The season finale of the fifth season has viewers anticipating collections from four outstanding designers Kenley Collins, Jerrell Scott, Korto Momolu, and Leanne Marshall. These designers, having survived twelve grueling challenges, are obviously cream of the crop, considering that the judges have changed the rules in order to allow all four to move on to the final round.The last challenge, a project which required each designer to search the New York Botanical Gardens to find inspiration for an evening gown, had judges boggled. Collins' defensive attitude only worsened the judge's reception to her tasteless, pink skin tight queen of the lizard's gown. Even though Jerell's low cut, bejeweled design was intriguing, his less than perfect execution made judge Michael Kors' nervous about a final runway show. Leanne's creative ruffled accents made distinct her periwinkle dress, but the judges were hard to impress. And for once, Korto's creation dissapointed judges with what appeared to be a cliched chest-bearing pageant gown. Her bold orange fabric was laid to waste by an overall negative reception. So it was an interesting twist when viewers found out that despite Kenley's brashness to the judges, she would be allowed to advance and that there would be four finalists in the final competition. The next episode is a bit of a mystery but the judges will be narrowing down the group and deciding who will be the final three to show collections for Bryant Park Fashion Week.
Based on what I've seen of these designers' work, this will be the most visually stimulating and genuinely creative collections in this history of Project Runway. And thanks to a class cancellation (woo-hoo!!), I will be able to catch the first part of the Season Finale on Wednesday night October 8th with the rest of the addicts. Can't wait.
