Project Runway, Seas 9 Ep 8: How Well Do You Know Me?
The challenge for the designers to create a look for a male’s significant other based on the interpretation was fun! It’s always interesting to see what a man thinks their woman would like and how that translates into a design worthy to wow the judges and the client. I would be curious to see what my boyfriend would tell a designer to make – he knows I love color so that would be a great
start! Let’s take a look at the high scores:
Viktor
Color is my middle name and Viktor brought it! I love everything about the look, including the hairstyle! She looks very stylish, and a woman who means business but has a fun side. The sunglasses and purse probably weren’t needed, but the necklace was a nice piece to add another color pop.
Joshua
Even though I am not a huge fan of all black, I love that Joshua made a cute simple dress with an amazing back showcasing the lace
detail and a full twirl skirt. This could easily transform into other colors and sell like hotcakes in the store. And nice touch to add a turquoise shoe! I could see Reese Witherspoon wearing this to a movie premiere.
Anya
Anya’s design was the most stylish, and runway ready! I love this look as well, and Anya has established herself as a unique designer out of the pack. With the model saying she is inspired to do an art piece from this dress speaks volumes. Anya always brings her Trini flair to the runway and I look forward to her designs every week. She is definitely a front runner!
And now the low scores:
Bert
I am surprised Bert is still in the competition. His designs are both too simple and boring or just plain wack. Nice tailoring job, but that won’t get you far.
Anthony Ryan
This design was rather boring and it did look similar to a cheerleading outfit. Adding polka dots to this and changing the style could have produced a Bettie Paige look. Luckily he’s still in the competition because he has made some amazing pieces in the past!
Bryce
Great color but bad fit. If Bryce could’ve conceptualized a vision earlier on and stuck with it, he might have created a stunning piece.
Again, great challenge by Project Runway and I can’t wait to see what’s next!
