Santa Fe Fashion Week will be bigger than ever in 2017 with a new summer show from June 8-10. Fleis, a finalist from Season 10 of the hit fashion designer contest show, will be joining 15 other designers in the biggest Santa Fe Fashion Week ever. 2, 2016: Santa Fe Fashion Week is proud to announce Project Runway and Project Runway All Stars competitor Melissa Fleis will be joining Santa Fe Fashion Week in 2017.
Audiences should feel lucky that this season’s designers are neck and neck it is a sure sign that this season was legendary.Santa Fe, NM, Dec. Although the competition is fierce and it is hard to watch fan favorites fall to their contenders, Season 16 of Project Runway has been a huge success. These designers make it hard to tell which ones will persist to Fashion Week, let alone who will win it all: the car, the trip to Japan, the $100,000 to launch their line, and of course the lifetime supply of pens. It will be interesting to see if one of these ladies can overtake the expected winners. Still, these designers have proven their grit by working through creative roadblocks and designer drama. As the judges have complained, both have also failed to demonstrate a clear aesthetic. Mentor Tim Gunn used his Tim Gunn Save on Margarita, and Kenya is the only designer still standing to have not won a challenge.
Ayana shows real promise viewers are aching to see what she can do with more time to design and construct.ĭesigner Margarita and Designer Kenya, however, are underdogs. What’s most admirable about her work is that although she has modest preferences, she did not let them stop her from making loud statements on the runway. Ayana was usually in the middle of the pack when it came to scoring, but later pushed herself to be a real contender to judges’ pet Brandon. Although the judges may gripe about his tendency to stick to a neutral color scheme, Kentaro’s aesthetic is strong and his design elements outshine such a minor transgression.ĭesigner Ayana shocked the audience mid-season. Kentaro pulls off clean looks that transfer gracefully yet somehow sharply to the runway. He also almost always incorporates inspiration from his Japanese roots. Apparently, his taste and understanding of modern fashion make up for his redundancy.ĭesigner Kentaro is similar to his “brother” Brandon in that his styling is modern, but Kentaro’s distinct vision has been one of simplicity.
The judges despise when other designers don’t push themselves, but love Brandon’s repetitive styling. However, Brandon’s very tight aesthetic leaves some viewers annoyed.
Haven’t these poor designers been challenged enough with all of the drama this season brought on? Between crazy twins to a double elimination week to two extra-rigorous, unconventional materials challenges, these designers should be allowed to showcase as they were promised.īut since the judges set up this preliminary round, the question still stands: Who deserves to make it to Fashion Week?ĭesigner Brandon is the most obvious choice, at least in the judges’ minds. The judges should have just kicked someone off last week rather than have the same five designers compete for the same thing - the Holy Grail of Fashion Week - two times in a row. In the most recent sneak peek into the next episode, Heidi reveals to the designers that they will first showcase their standard 10-look collections to the judges, and then the judges will select which designers get to showcase for Fashion Week.Īfter the judges literally just told all five designers they would all get to showcase, this leaves viewers a little frustrated. After the latest episode of Project Runway, a whopping total of five designers are being given the opportunity to have a “make it work moment” on the New York Fashion Week runway.
