Staff Blog: The Fiercest Fashion Finishes First: 'Project Runway' Season 4 Finale |
Access Hollywood - USA - Another stellar season of "Project Runway" came to a close last night, with cocky and flamboyant Christian Siriano, reserved and indecisive Jillian Lewis, and Grecian drape-obsessed and sardonic Rami Kashou battling for style supremacy in a knockdown fashion melee in the middle of Bryant Park.
Before we get to who out chic'd who, lets go over what these style-soldiers were wagging war for?
- A spread in Elle Magazine (unless Nina Garcia hates it)
- A chance to sell your collection on BlueFly.com (I don’t care how many times she says it, but Heidi Klum is not logging on to the internet to get her gear.)
- A 2008 Saturn Astra (this product tie-in has never made sense. Besides the last three "Runway" winners, I challenge you to find a fashion designer who would buy a Saturn. Even if it was adorned with Mood fabrics, I still don’t see it.)
- One year of representation from Designers Management Agency (who doesn't love a good agent to do their dirty work!)
- And the jackpot-- $100,000 to start their own collection (furnished by Tres Semme)
And now, on to the recap!
With three days until the runway, Christian, Jillian and Rami's nerves are getting the best of them. All three designers look the other's collections up and down, slinging glares of disapproval and raised eyebrows of fashion disgust as the clothes are shown in the workroom.
Luckily, Tim Gunn, the granddad of chic, steps in to calm their nerves and put out a few fashion fires — well except that flaming puffy-yarn-sleeved meets prison-inmate-striped shirt Jillian concocted. That is a fashion fire with a power far greater than Tim Gunn's abilities. Later in the episode, that inferno will blaze its way down the runway, in all of its Jack Sparrow-meets-Lamb Chop glory!
Kudos to Tim for slipping in two more SAT words ("incongruous" & "exuberance") as the finale continues. Not only does he educate in style but he also improves our conversational vocabulary.
Next up, the Final Three cast their models. But what are they looking for in their runway walkers? "Petite," "edgy," "dark-skinned" and of course — "fierce-tallness” are terms bandied about.
Rami and Christian seem confidant with their model casting, but Jillian continues, as she has all season, to be indecisive.
