Project Runway: The Road To the Finale

Not too much went down on Project Runway tonight.  As usual, Tim Gunn went to visit all of the designers at home as they worked on their collections for fashion week and gave them compliments along with criticism. It seems that all of them did some editing to their collections after his visit!  I mean, how ugly were those feather pants that Christian was working on? Yuck.  It was like a birdman costume.

The most important part of the show was the walk off between Chris and Rami.  They both showed three pieces from their collection to the judges…

Two strong looks from Rami.  That black dress is just so meticulous, red carpet worthy, and absolutely STUNNING.  And the short dress is unique but wearable for just about any woman.  But the first piece, the coat, on the other hand, was just ridiculous.  It was huge! No one would wear that.  Now shrink it by about 25% and we might have something.

 And then there was Chris, who had one strong piece (if I have to pick any) which would be the last one.  The safety pins really did look nice and I actually like that he used human hair.  What’s the big deal?  We wear it on our heads anyways.  But overall his collection sort of looks Morticia Adams did  a higher end line for Hot Topic.  It’s just way too morbid.

I know a LOT of fans are probably disappointed seeing Chris shut out of fashion week, but thank goodness the judges have better taste.  I think these two collections ultimately showed why Rami is a MUCH better designer than Chris; he can take more avante garde details and make them wearable, and that’s not something Chris has learned to do yet.

To be honest, I think this walk off was done for two reasons.

1. To add another element/extra drama to the show.
2. To give Rami another shot without looking biased.

Well, that’s all pretty much a given, isn’t it?

Next week, the big finale!   And be sure to check out the Sew Not Over Challenge on BravoTV.com.  I’m thinking Jillian is gonna win it.
