Project runway spoilers- updated 6/13FINALE!

No he's not a designer, nor is he a stylist.
He worked at Parson's as the Dean of the fashion school and then took over as Chair. So I guess fashion design teacher would be an appropriate way to describe him. His main career was to mentor fashion designers and develop the curriculum at the fashion school.

I'll probably stick out this season, but I don't like any of it really.

Dapper Dan had me completely hating him at the mention of using fur as a luxury material.
That female judge looked like a reject from the 80s...how can someone who dresses like that judge fashion?

Christian's voice is really annoying. I don't doubt that he has talent but I don't think he has the personality (or voice) for TV. His snippets and insights were funny as a contestant but a little of him goes a long way.

As I said last week, they are obviously trying to attract a younger audience, and it feels young and cheap to me, so it will be my last season I think (unless they shake it up again and change hosts/judges/mentor for the next one).

I do not get the Hester love. Her personal style is awful. 
Either one of the bottom 2 could have gone home to me.

I made it to Tessa's store Wednesday-Idlewild Woman. It's in an up & coming neighborhood but my daughter said do not go down the side streets.
It was really expensive for even that neighborhood. there wasn't much of Tessa's that I saw. She sells other designers too. She was not there.

I agree. I honestly thought Hester shouldn't have even been in the top three. I liked the menswear looking design better. The other two were better and I loved Tessa’s. I understand why some of the judges were put off by the dominatrix theme of the one designer, but the design itself was beautiful. i was good with who went home.

Now for this week, I was disappointed in who went home. I thought her dress was beautiful. Although I’m not sure who should have went home. Oh Hester! I admire her going out on a limb since she had immunity, but yikes. The rest of the dress was actually beautiful and the pasty idea (though not my thing) could have worked but was poorly executed. Those weird little puckered tiny tents were just not good, nor were they flattering.

i really liked the plaid dress (great mentoring Christian!), but I thought the black and white dress should have won. It was beautiful. I almost felt like they gave it to him as sort of a pat on the back for not making another crappy design.

i have to say, the one male judge I really like. His reactions are great, no poker face from him! I also think Karlie is doing a really good job hosting. I think I’m enjoying this season more than most. I’m loving it.

Oh, and the whole plus-sized model comment from Tessa. I go back and forth at how I feel about Tessa, sometimes I like her and sometimes she annoys the hell out of me. Having said that, I actually felt sympathy over the plus-sized thing. All the designers clearly felt that way, otherwise the two plus-sized models would have been picked earlier, but they weren’t; they were left as dead last by everyone. She was just saying what the others clearly felt. I’ve seen some designers be really bitchy and nasty about model size, often right in front of the models, but I didn’t think that was what she did. There ARE challenges with the curvier models. The tall rail thin models are like beautiful coat hangers. You can put pretty much anything on them. It’s just an added challenge having a curvier model. I hope they don’t hold that comment against her.

No it is super expensive. I only saw 1 thing with her label and my daughter & I couldn’t decide what it was. Maybe a headband. All the pants were very wide legged- so much so when you picked them up they seemed like they could be a long skirt. Boxy crop tops.
My dd was shocked that the jewelry was just laying out for anyone to easily take.

Last night was ok. I didn’t love anyone’s look. The one that went home was bland but well made. This kind of clothing is her specialty so I expected better from her.
Tessa was getting hammered on Bravo’s Twitter. She tried to defend herself for a while. I haven’t looked today.

To be fair, I think they should cycle the models through the designers on a rotating schedule. That said, the guy with the curvy model made a gorgeous dress for her, so pretty.

There should have been an overturn of the immunity for Hester. That would have been well deserved - is she that good, she seems to have a holier than thou attitude.

Brandon and Christian are the best things about this reboot.

I think just because they liked his better than the other 3 they hated.

I'm sick of Tess and all her complaints - it's time for her to go!

I loved the top 2 - they did a great job. I could see Elton John wearing both of them, and I loved that the designer guy from the movie said he wished he could put those outfits in the movie. What a great tribute to those 2 designers!

I think Hester is about to be out of her league soon. I don't know why the judges like her so much.

In that case he should have been one of the middle 'safe' ones and maybe sebastian in the top 3. Hester's turkey outfit should have been bottom 3 but she had immunity so it would have been a waste of a bottom 3 spot. 

I hate Tessa. She reminds me of Gretchen. Full of excuses...

Sonja was a total bitch to Garo...

Holy crap! I loved Garo and Bishme...I also loved Jamal's..that was totally Elton..maybe not how he sewed it but definitely the colours and the styling.

Tessa's outfit was butt ugly,
Lela's was badly sewn and garish.
Venny's was a great concept but not executed well.

I'm loving Christian as mentor..he makes me smile,
Not loving Carlie Kloss but I do like Brandon.

What dress are you talking about? Worn by Lady Gaga in 2010? He is not credited with the design. Just curious. 

I really like how we can hear the judges commenting on the designs as they are coming down the runway. I don't remember it being that way with the old Project Runway.

Both Garo and Bishme's designs were Elton John worthy. I thought Jamal's was hideous and could not imagine Elton John wearing that.
I don't get the love for Hester. She's all over the place. One week at the top, one week at the bottom. I find her stuff bordering on tacky. I wonder what will happen now that she can't get immunity any more.
