The full slideshow for the finale runway is here. For next season, bring a big designer or fashion industry professional to be the judge for the finale. One last word, about guest judge Faith Hill – she was kind of a dud as a judge. Here are some of my favorites from Seth Aaron’s collection: She wishes she could design cool leggings like that. And I ended up loving all of his leggings! The leggings made me think about Lindsay Lohan, honestly. I was getting a very “Burberry Fall 2009” vibe off of some of the stuff, BUT it still seemed relevant and modern. Some of his pieces were derivative too, in my opinion. I also ended up agreeing with Nina Garcia – Emilio made a commercial line, not an editorial collection. I seriously wanted every coat he made… so maybe someday soon we can look forward to E. His saving grace was that he makes fabulous coats. During the course of the show, it felt like he really had a great vision for where fashion was going, and then he ends up showing a derivative collection that looked like 1980s Azzedine Alaïa. What in the 1980s neon hell was that? That electric blue hurt me deeply. You know who doesn’t have a good eye for it? Emilio. She should have put more color in her collection, because she has a good eye for it. ![]() On the rare pieces where she did use color – that lovely eggplant purple – it looked awesome. It was much better than I expected, and there were a couple of pieces that I actually thought, “Oh, that’s really nice, and interesting.” But there was too much black and white, and in general, not every outfit has to have some color blocking aspect. So, to recap the finale: You know all of the mean sh-t I was saying about Mila’s dumb, color-blocking ass? Well, I still stand by that, but I actually didn’t think her entire collection was horrible. It was so sweet! Sigh… this is my beloved Project Runway, the show that reward genuine talent over all-black and Coney Island t-shirts ( IRINA, winner of Season 6). But in the end, the best man and the best designer won! Hurray! My beloved Seth Aaron took the prize in the end, and he cried manly tears of joy, as did his wife, daughter and son. The way the episode was edited, I had a sinking feeling that Emilio or Mila was going to win – it just felt like it was going that way. ***This whole post is a SPOILER if you have not seen the Project Runway finale, which aired last night.***ĭid you think it was going to go down like that? I didn’t.
