Project Runway Season 2

[treschic]

I just finished watching Kara's show, and it was pretty f*cking fabulous =). I guess she did somewhat channel Jay with the bright colors and all, but her clothes were amazing. I would've loved to have her in the top three if I knew she could pull that stuff out of her mind that well.

Chloe won hands down:
She is going places!

Santino was nice too but I loved Chloe's Collection

 

[Avant Garde]

I dont know about anyone else, but it annoyed the hell out of me by having debra messing as a guest judge.

What does she know about fashion? She probably has stylists picking out her clothes. It explains all the bs-ing she pulled out when she tried to judge the collections.

I didn't like Chloe's collection at all, and I dont think Chloe is a designer. Shes out to make clothes that sell to the masses, instead of following her own vision.

 

[Classic Urban]

^ well when you're a designer you have to think about other people than yourself, you have to think about what looks good on people, and obviously it's her own visions combine with reasoning.

True. But puffy sleeves with satiny fabric doesn't seem appealing at all

I thought Chloe's collection was great call me stupid but I loved the first look to me it was sophisticated but young a lovely.

that's a feat that most designer aspire to but can not achieve.

fashion is not just merely an art. it has a function and most of all a business. selling and appealing to the masses is not a bad thing...it's a fantastic and thriving business.

i thought Chloe deserved to win because she has the whole package to become a SUCCESSFUL designer. altho i felt a bit bad for Santino since he seems so desperate for the chance.

just my two cents.

 

[Ianastar]

I was disappointed.

All along I have thought that Daniel's garments were so similar to Michael Kors......I'm glad MK offered him a job. I hope he takes it, they will work well together I think.

 

[shoexgal]

I wonder what happened to Santino. Daniel got the job, Chloe won, and Santino?

 

[DARKCHOCOLOViNG]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

He may be a b*tch sometimes... ok, most of the time. But he has some talent.

fashionsapassion said... I believe that Chloe’s 'collection' was overly mother of the bride. She has a few pieces that were interesting in there cut and her pieces were; and have through out the entire season, well fit. (God bless the pattern designers and seamstresses of America) she lacked inspiration and creativity. I felt that many of her embellishments were assignments out of a pattern making class or maybe a lesson in vogue brand patterns. Cheers. I got an A in pattern making class too. I did not feel that her collection was cohesive, expressive nor did I feel that the fabrics were modern or fashion forward. Daniel’s collection was clean, and understandable. He is young, and has a very good eye. His sense of color and fabric is mature for is age, but the maturity came across a little tired in this show. I also felt that they were unexpressive of personality or the youthfulness I expected out of him. (I loved a lot of what he did during season 2) i felt that he was designing for the wrong show and that his collection would go over better in 6 months. So now I am left with Santino. His was the only truly beautiful collection I saw on the finale runway. It was the collection that was cohesive,sophisaticated and pretty. His work was polished, finished in a way that he has not shown before. It seems that he was finally taking all of the judges' advice. There a mix of dresses and separates, an expressive use of fabric and color, and with out a doubt, all of the clothing flowed on the runway. He also had a very clear defined theme to his collection that was reflected in every piece. I was shocked when he was eliminated first. It seems that he had finally given the judges what they wanted and they still had something to say. maybe the project runway producers felt the need to pick a female winner after the first season, and I believe that Santino will have a career after the show, but a TV sitcom actress as the finale judge? There must have been someone else that could have been chosen.... the red carpet is not the runway. I am disappointed. Fashion may be subjective, but at least have a finale judge that has an education outside of her stylists and what she reads in magazines. Celebrity does not equal good personal style, taste, nor an understanding of what "IS IN" or what "IS OUT" It equals notoriety. Knowing how to put a pretty dress on does not mean you know how to pick one out.

The more I think about it, and look back at her previous designs on the show, the more I think I agree with Santino: she's a brilliant pattern-maker, but her designs don't really seem that creative. She's a business woman, and she seemed to approach her collection with a mentality of "what will sell in a boutique?" instead of "what do I actually want to send down the runway?"

This is basically sums up my thoughts on the episode, and chloe for that matter

I think Santino is actually kind on the inside. He's too opinionated and can be rude, but he was trying to make amends with the other two, who kinda blew him off..but I guess he understands that?

Hopefully he will be some type of designer or aiding designer soon. I want a Santino dress!

 

[Nocturnal_Antix]

I can't believe Chloe won..
I was positive she was gonna be the first out actually, so when they called
out her name I was like what? If you looked at all the stuff she did on project
runway about 5 of them wear blue with that same old cut with the same old pattern.

I don't think she's versatile at all, and I don't think she's capable of risks, besides that really poofy thing she made. I can't stand Santino but I
would've had him win way rather than chloe.

It's funny too that on that poll thing, she was voted 15% to win, the least
favorite of the PR viewers where as Daniel got nearly 50%, IDK, I just
don't get PR sometimes.

 

[cecilynew]

I'm so happy Chloe won...her stuff has been consistantly great throughout the show. And her 13th look?!....well I could have eaten it for dinner it was so delicious!

 

[MySweetSeptember]

i think santino was robbed, throughout the whole season he was the most interesting and innovative of the designers...sure his runway show was "tame" but that is because he was trying to show he can evolve and mature as a designer....daniel's collection was too mainstream and did not reflect much of his personality in my opinion and chloe's collection was very impressive but it left me with a sense of something missing...i do think daniel did do an amazing job nonetheless, all of them did, they are all talented, but Santino should have won because his style and expression is different, i felt he could have brought a fresh addition to the fashion world whereas chloe won't...just my opinion

I agree that Santino is talented, but overall his designs were pretty...well, disgusting to me throughout the show. He may be innovative, and that's nice, but innovation means nothing if it lacks practicality. I mean, most of Santino's designs were very ugly to me, creative, but ugly.

Maybe Chloe isn't as innovative as Santino, but she knows what she's doing. Fashion isn't just an art show - at the end of the day, there has to be someone willing to wear what you sew. Otherwise it's not much more than a fancy dust rag.

Chloe's designs are beautiful in my opinion...and not in a costumy way.

But what do I know about fashion anyway?

 

[sullen_femme]

OK I watched Kara's show and it was killer! I was surprised, I definitely saw something in her that I hadn't before. I wish she could havve been in the top 3- hers was the best!

 

[Luna]

Santino's collection was HORRIBLE ... nothing about that collection said Santino except the HORRIBLE FIT... the judges were right.. none of the tops fit the model's breasts!! Chloe's looked very professional.. there was a cohesive theme to everything... She deserved it.

 

[Faith Akiyama]

I thought Kara's show was a disaster the moment I saw the pictures on Getty...she said she wouldn't be "simple" any more after she was eliminated -- but her collection went way overboard this time!

(IMO )

 

[Luna]

The whole knit hat thing was a little too "Jac McCarroll headphones" type of thing for me.... that turned me off a little...

Jay's collection all went together... and didn't need one accessory to tie it all together, but it was an interesting addition.

 

[kyle_yeung]

i personally like santino 's collection ; it's glam...i like the fabrics that he has chosen ....but the fitting problem is a fatal mistake......beside i dun like chloe's collection for general
the silhouette is killing me........epecially the volume design....and some fabrics she 've chosen.gosh.......but the "back" design is great ..very innovative !
And i do like some pieces of daniel vosovic epecially the white coat ....i give it 11 out of ten ....sososososo great!!!and the mini purple blazer with purple dress ..also gorgeous!!!!!.......
i read some messages from his female fans that feel so mad ,disappointed frustrated blah blah blah that he is also gay too .............so funny to read this kind of messages
and also ..i am searching some interview of daniel vosovic. after the show .
can you guys post them on the forum .thx so much!!!..
