Last Wednesday was the finale of Project Runway. Two of my favorites from day one made it to Bryant Park: Leann and Korto. Kenley should have been gone awhile ago and not only because she was incredibly defensive and bitchy. If we played the Kenley drinking game this season we all would have been terribly wasted every Wednesday night. But her crappy attitude is besides the point!
Let’s talk Bryant Park – the line up was Kenly, Korto and rounding them up, Leann. Tim Gunn filled in as guest judge last minute for Jennifer Lopez, who pulled out because of a “foot injury” but still managed to compete in a triathalon two days later. Gunn makes it work far better than J-Lo anyway. Kenley realizes she probably should not have been such a raging bitch when she hears that news.
Kenley’s collection was fun. It was very Kenley. Her shapes and loud prints. She did have some major rip offs like this look from Balenciaga (photo from MyItThings) and her wedding dress looking a bit too similar to an Alexander McQueen. As a designer you should really pay attention to what else is going on in the fashion world. I mean, really! Major fashion designers would never be able to get away with “I don’t know” as a response to their piece looking like another designer’s! Either she is really clueless or knows exactly what they are talking about and straight up copied. I’m leaning toward the later. I find it hard to believe she just doesn’t know about what else other designers are doing. You can view all of Kenley’s collection here.
Everyone knows I have been pulling for Leanne since the beginning. I absolutely adored her collection. I loved it. From the choice of music down to the clothes. She has skirts, pants, dresses too so there was versatility. Her collection was structured yet fluid, literally had movement and very cohesive. I still cannot get over the wedding dress. I think it was amazing! All of Leanne’s collection can be be found here.
Korto’s collection was very solid. Vibrant bright colors and strong pieces. Some of them were a little too overworked though. She did have some really great looks though and for awhile I really thought it was a tossup between her and Leanne. You can check out Korto’s whole collection here.
In the end, Leanne came out victorious and rightly so!
