I love Project Runway. I am not a fan of reality TV but… There is something about it that I find exciting and inspiring. Making wearable art is a dream of mine and fashion is wearable art. Last night’s episode left me reeling at how predictable the judges are. Rami has been making the same dress all season and this dress, which was beautiful, was no different. Both Nina and Michael have been saying “we want to see something different” but in reality they don’t because they chose Rami over Chris. Rami gave them the same tried and true dress, one he knew was wearable and that he could do flawlessly, he put a jacket over it that the judges weren’t all that interested in and all of a sudden it is something new?
Chris brought to the table outfits that were over the top, exquisitely executed and yes goth. Why is that a problem? Chris’s dress that Micheal responded to “It looks like she is wearing a condom.” was amazing and if it were made of white fabric would have been a completely different dress. All of Chris’s outfits were complete as they were and offered great spring boards to other things. Rami’s work was all end all be all he is left just making more draped dresses. Don’t get me wrong I think there is a place for what Rami does and I think he will always do well. (He is the only one of the final four who had a separate studio from his home.) -Christian lives and works in a closet.- No one wears high fashion in day to day life they wear the items derived from ideas high fashion walks down the runway.
It is because I believe high fashion should lead to greater things than just one line or one outfit that I believe Chris should have won last nights episode.
