Flypaper snagged a backstage pass to this morning's Project Runway Fashion Week finale. Klum & Co. were savvy enough to have all four remaining designers do a show, although only three make this week's cut. So, I may not have the juiciest detail of all -- who's out, who's in -- but I did get a sneak peek at next, next week.
Daniel -- part old-school Ralph Lauren, fit for your mother (navy, cream, chocolate, brocade) and part gorgeously made modern dresses, with original detailing, like small breastplates and arched piping on the back.
Kara -- the woman next to me proclaimed, "Sooo Urban Outfitters." Me, I was thinking Benetton, circa 1996. Lots of hot pink, slouchy menswear, a slight Nordic vibe, and utterly perplexing rag hats everywhere you looked.
Chloe -- muted mauves, greens, blues, and other jewel tones, rich, satiny fabrics, empire waists, pleated hems, and billowing sleeves, reminiscent of Stella McCartney a few years ago, but with a whiff of 40s glamour. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes not, and somehow really repetitive.
Santino -- surprisingly wearable and well-made, aside from one truly hideous Attila-the-Hun-inspired number. The same muted tones as Chloe, with cameos from mint and blood red, but less structure, more flowing, and the most beautiful final dress of all, in floaty, pleated chiffon
Who's in? Honestly, it's anyone's guess. My money -- though I love to hate him -- is on Santino.
