Their parents worked as janitors and in factories to give them a better life. We meet his two brothers, Felipe and Nicholas, and they all tell Tim about hard times growing up as the children of immigrants in NYC in the 70s and 80s. Seth Aaron is horrified, but sees the value of it. Get rid of most of it! This will be a huge hit at Bryant Park, Tim says, and you will have people who don’t know your work on their feet – but if you don’t give the judges something they don’t expect, you will never win. Tim loves the gorgeous, sophisticated rocker pieces, but gives Seth Aaron some shocking advice. He intends to hit the tents with way more outfits than he needs and edit them down based on last minute feedback and the particular models he hires, so he’s already got more pieces than necessary. Awesome.Īlso awesome? The coats and jackets Seth Aaron has produced for his collection. Incredibly glorious. He guessed Seth Aaron’s daughter’s stethescope to be fallopian tubes, and spends most of the trampoline time bouncing on his backside. (Seth is also desperate to move them to LA – and honestly, that does seem a better fit for his style and talents.) They make Tim play win lose or draw, and jump on a trampoline. He’s got a son and daughter, who look to be in their young teens, and a lovely relaxed looking wife and mom, and everyone is cool and excited. Tim made his first visit to Seth Aaron, who lives in Vancouver (don’t get excited – Vancouver, Washington) in a cute little blue house with a red door and a “beware attack squirrel” sign. In the presidential suite of a swank hotel, Jay and Mila talk for the first time ever. Then everyone arrives back in NYC Mila and Jay show the judges three looks to encapsulate their collections, and the judges will pick a third finalist from the two of them. In this week’s episode, Tim visits with the four designers and gives them a benefit of his attention and advice. Jay, could you stop extolling the bitchiness of your clothes? Can’t you just say they’re powerful? Gah. (Or the way that Or maybe I just want my kids, and my niece, to be able to watch the show without hearing that word. Or maybe I just don’t like the way female ambition and aggressiveness are immediately equated with bitchiness. Maybe I just don’t personally embrace nastiness as a desirable quality. Small pet peeve when will you fashion folk get over the use of the word bitch? Now, okay. How can it mean anything if everyone gets to show? I don’t know when people get told they’re going to show anyway – clearly the other 6 designers must have been told soon after their auffing or they wouldn’t have been able to complete collections – but still, it sucks the tension right out of the competition. So when Jay and Mila cry about how important it is that they win the final challenge and be the one who goes to Bryant Park, I just cannot feel the drama. This is a little bit like George Bush and the Almost every contestant on this season got to have a show at Bryant Park. Not even the top ten finishers (out of 16), because Maya didn’t make a collection. Guess how many people showed at Bryant Park this year? 10. Since season five, more and more designers get taken along as decoys. (Fine, I don’t know if that’s why, but it seems likely.) The judges were so underwhelmed by Michael Knight’s collection once they saw it that they now reserve the right to see the bits of the final collection before deciding who should show. The next second, fourth place finisher Kara Janx gave a show and blew away the press, which may have helped the judges put have 4 finalists straight through in Season 3 instead of 3. What does that mean, at least as I know it? The first season, it meant that Austin Scarlett got to show as well, although he was apparently too despondent to create a full collection, so it was very clear who was really a finalist. And so, there are the so called decoy collections. Not only do they not want you to know who won, they don’t want the names of the finalists widely reported out here on the internet. The producers would like to keep a little mystery going on. When the tents go up at Bryant Park, we’re only midway through the Project Runway season. E: Can I get something off my chest? Because there’s something about Project Runway that really, really bugs me.
