I don't think the point of this challenge was necessarily to make something wearable. But this might have been a better challenge if It was avant garde. It was too easy to go costume, like they did.
It seems almost every season the designers drop the ball on the final challenge. The most talented designers of previous seasons didn't do too great right before BP.
I did not like emilios dress at all and was not thrilled with the rest of the designers either. It seems like Maya would have been a contender had she remained, cuz the rest underwhelmed.
How can we get the producers of this show to actually show the clothes and quit cutting over to the face of the judges. It's pretty aggravating. It'd be nice even if they put extended runway shows on the DVD sets.
Looking forward to Thursday! Still love the creative process that happens.

Well I don't consider myself a collector, yet here I have 5. Crazy! I have my new Janome, my huskylock serger, my kenmore that I got from my mom when I got married, and an old singer treadle. I gave my moms old machine (new home) to my daughter in law.

I love the creative process of the show. I am an art teacher, sewer, artist and gardener and I love watching the challenge percolate in the mind and see what comes of it. I believe the runway is waaaaay too short, it is so hard to see the finished product, not to mention check out the shoes, hair and makeup. I have noticed color issues before on episodes of the past, I wonder if the runway lights are heavily blue and washed out some of the blue in Irina's dress. I see they are casting for the next project runway, so maybe there is hope for them to move back to New York. Then Michael and Nina can always be on the show.... love them!
