TV Recap: Project Runway - Season Five, Episode Eleven - Page 6

Suede gives another hilarious pose just before he exits the runway. Korto is very pleased in her vlog and says a whole new persona overtook him up there. Dr Korto and Punkenstein? Rock and Roll Jerell is out next. He walks calmly down the runway like the former model he is. Suede has made a low rise, slim black pant, a beige tank top that’s been cut into, and a black leather vest. The pant’s silver zipper has been left visible. The top seems like a ‘wife beater’ that has had the neckline cut much lower to show off Jerell’s pectoral muscles. It also looks as if the top has had dye splashed across it. This look seems more punk than rock to me but there is some crossover. The thick black boots also seem more punk than rock to me. They almost share a silhouette with Doc Martens, the prototypical punk boot.

The designers/clients come back onto the runway as a group. Heidi introduces the judges’ panel again - as if the five remaining designers do not know who they are. Heidi announces that LL Cool J is debuting a new album, Exit 13, and his own clothing line soon. Kenley is smart enough to realise this could spell trouble for her, since “he is the king of hip hop” and her design, well, isn’t. Unfortunately, her vlog comments seem to blame Leanne for her “embarrassing” dilemma. Heidi asks Korto to explain her work. She says she distressed some metallic denim with bleach. LL Cool J says the outfit has a lot of energy and is “right on the money.” Nina thinks Suede looks like (goth rock star) Marilyn Manson. Michael Kors thinks the silhouette is flattering on Suede.

Suede explains that the outfit he designed for “rock and roll” Jerell would be comfortable onstage and good for a party after a show. Heidi asks Jerell what rock means to him. He replies, “Aerosmith.” Jerell likes the outfit and its palette. Michael Kors likes the vest but thinks the pants are “expected.” Suede says the detailing up close is beautiful. LL Cool J says subtlety is lost on stage. Nina and Kors thinks it needs drama and oomph. Heidi says Jerell looks like Jerell. Speaking of Jerell, he says his outfit for Kenley took bits from Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls and would “read way up into the nosebleed seats.” Heidi asks Kenley what “pop” means to her. Kenley says she thinks this outfit is pop and she likes it. “If I was a pop star I would wear it,” she says. She giggles, and wipes her hand across her forehead. Nina thinks the look is like “Britney as a brunette.” Nina says she likes the silver... ”Cups?” says Kenley, opening her vest to show her bust a bit more. Heidi perhaps gets back at Kenley for her dig at Heidi’s boobs during the Planetarium party: “I’d have liked them supported a bit more.” LL Cool J enthusiastically says, “They looked supported!” Kenley thanks LL. He says he wished it showed more skin, then when she took the vest off, “I got more skin.” Kenley removes the vest again and we see the back is all fishnet. Her behind is covered by the dress’s black fabric. The judges rave more. Kors says she looks sexy but not vulgar. Kenley smiles. The silver sparkles under the stage lights. Jerell quietly thanks Kors.
