Project Runway really seems to be grasping at threads for this one: Have the model shop for the fabric, make sure it’s eco-friendly, and have the designer make a dress out of it. Strangely enough, it reminds me a bit of the weight loss episode from last season in that some of the current designers viewed the models shopping for them as “death on a stick.”
Right now, I’m inclined to think Suede, the guy with the blue mohawk, is the spiritual son of the Björk Lady. Talking about yourself in the third person is a little too Björk Lady, even for the Björk Lady. There’s probably a bit of Chris March in him as well (remember the big guy who talked to his garments?). For all I know, Suede probably put a spit mark on his fabric, but he seemed to have talked strips of organic silk into a winning number.
I like to think of Korto as the saner counterpoint to Season 2′s Zulema, but there’s a little bit of an echo of the “clothes off your back” as she makes a dress a little too short in the back. Luckily, it’s not butt-less.
Biker Chick/Betty Paige on crack comes back from last week as she puts a very LA kind of rock and roll chic into a one sleeve white satin number (with lace ups). Nice recovery from the trash bag from last week.
As for the brown fabrics, the and the designers are ephemeral. No wonder the guy who does a brown dress gets canned.
As for Tweaker Beck, he’s much more memorable when he makes fun of the Biker Chick. I can’t even remember what he does.
I guess that’s what happens when you go to Comic-Con and delay the posting, My memory seems to gone right now.
