I love Project Runway. Last night had a few things I really loved. Milla Jovovich was one of them.
My first encounter with her was the movie, The Fifth Element. She was perfect. Her voice, her body, her line, "Chicken." Of course, she was fully clothed and spoke in her own natural voice and accent last night. And her reaction after the elimination was a wince, a cover of her eyes, a big shake of her hands, and the question, "how do you do this every week?"
She dished it out with the rest of the judges, but in the end, showed compassion. I guess she knows her clothing line started in Target, so humility becomes her.
The other surprise, despite what the judges said, were the outfits. I liked all of them. That is usually rare. The dude who was kicked off was done so in the vein of the assignment. It was supposed to be inspiration from a well known spot on the planet. He chose Greece. He made gray, tight fitting pants made apparently of men's suit fabric, and a darling, layered white shirt. Michael Kors said, "nothing says Greece more than men's gray suit fabric." He was right, but I thought the outfit looked great on the lean, lean model. What wouldn't though?
The other two designers on the bottom made outfits that got dissed for lack of creativity. One was for New Mexico and the other was for Hollywood. I loved the New Mexico outfit. It was a short brown skirt and a leather belt with a flowy light turquoise blouse. The proportions were off, the judges said. There was no fantasy about it. My fantasy was, if I looked like that model, I'd wear that. The other designer made beautiful white jeans that looked perfect. They weren't "out there" enough. Jeans are hot but common, and must make a new statement. What does one do with jeans? Heidi said something like "they're not so bad," and Milla said something like, "if this were Project They're Not so Bad, " that would be fine.
How do these designers do all this work in a day, anyway? I admire their hard work and accomplishment. I wouldn't have a clue how to do what they do. Keep up the good work, designers.
