

JUDGING

Josh M:  Heidi likes this. All of the judges like this.  I couldn’t agree more!

Josh C:  Michael doesn’t think this Avant Garde and that’s what I was thinking.  The judges are being harsh.  Josh C is just such a nice guy.  But nice guys don’t always win.

Bert: They did not like this except Heidi.  Heidi likes that it’s literal, loud, and coo coo.  Everyone else thinks it’s too much.  That means he will not lose tonight.

Laura:  They didn’t see the interpretation until she explained it.  I think it is a beautiful interpretation and not too literal.

Olivier:  Heidi thinks it is sad.  Totally agree.  They think it is boring. They like part of it.  They like the construction.  I think he is safe.

Anthony:  Heidi loves this dress.  Michael likes it.  The guest judge, thinks it is a little home made.

Anthony Ryan is the WINNER!  He may have been my 3^rd or 4^th for tonight pick but in general I do like his work.

Josh C is out…again.  I’m not surprised.  I just like his personality.

EP 05:  Off the Track

-Cecilia is a big baby.  I hope this is her week to go.

-Ha, Bert doesn’t think he relates to any of the other designers.  At least he can see the obvious.

-Woah…Cecilia just QUIT!  Quitters are idiots.  Oh well she wasn’t very good anyway.

-Now everyone has to race to become team leaders one time around the track.

-OMG, did Olivier just pass out after tripping during the 200 meter race?  Oh the drama!  Oh it was just a panic attack!  I love Olivier…pull through buddy.

-Because Cecilia quit Victor got to pick someone to come back and he picked Josh C!  I liked Josh C he was the nice, family guy.

-I love that they are showing Tim’s more candid moments and not just his scripted moments.  I loved that when he was at mood reminding people of their time and budget he then added, “I’m such a nag.”

-Josh C. is back in the flesh and adorable.

-Josh C just saw Heidi come in and said, “Klum of doom!”  HAHAHA They are all afraid of her.

-Josh M made Becky cry.  He said her clothes were doughty.  I like Becky’s clothes they are vintage inspired.  Josh M is being a jerk and pushed her too far on purpose.  Well at least Josh M kind of apologized.

Runway!

Viktor:  I love the motorcycle jacket with the dress.  It looks great

Josh C:  This outfit is super casual.  It looks great with the shoes.  I love the shoulder detail.

Olivier:  I don’t like the long skirt.  Top is ok

(This is a cohesive collection)

Bryce:  The dress is cute.  It doesn’t go with sneakers though.

Kimberly.  I like this look.  It’s hard for me to see the detail.

Danielle:  She is the only one that had color, which is a shame.  It’s just ok

Anthony:  poor fit.  Camel toe

Laura:  Eh.  It does work with the shoes

Bert:  Doesn’t look good with shoes.  Eck

(This entire collection is lacking)

Josh M.  I like this look.

Becky:  I like the skirt with the pop of color.

Anya:  The stripe doesn’t flow well on the dress.  It looks bad with tennis shoes.

Overall this was a very disappointing challenge.

JUDGING:

Heidi says there is no clear winner or loser.  They have to talk to everyone!

Bert, Anthony and Laura are all fighting in front of the judges!  YIKES!  It’s not good to fight in front of judges.

Josh M, Becky, and Anya.  They liked Anya’s dress?  I don’t like it!   Nina liked Joshes and so did I.  They were not crazy about Becky’s.

Viktor, Josh C and Olivier.  They Like Viktor’s look.  They like some things from all the looks except Olivier’s “Farm” dress.

Bryce, Danielle and Kimberly.  UH oh Danielle made another slouchy color blouse.  The judges noticed how weird it is with just one piece with color.

Viktor is the WINNER!  He was the standout favorite.

Josh M.  is also the winner? Ok, why not!

Danielle is out!  I liked her.  I think she could have done a good few more episodes.

Episode 3:  All about Nina!

I love Nina, She reminds me of my mom.  If my parents dressed up for Halloween I would want my Dad to go as Michael Kors and my mom as Nina Garcia!

Yikes, Nina is specific.

Nina’s style is so sophisticated and polished, I think Anya will struggle.

I haven’t liked Julie from the beginning.  This may be her week to go.

Pressure is on Cecelia!  It might be fun to see her under pressure!  She is a whiner.

Uh oh Anthony and Becky have the same fabric!  Sounds like Anthony had it first.  Oh well.

I like Danielle, I hope she does ok, because her garment looks a little Wicked.

This might be the week that Anya’s true skills show through.  Yikes!

I love that Tim said, “Yikes!”  I say that!

I don’t know how I feel about people helping other people.  I kind of agree with Viktor.  This is an individual designer competition.

RUNWAY:

Anthony:  I don’t like the skirt at all.  I don’t like this look.  Boring.

Anya:  It looks like it needs to be pressed or something.  Is it just me or is that center seem a bad fit?!?  The idea is lovely.  The fabric did turn out well.

Becky: She won the fabric competition between her and Anthony.  I like this look.  I hope she doesn’t get knocked down a lot of points just because the fabric was used by two different people.  I like Becky.

Bert:  So simple.  Nothing exciting, boring.

Bryce: Yep that hem is bad.  The dress is nice other than that.  But I know from experience a bad hem is enough to get auffed.

Cecilia:  I think the idea is ok.  It looks sloppily made.

Danielle:  Eck.  This didn’t work out.  I like Danielle but this was a miss.  I hope she is safe because I like her.

Joshua M:  I don’t know how I feel about the apron front.  It is a fine look I don’t see Nina liking it.

Julie:  Yuck Yuck Yuck.  Horrible fit.  Needs pressing.  She just has bad taste.  That’s the bottom line

Kimberly:  I like this.  I think Nina could wear this and it works!

Laura:  This is lovely.  It is a little holiday green, but I like this a lot.

Olivier: Oh Oli, you are so cute.  I love this look!  It looks Nina-esque but still definitely Olivier!

Viktor:  I like this silhouette.  I think it works even though it is a boring black.

Judging:

Viktor:  They were nice to him and liked it.  I liked the skirt and top option.  You can’t even tell it is separates!

Julie:  They are being kind do this really ugly garment.  Thanks Michael, it is a sad housecoat!

Cecilia:  It’s just poorly made.  I agree with what they are saying.  I think Cecilia’s expression just looks like that, I don’t think she is unhappy.

Kimberly:  They love it, and so do I!  I can’t believe Laura thought it was in the bottom.  I like the Maria Clair Editor.

Anya:  They love it.  It does work for day to night

Danielle:  Pedestrian has never been such a horrible word.  Wow, She said Danielle would be depressed after this episode!  Eek.

WINNER!! Kimberly:  Well deserved!

Julie is out.  It was time.  These next few weeks will be to weed out the mediocre designers.

Episode 3: STILTS!

I like the idea of this challenge.  I’m a little worried that the designers will come up with great tops and lame pants.  We will see…

Ugh, I hate group episodes…it’s just an hour and a half of bickering and crying.

The models are fun girls.  They are more realistically shaped women too.

First day at Mood!

Julie is probably the most obnoxious contestant…I think this is her time to go based on personality alone (and probably style as well.)

Oh Bertie and Vik, you old married couple you.

A cage does not sound safe for a stilt walker.

Phew, did Bertie and Vik just silence Tim with their pettiness?  Just kidding just that “Lifetime” editing.

I like the big of the tutu on Fallene and Bryce.

“Off Grain” phrase of the night.  Even my husband can tell when something is off grain. (I did teach him how, but still)

Cecilia’s a Bword.

Bryce is so pessimistic.

Fallene, STOP BEING THE CRIER!  Get some self respect!

4:30am, that’s no joke.

Olivier and Anya are scaring me, they need to get more done!

Bryce is a control obsessed baby…and Fallene needs to grow a pair.

Not very many fans in the crowd…yikes.

RUNWAY:

Joshua and Julie : It looks too circusy and typical.   It’s not out of the box at all.  I’m not a fan.

Bert and Victor:  The model is good.  It looks okay.  I’m not super impressed yet.

Bryce and Fallene:  It looks horrible together. The top looks like she got it from a dance supply store.  The pants under the tutu are so unimaginative.

Beckie and Kimberly:  I like this look.  It is very much Beckie’s style.  The pants do look pretty great.

Anya and Olivier.  It is cool.  This seems more high fashion than the others.  Is it weird that I like this.

Cecilia and Danielle.  It looks so wearable.  The hair is weird I agree with the designers.

Anthony and Laura:  This does look the best so far.  Very dramatic.  I LOVE LOVE the top of this.  What a great team!  Looks good with stilts too!  This should be the winner.

Judging:

Anthony and Laura:  They were sweet and a great team, probably why they weren’t featured in this episode much.

Danielle and Cecilia:   “That Hair is CR-AZY”  I love you Michael.  The chiffon does look great.  It looks flawless.

Kimberly and Beckie:  It does look a little circusy, but I like the dark circus look they had going.  It looks like Beckie’s original designs.

Viktor and Bert:  I agree it looks like a bad costume. 

Fallene and Bryce:  Black swan… The model is laughing because she knows it looks bad!  Yikes.  They like the headpiece which is Fallene. But yet Fallene is responsible for the bad look?  I want Bryce to go home base on the designs but I know it won’t happen.

Joshua and Julie:  Bad design, bad taste.  But I’m glad they liked the execution.

LAURA IS THE WINNER!  She completely deserves it.  Good girl.

Fallene is out.  I think she is a spunky girl, but she was a bad designer.  She didn't have what it takes to last in a competition.  She needed a little more gull.
