Who's IN?
I daresay the final 3 really did great on the surprise challenge: I'll definitely buy Philipp's cardigan, then Veejay's pants - but I'll buy Aries' whole ensemble! The tailored suit with matching glittery hood was phenomenal! I MUST HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT! LOL!
Philipp's collection showcased the richness of Philippines' culture and the boldness of a woman's body. However, I agree with the judges that some of the pieces were almost over-the-top. While Veejay's take on the classy, clean and wearable silhouette was successful, the lack of story behind the collection and, yes, wrong choice of fabrics, made the whole set a bit flat. But there's no denying that all the pieces were constructed elegantly. Aries' collection was really "wow"! The drama, the story, and of course the construction all fit together - and formed a fantastic ensemble! I agree with the last piece, the yellow gown, being off among the strong ones; but the main flavor was indeed showcased when that vintage-looking dress transformed into three unique, unbelievable garments! Aries deserves the title, period. I hope his collection's already displayed in SM Makati by tomorrow. Can't wait!
All in all, Project Runway Philippines was successful to produce the next generation of Philippine fashion designers - which are indeed bright!
