Bernard Chandran can go DIE

How was Project Runway finale?

It is exactly like Intec's Speech Night results.
Disappointment.
Unfairness!

I've been waiting all season round to witness Alex being crowned as the best designer!

But what happened?? What happened??

Before tonight's episode, I really thought all three of them will put up a good show. Ok, they did. But I expected it to be a more intense competition; a competition among three really distinctive sets of designs.

---------

At first I really have high expectations for Felix' designs. The idea of 'transformers' sounds great to me.
"Nothing is really what you see" <-- A great slogan for a collection right?

Throughout the competition, we've seen a lot of designs that are kinda "tranformer-ish". These multi-purpose 3 in 1 designs are really cool, not to mention very feasible too, esp for busy city people. Yes, everything is fast fast fast for these busy citizens. Just imagine that if you need to attend an evening cocktail party right after your work and you have no time to go back home and get changed again, what would you do? Fret not, if you have one of these transform-able dress, all you need to do is just loosen up a button, pull up your collar and then tada... your office wear would change to an evening party wear in just seconds.

I thought Felix' designs are going to be somewhere along this line. With his model pulling this in, pulling that out, and then take off a pin from the hair and do the 360 degrees swing of hair (like the rejoice painting ad) before walking back from the runway. But no, nothing like that on the runway. Sigh.. what a let down. None of his design "transform". Besides, his designs are actually kinda commonplace. Nice but not outstanding. His usual designs in the competition are better. A de-provement indeed.


-------- Then there's Hatta Doughnut Dolmatt. Honestly, I was really worried for him! I like his idea, but I was afraid others might find it boring or dated. Yea, kinda worried his designs would look dated. Last week epi when the host visited his house, the 1st dress he finished didn't really appeal much to me. Nonetheless, I still have faith in him cos the idea of his design is the kind of design I would from him. Very Hatta-ish.

And...... I was right. His collection on the runway today is superb! It's romantic, fairy tale-ish and barbie doll-ish. Yep, the models are like walking barbie dolls! The flower at the bottom of the skirt, the erected sunflower petalled collar, beautiful, just beautiful! Stunning collection indeed!

--------

Now now now.. what about Alex?

Alex' designs were the most innovative of all. Urban and bold. The 1st dress up was already a powerful one. The dress looks good front and back. It's like double surprise for me. I was impressed when the model came out, and when she turned around O_O. Even the back of the dress is extraordinary. As her models came out one by one, you can see the progress of her designs, changing gradually towards the end. It's almost like witnessing evolution taking place!! lol... The last dress in line was really striking. The tiny bulu2 on the dress look so cool! They're like those electrostatic phenomenon we used to learn in Physics where paper sticks on an object due to electrostaticity. Btw, the model in that wear looks like a cactuar! ha ha ha ha..

There was sth else though. Even though Alex' designs are cool and all, I feel that there was something missing. The heart of her designs that used to impress me to no end in the competition seemed to be losing its magic in the collection. I mean, where's that bulky shoulder? And her trademark style?

---------

And then there's judging time.

And this is exactly the part I hated!!!

---------

That Asiah Mion.

She's so judging from a scheme. Very rigid thinking. It's almost as if she's looking on one aspect only - the consistency of the designs in the finalists' collections.

-----

And that Bernard Biatch Chandran! &^*&&^*(+!@#$

He seriously need to go DOWN THERE and WARM his feet!

I mean just look at his fucking face. So menyampah! You know that time when he invited the contestants to his workhouse, he was so fucking hypocrite. Pretending to be the Mr. Nice guy and all. And what's his workhouse name again? "Fancy room?" My god, what is he? 3 years old? How did he manage to think of such a lame name.

In the previous epis judging, he's so so soooo narrow minded, narrow until it's practically closed. Ya, closed minded. He dare to criticize Alex' designs?? I don't think his designs are anywhere close as good as 21-year-old-Alex'. If you say his designs has Alex' 0.0000000001% creativity and innovation, I would like to disagree. Overestimation.

Throughout the competition he never compliments the contestants. He expected to see them coming up with sth new, sth the world never see before every single episode. The contestants, to me are very innovative, but he still managed to complain like an aunty.

He was unsure in his remarks too. DId you know he was the culprit behind Alwyn's elimination? How? He said he thinks the phoenix design on Alwyn's gymnastic dress looks familiar. Familiar? Was he sure he seen that design before? Even if the phoenix motion was used before so what? Does that mean if someone used phoenix before then no one else is suppose to use it for the next 1000000 years? Idiot. Imbecile!

And so Alwyn was eliminated that episode because of unoriginality! Because he said his design looks familiar wo.. Alwyn wasn't alone. Bernard accused Fitri too. He said again "I think I saw the KL tower jacket shape before la.." Erm..

Whatever la Biatch!

--------
On the other hand, Bernie Chan (the host) was great though. Even though her dress are sometimes quite "unique", but surprisingly she gave fairly good remarks when judging.

In today's epi, she was defending Alex aaaalll the waaay! I already noticed she's a fan of Alex' designs in the previous epis, but I never knew she would go this far in defending Alex. So touching! She was absolutely correct when she asked them judges whether they are looking for designs that are made for now, or the more forward looking designs. As usual, Bernard stupidly answered that he only want to see designs for now. OMG.. closed minded.. rigid minded.. Downfall of civilization!

--------

Whatever la. Felix wins, Alex did not.

Honestly, I think Hatta should win. His avant garde 80s designs is not only innovative but also consistent in the whole collection.

The design consistency in his collection is also what I think the other two lacked.

Besides consistency in design, I think Alex design also did not fit well enough with her theme. The 1st few designs in the collection don't look torturing enough for me.

--------

Ok now, my last words:

Alex, your bravery, determination and innovation will bring you success in the fashion industry. With the exposure you have now and the qualities I've mentioned, you will in no time become an international designer. I hope in the future I could see more of your designs, and hopefully I can see you use more of your trademark styles too, as you did throughout the competition. Besides, I really like your personality Alex. Your kinda laidback style.

Hatta, I love your designs! You are a fun person, really funny guy. You made the show a joy to watch because of your fun personality. However when it comes to work, you can be really serious in it! I know that the fashion path wasn't exactly smooth sailing for you, but in the end you succeeded in proving to people who were skeptical about you that you are indeed a great excellent designer. Best of luck in your future undertakings!

Felix, I don't hate you. Even though the contestants dislike you, I don't think they hate you too. Erm.. Maybe some of them do la.. But in essence, I believe you are a good person at heart. I think your designs are good too. They have your touch in them. A professional designer indeed. But i think you need to be less egoistic and you should try to listen to others. And also, stop saying you're a workaholic ok? We know that already! lol..
