Project Runway Finale!

So yet again I'm disappointed in a finale.  Irina won Season 6 of Project Runway which was aired this season on Lifetime after spending the first five seasons on Bravo!  While I was happy that the show didn't change after switching networks there was one designer that had a really shitty attitude, was always bitching about everyone else & going on and on about how awesome she was & not in a cute way (like Christian Syriano) and that designer was Irina.  I do give the girl credit, she's a great designer but I was not very impressed with her entirely black & gray collection or her 13th look which is pictured left.  One thing

I will say though is that her model Kaylen was my favorite of all of the models so I'm happy that she won.

The other 2 designers in the competition were Althea & Carol Hannah & I really enjoyed both of their collections though I was really rooting for Althea.  I think that had she created a couple "red carpet" type looks then she may have won but with her collection being mostly knits & sportswear & separates her show catered to the general public & that's not the point of a fashion show unfortunately.  The look that Althea is working on to the right was one of my favorites in the show, I really enjoyed the way that it was cut & flowy & tailored at the same time.  Being a short girl I always lean more toward the short skirts & things that would compliment me & I think this dress would be flattering on most anyone.  I also really liked the blue knit cardigan that was structured with the big shoulders...I couldn't pull it off but I still enjoyed it.  So up next was Carol Hannah & I liked her collection but do agree with the judges that there didn't seem to be a common thread with the collection, it was more like a walking closet in my opinion.   Carol Hannah is a wonderful designer & she does amazing tailoring & makes beautiful

dresses & gowns but she doesn't really do much in the way of pants & for a competition like this you really need to pull out all the stops.  She did have a couple pairs of pants but it was mostly dresses & gowns though I will totally commend her on her choice of colors because Althea used all neutrals & then Irina used all black & Gray so it was nice to see Carol Hannah's models coming out in teal & maroon & I will say that her first dress (pictured left) was so effing cute & again, it's short but due to the draping on the bottom it would make my ass look way too big to wear it but it's still super adorable.

So my other complaint about the show as a whole is that Michael Kors & Nina Garcia were hardly ever there to judge so how can they be there in the finale to judge these collections & act like they've watched these girls grow when in fact they have hardly been around at all.  One more thing...the funniest thing about this episode was the guest judge Suzy Menkes & her "Something About Mary" hairstyle & noticeable mustache, how can someone who looks like this be a judge of anything related to fashion?

If you are afraid that you are going to go through Runway withdrawals don't worry, the new season is starting on January 17th!!
