Project Runway Season 4, Season Finale
............................
EDIT...
I'll make a real post and edit this again after I digest what happened. And after I digest my dinner. Lasagna yay.
EDIT IS FIERCE...
*burps*
Okay. I'm ready now.
Well.
So that was the finale, huh?
I hope I wasn't the only one who was bored. >_>;;
Let's just say that once I saw the collections, I knew Christian would end up winning. He brought the most drama. I questions some -- okay, alot -- of his designs. Christian, and this has been pointed out, does fashion for fashion's sake; he dresses models, but his stuff doesn't always translate into the real world. I hated the feather dress at the end and would never buy it or wear it, but it's absolutely great drama.
I thought Rami might end up winning since the judges have sort of favored him all season; plus, because of the mini-walkoff with Chris, Rami had a chance to get feedback and edit the collection that showed. Notice: he took out that one dress the judges hated from his runway show. Smart move on Rami's part. He didn't do everything draped -- which I almost missed! -- and he had some very interesting designs and surprises scattered everywhere through the whole collection. I agree with the judges that he showed a whole collection... a little of everything from a range of styles.
Jillian, I had high hopes for, but she did end up being muddled. Her collections was a little everywhere and not-quite-focused. Still beautiful and feminine and wearable, but not enough omph to win. I thought she started out strong enough, but then fizzled out.
Okay, enough with that. It's time for the ranting and bitchery, which is what I'm sure you're all here for. :P
WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?! THAT WAS BORING. IT WAS ALL BLACK AND MONOCHROME AND NEUTRAL. God. Even Jillian stayed in the safe color range (i.e.: BLACK). It got to the point where I was happy to even see the teensiest splash of color. Yes yes, there were color pieces scattered throughout the three collections, but they were almost forgettable amongst all the black and neutral. =____=;;
And Tim Gunn.... I love you. You're fabulous. But stop saying these were teh best designers evah. I kind of hated this whole season, or at least, was very bored by it. Not just because of the lack of drama either! The clothes, to me, weren't as exciting as the previous seasons. I think maybe it's because all the designers were already established to some degree; that tends to make them less likely to take risks, as they have a marketing standpoint already in their heads. Just... ugh.
Also, I sort of wanted to punch Christian in the face. Relating to the point I made above about him making fashion for fashion's sake, I hated that part where he was dressing his models. "I wore these shoes!" "Be skinny! Don't eat!" His disregard for the fact the models had a hard time walking in his shoes peeved me. Actually, his disregard in general peeved me. Once he spouted off that "don't eat" line, I really hated him even more.
Rami's boyfriend is cute.
I dunno what else to say. I think I might have to watch the episode again, but I think I got the major points I wanted to make.
Oh, and I'm so over Victoria Beckham. I still think of her as Posh Spice. Ooh and did anyone else catch that utterly jealous look on Carmen's face during the runway show? Hahaha she's still bitter over being auf'ed (it totally came out during the reunion show). But she's a bitch and I hated her; her clothes were ugly and then she didn't finish her outfit. XP
