Project Runway Recaps: Last night's "Finale Part 1" Episode--Sugar Daddies, Rachel Zoe, Clunky Shoes and Bad Wigs

Final Four...Still

We're almost at the end, kiddies. This week's Project Runway Season 10 episode, entitled "Finale, Part 1", dealt with the top four finalists of this season--Dmitry Sholokhov, Fabio Costa, Melissa Fleis and Christopher Palu--getting their so-called "Final Challenge" (so-called because you never know if next week will bring a "Twist" and maybe yet another final-final challenge)--which is to design their Mercedes-Benz NY Spring 2013 Fashion Week mini-collection with $9,000 and five weeks. In case you guys wonder what happens to those collections, the designer's don't even own them; the show does. And then they go up for auction. So, you could buy your collection back, I guess (if you are one of the designers). Anyhow, several things stood out from this episode, and I wish I could say that the outstanding clothes was one of those things, but sadly, they were not. As always, I will finish this blog with my Recap...

Let's Begin With:

Who Are Dmitry and Fabio's Sugar Daddy? Seriously. The designers went "home" , yet for two of the designers--Dmitry and Fabio--they admitted to Tim (when he visited) that they were "using" their "friend's places" while designing their collections (and I'm assuming to live there as well). Needless to say, these places were FAB-u-LOUS! From the looks of it, Dmitry and Fabio do not need the $100,000 prize money and should just ask these friends for "loans"--or make them their "Business Associates".

First, Tim checks in on Fabio--who is in a MASSIVE (for New York City standards) Manhattan loft/apartment where he is working on his pastel colored "Cosmic Tribalism" collection. Even Tim notes on the size and niceness of the place.

Then, he's off to Jersey City, New Jersey where again, another designer--Dmitry--says a "friend" lent him this fabulously appointed place to make his collection.

Tim also goes to Massapequa, NY--this time to check in on Christopher Paul where he lives (I think) with his mom and dad. I've dubbed Palu the "Golden Boy" of the season and he's also the "Taylor Swift" of the season, in that EVERY SINGLE TIME he wins, he does this "Awe shucks, really? Me??" By the third time, it got a little schticky. He's still cute though.

To finish his Season 10 Home Visits Tour, Tim Gunn heads West, to San Francisco to see Melissa. He checks on her collection, meets the family and takes a boat ride. If it was me, I would've taken him to a Leather Bar in the Castro. Just sayin'.

Three Looks, Zero Styling...

After five weeks, the designers return to NYC to face the judges and show three of their "best" looks, to see who really will continue on to Lincoln Center. No guest judges this time (like in Season 9), just Nina, Michael and Heidi:

They all have positives and negatives to say but in general, they all feel that some styling help is very much needed. Dmitry, Fabio, Christopher AND Melissa all had styling issues--whether it was a too-clunky shoe, bad wigs, hoochie ensembles...it was a big letdown.

I'm really wondering if next week, Rachel Zoe is coming in for a quick "intervention" prior to the Finale Fashion Show at Mercedes-Benz NY Fashion Week. But then, I realized "wait, she's on another network...that ain't happening!". So, let's go through the TOP FOUR Finalists' designs:

Christopher Palu:

I really like Christopher (I don't know him personally but I mean his designs)--and I think what he showed was SO Junior Department. I mean Forever 21 ALREADY has this in their stores. It's not a bad thing unless you're trying to show innovative, break-through, heart-pumping FASHION (with a Capital "F").

Christopher Palu or Forever 21?

A chiffon v-neck tank and leather shorts. Seriously? No wonder the judges were frustrated. I was too.

Dmitry Sholokhov:

Dmitry showed very elegant, chic pieces. The ivory sheath dress with sheer panels was superb and I liked the jacket on the right but...

This ensemble was a mess. Those pants are SWIMMING on the model. About two sizes too big. If you are going to do loose/slouchy, do it. But this is a bad fit. And together with the sheer top and bra...Ayyy Dios Mio! Rachel Zoe: Dmitry needs you.

Fabio Costa:

A) I liked the color splashes here and there (you know I LOVE me some color!).

B) I liked this uniquely draped dress and the necklace was sooo Italian Gallery Owner Diva, but...yeah, those wigs. At first, they were pretty cool, kinda Haider Ackermann-meets-Tilda Swinton but I can understand why Michael Kors felt that they were a bit distracting. Speaking of distracting:

Those shoes!! Grey lace-up booties for Spring 2013. Not sure. And with a loosely draped easy-breezy Summer side-cowl dress? Not so muchey.

Melissa Fleis:

Melissa's three looks were a big disappointment. Hot shorts again (like Christopher). This time, shown with a scoop-cut-out knit sweater top. And a BAD wig. Then, there was this cropped jacket with an oversized collar and cuffs. CUT those cuffs off. Please. And the slouchy drop-crotch pants. Cute on skinny gay boys. Not so much on the model.

Oh, yes, she also did a dress. That a girl can already find at your local Macy's. I am sure. Now, about those wigs: PLEASE Melissa, I really hope you rethink this...

Oh Wait! She did!! (Yeayyy!!) Above is a photo from Mercedes-Benz NY Fashion Week and one of the looks from Melissa's finale collection. And it looks like she also got rid of them "Fashion School Student 101" oversized cuffs...and re-did the pants as well. Thank Goodness.

And now---here's my Recap---Enjoy!! And don't forget to leave me YOUR comments on the MyLifetime.com site--right after my blog:

Calling All Stylists!

Well kids, we're heading to the end of Season 10 of "Project Runway"
and I learned several things from this penultimate "Finale Part 1"
episode. For one, most of these kids (save Melissa) do not have a place
to call home or their own place to work. Secondly, I learned that a
stylist is a very important job and someone ALL these designers needed. I
also think that this pre-finale episode is in serious need of a reboot.
Wondering what I mean about that? Keep reading...

Don't Be Safe

Last week we saw the end of Sonjia, with her table-napkin-meets-bad-figure-skating-costume design. As I argued in my last recap,
there was nothing avant-garde about her design, nor the designs of most
of the other four. (Note to producers: Maybe it's time to re-name that
particular challenge). I also discussed my annoyance at seeing very safe
looks from all these designers. I think I am echoing what Tim, Nina,
Heidi and Michael feel EVERY episode. It goes without saying that I
think "safe" just doesn't cut it, especially at this stage. Need I
remind you? DO NOT BORE NINA. So now we are down to the top four.

Congrats! You're The Top Four

Our dear Heidi congratulates the designers for making it this far and
tells them that they will each be given $9,000 and five weeks to create a
mini-collection for Mercedes-Benz NY Fashion Week. That's the good
news. The not-so-good news is that NOT everyone is guaranteed a spot in
Fashion Week. Or so she says. As an avid viewer/fan/former
contestant/perpetual recapper of the show, I've heard this song from
Heidi before. Can anyone say "Season 9"? But oh well, we'll stick to the
script, Miss Heidi.

Massapequa X-ray

Four weeks later and Tim Gunn is off to visit the designers. No trips to Trinidad and Tobago (Anya) or Hawaii (Andy South) this time around. So...

Secrets between Kanye West,Marc Jacobs, The Chanel exhibition

Magyarul ITT

My name is Angel Barta, I'm writer and fashion designer. Marc Jacobs has been stealing my ideas for 5 years. He fooled me with love and kept me in psychological torture. He is a cruel Godfather behind his funny Sponge Bob Mask.

Let me unfold a few secret connections between Marc Jacobs, Kanye West and Hungarians. Marc Jacobs has been using my talent for 5 years. He steals my ideas (and talented artists ideas from my country) not only for himself but for his friends also. For example his long-time friend Sofia Coppola copied my photos and my style for the Miss Dior Cherie Campaign. Read it here with evidences.

Have you heard that Kanye West recently stole a more than 40 years old Hungarian song?

Kóbor János the singer of Omega claimed he will sue Kanye for sampling Gyönyhajú Lány(The organs from New Slaves) and not crediting them.He already hired an international lawyer to start the confrontation. They can't sue Kanye yet because it was only played on walls and on SNL and it's not official. But if it mades the Album he promised he will step in the ring.
It's funny because the 66 buildings experience was filmed on the singer's 70th birthday.

Many people have identified the sample at use towards the end of the new track that Kanye West premiered on (almost) 66 buildings and Saturday Night Live this past weekend.
The music? A Hungarian band called Omega, who released ”Gyöngyhajú Lány” (translated as The Girl with Pearly Hair) in 1969.
Check Omega above, and listen to that section of "New Slaves" at the three minute mark below.

Kanye is a very good buddy of Marc Jacobs. They have worked together, Kanye designed trainers for Louis Vuitton. He flies all the way to Paris to watch front row every single show of his friend Marc. He even sings the songs Marc asks him to. You remember the Runaway song by Kanye, it was the idea of Jacobs, even the clip was his fantasy.

Jacobs told Kanye to steal that Hungarian song.

Marc introduced me to Kanye when I was at the dinner after his fashion show.

Kanye has tried doing his own line, he designed clothes for women and had his fashion show in Paris. Kanye loves Hungarian women, just like his buddy Marc. So there were some Hungarian models at his fashion show also.

and let's see the Chanel!
Watch the video I recorded at the Little Black Jacket Exhibition in Paris.

Did you know that Marc Jacobs is an ego-maniac,
a real puppet master who wants to manipulate
the whole fashion world?

I was surprised to see that most of the celebrities, whose photos were displayed at the Chanel exhibition, are in tight connection with Marc Jacobs.

You would think that Marc Jacobs has nothing to do with Chanel, but actually he controls the design team there too, not just at Louis Vuitton. He has friends and and ex colleagues at almost every big brand. He wants to control the whole fashion world! Karl Lagerfeld takes the photos in the Chanel campaigns of Marc's favorite models. Marc decides who is the campaigns, who opens and closes the Chanel show. ( for example Cara Delevingne, Marc Jacobs discovered her and supports her from the background.) Jacobs wants to control the entire fashion world. He gives ideas for many brands, not just for Louis Vuitton.He secretely controls Chanel also.

Marc Jacobs has been stealing my ideas for 5 years. He copies my style and photos for many brands.
He fooled me with love promises. I believed him for 2 years, then I started to see clearly that he just used my fresh and unique ideas for his own success. I stopped talking to him and did not give him more ideas and photos. As a revenge to hurt me, he gave all my dreams for other girls from my country. I wrote a book, about the first 2 years of my relationship with him, " The Secret Love Affair in Paris". After he read my book, he knew everything about me. All my dreams and wishes. For example, my book starts with my most ardent wish, to open and close the Chanel fashion show with Lagerfeld. He made that come true for another Hungarian girl, who was 7 cm shorter than the minimum height.

Dakota, the favourite actress of Marc Jacobs. He took her under his wings, when she was only twelwe years old. He even made his collection in children size, so she could fit in the clothes and poise in his MJ ad campaign in the grown up outfits. Dakota is older now, Marc still takes care of her carrier. She is sitting front row at every single Marc Jacobs fashion show.

She is the face of the Marc Jacobs Oh Lola perfume, the ad campaign was banned in the UK,. You can read it here, why.

Her little sister Elle Fanning is participating in the exhibition. She has to poise on the photo the way I do. The picture is a copy of my original idea. (At the Little Black Jacket exhibition you can see the photo of Kanye West right next to picture that was copied after my original photo.)

Elle Fanning is a young actress, she played the main role in the Movie of Sofia Coppola, who is by the way a long time friend and supporter of Marc Jacobs.

In the last 5 years Marc Jacobs has copied hundreds of my photos and ideas. Here are a few of them.

The sisters are wearing most of the time the designs of Marc Jacobs and Katie Grand.

Dakota and Elle Fanning came to Paris just to watch the last show
of their supporter, Marc Jacobs

Marc's girls. Elle and Dakota Fanning, Sofia Coppola and Hailee Steinfeld.

Before Marc left Louis Vuitton he gave a well-paying contract for Sofia Coppola again. Marc counts on Sofia's support. Sofia launched a bag collection for Louis Vuitton.

I'd like to mention an other person, whose photo I saw at the exhibition, and who is a very good friend of Marc. Kristen McMenamy, the grey haired famous model.

She works with Katie Grand most of the time...

Marc loves kissing Kirsten as you see in the photo...

Kirsten was poising in the Louis Vuitton campaign

She was also on the cover of Katie Grand's Love magazine.

Kirsten and Katie Grand, very good friends.

At the latest Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 fashion show, Kirsten's 18 years old daughter, Lily was walking topless wearing nothing but high-waisted shorts. Her first big campaign will be the next Marc Jacobs fall campaign. Read the details on:

If you want to walk the Marc Jacobs runway all you have to do is to satisfy Marc's perverse fantasy
