I'm sorry for the belated post this week. It just so happens that the unconventional challenge was during an unconventional week for me. Last week was finals week, and one of my finals really wore me down. I pulled off A's in both of those classes, so I'm pretty stoked! Now onto PR!
This week on Project runway it was my favorite challenge! The unconventional challenge! This year the designers had to use resources from a pet supply store. I have to admit I was really creeped out when Bert looked at Tim Gunn and asked if the pets were off-limits :o I'm gonna hope he was just joking about that, haha. I can't really remember much of the happenings on the show right now so I can't give a full summary of my thoughts, but I will do my best.
Anthony Ryan - I think his dress was fabulous and definitely feel he should have been the winner. The neckline of his dress made me think of the Alexander McQueen dress pictured below. What I really liked about him is that he really challenged himself from the beginning to think outside of the box. His dress I agree was a little to short, but at least it fit his model perfectly.
Anya - She really just keeps surprising me. I have no clue how she keeps pulling all her outfits off, but each time she produces something really trendy and different. I remember 2 hours before the runway I believe all she had was the crossing ropes on her mannequin nothing else. I think the only thing I would have changed about her outfit is making her top just a little bit longer.
Becky - I was really surprised that Becky's dress didn't make it into the top 3, I felt hers turned out really great and would wear it given the chance.
Bert - I think he would have gone home this week without his immunity and I agree with the comment that his model looked like a hooker.
Bryce - I don't know how he is still here, but come on! If you are one PR I'm sure you have been watching PR and the judges were right, we see this dress every year. Every year this dress is on the bottom, and I also agree with whichever contestant it was that said it looked like a bunch of wee wee pads and it would serve its purpose if there were any dogs around.
Cecilia - I liked her design this week, but I still don't think I'm going to be a huge fan of her in the end.
Danielle - her design really shocked me this week. She seems like such a conservative person and then she sent this outfit down the runway, I felt her outfit could be a part of a fashion show and was very trendy. I'm really surprised her outfit didn't make the top either.
Fallene - I actually liked her outfit, but I have taken note that if I'm ever on PR don't put Orange and brown together. The judges hate that color palette. I felt bad for her because Tim praised the outfit and never said anything to her about it.
Josh - I think if this outfit had walked the runway during another challenge he would have been safe, but this is the unconventional challenge and at least the other 2 in the bottom tried to use different materials to create their pieces.
Other Josh- I loved his outfit, I didn't like him adding the mirror. I'm hoping this isn't a sign that in the future he might have a problem with editting down. I loved the pattern he made with the rocks and how the rocks reflected the light so well. He also created a very different silhouette and risky one at that. If he'd done any proportion just a little off it could have turned into a disaster.
Julie - I have high hopes for her, but I felt she deserved to be in the bottom this week. the dress was just all wrong, ill proportioned and despite the weaving it looks like she'd wrapped a dogfood bag around herself.
Kimberly - I liked her design as well, I wish we would have heard more from her during the show.
Laura- I think she is another one of my favorites on the show, and I loved her idea with the dog collars, and also how when it didn't work out she didn't beat herself over it she just said oh well and moved on to plan B. I think she really has a great attitude and some great ideas to go along with it.
Olivier- I did not like his outfit at all. I felt the top was ill-fitted, the colors didn't go well together and could have been a little boring, the eyebrows were overkill, and for an unconventional challenge I would like to see the winner as someone who only used unconventional materials. all in all didn't like his work this challenge, but I do like him as a person. I really wish the judges would listen more to Heidi it seems like nina always gets her way.
Viktor - While I did like Viktors design and can't believe his dress was wee wee pads, I feel that I could walk into any fad store and by this dress on the racks, I think that's why he didn't make the top, his design wasn't out of the box enough.
Now for my design, I can't guarantee that this would have been my design if I were on the show, but I've been so excited this past week about football season that when I sat down to design my thoughts kept coming back to Alabama. Therefore here is my design...
I would have bought plants and rocks in red white and black colors. Plan A would be to do the top in a crimson fern, the belt in a really shiny black rock, and the bottom dress I would create a houndstooth pattern hopefully with the rocks if that didn't work out I'd attempt to do it with the plants.
I know this is already a long post, but on the thoughts of unconventional I read this link today and its wedding dressed made completely out of balloons. I thought it was really interesting and that you guys and girls would enjoy it :D
