Ivy has an inflated sense of self. So she's a good seamstress...this isn't Top Seamstress, it's Project Runway. I'm sick and tired of her hoity toity affect like she's too good for the other contestants when she couldn't design her way out of a paper bag. Has she been in the top 3 yet? I don't think so. Half the time she looks like she's sucking on a bitter lemon. Hopefully she'll be auf'd next week so I can stop looking at her. I've given up on the hopes that Gretchen will get kicked.

I hated the outcome of last night's show - I watch it with a friend every week and we were both convinced that Ivy would be gone.

That said, I did like the montage that they included of the auf'ed contestant at the end - I think the expanded coverage allows for more fun like that.

Heidi and Michael Kors both mentioned that Ivy is a seamstress, and does does not appear to be a designer. When they said that, I was sure she was out the door, but alas another week of the Ivy and Gretchen show.

How did Ivy not go home? That thing was soooooo awful!

Project Runway at fashion week is on the web now 10 designers showed collections so that nobody would know who is in the finals. Love Valerie's collection.

well poo, I thought I was going to get an inside scoop!!!!

tootiepie2 · #67 09-10-2010, 07:41 PM

I wouldn't do that, I just got excited. I have loved this show since season one. I kinda obsess over it!!!

I laughed when the judges said Cassanova's outfit was matronly. They may not have liked it, but no 80 year old would have worn that outfit. The off the shoulder look hasn't been worn by any 80 year old woman outside the overly nip/tucked freaks in NYC.

That's sort of what I was thinking too. They said grandmotherly and I went "It would be a cold day in hell before my grandma would wear that." I actually sort of liked it though I didn't get resort from it. I liked it a lot better than Ivy's "oh I had to change my design because he couldn't do it" thing.

The New York Daily News said that there were ten Runway designers with shows. Including Thursday night's show, there were ten designers.

I thought the winning dress was appropriate for a resort ... if a woman was turning tricks.

Someone said that Ivy was a graduate of Parsons. A semester in charm school might help

Nina Garcia said in a previous episode that "there is fashion, and then there are clothes" (or something to that affect) I sincerely doubt that many woman can afford "fashion," but need clothes. Really, how many red carpet events do you go to? I thought so.

I know that the adjective "wearable" is the kiss of death on the show, but I would like to see more realistic designs. Maybe Heidi, Michael, Nina and Tim need to be locked up in a J.C. Penney store overnight.

An earlier poster noted all the bitchiness among the designers. As far as I can tell, one of the few class moments this season has been Peach's departure; she is a class act.

While I adore Project Runway, hell would freeze over before I could afford a hoity toity designers clothing (unless it is Vera Wang for Kohls).

I thought it was funny when the guest judge (whatever her names, I'm blanking right now) said she would wear the winning garment on the red carpet. I thought "hmm be prepared to see yourself in the "worst dress" or "what was she thinking" section of magazines.

I liked Casanova's outfit, it looked incredibly well made (which was a more a tribute to Gretchen than Casanova). While it wasn't "resort" it was 10 times better than Ivy's outfit. Ivy just wanted to piss and moan and blame what's his face (why can't I remember names tonight?).

Pretty happy with results

I LOVED both of Mondo's designs. They were my fave.

I liked Ivy's pieces too (my 2nd fave).

I actually thought both of Gretchen's dresses were fug (weird because I have liked her previous designs). I didn't expect the judges to like them so much.

bostongreek · #74 09-24-2010, 08:33 AM

I liked Gretchen's ready to wear dress, but the high fashion one was awful. Especially the styling.

I liked Mondo's, but I think Andy should have taken this challenge.

AOII Angel · #75 09-24-2010, 10:00 AM

Buh bye! Bridesmaid dresses weren't quite as bad as the bride, but I'm excited to see her go. Gretchen's esthetic is so stuck in the 70's, and I'm not a fan. Both of those pieces were HUGE and swallowed her models. The "high fashion" model looked like she was ready to sing Kumbaya.
