Well doesn’t this just suck. The one Asian American designer, Jerry Tam of FORM, casted for Project Runway 5 was cut on the first episode. Granted, his “raincoat” made from a shower curtain was rather hideous….so I don’t blame the judges on that move.
Though overall, I must say that I was rather disappointed by what I saw. Correct me if I am wrong, but most of these designers were professionals (I was cooking at the same time, so I missed some of the designer’s bios). But despite the resumes, many of them went straight for the table cloths, trash bags and shower curtains….things that can pretty much pass as fabric. So already, I am not finding this cast as very creative. Hopefully as the season progresses, they will prove me wrong.
The best designs in my opinions were the dresses made of the plastic cups and paper towels. I wasn’t as crazy about the dress that won. But don’t take my word for it, judge for yourself.
