PROJECT RUNWAY 8/27 Spoilers possible

lulu2 — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 03:23:12 GMT

I was shocked with the winner and so were the other 2 contenders.

The right person went home. I sewed better on a dress I made in 6th grade home ec.

What a bunch of whiners.

I didn't understand how that hideous dress deserved to win. It wasn't just ugly, but very poorly made. I think Swapnil or Candace should have won. I didn't understand how that outfit won last week either. I did agree with who they sent home. I have never made anything in my life and I could have done better. That was terrible.

Compared to other years, this has been perhaps the most amateurish season. None of the contestants really impress me all that much. I feel like its less a professional competition show looking for someone to start their own clothing line as much as its reality show peek into a 3rd year dressmaking class at fashion school.

I am very dissapointed in the talent level this season.

That dress tonight was something a child could make.

I think they chose the wrong winner. the wings were lopsided and looked nuts being hung by the string in the back.

I don't remember her name, but I liked the one made by the girl who really likes to work with leather. She has the very dark Roman/Greek haircut with the bangs. Sharpe face. She does noce work and finishes it off so well each week.

@surfk, @hennypenny - I totally agree!! I thought this year's designers were to be "above" all other seasons - I'm not seeing that at all. There are a few that are really good, everyone else is just a fail. How did they even get on the show? That one sequined dress with the number on it was so short you could practically see her "belongings" - They probably gave Blake the win because he actually finished a dress - personally, I don't think he should have won, the dress was a hot mess. The other two designers are really way above everyone else - their garments look professional and well made.

The judges are always talking about 'taste levels' but the judges taste levels are questionable. I realize fashion is subjective and people such as Nina think we don't understand what is 'editorial' but we just might have more fashion sense than her and her fellow judges after watching them last night. Where's Kors when we need him? That winning dress looked like something was tied to her butt and it was not tasteful or editorial or even close to well made. I bet when it goes into the magazine it is remade. It was a mess.

I could have reached through the TV screen and kissed Zac Posen when he said the sewing was bad on Blake's dress . . . THANK YOU . . . and by the way, you guys do realize that is one ugly dress right? . . . really bad episode.

Wasn't that strange that Zac Posen pointed out the bad sewing yet Nina piped up she loved that he took a chance? Guess we know who rules the judges' table. I thought for sure the leather outfit would win.

I am so sick of those 2 girls in the bottom. Thank goodness one is gone. Any other season 2 or 3 of the safe outfits would have been in the bottom.

I believe the winner was chosen because it will be in MC and it was the only one with color. The other two were black and wouldn't be good when alongside cosmetics. The designers of the black ones knew it was meant to be in an ad or feature and should have taken that into consideration.

Was it last season the woman who made her own textiles and worked with feathers and had a very Navaho-type style won and the judges were all gaga over her stuff. It was only because it was original and something new that they hadn't seen.

Everyone is making pencil skirts and LBDs. It gets old for the judges. They are just happen sometimes to see something new come down the runway and try to encourage that by giving wins.

It's not always what's wearable or what looks the nicest.

I definitely got the impression they were giving Blake a pass on the poor construction because they thought his design was original. I didn't care for the shape at all. I didn't like all the volume or that stuff hanging in the back either.

I think the talent level has been down for a few years. The early seasons had some really great designers. Lately I don't think the talent level has been that great. How many great undiscovered designers can be out there anyway? I still like to watch because I love seeing what the designers do for the different challenges.

I think the judges have lost their minds. They used to choose the designers with the best construction, etc. The last couple of seasons have been hard to watch. I wonder what kool-aid they're drinking. What a disappointment.

I agree that outfit that won was horrible! It looked like a potato sack! I do not agree with the judges half the time!

That hideous frock was just like the ones Ricky Ricardo and Fred Mertz threw together for Lucy and Ethel when they were in Paris. Remember? Blake should have put a "feed bucket" over the model's head for a hat. The show has turned into a joke, most of these designers have no credibility whatsoever. Pitiful. And right now, the Westfield Mall here in San Francisco has a display of some casual clothes that one of the current guys (on this season) designed. Really nondescript, every piece is black, for men & women, not one thing I would buy. And it looks like no one is interested.

Truely disapointing episode.

This just not a very talented set of "designers" this time around.

I like Edmond - the guy that said this was his 14th time trying out for the show. Maybe that says something about the level of entries this time. Edmond did have a lovely dress in the greeting card challenge though.

The winning dress this episode was ridiculous.

Agreed!!! I watch PR to see the imaginative and artistic fashions that the designers create. Two weeks ago I could barely get myself to watch the show... and I don't even remember what was on this past week's show, and I almost couldn't care less.

I feel really let down by the overall poor quality of design this season.

ok, I'm remembering a few things. I really liked Candace's black vegan leather dress and I really like Candice. I had expected her to be snotty and aloof, but she's great. I also really like Swapnil.

I can't remember which dress "won" but I remember it was by that annoying twirp who always talks about how great his fashion design is. Pulleeze!! Don't remember the poor excuse for a dress. Probably blocked it out from my memory. But I do remember it was a disaster and I knew that it would be in the bottom three... and maybe get him kicked out.

How the heck did it win??!!!
