How did our local ‘Project Runway’ designer fare this week?
Last week, Christopher was in the bottom again but was saved (again) when they sent Nicholas home.
Althea Harper, the Oakwood native and University of Dayton graduate, thinks that Irina, Carol Hannah and herself are the top 3 most talented designers remaining. I agree.
This week, the designers have to create a new look inspired by one of their best designs from a previous challenge.
Christopher is getting a lot of camera time this week. Gordana shared info. about her up bringing. We also got to see an old black and white photo of her as a little girl. Past seasons have shown us that more camera time means you’ll either win or go home, but the show’s editors seem hip to this, and it’s no longer a reliable signal. Besides, Christopher seems immune to elimination.
In the workroom, Irina seems to be the only designer with a clear direction and idea behind her garment.
Althea thinks that Logan stole the idea for the colar with zippers on his garment from her design for the Christina Aguilera challenge. Althea even goes so far as to tell Irina that she hates Logan and that she wants to confront him about his “inspiration.”
I don’t see it. Get over yourself, Althea. If Logan stole ideas from anyone it would be Jeffrey from season 3 who totally won a challenge with a zipper-ized dress (see photo to the right).
Althea has something to say about everyone this episode, including Carol Hannah (Why hasn’t she made pants!?!?!). Ironically, Irinia calls out Althea on the runway for borrowing her loose sweater look.
My thoughts on the runway
Carol Hannah: A boring black dress
Althea: Too similar to her inspiration
Logan: Very interesting though I see little connection to his inspiring design
Irina: Clearly tied in to her inspiration, very stylish
Gordana: Boring and not well made
Christopher: Too big and poofy
The judges and I don’t agree, as usual. They like Carol Hannah’s and Althea’s designs but didn’t like Logan’s.
From the judges reactions, I think that Althea will be winning this week’s challenge while Gordana will be going home. Even though they didn’t like Christopher’s design, Gordana’s was worse.
The results
Althea wins, but then the judges cause my jaw to drop when they send Logan home instead of Gordana.
I’ll miss looking at you, Logan.
