Project Runway - Finale, Part 1
Finale Part 1 of Project Runway - who will make Fashion Week?
Highlights:
Tim Gunn visits the designers in their hometowns:
Andy South lives on a catfish farm in Hawaii. Wow. He's family are first-generation Laos immigrants.
Michael Costello lives in Palm Springs, CA with his partner Richard and his son Giovanni.
Mondo Guerra lives in Denver, CO. He's collection: Day of the Dead Clowns, LOL.
Gretchen Jones lives in Portland, OR.
Back in New York:
The designers get a gift from the Hilton - vacations. Nice.
To determine the top 3:
Challenge: Present Three Looks, two from the current collection plus an additional look created in 2 days.
All 4 designers were critiqued heavily. Not even Mondo was spared.
Mondo was in danger of becoming "too circusy". Grethen was too "granola". Michael used a single color palette with no cohesion. Andy presented a bathing suit.
Results:
Michael Costello is auf'd! Omigosh, so sad.
Oh and the drama when he was eliminated! Thank @god for Tim Gunn.
I think Mondo will win. And should win.
