Leanne Marshall (USA), Aries Lagat (Philippines), and Juli Grbac (Australia) were declared Project Runway Winners in their own respective country's version of the fashion design show but LTE's Project Runway Season 4 has no winner yet. It's time to decide.
32 New Creations
4 Amateur LTE Designers
1 Winner
LTE's Project Runway Season 4 has a new twist. The Challenge: The four designers (Lyka, Ekra, Jezebel, and Mama O) have to design clothes for each other. In that case, each has to model for her 3 fellow competitors and for her own collection as well.
And to prevent biases (but bias cut on skirts is permitted. Chos!), no mentions of the designer's name is allowed during the voting span. (Designers will be designated only as Designer A to D). Drawing of lots was done for the show's order of presentation. No specific allocations of signature wigs, walk, paraphernalia, and shoes this time. Judging will be focused on the design, per se (Tse!).
All of our designers have worked long and hard to get to this point and we are very excited to see their collections. So,...... Let's start the show!
Designer A: "Beau Lacque Lacque"
Designer B: "Kahlua on Olives"
Designer C: "Melanitis"
Designer D: "Pretty Edgy"
So which designer deserves to win? Vote now! Give us your opinion. Be honest and be firm because fashion has no mercy! (Sa simbahan lang ang 'Mercy').
Rank the designers from your First to Fourth. We would also like to know which single design did you like the best. (Include na rin ang worst para masaya!) The Winner will be announced in a week. Vivaaaaa!
Here's LTEs 3rd Season showcase of Project Runway. Four different designers, four different collections. One will be crowned the winner, another one the loser. You decide who has the talent, the innovation, the creativity, and the passion to be this season's Best Designer. The last piece is a swimsuit worn with another piece to create more drama (and hide some unwanted fat.) CHOS!!!
Vote your best and worst by ranking us from first place to fourth place, and also mentioning your best and worst piece, and Best Swimsuit. No favoritism, no patriotism, no cronyism, just plain, straight to the point, in your face, cut throat, (deep throat), constructive or destructive criticism of the dresses and the pieces matching the inspiration and vision of each designer. Vote because you like the dresses, not the catwalk, nor the ewok. Charok!!!
Let's start the show! Order of appearance is by rank from previous Season. Now, Go! (Note: For clearer videos, double click frames and click "watch in high quality").
Ekra Tan:
Mama O:
Jezebel Patel:
Lyka Bergen:
Bakasyon muna mga bakla, and when we come back we will announce the winner.
32 new creations. 4 gay amateur designers. 1 winner.
As promised, Project Runway-LTE is back! The same 4 LTE gay designers are trying their best to improve their fashion craft. This time, each has given no budget limit to create their 8-piece collection with a Sagala gown for a finale piece.
So, who has the edge? The style? The talent to be Season 2's winner? It's you to decide.
Let's begin the show.
Designer #1: Lyka Bergen
Designer #2: Mama O
Designer #3: Ekra Tan
Designer #4: Jezebel Patel
Yessss! Yun na! Clap! Clap! Clap! Tse!
Be a fashion critic. Be the judge! Rules for judging are still the same. Rate the designers from 1 to 4, with 1 as your favorite. Votes with no ranking from 1st to 4th will not be counted. You can also vote for you Best and Worst design among the 32 dresses presented.
As usual, laitan na kung laitan. The more honest ang comment, the more we appreciate it. Dahil, again, Fashion has no mercy!!!!! (Walang designer na panagalan ay Mercy! Chos!). Thank you all for your support. Mabuhay tayong mga baklang modista. Wahahaha!
2nd Place (tie): Ekra Tan (34 points) Lyka Begen (34 points)
Third Place: Mama O (31 points)
Voting has ended. Gibo concluded the voting count. Jezebel Patel is the clear winner. Nilampaso kaming tatlo. Thank you sa mga lecheng Judges. Chos! (Kung di sana sa votes ni Gibo, second sana ako. Tse!)
The truth behind the scenes: Over sina Mama O at Jezebel sa budget. $36 and $31 respectively. Ekra spent $16 for her fabrics. At ako? $13. Jezebel didnt use any bed sheets or curtains for extra fabrics in her collection (the original concept of Project Runway: LTE). The rest incorporated those.
The duvet that i used for my Wedding Dress which Rik32Miles thought was cheap-looking was all but a challenge to my aesthetics. ... I mean, Jake's aesthetics. He was the one who designed it for me. It got mixed reviews. As in extreme reviews. Either you will love it or hate it.
Mama O's short dresses stood out according to Kiks, but it didnt help her in owning the runway. Ekra's Gray dress was a winner. I personally liked it too. I bet it won Best Design overall. But it was Jezebel's Geisha Ballerina opening look that set the winning mood. The blueprint and the progression of her creations were such a kick-ass. Everybody thought her craft deserves the win. All but Kawadjan (who chose Ekra as winner), Yajnat (who chose me) and Mac_rom_t84 (for Mama O).
The after-thoughts: Mama O thinks her muscled legs ruined her entire collection. Ekra thought she's going to get good reviews from Fuchsiaboy but instead, got thumbs down from the designer. But she still is faithful in her work. She said she knows her art, execute it and enjoy the outcome herself. Praises from others are just icing on the cake and negative feedback for improvement. Jezebel was just happy for all your support. I am glad to see her smiles back. And for me, I enjoyed editing the video show as much as designing and parading my collection on the runway. Doble-saya for me!
Thank you all for the support. I hope you enjoyed the show.
Again, congratulations to Jezebel Patel for winning Season 1 of Project Runway: LTE. And ladies, Watch out for Season 2 before the month ends. Handog namin sa inyong lahat as part of this blog's 2nd Anniversary. Tenkya and Vavoooo!
This is Project Runway: LTE Version Season 1 Finale. 32 Creations. 4 Gay Designers. 1 Winner.
For Project Runway fans, this is your chance to be the judge and choose the next Big Gay Fashion Icon. The four remaining Designers (Lyka Bergen, Mama O, Ekra Tan, and Jezebel Patel) were given $30 each to create their own collection with a wedding dress for a finale piece. Each has the chance to show their collection at the LTE's Fashion Week, which is Today.
In a few minutes, we'll experience the glamour, the excitement, and the dirty side of Fashion because..... Fashion is every Gay's Passion.
Lets begin the show:
Part 1: Lyka Bergen's and Mama O's
Part 2: Ekra Tan's and Jezebel Patel's
Clap! Clap! Clap! Bravo! Wagi! Potah, ano ba yun? Tse!
Now, be the Judge. Rate the designers from Winner to 4th place. Remember this is not ANTM. We are looking for the Best Designer, not the Top Model (We know naman kung sino ang wagi dyan, noh? Hello? Insecure-mode itoh!). This is all about creativity, style, cohesiveness, and panache. This is not who you know, dahil pang Job Fair lang yan.
The more honest your opinions are, the more we appreciate it. Lait na kung lait, mga bakla! We are all ready for those because Fashion Has No Mercy.
Auf Wiedersehen. Ingat!
(Note: Judging should be 1st to 4th for if not, your vote wont be considered as valid. We would also lyk to know which design from all the creations presented you think is the best.. and worst. Tenkya!)
Matagal-tagal na rin na di kami nakapag- rampa. Kinakati talaga ang mga paa ng mga sisters, kaya eto Next Top Model / Project Runway time na naman! At wag ka, merong bagong model/designer for this month's fashion event ha. Watch na lang kayo.
Sponsors: Orbital, Dublex, Inc., Ryan Farish (see Music of the Week sa Sidebar), Chemical Brothers, and Underworld. Mabuhay kayo!
And also thank you to our guest model, Ms. Beverly Gil (90210)! That is how they do it in L.A.!!!!!
This month's issue of Preview Magazine includes their List of Manila's Hottest New Fashion Design Talents and guess what?.... Ang Fuchsiaboy, napasama!
Don Protasio aka Fuchsiaboy, bruha ka! Ang tarush mo! Congrey Lola! Ang ganda mo! Tse! Kaya pala di ka na masyadong napa-visit dito sa LTE dahil sikat alano ka na! Bongga ka 'day! Itaas ang kilay!
O ayan na mga bading! Magpa-book na ke Fuchsia habang mura pa lang ang talent fee nya. Who knows... maging malaking bituin ng Pinoy Fashion World ang lola ninyo! Ang designs, pang- Yohji Yamamoto! Tarush!
Congratulations Don! (Ang name, mga Ineng.... tandaan. Don Protasio.... Parang character sa Noli Me Tangere at El Filibusterismo. Vavoooo!)
