Project Runway Three's a Crowd

Congrats to Project Runway 7 Winner Seth Aaron Henderson! While I was unsure of the final three chosen to go, once I saw the final runway show-I was just as pleasantly surprised as the judges. The three finalists Seth, Emilio Sosa, and Mila Hermanovski pulled out all the stops on the runway. I enjoyed all of their collections.

I would wear all of them--but I loved Mila's styling and comfy knits and rocker chic the most! Those leggings were awesome!
Emilio's feminine pieces were amazing but his ego and eye rolling during judging made me dislike him so much I don't care what he put down the runway I didn't want him winning. Get over yourself and your ESOSA brand. Humble yourself please--no one knew who you were before this show remember that!
Seth Aaron I have always admired through out the competition and while his stuff is a different aesthetic than what I would wear it was perfect for editorial, ahead of the curve, and the majority of it was wearable.
What did you guys think of this season? Who was your favorite? I can't wait for the next season!

Project Runway Three's a Crowd

Are you all excited for Project runway tonight? It is down to the final three and it is all
women! Irina Shabayeva, Althea Harper, and Carol Hanna Whitfield.

I am secretly rooting for Irina. I know she isn't everyones or anyones favorite because shes the "bitch" but I fell in love with her after the Newspaper and the Michael Kors challenge! Irina design aesthetic
appeals to me because she is always mentioning a high class young woman sipping champagne! Sounds right up my fashion alley! Plus I just adore her model Kayln. I think she absolutely beautiful and she is the
nicer one of the models. (I am so glad Katy left she was driving me nuts--get over the double sided tape!) For me Irina's collection would be something I would actually
buy, but I can see her 'tude making her seem like she may be difficult to work with in the future. But I can't help it I always love the sassy "bitchy" girls :)












My second pick would be Althea. I really liked
her dress she designed for
Christina Aguilera with the black fur cropped jacket. Although the judges didn't like her piece inspired by the Getty Museum I thought it was gorgeous and I love the silhouettes she creates with her designs. I feel like all women of different shapes and sizes could wear and enjoy her clothes. Her model Tanisha is FIERCE! She really knows how to work the catwalk and honestly Althea should be thanking her for making her clothes look impeccable and sexy!


As for Carol Hannah-she is hit or miss for me. She hasn't really made anything that has necessarily wowed me. I did like her Christina dress but I don't feel like she takes any chances or puts heavy thought and creativity into what she makes. I think she is the public's favorite though because of her cute personality.Who do you guys think is going to win? What do you think of the show being on Lifetime and located in LA? As much as LA
has a special place in my heart I feel the
the show belongs in NY and we need more Michael and Nina! Watch tonight on Lifetime @10pm/9pm central.

project runway shoe-in


So I have been dying to write about last night's Project Runway finale. Well as happy as I am that it was three women in the final deep down I couldn't help but cringe at the fact that snot nosed Kenley was allowed to make it to the tent.  Even though I knew that Leanne was going to win I was still in suspense because you never know what crazy thoughts those judges are going to have. To give Kenley some credit I thought some of her pieces were amazing works of art playing on a fantasy theme, I loved the contrast between her choice in the harsh black rope against the whimsical flower fabric.  However the fact that she was "insulted" that the judges compare her works to that of Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, ect. is she insane? She DOES need to do her research the fact that her reply was, "I don't look at other designers" what on earth is she doing in attempting to be one? It just made me sick at how ignorant she was and her snotty ungrateful attitude did her in and how classless running backstage in front of the other contestants' parents, "This is bullsh--" umm Kenley please get over yourself, take a lesson in some professional etiquette, and read up on your fashion 411 thank you.  As for Korto love the girl for creating such amazing silhouettes with her play on the a-symmetrical dresses and halters.  Any woman would die to wear those and would look amazing agreeing with the judges, she knows what a woman wants.  The first look was my favorite with the play on peacock colors and it was just breathtakingly elegant.  But I'm sorry Leanne's collection literally left me gasping for air.  Every single look I would wear hands down!  I loved how her models looked like little Tiffany's boxes!  If I had to pick a favorite...it would be the first look with tea dyed volume top and high waisted petal mini. I loved how all of her models wore chunky nude pumps just the whole collection was amazing. I immediately wanted to jump on bluefly.com and buy all of it!  Her looks were all cohesive, modern, and elegant at the same time.  She was consistent through out the competition and has a true appreciate passion for designing (not that Korto doesn't but I can't say the same for Miss Snot and half Kenley...) either way the show was hot and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.  Plus I love that cute little Tia won the spread in Elle! I am so happy for Leanne and can't wait to see what she has in store for us!
