When A Jacket Has A Lace Front

So last night's episode gave us a sneak peek at what the final "four" had been working on and then the final showdown between Chris and Rami. First of all, have I mentioned that I love Christian? He sleeps in a hallway in his tiny apartment. I think it so funny that non-native New Yorkers will make it do wut it do in a beyond cramped space and love it....while paying the equivalent of a mortgage payment for a three bedroom house in rent for 150 sq feet. Meanwhile, most of us Native New Yorkers who can't afford to live where we want in NYC, make a beeline straight for Jersey.

Anyway, it was great to see a lil background on the designers. Christian's designs looked a bit extra, so I hope he took Tim's advice and rezugshed with an editor's eye. Jillian's family was so Long Island but I love how supportive they are of her. Her pieces look fab, especially that jacket, but I wasn't surprised by her looks. She's proven she can make anything. I am really looking forward to seeing both of their collections.

And then there is Chris. First of all, he lost weight. Yay for Chris! Secondly, human hair Chris?! I knew Chris was going home...even before watching Project Runway last night. Chris, as he stated a few times last night, is a costume designer whose creativity and thought process is larger than a high fashion runway. He managed to show that he had high fashion ability in various challenges, but in the end, he wanted to be true to himself and this is why Chris is out. Stepping outside the box, for some, isn't always a good thing. Chris is going on to do major things with his work and more in line with what he's great at. So no tears were shed.


Rami, who doesn't look anything like he looked when he was a little boy, proved that he was more than a dress draper and added new details and construction to his pieces. Overall, Rami is high fashion, and he deserved to show his collection at Fashion Week.

Until next week.....
