Ripping the Collections: Joe, Part 2 Nov03

Ripping the Collections: Joe, Part 2

It’s just a dress. Nothing particularly interesting about it except it’s rendered in an ugly fabric and topped off with an ugly belt. It couldn’t be any more basic. It’s almost-kinda-sorta cute. The tight mini is out of style and we don’t love the fabric he used...

Ripping the Collections: Joe, Part 1

If you’re settling in for a rip-fest on par with Suede’s or even Jerell’s, you’re in for a bit of a surprise. Don’t get us wrong; there’s plenty here to rip and we’ll get to it, but upon examination, we came to the conclusion that Joe’s...

Ripping the Collections: Suede, Part 2

It gets worse in the second half, if you can believe it, kittens.     People keep asking if the decoys had the same amount of time and the same budget that the final 3 had. We can look at this and confidently say “No.” Clearly Suede had about 20 minutes and 12 dollars to...

Ripping the Collections: Jerell, Part 2

    We’ll give him credit for going for something simple (at least compared with the rest of the collection). We still don’t like the dress, though. The fabric is ugly and cheap-looking and we’re just not feeling those sleeves.     Again, it’s a...

Ripping the Collections: Jerell, Part 1

Say what you will about the sometimes bullshitty judging on this show – god knows we have – but there was a clear demarcation between the decoys and the finalists and it seemed that practically everyone in the tent knew who the decoys were by the lower quality of their...

Ripping the Collections: Leanne, Part 1

Darlings, this is easily one of our all-time favorite Project Runway collections. We said we hadn’t been this happy for a PR winner since Jay McCarroll won it in Season 1. There’s a reason for that: like Jay’s, this collection demonstrated an explosive, unique creativity...

Ripping the Collections: Korto, Part 2 Oct21

Ripping the Collections: Korto, Part 2

  A very pretty, if somewhat simple dress. Love the pleating on the bodice. Not all that crazy about the fact that she needs both hands to walk in the dress but maybe that’s just us.     This is one of our favorite looks in the collection. All the proportions are just...

Ripping the Collections: Korto, Part 1

We honestly assumed that Korto was going to win based on the editing of the last episode and we’re going to admit that we would have been a little upset if she had. We think her collection was beautiful and dramatic but we also felt it suffered from some problems that in our opinion...

Ripping the Collections: Kenley, Part 2 Oct18

Ripping the Collections: Kenley, Part 2

    It pains us once again to admit that one of her least out-there looks is also one of our favorites. We don’t like the rope at the hem at all but we kind of love the feathered collar. We heard more than one person in the tent refer to this as Kenley’s “Laura...

Ripping the Collections: Kenley, Part 1

Well kittens, we have a lot of ground to cover so let’s get started, shall we? As we said earlier, we didn’t respond well to Kenley’s collection. Put bluntly: it just ain’t our thing. Still, that doesn’t make it a bad collection by any means. Putting out what she...
