Fab Savvy Fashion

Is it just me, or should Carol Hannah have won Project Runway? Please, don’t get me wrong. I completely understand and appreciate Irana’s collection & the strong female persona behind it. While the character that inspired her look is not unique; her use of pleating and approach with other details certainly was. However, some of the looks felt way more like costumes (especially when paired with those felt helmets).  I don’t think the over all offering appeals to as many women as it could How many of those pieces would sell to people whose job doesn’t involve tabloids.

Carol Hannah’s collection on the other hand, had me at ‘hello’. Her first look was amazing. I could see a version of that dress at any length and in many colors. It had so much personality. And as impressed as I was by her first look, the rest of her show did not disappoint. The judges said she lost points because her collection “lacked a connective thread”. I disagree. I think the connective element is the fashionable  real women who would buy and wear those pieces.

One thing is for sure, this season was full of promising talent. I also liked the surprise of a “thirteenth look” request for the final three contestants.  Maybe lifetime has a little fashion bug up their sleeve after all.
