Does anyone agree with this? I watched the show last night two times in a row. I thought that Michael won because he used various pieces of material from the recycling warehouse and put together an outfit. He really showed good imagination by using items other that fabric. I really liked Jeffrey and Laura's dresses, but their use of materials did not have enough versatility. I think that is why Michael won. He shows that he thinks when he is designing. I feel the judges are looking for that in the designers. The term "one note" can apply to how well the designers make use of their resources, as well as how a design is constructed. On that note I think Michael has really shown the most versatility and was won the last two challenges because hands down - he is filling all the gaps. What do you guys/gals think?
Well said- Michael pays attention to the entire process for each challenge - the concept, fabric, construction, styling, and presentation. the judges have remarked on this in the past two episodes, and probably had picked up on this in the earlier challenges.
Remember in the INC challenge that when the judges were asking Angela to explain her design that Michael pointed out the detail that the jacket was lined with that cool fabric that he had suggested to Angela. No, nobody is going to see that lining, necessarily, but it is a nice touch, and again showed the team's/Michael's attention to smaller details/construction.
I also think that the designers who can clearly explain and respond to comments/questions from the judges have a better chance of advancing each week. Even Vincent, whose designs I don't like, will always defend what he's done, and stands behind his work. I think that one reason Santino made it to the Final Three is that he always defended his designs, and his concepts.

What really bothered me was the hostility the judges showed toward Alison. They seemed to be attacking HER rather than her garment. They came off as meanspirited bitches (Kors included) intent on bringing down a young, pretty, and talented designer.
I have to agree, it seems she was treated unfairly because she is a female designer and therefore should know how to fit a female body. I guess if you are a male designer you aren't held to the same standards. Those judges couldn't possibly think that Vincents dress fit his model. It was originally a strapless dress and it looks as though she had to wear her own bra to keep the dress up.
Worst of all, they voted her off because she made her model look bigger than she actually was -- a cardinal offense apparently. Making someone look fat (their words, not mine) trumps high school drama-class costume design. Alison's design didn't wow me, but it was certainly better made and prettier than what Vincent threw up.
I used to watch Project Runway because it had a semblance of integrity . . . not sure what I think after tonight. Even Tim is aghast.

I don't know what happened to my reply to this so I will try again.
It seems that Allison got treated differently because she is a woman and therefore should "understand" a womans body. Apparently Vincent is not held to this standard. There is no way the judges could have thought that his garment fit. And wansn't it originally a strapless gown? Was the model wearing a bra?
...VIncent used the black straps from the bra as an accent against all that blah white paper! Did he buy that bra with his supplies? I don't think so! And you could see the back of the bra through the dress when she turned around!! talk about not fitting well!

I guess so, FF1. I respect your opinion and your seniority on this board, but I don't think that crappy outfits are always the ones to go. And I don't think it is always the common denominator for auf'ing. Again, consider Santino's lingerie. Not flattering. Santino was often accused of not designing for a woman's form, and was kept on until the bitter end.
I do agree that the talent on this show is exemplary, and because of that fact, it is all the more difficult to make the cut each week. These designers are consistently turning out amazing product. And yes, for the viewer, this makes each cut feel unfair as we become all the more invested in our favorite designers.
I agree that Alison's outfit was poorly executed. It made her model look like a walking cream puff. Yes, the bow-tie hair was one of the worst hairstyle on PR to date. But other designers have made atrocious decisions, made mistakes, run-out-time, and have been spared.
By no means was Alison my favorite. If you consider some of my earlier postings, I favored Michael, Laura and Uli. I believe the judging has been uneven, at best, and manipulative.
Very well said,

If you were plus sized or some equivalent, would you wanna look that way. If I'm a 10, do I wanna look like a 10, 12 or 8? The 8, no?
Yes, of course. I guess I'm just saying smetimes a 12 looks like a 12. Sometimes thats what I see in the mirror even though I work hard to look like a 10 or less. I'm just saying Hiedi's inference is that she made the model look bigger than she was not what she was...but then to find out she really is considered plus sized by someone we all respect (Tim) than I'm having trouble finding the fault in THAT part of what Allison did.
I don't see Alison's dress making the model be what she is. I saw it as kinda a straight line and making the waist thicker. Emme is a pretty plus sized model but the point of her choices is to make her look like a pretty woman and less of a + than she might be (I don't know her size). Clothes are supposed to emphasize good points and/or deemphasize the lesser attributes. We buy swimsuits to enhance figures. I wear swim skirts often or some kind of short. It had been because I had no hips. Now I do it because I have that dimply crap on my ---. What a drag it is getting ooollllldddd.
I think if Alison had not had that stupid hair bow and had achieved a better fit (maybe only one of the two was needed), Vincent woulda been gone.

Oh yah I compeletly agree about the Minnie mouse bow but I think she tried to give the girl a waist. Tim even says in his podcast that she was on the right track. But as I said in one of my earlier posting (way back when I checked in this morning) a s a female who has a male figure, not the lean type but the no-waist-straight-into-your-legs one, its one that designers and fashion help columns generally over look. All I guess I'm trying to say after all this is that she had a hard job to do...

ok i signed up on here because i'm so upset about Allison getting the boot!
here is my take on everything:
laura is a one trick pony i hate her clothing it's all stuff that she would wear and i'm sick of seeing the same thing every week! and so help me god she needs to stop wearing those V neck out fits or she needs to eat somthing and grow some boobs!
Jeffery i like him but i want to see him do somthing other than grungy rock n roll stuff. i liked his dress this episode but the colors were really bad!
vincent i have no clue why they keep him and it was just scarry hearing him say that the dress was a walking peace of art and that "it gets me off" *eww* if he wants to be and artist then be and artist but as a designer he never left the 80's!
micheal i like him as a designer and i think he won because he really did try to use the material as if it were fabric
poor Allison i feel that even though her model was a different build than the others it was her job to take that into account *not that i wanted her out at all they should have kept her!*
and heidi i think showed bad taste in saying the plus size comment even though she meant it as the dress made her look bigger i'm sure it pissed alot of people off. not just that but that poor girl probably cried herself to sleep that night thinking she was fat *which isn't the case at all i wish i was that fat!*
and finally did you notice how at the end of the show they have this disclaimer saying that the judges choice was helped in part by the producers! it could be a conspirace?

I had a problem with the dress last night too but for me it wasn't the stripes but the uneven hemline
I wanted to cut the newspaper in the back even to the front.. lol (I think it would have made a cuter dress)
what I didn't understand is that he was able to sew (or paste.. whatever) the newspaper to muslin fabric.. nobody else was able too.. or did .. right? That's why his "fabric moved"
The rest chose the peanut bags for their fabric. (and Alison had to deal with just the rigidness of the paper)

LOL. It's on right now. Here's an idea: Alison dumped Toni for Alexandra. Alexandra woulda been out if she stuck with Toni. I think Toni had trouble walking with the dog in that challenge. I don't remember if Toni has problems walking period or not. But in an odd way Alison sewed the seeds of her own undoing by not sticking with a more traditionally-proportioned model (the super skinny kind).

I absolutely agree. I was stunned and extremely disappointed
that Alison got kicked off after that horrible display of a dress Robert did. All of his outfits have been weak in show and she has always been really good. Why did they consider everyone elses previous talent , but when she has one iffy dress they all don't consider her previous talent? Robert has to be one of the worst ones...All dresses he's done have been tacky and Alison has had nothing but praise from them. What's that all about?

Alison's model may be plus sized; if you listen to Tim's podcast, he says as much. Cut Heidi some slack. It was unflattering but imo the bow was worse.
Laura didn't have a V on her Katherine Hepburn update look. Uli grew outta the one-trick last week. Laura does design with herself in mind, but some female designers make a career of that. Heck, Chloe said last year her collection was about herself.

I have a feeling that is what they are going to do next week in designing fashion for the everyday woman. The everyday woman is not a single-digit dress size, so I would say, and by the silhouette of the person coming on the runway to introduce the challenge to the designers, the challenge must be to design a garment flattering to the average-to fuller figured (plus-size in Heidi's mind) woman.
I agree. And I think all of these comments about oversized mini mouse and what not was just foreshadowing of what's to come. It's just something to get folks riled up and keep everyone talking about the show until the next episode.
Quote:
This type of challenge has been suggested many, many times over on these boards and to Tim the past two seasons, so perhaps they finally caught on to the idea--very fresh and novel of them, wouldn't you say?
I think people who are affiliated with the show come on here and post hints at what's coming up in future episodes. Then, everyone on the board starts talking about "ooh, wouldn't it be cool if..." and then when it happens and it shows up on an episode we, the viewers, are supposed to feel like we had a role in shaping the show. Admittedly this sounds a bit conspiracy theory but I think it's just plain old marketing and p.r.

As an avid Project Runway viewer since Season 1, I haven't always agreed with the judges' decisions, but at least they were always able to rationalize their choices in a sane, reasonable way.
Project Runway in Season 3 has jumped the shark. Once the most innovative and (dare I say) honest "reality" shows on tv, this season it is every bit as staged, unrealistic and tabloidy as every other reality program on the air.
Project Runway is nothing without its integrity." Maybe in Season 1 and Season 2. But I'm afraid to say, Tim, Project Runway just isn't making it work anymore.
I completely agree which is why I didn't delete much from your post. Clearly these judges are only interested in what he could possibly do and not what he is currently doing. Isn't that why Andre' got booted during the garden party dress challenge? Isn't that why Austin was booted for the Grammy challenge. Yes they say they want innovative clothes... why then didn't Jeffrey win? I can't stand the way he is on the show either but you have to be blind to say that his dress didn't deserve to win.
The fact that "Corky" aka Vincent is still around leads me to believe one of two things:
The judges are full of C-rap...or
that when he cashed his 401k he sent the money to the judges to make it to the final 3.
I have no doubt now that is exactly where he is heading and I am so disappointed. I find a show that I absolutely love, tell everyone I know about and even post here. Now I feel like I have to find a new show to watch.
Judges you suck.

He butted in, the issue with the machines was between Mr. Space Cadet and Laura - he had to jump in with his two cents.

If you don't care why are you posting? Nobody cares about you, we want you to go away or post on topic. We are here to post about the show not you. Please seek attention elsewhere. Go make a website about yourself so people can post about you there .. HERE we want to talk about the SHOW.
You always say you are leaving and not posting again but you obviously do nothing but sit around reading the board and responding to every comment made about you.
If you really were so great and confident you would not have to say it all the time. Stop caring so much what we think about you. This is the internet .. nobdoy has any idea who you are or cares. Sign off and nobody will remember you tomorrow or care. You really do not need to prove yourself since you are just a voice that nobody cares about or will remember.

I, like many others, was so confused/infuriated by last night's episode that I felt compelled to get on this message board, just to vent.
I know its been said a couple times already, but I have to get this out.
Is there something going on with Vincent and the producers? I would have booted him the first week! And it's not like he's impressed anyone since then. Just because he calls his work 'art' doesn't make it appealing!
Alison was hands down one of the most marketable designers on the show! It was clear that had she won Project Runway, she would have done the show proud by producing a line of clothing wearable for ALL women, not just those into 80's style arts and crafts abominations.
I'll be honest, sometimes I don't 'get' fashion. Like Bradleys beehive shirt. Didn't understand that one AT ALL, but it's not like he's still in, so who cares? But Alison? Its not her fault she got the fat model. I thought her outfit looked great on the form. The hair was probably a mistake, but there is NO WAY that could honestly be considered worse than Vincent's. Not to mention the fact that she has been consistently very awesome and certainly more interesting to watch on television. When Vincent comes on with one of his burn out freak fests, I want to change the channel.
I hope someone can explain this to me. I really can't figure this one out.

If I were a judge on PJ Runway, Jeffery would have been off the first episode and Vincent the second. What you get from those two, is what you see, and there is nothing redeeming about Jeffery and Vincent. I think that Jeffery has unfound arrogance and is jealous of some of the designer's skills (especially, Michael). He is inconsistent and with the exception of the dog challenge and this waste not challenge...his designs have been very unpleasant for my taste. But that is just my opinion.

I really think, based on what we saw on the runway this week, that he should have been the one to go. I loved how Tim described Kayne's dress as something you would wear to Pancake's birthday party at Angela's art camp. Ouch! But LOL!.
Michael & Laura are still my favorites but I doubt both of them will make it to the top three. One of them will and I hope it's Michael at this point. At first I thought Jeffrey should have won but someone earlier noted that he used muslin as a backing so I don't think it was as challenging and innovative as Michael's in that regard. But, it was a likeable dress even though I haven't liked Jeffrey's style in the past.

After reading the comments about how crazy Heidi looks, I hope everyone realizes that she's pregnant again so these are maternity clothes. NOT that there's any excuse to wear ugly maternity clothes. Which I think Heidi's are, God bless her.
Kara Suan makes some of the clothes but not sure if its the entire wardrobe. BTW, Heidi is not pregnant during the taping of season 3 so they are in fact maternity clothes.

I threatened to quit but I would miss the poetry too much. I already like dcjewbear and ff1 and Missotis and so many others thats why I read here more than anything plus we can discuss fashion even if the show isnt about fashion.
I agree that Jeffrey should have been gone from day 1 his attitude is awful and has he not worn the same clothes since the show started? Does he ever bathe? He doesn't look it.
I think he is jealous of Michael and Laura and very jealous of Angela that is why he was so mean to her. Now that Michael has won twice you could almost see his mind switching and he openly dissed Michael's design after he lost to him last evening.
I think that the only reason he was nice to Allison is because she turned him on. Plus I think there is a bit of that nastiness hidden in Allison's personality. I went to her website and she has a very nasty little thing there about Angela.
I still am sad she is gone because at least she had the sense to keep her opinions to herself and she is one of the better designers.

Allison being kicked off has caused me to consider not watching any longer. I loved the outfit she did for the dog project and thought she should have won that challenge. She is more talented than most of the folks left.
The worse part is having to lose on a STUPID challenge like using garbage to make a garment. How monumentally stupid was that idea. When it comes to using fabric (Hello, that's what clothes are made from) she could have made it to the finals.
And why did the judges give Kayne a pass based on his past performances?
I am wondering if the thing is rigged to get certain personalities moving forward. Forget design - just give 'em personalities.
I may be re-thinking my Wednesday evenings from here on out.

Dear Heidi,
I think your comment about Alison's model looking like a plus size model was in poor taste. It is good to know how you really feel about fat people. I am guessing you think that everyone over a size 4 should be lined up and shot to rid the world of the travesty that exists because of fatties.
This merely perpetuates the thought that fat people are lazy and unworthy. Kind of like when People magazine has someone on the cover who is suffering from anorexia and everyone writes in about how bad they feel for that person but if a fat person gets the cover? People write in about how shameful it is they are promoted at all and that person should just get off their lazy butts.
I hope your children learn what is to be discriminated against because of their size, maybe then you will see how callous your comments actually are. I suppose we detract from all that is beautiful in this world because only skinny people are good looking and worthy of anything decent to wear.

sorry but after the way angela was such b--ch when she was working with vincent i really don't care for her anymore. yes she won one challenge but lets not forget how she can be and why nobody likes her anymore on the show. bythe way, where can I find allisons website. I think she is great.

I agree! Jeffery should have won. Vincent should go.
Kayne should have won the last one. These judges have a blind spot where Michael is concerned. They will make sure he wins.
What a crock of shitake mushrooms,

And you've been here all of what three months before me? Wow! I guess that makes you an elder on this board. Let me tell you something, I've been involved and indulged in the fashion industry probably since you were a baby milking your mother’s tit. I've worked at one of the top fashion houses in New York with haute couture. So forgive me if I think my expertise warrants my opinion even though I haven't been on this site very long with you wholesale bargain basement shoppers.
How to respond to this? Let me count the ways.
1. I'm probably old enough to be your grandmother. Thanks for the compliment that I sound so young. I do think I'm a cool mom and a with-it broad.
2. You've worked at one of the top fashion houses in New York with haute couture? Gosh. Let's parse this little brag. Exactly how long were you there? In what capacity? Any secretary or receptionist at any fashion house in NYC could make the same claim.
4. And what is with this "I've been in and indulged in the fashion industry" crap? How, exactly, were you "in" the industry. You haven't established your bona fides at all. And as for "indulging" in the industry, what, that means you buy some fancy clothes? Or, you finger them lovingly as they go out to the rich clientele and mutter "there, but for the bucks and social status, go I"?
5. As to your dismissive reference to the participants here as "you wholesale bargain basement shoppers," yeah, a lot of us go for well-made, fashionable clothes at the most attractive price we can find, from sample sales in NYC to various creative ways to look good without breaking the bank. You might try the same, and save those dollars for some apparently needed therapy for your patronizing hostility toward others.
Bravo!!!

Not as painful as your grammar and spelling though. Honestly darling I've never responded or made a post directed to you so why are you bothering responding to my posts? If I'm such an embarrassment and you don't care about what I write then why bother using the energy to type? How about putting that extra energy to proof read before you send. Usually if someone is annoying to me and I don't have a reason to converse with them I ignore them like I'm about to show you.
Hahaha I KNEW it! I knew you sat around reading posts about yourself instead of leaving and having a real life! Everytime I think I may be wrong about you .. you prove to me I was correct the first time.
It's sad all you can comment on is my spelling and grammer. I ignored it before because it's so childish. It's typical. Every time I read a fight on the internet (EVERY TIME) and somebdoy is losing they say something about the other persons spelling and grammer as if that is an actual point.
English is my second language .. I can speak 4 langauges by the way. Now maybe you can post about something else.
Good job ignoring me by the way. Somehow I doubt you'll be able to ignore posters here. I get the feeling that you're going to post here all day long all about yourself. Please feel free to prove me wrong and stop talking about yourself and only post about the show.

Gina2 actually my mouth dropped when she was aufd. I can't believe she wasn't pardoned like some of the other designers that are still on the show. I don't have the first clue that decision is very questionable to say the least.

Take it how you please I could really care less but I didn't come back to dwell on past posts. I'm a rich [expletive deleted] and will continue to be until the day I die. I will never deny that I can be crass and arrogant that’s just a part of me. That will be my last post to you or your other guru's on this board. I would like to wish Michael and Laura the best of luck true talent and style will prevail in the end.

the high waist that Jeff was so rude about (I think it was him who made that comment).
Interesting that Jeff was not bothered at all by the similar high waist of Allison's Farah dress.....

it's all relative, people. compared to the others, she's fat.
jeffrey's trompe l'oeil belt was pure genius! love it!
WTF? Allisons model is not fat. Compared to the others? What, they are a size 0 and she is a size 2 so shes fat? Thats just silly. The judges said the outfit made her look big, they didnt say the model was fat. Geesh,
brillke
do you understand the phrase, "compared to the others?"
if all the models were 6'1" and one of them was 5"10, would you be wrong to say she was short compared to the others? no. does that mean she is "real world" short? no.
it's the same thing in this case. it's just a word. get over it.
No, I guess I dont understand that term. Your a bit touchy to be telling someone to get over "just a word" aint ya?
