In a Project Runway first, fabulous mentor Tim Gunn was chosen to be the guest judge for the season's Bryant Park finale (cause who really needs J.Lo anyway? And foot injury...?) Kenley's basically screwed since she's been a complete bitch to Tim since day one. And by the way, Kennie, you're wedding dress did look like the McQueen.
First up was model castings, which to be honest, couldn't really get any more boring. But, did you see a few ANTM models pop up (Naima and Danielle) as well as PR season 1 favorite MORGANZA!!!! I love her...
So about the collections:
Kenley, who opened the show, claimed inspiration from "family...and Alice and Wonderland". Needless to say ropes- inspired by her daddy dearest's tugboat gig- and Alice and Wonderland don't really mix. I couldn't really see Alice in Wonderland either, unless you count that neon pink and black striped skirt, which truthfully looked more like a poseur punk teen who fell from the 80's. Another dress, the painted number, also bore a close resemblence to a Balenciaga dress...you know people go to jail for stuff like this.
Korto was next to show with her African tribal wear. It wasn't bad, but it was all the same really. We get you're from Africa. Really. And we're proud for you that you escaped genocide and crap, but find something new. Travel abroad. Go to Europe. Asia. Guam. Anywhere but AFRICA!!!
Leanne, the tree hugging Portland native, closed the show with a simple yet AMAZING show. Death Cab-esque music pounding through the speakers, she showed off her sleek, wavy collection of oceanic neutrals. I hope she blows the other two out of the water (bad pun, I know) and takes home the prize! And obviously that online poll thingy Bravo does shares my opinion.
XOXO
