The second season of Project Runway continues to be just as good as the first. Tonight featured a very clever product tie-in: designers had to create an outfit for Mattel's My Scene Barbie. The winning designer not only moved on in the competition, but Mattel would also make a limited edition doll wearing their outfit. How cool is that?
I love so many things about this show, but one of them is the way that the designers lean on each other throughout the challenges. What I mean by that is that even though they're competing with each other, they help each other and give advice and feedback. I don't think they really mean to. I think they just kind of forget that it's not in their best interest to help their competition and they get caught up in the creative process and they just can't help themselves.
That collaborative instinct is one reason that I kind of wish that Marla, rather than Raymundo, had been Auf Widersehen'ed tonight. Marla seems like a nice woman and a good designer, but she lacks the technical skills to complete her designs. So, she leans on the rest of the designers for help. Her stress leads to their stress and frustration.
But, on the other hand, I'd rather watch people fail because of a lack of vision than because of a lack of seams. And that's why Raymundo was eliminated. He envisioned Barbie as some kind of matronly figure that girls would aspire to. Say what you will about Michael Kors, but the man hit it on the head when he remarked that there was nothing "deliciously girly" about Raymundo's design. It was ugly and boring. Marla's cranberry design was matronly too, but it wasn't boring.
On a positive note, the winner of the challenge was the delightful Nick. Nick made a cute dress with a green bodice and a crazy striped skirt that was much shorter in the front than in the back. It was very Carmen Miranda. I loved it. I also loved the fact that even though the judges praised Santino for his design (which I didn't really like) he still through a mini temper tantrum offstage when Nick beat him. What a baby.
My personal top there were Nick's winning outfit, Chloe's shimmery pink dress and the near-invisible Daniel Vosovic's funky purple dress and jacket (the back of that jacket was way cool). I'm starting to like Chloe more and more. On the flip side, in addition to Raymundo and Marla, I also hated Andrae's orange bubble skirt and Zulema's utteringly boring silky off white skirt and top. Blech.
But, don't take my word for it, check out the designs on Bravo's Project Runway site.
Oh, and a final note. My real favorite outfit of the evening was Heidi's turquoise frock that she wore for the runway show. Pregnancy certainly suits her.
