I am behind on my project runway but I have to express my absolute dismay at the fact that Chris March was eliminated and Rami was granted a showing "officially" at Bryant Park. Clearly this is another example of fashion becoming increasingly commercial. I believe this relates back to the post I wrote about the new Gap collection. As commercial mass-market retailers become more trend driven and fashion forward, high fashion is starting to meet commercialism half way. It makes obvious sense since we all gotta get PAID (speaking of- me included) that designers want to appeal to the commercial market. Alas, it seems at the cost of innovation. This is when I become very worried. Project Runway is arguably a terrible example because really innovative designers aren't probably knocking down the casting doors for a spot on the show, however they finally were blessed with someone really innovative and they gave him the boot- twice! I have a lot to say about Chris's three looks, but in order to avoid boring you (after all this is a blog) I'll stick to the point. He showed something different and fresh that won't have "It Girl" appeal. And for that, he's auffed. So Sad.
