Page Four Pwoject Wunway Finale Dance.....
I think the judges have already chosen Anya to win, so I will be very surprised if that is NOT the outcome.....as a big a robbery as last year's win by Gretchen.
Pwoject Wunway SPOILERSSPOILERSI'm not thinking that the Anya win robbed anyone. I've actually liked Anya time after time. Just when you think she hasn't a prayer in hell of finishing a challenge she turns out something stunning. I think she had one misfire during the entire competition. Viktor is incredible. Kimberly is not a favorite and neither is Joshua M. As for the runway show, Viktor outsmarted himself and introduced new pieces, holding back something praised by the judges last week when he showed his three looks. It was, as Heidi pointed out, two different collections neither of which complemented the other.
Joshua's collection was really neat, but as usual, Joshua oversells the "innovation" of his designs (they're not that innovative, IMO) and oversells how "amazing" a look is when it seems just "okay" to me. That, plus his raging ego that far exceeds his talent, has not endeared him to me at any point during the competition. I like him no more than I liked Gretchen and he is equally obnoxious.
Kimberly had a nice collection, as well, but her aesthetic isn't mine. I hated that top that won her a challenge...that gold metallic thing that Nina was so fond of and wore in a later segment of the show. Nina didn't wear it well, either. She looked misshapen to me. Kimberly has turned out some great-looking clothes, though, and I thought her collection was pretty coherent.
I though Michael Kors' observations about Anya were convincing. Anya has a distinctive, and aesthetically sophisticated, sense of style. Of all four designers, I agree with them that she's the one most ready to launch a business. Josh was a close second. Frankly, though, he has been diverted by Tim from several disasters. Josh will make it, I'm sure, as will most of the designers in the competition.
Anywho, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. I figured if Anya could somehow work some magic with her collection that she'd stun everyone. She stunned enough folks and I applaud her win.
