Project Runway: Finale Part 1

The remaining designers get $8000 to go home and design a wedding dress -- ooo, that's new -- and a collection. Then they come back to NYC and get narrowed down to 3 finalists.

Korto in Little Rock. She has an "ethnic but not too ethnic" collection, with her own beadwork and snakeskin (ew). The wedding dress is beige and non-traditional. Her husband and her daughter are adorable.

Leanne in Portland, OR. That boyfriend is such a lucky guy. He looks just as dull and pasty. Her collection has a wave-pattern theme. I don't like it. At all. And there are three colors: white, off-white, and a Tiffany blue. The wedding dress stinks. Is she dull or on some kind of drug? I can't tell now. Too bad they don't make pills that give you a personality.

Jerell in Los Angeles. Lots of "elegant" dresses in his collection. But some look like a wrinkled mess and as usual have that one-extra-thing thrown on that I hate. EDIT! He introduces his "love interest" Dan. Really? Love interest? That's the term we use now?

Kenley in Brooklyn. Kenley used to be a chubby little teen. Now I love her even more. Her collection has ropes (yes, ropes) and hand-painted fabrics. The wedding dress is crazy in a grand-finale kind of way. Her collection probably got the most praise from Tim, at least that's how they edited it.

Back to New York. They all act like massive bitches about and to Kenley. She apologizes to them, but it was a half-ass apology. Whatever, they seemed to accept it. And Jerell rocks the sternum bones and the tie-on-a-chain.

Last-Minute Challenge: Design a bridesmaid dress to accompany your wedding dress. They will be judged on those 2 dresses in order to make it to the next round.

Jerell seems perfectly content to make an ugly bridesmaid dress. And a sloppy one at that. THAT HE WANTS TO ADD YARN TO! YARN! Korto makes her dresses match. I'm over Leanne's wave designs before they even began. I like how it looks on the skirt, but not at the top and middle. It's just so puffy.

Judging. Jerell's and Korto's both look like wrinkled paper bags to me. Wrinkled paper bags with way too much going on. She ended up making her bridesmaids dress shorter and adding a little color, but it was still hella dull. He has to add horrid details like these huge jewels and a big flowery headpiece. There is just always TOO MUCH. I don't like the 2 tiers in Leanne's wedding dress (though it definitely looks well-made), but I loved the bottom of the bridesmaids dress. Kenley's wedding dress is a-dor-a-ble, as is the bridesmaids dress. Go Kenley!!

Bye-bye: Jerell. And he's a tad bitchy about it too.

ALL FEMALE FINALE!!
