Project Runway ep. 3

So, another episode of Project Runway just aired. Let's start with all the looks in one huge picture:
My favorite one:
Yeah, it's the palette. I'd prefer a cleaner cut, but it's a great dress anyway.

Not much weaker:
This is a great dress as well. I don't get why it was the losing outfit (the designer is Emily).

This is a really nice dress that remained unnoticed:


This gown deserves a bit more appraisal as well:

And now for the winning outfit:


It's a nice dress, worn by the right girl. However, the two dresses above impressed me more.

Now for the weaker ones:
The white pieces of fabric have been compared to toilet paper by one of the judges, and I unfortunately understand why. What I don't understand is what makes this dress weaker than Emily's one.

This is a really elegant outfit, but a bit boring. I'd expect much more from a Project Runway contestant. Kurto played it really safe while Emily took a risk.

Stella's outfit... well... this is nothing special either. Stella does rock-and-roll stuff, but I can see a "step out of your box" lesson coming up for her. She always complains when she can't use her dearest leather and everyone will be bored with her stuff really soon.

Now the second last outfit:

Jennifer almost got kicked away and again, I understand why. The dress is unflattering, unfinished, and worse of all, matronly. It's hard to do young and hip in navy blue. So how did Jennifer save her skin? She said she incorporated surrealism into the dress. That's soft skills, people. See, Emily defended her dress with the words lines, color, movement... all classics. Jennifer said "surrealism" so everyone felt the presence of a higher kind of art, though it wasn't really visible. So Mrs Surrealism got extra credit and a second chance.
