This post is full of spoilers, if you have yet to watch the episode then stop reading right now! So last night was the season finale of Project Runway and...it sucked! The final 3 contestants were Andy, Gretchen, and Mondo (you can watch the final episode here) and of those 3 my least favorite contestant was Gretchen basically because she thought very highly of herself from day one & I found that very unlikeable. Gretchen was a decent designer but many of her challenge looks were just plain old lady or boring & honestly the final line wasn't much different. Well no, the final line was more modern but still boring in my opinion. Her clothes looked like clothes I could go to Kohl's and buy today & that my friend, does not a fashion show make. She used the same material in all of her looks; the whole collection was brown satiny patterned clothes with dark green leather trim so even if the prints were different they all still looked the same.
Andy's collection was pretty & gray. It was obvious as soon as Andy's show was over that he was out...the construction & the fabric were both beautiful but aside from a few green accent items the entire collection was dove gray. Personally I feel that gray is the new black & seems to be a color I purchase often but I wouldn't want a gray closet.
Mondo's collection was my favorite! Talk about a designer, he had all kinds of looks, his clothes were quirky & colorful & fun not to mention impeccably sewn. I did agree (with Nina) that his line looked a little childlike but that was what I really enjoyed about it...it didn't take itself too seriously & so many of the pieces could be bought & paired with clothes from your closet to spice things up. Gretchen was the exact opposite...no matter what you paired her stuff with it would still be boring clothes that every random gal could get her hands on at Target or Sears which is fine but top designers are supposed to create fashion for their fashion shows! Anyway, the basis of Mondo's line was black & white but he had hot pink, neon blue, brown, yellow...etc. accents throughout & so many pieces that I wanted. Michael Kors complained about the high waisted plaid pants but I thought they were great because I'm 5 feet tall & those pants made that model look 10 feet tall so I might actually look 5'5" in them. The one thing I didn't get was how much everyone loved the clown t-shirt because it looked like something you pick up at a flea market or something your cooky aunt would get you for Christmas that you would later use as a rag.
One question...what was up with Jessica Simpson's mouth? She was talking like she had a d**k in it!
