Project Runway Season 7: RealityWanted Hits Up The Finale At New York Fashion Week
Posted by Lucky on Feb 15, 2010
On Friday, Project Runway held their finale runway show at New York City’s Bryant Park for Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week and RealityWanted was there to experience it all! Currently, there are 10 designers left in the competition and in order to keep the press and fans in the dark, the show let all 10 present their collections. In seasons past, only the finalists and a decoy or two presented but this year, it was the longest runway finale show, lasting almost an hour.
Heidi Klum welcomed the crowd and introduced Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, as well as the guest judge, country music superstar Faith Hill. They sat six rows in front of me smack dab in the middle of the runway, while I had a seat right at the end, with a beautiful view of all the collections.
I really appreciated Amy’s bold choices with her collection, which was inspired by digital prints. If she loses this week, she can’t say that she didn’t bring everything she had to Bryant Park. Anthony also impressed with eveningwear full of color. No one can deny his larger than life personality that has turned him into a fan favorite this season! Surprisingly, I loved what Seth Aaron did and to date, I have not been his biggest fan. His collection, inspired by German and Russian military of the 1940s, was full of amazingly crafted coats that I was dying over.
Last season’s contestant and RealityWanted writer Christopher Straub singled out Amy’s collection calling it “risky, artistic, sculptural, and beautiful”. He loved Anthony’s sparkles but made a bold prediction to us, saying, “Ben for the win”.
