Last night's PROJECT RUNWAY:
SPOILER
What a STRANGE show!
The previews -- TOTALLY misleading.
Poor Jeffrey...and I mean that sincerely. To be stuck with Angela's mother...who looked like nothing other than a big blackberry in her personal attire.
So...the challenge. Feh.
I was most impressed with Jeffrey's mother! A very classy lady. Ditto Uli's mother and Robert's sister.
All the hoo-haw over color choice between Angela's mom and Jeffrey was simply over-the-top. I blame Tim Gunn...NO WAY should he ever have solicited input from the mother about the fabric without Jeffrey being there. It was sabotage, IMO. Jeffrey's choices were his choices...any difference of opinion over them should have been between him and the mother with his sense of taste being the deciding factor.
Count me among the 30% who supported Jeffrey.
As for the dress, it wasn't pretty. But it was fitted well. With all that Jeffrey had to put up with, his heart could not have been in it.
AND...did I hear the judges task another designer for NOT using his own judgment over pleasing the client? I think so.
Interesting that Michael Kors referred to the Jeffrey/Angela's mom issue as a "miscommunication."
Dark purple and dark green as her favorite colors, indeed. The periwinkle looked great against the purple fabric Jeffrey selected. As for the dress looking "matronly," If this woman doesn't want to look matronly, who the hell dresses her in her street clothes?
And to ask Angela how she thought her mom looked was beneath contempt. Yes, Jeffrey can be boorish, but he was put on the defensive from the start...and the mother adopted a "victim" approach that reminds me SO much of Angela at her worst that I wanted to slap her.
Robert WAS boring. Oh my gosh, but he was boring.
Back to the Barbies, Robert!
No plus-size worries with the Barbster!
I thought Uli's outfit and Michael's outfit were the best.
As for the winner -- I dunno. I thought it looked awful. I didn't think it was flattering...the entire front of the dress was all stressed/crumpled...no smoothness to it.
The oversized collar -- that indefinable Vincent trademark of overstatement in some element -- looked cartoonish to me.
I was disappointed in the episode and the outcome.
