I'm obsessed with Anna, and I fear it may be clouding my judgment, but I absolutely love her geometric monstrosity? There is no way anyone could ever sit comfortably in the inverted triangle skirt Anna sends down the runway, but it's the runway-who cares! The abstract white and maroon print is gorgeous, and the styling of her model is so chic. Her model looks fantastic in the navy and lilac vest, jacket, and trousers, highlighted by tiny pops of yellow flowers.Īaron’s three-piece fit combines a pale yellow puff-sleeve overshirt above a crop top and wide-leg pants, all in a red floral border pattern. Shall we dive in?įirst is Shantall's three-piece suit, which happens to feature the least floral print of the group-yet one of the more sophisticated designs. “I don’t know, girl, you’re makin’ up your own thing.”īy the time everyone makes it to the runway, it's already evident who will have a winning look and who's lost themselves amongst the bright colors. “Well, it’s not a ding-dong!” Christian cries. “You’re making me nervous about the ding-dong down here,” Sabrina says of her vaginal print. And when he worries Sabrina's empowering burqa-cum-jumpsuit shows a tad too much emphasis on the crotch, she tacks on an enormous skirt rather than tastefully adjusting her fabric. The execution of his advice is what causes his mentees to fall apart at the seams.) When he recommends Katie abandon her clown pant for an elevated dress, she practically tears her fabric to pieces trying to assemble a ruched miniskirt that resembles a crumpled grocery bag. (To be clear, this isn't Christian's fault. What's interesting, however, about Christian's prowl around the workroom this episode is that it inadvertently causes the meltdowns of no fewer than two designers. “I am a tipsy girl,” Darren says, with visible delight. “Maybe you love a tipsy girl,” Christian suggests, by way of a backhanded compliment. John that my mom pulled out of the bin.” Katie's clown pants are “Doris Day goes to the mall.” Prajje's print is leaning a little “couch-y,” and Kristina's robe is “bag lady in couture fabrics.” Finally, Christian reunites with his beleaguered admirer, Darren, in time to inform him that the designer's skirt seems fitting for a certain sort of Palm Beach woman “who's had too much to drink and now is kinda dizzy.” As he pops from table to table, he finds new and inventive ways to torture. Sabrina is attempting something akin to a “deconstructed poppy” while Chasity fuses feminine pinks and purples with the rough texture of leather and grommets.īack on the hunt for outfits to eviscerate, Christian is absolutely on one this episode. Shantall selects a checker print as the backdrop for her cascading petals Katie draws a color palette from a spiky pincushion protea. My girl Anna dives headfirst into arts and crafts, dipping her blossoms in paint and stamping them on paper, while Kristina sprawls out on the pavement, where Katie tosses a bouquet into the air for her to photograph mid-flight. From the moment they see the piles of stems arranged throughout the workroom, the young hopefuls are all screeching with excitement, but they only have an hour and a half to work with a graphic designer to craft their print. In episode 4, “Flower Power,” our remaining designers are asked to create their own floral fabrics, drawing inspiration from the installations of Lewis Miller, mastermind behind the “flower flash,” in which the artist adorns Manhattan staples-trucks, stop signs, traffic lights, even trash cans-with bursting blooms. So, I came into this week's Project Runway eager but armed with a pair of figurative garden shears. Overwhelmingly, yes, flower prints are gorgeous-but they can quickly veer into the territory of wallpapers and couch fabrics if a designer doesn't maintain a wary eye. It is a truth universally acknowledged that there are good florals, and there are bad florals.
