Project Runway Final Three Chosen Tonight


There were four designers left on Project Runway and we finally found out who the final three are. The Judges chose, Leanne, Kenly and Korto for the Project Runway season finale. Let’s find out how the Project Runway judges came to this decision.

Now, last week the judges couldn’t narrow it down to just three. So the remaining designers were given the opportunity to go home and create a collection with 10 looks.

On tonight’s Project Runway pre-finale the designers received one more challenge. The challenge was to create a wedding dress inspired by their collections and that reflects them as designers.

After the designers are home for at least a month or more Tim Gunn makes his first visit to Korto in Little Rock, Arkansas in which she plays the drums for him.

Tim visits Leanne in Portland, Oregon where the highlight of their visit was a bike ride. Out in Los Angeles Tim takes a look at Jerell’s collection and has many thoughts about it. Finally, he visits Kenly in Brooklyn, NY.

The designers return to New York for their last Project Runway catwalk. But there is one last twist in this Project Runway challenge. The designers must now design a bridesmaid dress to accompany their wedding dress. After that is completed they will present their wedding dress and bridesmaid dress to the Project Runway judges.

Here are some snippets of this week’s Project Runway judge’s comments. They felt Leanne’s dress was so sheik and beautifully crafted. It was modern, dreamy and romantic. Fantastic job.

Jerell’s design was garish and overwrought times 20,000. Nina felt the choice of the grey fabric for the bridesmaids dress looked dirty. Michael felt like the bride had a flower pot growing out of her head. The Project Runway judges agreed that Jerell went hog wild with the wedding dress and that he didn’t put any thought into bridesmaids dress.

Kenly’s wedding dress was very similar to Alexander McQueen’s dress. But it was done beautifully. Michael Kors said that her bridesmaids dress was the cutest damn bridesmaid dress he ever seen. Heidi said it was crazy-good.


Korto’s wedding dress was overworked whereas her bridesmaids dress was underworked. The Project Runway judges felt that it didn’t even look like it was a match for the wedding dress. To top it off Heidi said that if she were a bride she wouldn’t want to wear the dress.

Tonight’s text vote question was who shouldn’t go to Bryant Park. And Kenly was the winner by at least 50%. I thought that was ridiculous. Yes Kenly’s attitude needs work, but her designs this week definitely earned her a spot in the Project Runway final three.

In tonight’s Project Runway episode there wasn’t a clear cut winner just those who were moving on to Bryant Park. However, we had to say good bye to Jerell. And I wish him the best of luck.
