Episode 10's winning design

CP fashion platelette Rebecca Grites sizes up Season 5 of Bravo’s Project Runway every week on Critical Mass.

As Episode 10 began, I couldn’t stop thinking that the more I look at Joe, the more he reminds me of everybody’s favorite cartoon movie critic, Jay Sherman. But then I realized I probably wouldn’t be looking at Joe for much longer, and I was right.
The ProjRun Papa went home this week due to his poorly made and poorly fit "tailored" suit for a newly graduated graphic arts college gal. None of the designers thought making an interview outfit for hip youngsters would catch them off-guard, but for the most part, it did.

Leanne’s drab and dreary teacher’s dress was just so/so, while Korto’s tweed coat and bright green mini dress, though elegantly executed, was a no/no! The judges disagree, but that nonsensical fabric and style collaboration was neither edgy nor classic — the only things her client asked for. Kenley’s crazy-pattern-with-a-tulle-surprise dress was a bit over the top for a future fashion buyer, and Suede’s belled jacket was pure nightmare. The winner of this challenge, Jerell, hit the yuppie nail on the head with his androgynous-chic, Marc Jacobs-esque oversized sweater, high-waisted skirt and silky frill top.

Since immunity is no more now that we’ve got the designers narrowed down to five, just staying in the game is reward enough — but lucky for Jerell, this week’s winner received a spread in Elle. As for the other remaining four: Suede needs to bring it if he wants to win it. Please, Leanne, use another color palette! Korto can keep doing whatever it is she’s doing because the judges are in love. And Kenley — shut the eff up.

Next week, we’ll see who's got the moves — design and otherwise — as L.L. Cool J drops a beat on these fashion frontrunners.
