I know! They are at least - being positive while they're being loud.
Project Runway: reading Tom and Lorenzo's take on the final collections live vs tv was very interesting.
I don't understand why they are giving the designer's so much less time to do their collection. It's asking for mediocrity.
I think Christopher just lost it under pressure.

Yeah, I don't like that at all. The contrast between what they do in a rush during the season and what they do when they have time to think and plan is what has always made the final collection interesting to me. Without that, we get a lot of blah. A lot of those finale collections were showing us, as Nina used to say, just clothes.
they only had 5 weeks to do all of those looks! good grief.
they need to give them at least 8 weeks if not 10.
Lifetime is cutting the budget in areas that make for an inferior show.
I think it might be interesting (although like one of the failed imitators, right?) to have them use some of the stuff they did during the season in the final collection. You have to pick three, say, and develop the rest of a collection around that. At least it would be fewer things to design, if they aren't going to give them a real amount of time to do it.
Didn't they do that once? Or they had to use leftover fabric or something? Maybe that was just a regular challenge. Or maybe that was another show.
Could be interesting. And seeing stuff we've seen before might not be so annoying if we have literally seen that actual garment before.
Oh yeah, the leftover fabric was from the first All-Star season, I think.
And I can't believe they are going right into another All-Star season this week! I don't believe there are actually that many Stars.
Me neither. I certainly need a break, and none of the All Stars from the promos are making me want to watch, so I think I'll sit this one out.
I'll at least half-ass sitting it out -- not tape it, but possibly watch on-demand....
Hmph. Finally caught up on PR and I have to say I don't understand what the judges like. I thought Dmitry's collection was weird and awkward looking. Fabio's was far and away the best in terms of design whether or not I would personally wear any of the clothes. (Melissa's were the ones I wanted to wear, no surprise. Upscale Semi-Goth With High Collars is so very very much my comfort zone.)
But still, I thought Fabio should have won. Everyone else just made clothes. He put on a runway show.
I agree, Jessica.
