I get to have a real sleep tomorrow!

AfterElton goes to the Project Runway final fashion show.

Oh, pleeeeeeeeease let Leanne be one of the final three. PLEASE. If those two dresses are any indication her final collection is going to be fucking awesome and totally my favorite. Remember at the beginning of the season when Leanne said that "silent fashion assassin" crack and we were all, "... yeah. Right. Okay, sweetie, sure you are"? YES. THIS.

I also love what Korto brings to the table here. Those dresses are amazing.

Aside from that cream dress with the flowers I like nothing Kenley's showing me. Ugh.

Joe's collection looks like something a straight man would design. Not that they're bad, just ... yes, a straight man designed those dresses.

Is it just me, or do Suede's dresses look as if they were fitted on models twice the size of those girls?

Jerrell's outfits look good, too. If I were going to call the final three from those pictures I'd say Leanne, Korto, and Jerrell.

I just don't want to HEAR her anymore. Dear god. I would take a thousand years of "Suede did this" and "Suede did that" over Kenley's nasal whine.

I did like this but let's be honest, it's just her doing her Bettie Page wannabeschtick AGAIN and she's not bringing anything new to the table. And this is just... dear god. My eyes.

Based on work so far I would be happy with a Korto or Leanne win and of the two collections Leanne's is the standout. Granted Korto does have some great pieces (I drool over this, Though I wouldn't wear all of it (or possibly any) you can look and it and go Yes, This. Like this is totally impractical but it still looks wearable and awesome.

It'll be interesting when we can see them move.

God, I know, right? Suede's third-person bullshit is annoying but you can at least tell underneath it all that he's basically a nice person -- although a complete flake -- and a hard-working designer. (His talent level, on the other hand ...) But Kenley ... GOD. Everybody else is wrong and nobody's criticism is worthy because she's SOOO good. *headdesk*

Yeah, that's the only dress of hers I like, but that second one ... I saw it and literally blurted out, "Jesus, her and her fucking prints." She keeps picking out these prints that are appalling. And she's not even redeeming them with innovative design.

The thing I adore about Korto and Leanne's collection is that they're using bold solid colors and whites and letting the design speak rather than some brash print. (*cough*KENLEY*cough*)

Good call. Or doing something WITH the prints a la Uli. But Kenley is a lot of doing what she sees without having any idea why she's doing it, or even why she should know why she's doing it.

...dude, she's the SMeyer of fashion.

Or doing something WITH the prints a la Uli.

Yes, this. Uli didn't go bounding through a fabric store picking prints willy-nilly saying, "Ooo, pretty!" Uli had a purpose and a theme, and all of her prints fit into a structured collection. Uli's use of prints looked professional. Kenley's use of prints looks like, to steal a phrase from our dear Princess Chicken, a hot mess.
