Design for me!

I loved this latest episode of Project Runway!

It was great that they brought the designers to the museum to get "inspiration". It allowed each of them to expand and create something rather than be told what to do.

And to his own detriment, Rami did what we all expected him to do. Just because one of the rooms had Grecian/Roman art in it, he didn't HAVE to default to what he loves. He should have stretched his skills and showed the judges something new. It's the brink of the finals, he should he TURNED IT OUT!

Chris! I am so happy that he made it to the pre-finals along with Rami. Especially after he was voted out and brought back into the thick of things when Jack left due to his condition. Love it! He certainly knows how to create drama that's for sure. I was a little disappointed on his last design though. It really was reminiscent of the dress he did with Christian. He just shouldn't have created such a BIG fluff over the right shoulder. If it had been made less tall then everyone probably wouldn't have been so distracted. I thought Chris was going to bust out in sobbing tears when Roberto Cavalli said that he could picture Chris doing a haute couture show in the coming years.

Of course, Christian was in love with himself and what he could create. But he definitely is creative. He's got a natural flamboyance about him. And it shows in his designs. He isn't bogged down into one particular style (like Rami is) so Christian draws from whatever is around him. He has got an eye for fashion. And Mr. Cavalli saw Christian's talent as well.

I was a bit surprised how short the dress that Jillian created. It was SHORT! But it was cute. I didn't realize that the judges caught the wonderful gold-matching lining that Jillian had put inside the jacket until Heidi pointed it out. She really appreciated that touch, as did the other judges I'm sure. What a compliment from Mr. Cavalli that he'd want someone like Jillian on his team.

I'm sad to see that Sweet P was voted out. Her dress was not on the same level as the other designs. The judges got it right that her pieces are always wearable. Sweet P is very conscious of making her pieces as comfortable as possible. I definitely would wear her stuff. It's just that she's not at the same place as the others. She put on a great run on the show. She's great. I hope she wins fan favorite!!!

I can't wait to see the final few episodes!!!!
