Project Runway – What the?

Ah, the party is over at Project Runway after last night’s shocking season finale. Jeffery, of all people, won!
First, let me say that it’s not like I don’t think this guy is not talented. Obviously, he is. But, personalities aside, I was totally amazed at both Laura’s and Uli’s collections as well as how they put them together on the runway. Michael, I also liked, but I expected more from him. I’m not sure exactly what happened there.
I have looked at the collections on line before seeing them on the show, but really, there’s no comparison when it comes to viewing individual pieces on a static computer screen to watching a runway show with live, moving models, and music to boot. So, before last night, I wasn’t sure about any of the designers’ chances.
I still love the show. I’ll be back for next season, and hopefully, I’ll be blogging about it, but with every season I get more annoyed with the judging. They seemed to think Jeffery’s style was so innovative, but other than some cool zippers, I didn’t get it. I saw lots of different lengths of cloth in the “desconstructed” style he is known for, but okay, so what?
Laura’s designs were elegant and made a statement, but at the same time, they were “real” dresses for “real” women. What’s wrong with that?
Uli’s clothes are just beautiful, flowing down the runway. Magical.
I’m just at a loss to understand…..
