"Project Runway": Double Down

Posted by Lindy Parker

 

It always surprises us that Michael Kors can look so jovial and kindly even when saying things like, "you have the worst taste in the history of the world" or "your fashion taste makes me feel like you deserve to die."   Nina Garcia just nods, placing a knuckle thoughfully against her chin as though he's just said something neutral like, "you really should try to use more blue."  We can't argue with him this week though -- some of the looks really did reach a scandalous level of ugly...

As promised, two designers were auf'd this week: First Blayne, who sent his model down the runway in what appears to be an eggshell bodysuit, accompanied by an S&M harness and garnished with wads of jewel-toned tulle (most of which seems to be blossoming from her crotch).   Admittedly, we're not altogether sure what "avant garde" means exactly, but we're willing to bet that ain't it.

Kenley escaped elimination despite the fact that it looked as though she was designing for Whoville...

 

We think the trouble is, we always want Kenley's personality to be as cool as the clothing she wears (wears, not designs), but we're usually left disappointed.  Also, she got into a shouting match with Nina Garcia that left us feeling generally put off by her.   We're ready for her to go.

Unfortunately, Terri (lover of pants) was the second contestant to be eliminated this week.  It was a combination of factors really -- she and Keith had some sort of fight that we didn't really care about and then her model looked like she was sprouting feathers from her armpits...

Ah, well.  So it goes.  She should've stuck with pants.

Kenley *should* get to stay--she doesn't look at collections, so she's like the Will Hunting of fashion.

Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.
