Make it work! [Project Runway] - Page 4

I love the work that Kayne does. I like the layering to the fabrics. I didn't like the back of that dress, though. I felt that the right person won this week. I am also surprised that not much was said, or that what might have been said was edited out, about that Madonna monstrosity. That outfit was hideous. It probably doesn't help that I can't stand that particular designer.

I liked the Monroe dress done by Kayne, but I don't like him. There's something about him I do not care for at all. Just a quirk.

The Madonna dress was awful as were the Cher, Twiggy and Jackie O. The Hepburn was, like all of her work so far, beautiful. But I find her stuff too tailored and a bit dull. Works for her though.

Mousey Girl · 08-11-2006, 08:30 AM

I really like Robert, and am pulling for him. So far most of his stuff has left me underwhelmed.

Laura's stuff is just soooo not my thing. I think she has what it takes, but I agree, it is all just too tailored. I couldn't put my finger on what I didn't care for. Thank You SF, that was it.

I was pleased with who won and lost. It was amazing to see the difference between the 2. Both were pants, but 1 didn't give the model such a horrid camel toe that they could only show her from the waiste up.

How the hell did Vincent not get eliminated last night? That thing was a pile-of-crap monstrosity! Laura was right, the model couldn't even walk properly in it! Then Vincent kept saying how his crappy dress "got him off." That made me want to hurl. Dude, I don't want to know what gives you a hardon.

I will miss Alison. She was cute and had good energy.

Jeff sure is catty; his comments regarding Michael's outfit after he lost were just sour grapes.

I'm really liking Michael. He's staying out of the drama and focusing on making good outfits.

I am actually a Laura fan, although I probably could never wear her clothes. I'm not tall enough! She has awesome tailoring skills; I loved her coat that she made in the first challenge.

Prudence · 08-17-2006, 07:47 AM

Michael is a total shock to me. Because of his background, I didn't expect him to be as good as he is.

But I think something is seriously wrong with Vincent. His comments were totally creeping me out in a wacko sadist/misogynist way. I loved that Laura took him on at the end, even if Laura's own outfit was giving her pancake boobs.

Alex · 08-17-2006, 08:24 AM

I watch the show and enjoy everything up to the final eviction. As the credits note, the show's producers play a role in determing who stays and goes and it seems pretty obvious that they play a large role in making sure the people left keep the drama level high.

Snowflake · 08-18-2006, 07:41 PM

Finally caught up with everyone. Michael's was fine, except I hated the plastic "wrap" but I thought Jeffrey's dress should have won the day. Vincent should be gone, but you know they are keeping him for drama (call it the Season 1 Wendy Pepper syndrome, he even looks like her)

Laura did another really boring and predictable plain dress. Kayne was just a mess, I felt bad for him, especially when Tim came up to him an hour before the deadline.

Allison had misfortune, but I felt based on previous showings, she can design and Vincent shoul d have been the one to go.

Of course, Alex's post points out exactly that the producers have the final say and this is all about TV and not fashion. But, it is fun.

Not Afraid · 08-18-2006, 08:39 PM

I forgot to watch it - which is the way with me and TV. I'm sure I can see a re-reun at some point this week.

Drince88 · 08-20-2006, 08:32 AM

As much as I agree that the producers saved Vincent's backside on this one, Alison's model looked HORRID in that design - yes it's supposed to be 'high fashion' which has a specific body-type in mind, and her model doesn't fit that, but you can't make her look that wide and call it 'good'.

And for high fashion, it doesn't matter if you can walk! TOTALLY agree with Steph about Vincent's comments on his dress. Ewww.

I like Laura's stuff, generally - and if I ever got to my goal weight, I probably COULD wear it, but I really didn't like that the outfit she wore was so close (at least as far as 'neckline' goes) to what she designed. Ok, I couldn't wear that dress, gravity and that style don't go together unless you're willing to look like (as Prudence said) you have pancakes. (And then you have to have help from Mother Nature to make that happen!)

Stan4dSteph · 08-24-2006, 11:20 AM

So what did everyone think?

Robert's model looked so uncomfortable on the runway, although she said that she liked the dress. I agreed with the panel that he should have gone with something more interesting than black. He should have gotten a more interesting print fabric with black as the dominant color.

I loved Uli's outfit. She really has a great eye for getting just the right fabric.
