“Portland really accepts being an individual, and you need that as a designer,” says Franklin. So what makes us so special? If you listen to Runway star Tim Gunn (and you should), it’s our “high cultural intellectual base.” If you listen to the designers who have appeared on the show (and we do), it’s our independent pioneer spirit. (She was in the final round of Season 11 as this issue went to press.) We’ve also had the most winners, including New York and LA: three, maybe four if this season’s Michelle Lesniak Franklin claims the crown. Our little burg has had more designers-seven*-appear on the show than any other city (except New York and LA, but we don’t really count them). The producers of reality-TV hit Project Runway might consider renaming the Emmy-winning show Project PDX. So I don’t think that the issue is that he needed more direction or tighter reins, I think he just needed more time for such an ambitious concept.Image: Leanne Marshall, Courtesy NBC Universal, All Others Courtesy Lifetime Networks His other collections, done outside of the show, have been fantastic. It was more ambitious, more meaningful, and more political, and it needed time to be properly developed. I think that is the only reason he was not able to present as cohesive a collection as Uli did. Emilio’s theme, on the other hand, was something which needed more time. Especially considering that it continued what she had been doing on the show all season. Winter Wonderland, I think, is a concept that many talented designers would be able to execute in a short amount of time – not in the same way that Uli did, and certainly many would not have been as imaginative as she was, but it was in many respects an easy theme. While Uli did do an AMAZING job, I would also argue that her theme was less expansive and less ambitious than Emilio’s. I think it’s important to remember that the designers were given four days to come up with a theme, shop, and execute. I agree with a lot of what you two are saying, but I disagree about Emilio needing direction and a strict concept. They are on budget and also, faux fur is a trend Georgina! ¬¬ – That’s all 😀 (I tried not to rant that much with the winner who can sew and design far more simple color blocks than Mila Hermanovski’s faboluous pieces). Her faux fur, did not made it look cheap. It was blasfemous (for me) she was on third place. The styling, even the way the models projected the clothing. You could tell her collection had much more work than the winners. I see a better future for him in selling red-carpet-ready dresses than casual ready-to-wear : ). Because they have restraints and kind off a theme. I think he may be a great custome designer and that is why he always nails the challenges. I’ve been doing this since season 14, when I realized it might confuse people not to be consistent. So, for example, the picture with the hot pink bikini is Emilio and the Hershey kiss looking thing is Seth. But for me, when he has that freedom of showing his work (without the shows direction on theme let’s say) he loses that magic thing. The winner (in this case Seth Aaron) is always on the left, and the runner up (Emilio) is always on the right. The sketches were really good and I like his red jumpsuit and his final piece. I have to say I did not love the clothing. I have to say, I loved Emilio’s words – about his collection – like, all that theory and concept. I truly could not believe Uli was in third place. Guest Judges: The fabulous Liv Tyler, and Margherita Missoni, who I basically fell in love with as soon as she started speaking. (Not sorry in terms of the fashion, but sorry in terms of the ending being a total DUH since the season premiered.)
#PROJECT RUNWAY SEASON 7 RRUNNER UP SHOULD HAVE BEEN WINNER CRACK#
(You know the judges have been hitting the crack pipe too hard when JOSHUA is the most sane person in the room.) Anyway, Kayne ended up being AR’s assistant, Emilio chose Althea, and Uli chose Casanova, which was a wonderful choice if only because it brought some desperately needed silliness to this sorry excuse for a finale. He knew he was too burnt out to do his best work for Anthony, and I actually respected that.
Anthony Ryan tried to choose Joshua, who actually refused, which I found stupid until I learned Joshua had only been eliminated five hours before. The Challenge: In five days, and with the help of a previously eliminated designer, create a mini-collection with a budget of $3,000. Well, we can always count on Project Runway to be predictable.
