Leanne Wins Project Runway!
Last night was the finale of “Project Runway,” idiotically put up against the presidential debates! The final three, Korto, Kennley and Leanne had their models walk the runway.
The judges loved Kennley’s outfits and her use of color, but again one of her painted garments was too much like a collection shown a year or so ago. Kennley finally admitted perhaps she needed to pay better attention to what was out there, though she didn’t set out to copy anyone.
They loved Korto’s use of color and her culture in her gowns, but felt once again she over embelished a lot of them. They wished she had held back a little.
They loved Leanne’s craftsmanship and the cohesiveness of her collection, but fear she’s going to be known too much for her “petal” looking skirts, and she might not expand from there.
In the end Kennley was the first to go. I was a little shocked, I thought she’d make it at least to final two. However it was Leanne who won the whole shebang.
I was not surprised Leanne won, her collection was the most cohesive of all of them. I just didn’t care for her lack of a variety of colors. It was too much like walking into Banana Republic for me, all the brown tones with one key color thrown in, which was the turquoise.
Overall, I think I was disappointed in this season. It didn’t have the drama or ooomph of past ones. Most of the contestants were just drab, though talented. Here is hoping next season, whatever network it’s on, is better.
Yeah when Kennley was the most exciting character, that says volumes.
I actually agreed with the winner this year. I liked Leanne’s the best. I think all of her outfits were that color because she was inspired by water. So she chose colors that went with that theme.
