Artistic Vision

Art Education. Straight Up.

Project Runway

Ok, call us losers BUT, my wife and I tuned in last night to the near-season finale of Project Runway. (The show reminds me of the art-school atmosphere that I had a taste of during college.) I can’t say I was amazed at the outcome. I figured Sweet P was going to be eliminated. As they said on the show, she does good design and is very practical; she just doesn’t do Fashion (with the capital “F”). I would agree with that. I have to say I was surprised by them sticking with Rami. I thought they would have punished him for his play-it-safe-mentality regarding the draping. We’ll see what happens. I think they’ll all put together interesting collections. Jillian has surprised us. My wife isn’t a fan, but I think she has shown me that she can come up with compelling pieces. Although Chris played it safe, we both like what he’s done in the past and he’s seemed very consistent.

(And, yes, we think Christian is a drama queen and arrogant, but talent can do that to you. One can only hope he matures with age.)

Next week will be interesting. I’m not sure who I think will win. Should be a fun hour.

Of course their collections are already visible…

And Christian is just delish. He’ll grow up in time–but at his age, he needs the chutzpah. :)

Thanks for the link!

And, I think there is much in what you say regarding needing a lot chutzpah in the industry he’s looking to get into. Fashion seems like a cut-throat industry.
