I am willing to bet anything you want that this kid is somewhere on Tumblr

I’m not going to lie. The prospect of Chelsey’s all denim look scares me. I’m getting a flashback to that picture of Britney and Justin at some VMA in the early 2000s.

At this point, I'm Project Runway's most popular bottom.

Project Runway: 18.4 The Ultimate Upcycle (Bottom Looks)

Designer: Tyler Neasloney

As much as I dislike the Kushners (and God do I), I feel like everyone got so caught up in Tyler’s burn that we’re ignoring how mad this look is. Karlie has a point. This is not something she could wear in Paris. It feels like a cliche of what women wear in the Hamptons and a discount version at that. Even the styling feels old and tired. Take the model’s hair out of that updo, give her some cooler shoes, and this dress is already 100% better.

Designer: Marquise Foster

Unlike the judges, I didn’t hate this look. In fact, I really liked it. I liked the deconstruction of the pinstripe jacket with the cleanness of the white shirt dress underneath. I would definitely wear a version of this! However, while I admire Marquise and the way he designs, I do not think the craftsmanship was up to par here. If this look was impeccably made, it wouldn’t be on the bottom.

Designer: Shavi Lewis

Again, I disagreed with the judges here. Yes, I do understand that the model can’t walk in the skirt, which is a major problem. However, I’m in love with that pinstripe motorcycle jacket. I want one right away!

Project Runway: 18.4 The Ultimate Upcycle (Safe Looks)

Designer: Delvin McCray

Delvin’s model looks like a fifty-five year old divorcee heading out for cocktails with friends. It’s just way too mature and matronly for such a young model, and so it would age Karlie tremendously. The styling also doesn’t do Delvin’s look any favors. She should have her hair down and a softer lip to youthen it up. Still, Delvin does know how to tailor clothes because this is impeccable work.

Designer: Geoffrey Mac

Geoffrey, you were in Goodwill. You had what is a fortune at Goodwill, and all you made was a two-tone black and grey dress with some fake leather that I have clearly seen before. I could buy this dress at Express. Do better!

Designer: Melanie Trygg

Melanie’s clothes are usually (always) boring, but at least like the play of proportions on this dress. That’s a little interesting. Otherwise, I’ve seen this dress before.

Designer: Sergio Guadarrama

I really hate Sergio. I want to hate this suit, but I don’t. However, I don’t remember how much of this suit he actually made and how much he just tailored. To be fair, it looks good on the model. I like the top with the tie at the bust. Still, I’m not giving Sergio credit for this.

Designer: Brittany Allen

To be fair to Brittany, I feel like she’s one of the few that actually repurposed the clothes she bought instead just tailoring or slightly altering them. I really love the top of the dress, but I despise the layered chiffon with the stick black satin on the bottom. It doesn’t work together.

Designer: Dayoung Kim

Dayoung, I love you, but this is terrible. Objectively, it’s bad. It just looks like she hacked off the sleeves of a jacket and quite a few inches off the pants to create a look no one could wear. Was this a day Dayoung was sick? Because otherwise, I won’t give her a pass.

Project Runway: 18.4 The Ultimate Upcycle (Top Looks)

Designer: Nancy Volpe-Beringer

Nancy’s look has me split this week. On one hand, I absolutely love the dark denim skirt she made. It’s constructed in a way that’s new, innovative, and gives stiff denim a shape. However, I despise the backwards pink shirt she made. It’s not flattering, and it feels a little matronly.

Designer: Chelsey Carter

I love Chelsey, but I cannot get behind this all denim look. Is it well constructed? Yes. Is the top really cool? Yes. But I cannot support an all denim look. I don’t like denim on denim. It gives me flashbacks to Britney and Justin circa 2001 head to toe denim look.

Designer: Victoria Cocieru

I’m really not sure why the judges like Victoria’s weird, deconstructed style so much, but they do. I hate it. I think it looks sloppy and unfinished. My mom doesn’t like it either, but she did say Victoria is a great seamstress. I agree, but I like my clothing to look finished. I don’t want giant shoulder pads or weird cut-outs at my waist.
