CONCRETE RUNWAY

PROJECT RUNWAY ALL-STARS FINALE: MICHAEL

I wasn’t crazy about Michael’s collection. It’s not that it was a bad collection by any means but it was a little too commercial and too already done. He didn’t give us anything new. Yes, his pieces were pretty but I felt like I’d seen them on a DVF or Michael Kors runway already and I was really rooting for him. I did love the vests he put on the models and the safari theme. I also loved the different animal prints he used.

PROJECT RUNWAY ALL-STARS FINALE: AUSTIN

My other favorite collection. I liked Austin’s showmanship and detail but, compared to Mondo’s collection, his was completely unsellable. The detail and work that went into is collection in such a short amount of time is amazing. I don’t get why he did the wedding dress in the end because it didn’t seem like his story had anything to do with a wedding. I agree he had too many ideas in one collection but there were alot of pieces I really liked. He seemed really bitter that he lost on the After The Runway, almost as if he didn’t want to be there. Poor Austin.

PROJECT RUNWAY ALL-STARS FINALE: MONDO

So Mondo was the winner of Project Runway All-Stars and I’m happy for him. I feel like his story’s come full circle as he was robbed of the win of his own season. I was conflicted because I didn’t know if I wanted Mondo or Austin to win. Mondo’s collection was very edgy and creative and, of course, jam packed with prints. I agree with the judges that Mondo has a tendency to add embellishment that makes things look slightly childish. I wasn’t as crazy about his fabric choices as I was with the finale from his season but he’s always been one of my favs so good for him!
