Seth Aaron's dress was most definitely costumey. It looked like something Willy Wonka would wear, or someone from Alice in Wonderland. Not his best work, even if it was made well. I do think he deserves to go on, though. His tailoring is always amazing, and I love his drawings. He always puts faces on his designs which are pretty original.

I think Emilio is definitely talented, but I didn't care for his arrogance, or the way he seems so above Tim. I was kind of hoping they'd give him a little criticism this time, just to bring his ego down a bit. It's great to be confident, but the line between it and arrogance is pretty thin.

I wasn't crazy about Mila's design, but she's also been pretty consistent and is great at fit and tailoring.

Jay's jacket was reminiscent of Michael Jackson.

I thought Tim actually told Emilio that he needed more color at the top and Emilio totally blew him off until the last minute where he realized that the top was really too black.

Though I liked Emilio's dress, I really wasn't fond of the polka-dot trim. And I actually liked Seth's outfit. I've seen tons of pics from runway shows of amazing outfits that take my breath that are too 'costumey' and that people would not wear in public. I think sometimes those are the best things to see, and shows the actual talent that the designer has. And it's fun to see some freaky stuff just for the wow factor.

I dug Jay's pants, but didn't he get in trouble just last week about the volume he gives to the le derrière? I hear a Sir Mix-a-Lot song coming...

Yup, Jay's had his voluminous pants commented on a couple of times before. He did say he likes big butts, but that doesn't mean those of us who might wear his fashions do!

I liked the polka dot trim on Emilio's gown. What I wasn't fond of was the poufiness above it. But I thought the sheer fabric of the dots really softened the starkness of the black/white stripes.

I liked Seth Aaron's jacket. I would wear that jacket. Not every day, mind you, but I would wear it with something much simpler underneath.

Mila chosen over Jay tonight for third slot at fashion week, along with Seth (yay!) and Emilio.

Do we know if Jay's collection actually walked the catwalk even though he's officially "out"? I am not clear on the timing this year; in past years others were left in as decoys.

I thought Jay's three piece collection was awful. He never listened when the judges would tell him he needed to NOT add volume to certain areas of a woman's body. I don't want my hips to look bigger than they are!

And of the two, I would wear all three of Mila's outfits as they were. I wouldn't wear Jay's (only bits and pieces of them).

did anyone else get the feeling that Tim does not care for Emilio? the way he spoke with him on the home visit seemed rather confrontational for Tim and he hugged all the others in the hotel but just sort had an awkward moment with Emilio.

Tim hasn't cared for Emilio all season--the judges have given him win after win and Mr Gunn never has a word of praise for Mr Sosa. I have said it before, but I'll say it again: Mr Gunn's aesthetic is too stodgy at this point, which is why he's attracted to the very retro designs Mila and Seth Aaron put out. They design clothes that look like something that might have been popular when Mr Gunn was young.

I liked that Mila last night said that Mr Sosa shouldn't have won the "design your fabric" challenge because his work was too referential toward Stephen Sprouse (which I said at the time)--ummmm....Mila's work is NOTHING but referential. LOL.

Of the clothes I have seen so far, I have liked Seth Aaron's a great deal, even though I have favored Emilio all season.

Beth, Jay DID show at fashion week; like 9 of the designers did because of when the show started airing. I posted a link earlier to the collections....I'll try to find another link and put it up.

Next week's TV Guide has Tim's thoughts on the final four. He did say he thought Emilio's downfall was his ego, although he did say good things about him. The actual quotes are:

"His greatest asset is impeccable execution."

"His greatest obstacle is his ego."

"We're finally seeing the darker side of Emilio and the arrogance about the other designers."

He also said something about scratching his head at how Emilio's been a fave of the judges, and brought up that gawdawful pink bikini thing. Tim said that Emilio talked his way out of that one and the he (Emilio) is a "really good bull----."

Tim also had some interesting comments about Jay. He said Jay always showed the same silhouette all season and whenever Tim brought it up Jay would ignore him and blow off his critiques. I guess Jay eventually apologized to Tim but "the drama never played out on screen." Tim thought that maybe the producers didn't want Tim coming off as the bad guy but Tim said "Well, it's not ME coming off badly." LOL!

For Seth Aaron, Tim was astonished at the 40 looks that Seth had ready. He was worried about the cohesiveness of Seth Aaron's collection and basically told him to stay out of his studio for three days and then go back in and edit.

For Mila, Tim likes that she designs separates and thinks that's a real strength of hers. But he thinks her weakness is the tendency for all black and white. I had to laugh at this though, from Tim. "Reflecting on the judges' call for more color, Gunn has to laugh: 'Everyone one of THEM is dressed in black!'"

Anthony, Emilio, and Mila's collections: Project Rungay

Janeane, Jay, Jonathan, Seth Aaron Project Rungay

[these were posted in the order they showed, I think, which is why we have people who were auffed months ago with the finalists--the bloggers simply didn't know who made it and who didn't]

The Rungay boys agree with me that Jay, not Mila, should have gone last night. In fact, they thought his was the winning collection when they showed in Bryant Park: comments on last night

Tish, but didn't Tim keep criticising Emilio's collection for looking old?
Interesting comments, Cost.

I was surprised they picked Mila over Jay cause he was 'edgier', but I did like her collection better. I loved what Seth Aaron showed Tim, but I understood his point.

Yeah, because they looked 40s or something. But Mila's look 60s and Seth Aaron's look early 80s. So: it's old if it happened when Mr Gunn wasn't born, but OK if he was younger and more attractive. [I just looked him up....surprised he was born in 1953. He strikes me as much older. It's sorta perfect that he works for Claiborne now]. I'd always loved Mr Gunn, but he came off very badly this season.

And here's what Anthony says about Mr Gunn, not that I take everything he says as truthful [ Entertainment Weekly]:

The judges made a big deal about your choice of polyester. I was surprised too. Why did you go for polyester?
It was not my exact choice. The original fabric that I selected was a cobalt taffeta blue, which was the color this fall. But when I was in Mood, I remembered Tim Gunn walking in and saying, “Taste, Anthony, taste.” He kept questioning my taste. I think back and Tim Gunn [hated] everything I did, but the people that he loved all got eliminated before me. So if I can tell anybody anything going on Project Runway: Don’t ever listen to Tim Gunn and never second-guess yourself.

Really? Don’t listen to Tim Gunn?
Don’t listen to Tim Gunn. I’ll give you a great example. Jonathan, when we did the second Heidi Klum challenge, the one that I won, ohhh Tim was just worshipping him, [saying] “Oh my god, this is so amazing, she’s gonna love it.” Fifteen minutes later, she walks in and says, “Oh my god, what would ever make you think [I'd like] this?” And Tim stood his ass there and didn’t even open his mouth. He didn’t say a word! No, honey. Any contestant trying to go on Project Runway, know who you are, and pay these blogs no attention because they’re just the people that nobody likes because they have bad attitudes. I’m really at the point where I’m sick of these blogs. I’m like, honey, get a life. It’s just television.

Jimmer, it was Jay. Mila was chosen to be the third one officially presenting her whole collection on the runway.

I was accidentally spoiled. Looked at Twitter for the first time in awhile and Marcellas from BB whatever had tweeted that we should follow Mila and from that, before I quickly closed the window, I could see people congratulating her.. I had just gotten halfway into the show.

Jay must really really love pear shaped women (yes I know he is gay, but he loves to design to make women pear shaped.). I did like some of what he did, though.

I'm actually not sure I agreed with the decision, and I've been a bigger fan of Mila than Jay. But bottom line is I didn't see anything new from Mila. Yeah her lines were great. Great I always said I think she is the most marketable designer this season for the real woman. But all I hear over and over is how a successful designer must be fashion forward. She wasn't, he was IMHO.

Would I wear his stuff? Heck no. But I wouldn't want to wear most of what goes down the runway. I do think when the judges said, who would be the more interesting collection to see more of, they all agreed Jay. Plus the fact the one successful designer judge, Michael Kors, clearly strongly favored Jay said a lot to me.

I thought after seeing both of them they might just say to let both show. I think of all the showdowns this was the hardest and both had pros and cons. I'm just not sure that I think Mila had more "pros." I certainly don't see her being the most innoventive or fashion forward in any way.

One more point in general. I found this years designers to be the ones, by far, most unopen to Tim's advice and so sure of themselves, even when he had some excellent input. Their ego's, in general, annoyed me for most of the show. And thought it was telling that you didn't see Tim breaking bread w/Emilio and his family. I really think they can't stand each other lol

Emilio's ego has really gotten out of control the last few episodes. I wouldn't want to break bread with him either!

Emilio's ego just hit the ocean and caused a tsunami! Big.. oh yeah. And I think he started talking like that early but I just took it as a pep talk to himself but as time went on it did seem to be pure arrogance.

Heh.. just saw a little "review/preview" in Entertainment Weekly..


quote:

Season Finale: At press time, we only knew the final four, but our highly developed fashionista intuition tells us it's gonna be Mila, Seth Aaron, and Emilio duking it out for the season crown tonight (April 22). We'd love to tell you that the delightful Anthony makes a second triumphant return and replaces Emilio, who should have been auf'd weeks ago for that hideous Pepto-Bismol string bikini. Alas, we cannot. So we're rooting for likeable oddball Seth Aaron and his Harajuku-meets-Nina Hagen couture. Besides, two first names are always better than one!

I want Seth Aaron to win, too! Glad to read that, Sea.

I am bummed because something seems to be up with my lifetime channel. I recorded this show when it was on and went to watch it last night and the digital cable was all garbled. Then I saw it was on again last night, tried to watch it, and same deal. The station was all garbled. I need to call the cable company today. Anyone else have this happen? I have the wonderful (sarcasm) Time Warner cable.

I'm rooting for Seth Aaron as well. I liked Mila's collection. It's funny how they always give the designers a hard time for using just black and white, but the ones that do, they always end up saying their collection is cohesive. Seems less risky to just go with that, than to try to add color.

I thought Jay did a pretty good job on his outfits as well. I was kind of hoping they'd let all four show, just so I could see the rest of his collection.

I think if you follow Tishala's links you CAN see Jay's whole collection.
