Project Runway Season 2, Episode 1

My Take:

Living up the the talent in season 1 was never going to be easy. However, our contestants actually had an idea what to expect so it should be a little easier for them, right? Well, you certainly wouldn't think so from the results we saw. These designers had 8 days, as well as a very defined task before them. The results underwhelmed me.

I think some designers have a hard time expressing in one look their aesthetic, and doing it well. I will grant you that Muslin is not the absolute best fabric to work with. Most designers use it solely to establish fit for garments. It is a cheap fabric and it can be hard to make Muslin look good. But is it too much to ask that a top designer be able to pull it off?

Well, here is my take on the matter:

Who should have won:
Nick

Who should have gone home:
Lupe

Marla


Most of the outfits were very basic, which was to be expected given the materials for the exercise, but there was some good work. But it has to be said it's a good thing these designers picked up their game because if we had remained at this level of talent the whole season, I would have been pissed.
