I am afraid you are all going to get a little too accustomed to these mid-week Runway posts, but I cannot help myself because this week is the best week of all weeks ever. Why?! It's Fashion Week, duh. On Friday, Project Runway held their finale challenge at Bryant Park and thanks to some fellow bloggers I have the pictures and the scoop. There are no spoilers til after the jump so if you don't want to know which ten designers (of the 11 left... who didn't show?!) showed collections, do not keep reading. If you do want to know and see a look from each of them, click away and join me in spoilerland, a magical place full of rouching, ombres, sparkles, pointy shoulders and size nothing models.
According to Tim Gunn's video blog a couple weeks ago, 12 designers were coming to New York to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I think they did this so that the top three would not leak, but it seems a bit unfair, doesn't it? Anyway, once Anna got the boot on Thursday night, I figured she would not be showing, so that should leave us with 11 collections by the 11 remaining designers. Oddly, only 10 designers showed. Maya was at the tents, taking in everyone else's collections but she had no show of her own. No one seems to know why Maya was not strutting the runway, but there are a few options. She may be getting auf'ed next week and they felt that one week wouldn't really matter. Maybe she was unable to finish her collection in the time at home or went over budget and could not cut out enough pieces and still have a full collection...or maybe she cheated in some way and was disqualified. That has never happened before but it has come close a couple times. Hmmmm. What do you think??
Alright, enough bad news. I want to see some clothes!!!!!!!!! I picked my most very favorite look from each collection, but if you follow the link on their names, you can check out all the looks.
