Right off the bat I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in Project Runway this week, since they only kicked off one designer. 11 designers still make for much too full of an Atlas apartment. That being said I loved the challenge. While I’m not so sure what a “Lipstick Jungle” is, I always love the "pitch and then team design" challenges. The SJP one from season past is one of my favs. So this year it’s that crazy drug lady Brooke Shields and understandably the designers were a little under whelmed. Still it was great visibility for the winner.
As Brooke went through the sketches I was most intrigued by Blayne, Terri, and Fusilli Joe’s designs. Sadly old man Joe got passed over, Terri did not deliver, and Blayne fell short. Surprisingly Jerrell’s design, which did nothing for me in the sketch phase, really dazzled me (pictured above). Plus I loved his ass kissery and the fact that he not only picked Stella as his partner (by default) but also utilized her to the max. I thought his outfit best fit the “character” of the challenge. The judges loved Keith and I gotta believe his Mormon ego is huge right now. Kenley was the perfect balance to his lack of control and the outfit was definitely strong. I thought Kelly’s design was the weakest of those picked by Brooke and it showed. Her design looked cheap and Daniel’s impeccable taste let them down. I loved his bff Kenley snickering at him, as he looked insulted on the runway. Sorry to say that I made him my dark horse for the top spot. In the end though Kelly needed to go. She clearly peaked the first week and while she correctly stated she was never in the bottom 3 prior to this week she never regained the brilliance of her first design. Thankfully Blayne skirted by as I still enjoy his entertainment value far too much. Another week and some more fat trimmed, plenty more to go.
