Fab Girl Style

In 4 days the Season 10 finale premiers! This season has been a roller coaster of  drama, (Hello, Elena and Dmitry!) emotions, and fabulous fashion. Here’s what I think of each designer and their strengths and weaknesses, plus my views on some of the crazier challenges and eliminations.

• Melissa will have a really hard time in the finale making a collection. Even though she has shown more range in the last couple challenges, I still don’t think she feels totally comfortable doing color. But if she can use colors and prints and still work with her aesthetic, then she might be able to make it happen.
• I think the final two will be Christopher and Dmitry. The idea behind Christopher’s dress in the Rockettes challenge was genius, but the skirt had no movement and the fabric behind the skyline should have been navy blue or black. There’s no way you could have known that was the NYC skyline from afar! But the judges loved it, and it won. I really loved his outfit for the baby challenge, though, and the judges agreed.
• I love Dmitry! Now that he’s stopped making those dresses, I think he’ll be the winner. Dmitry’s Rockettes dress was amazing and completely original. I still think it should have won. I originally thought it would come down to him and Ven, but Ven got eliminated right before Fashion Week.
• My favorite challenge was the the L’Oreal Paris makeup challenge.  I loved seeing  the different designers work in their own design philosophies with the muses they were given.
• I really think it’s ironic that during the avant-garde challenge, they make these ready-to-wear dresses, and when they are doing an actual  challenge they make looks nobody would ever wear.
• Ven has been (and to be honest still is), my favorite designer of the season but I totally lost every ounce of respect I had for him as a person in the make-over-my-friend challenge. He said his client had “no shape” and totally trashed her. And the worst part is, when the friend stood up for the poor girl, Ven justified every word of it! That might have been elaborated a little by the Project Runway producers, but still!
• I can’t believe Andrea and Kooan  just walked away from this amazing  opportunity that they had! They could have had their big break on this show, and now they’re infamous for leaving something a million designers would have killed for.
• Oh. My Gosh. Elena had such a stereotypical fashion personality! It’s like she hated everything. And she always had the worst things to say. If you don’t like something, the polite thing to say is, “I’m not crazy about it” or”I don’t love it”. Not the trash that she always said!  But then her mom came on to see her, and it was like a light switch. She wasn’t mean to anyone throughout the whole show. Maybe she was just homesick or stressed. I can’t blame her!

Needless to say, Project Runway Season 10 was one of the craziest yet!
