Project Runway: Don’t Cry For Jerrell
The first part of the two part season finale of “Project Runway” happened tonight. The designers were all sent home to make their collections as well as a wedding dress as their final piece. Upon returning, their challenge was to make an accompanying bride’s maid dress. They would show those two to the judges, and the final 3 would be chosen.
In the end the final three going on to fashion week are Kenley, Korto and LeAnne. Jerrell is out! However in fact the poorly guarded secret is that because of production, the final four always design a collection and always show. Usually they just edit it in a way that only shows the final three. So even though Jerrell isn’t in the running to win, he still showed at Bryant Park.
Even though I hate her attitude, I do feel like Kennely deserves to be in the end. I think she may have a very good chance of winning from the sneak peak we saw. LeAnne will give her a run for her money, though her color pallet just reminded me of the 2nd season’s winner who did her whole collection around a Tiffany box. Korto I think is a good designer, I just wasn’t feeling what little she showed. I could however be blown away.
The finale is next week!
As a side note, “Project Runway” may not be leaving for Lifetime as soon as we thought. It was expected the next season would be on Lifetime, but NBC/Bravo filed a lawsuit to try and keep the show on their network. It seems for now, it may be staying put on Bravo until the whole nasty mess is straightened out.
It seems Joe and Suede also showed a Spring ’09 collection – I saw them on a New York fashion website. Boy, were they HIDEOUS. Suede’s actually looked very poorly constucted and he somehow managed to make his models look fat – a huge achievement, though not one of the right sort.
If you want to look up that website – be careful; it also shows the final three collections, by the look of it. I feel like I’ve ruined the finale for myself by viewing them, because it looks like there is one clear winner.
It did, however, fill the anticipatory void which has opened up in the waiting for next week’s show. That’s something, at least.

I’m tempted to look for the site, but I also want a surprise for the finale lol. However based on the previews we got of the collections, yeah it looked like only one had the goods there too.

Oh, I didn’t know they all got to show. That does make me feel better. How awful to have to make an entire collection and then not be able to show it?!? I’m not crying for him anymore though…. his wedding dress was awful.
