SUSAN PIERCE: Well, didn’t we all see the editing setting up the fall of Emilio Sosa? He was the strongest designer throughout the season, winning several challenges, which he wasn’t too modest to mention several times.
His arrogance last week blowing off Tim Gunn’s advice that his collection looked matronly was surprising since all “Project Runway” fans know you always listen to Tim. And Emilio admitted when he checked into the hotel that he had revamped his line somewhat after reconsidering what Tim said.
So what Tim called matronly, the judges termed “very wearable.” Emilio’s line wasn’t edgy, but it was sensible in the same way you would buy “sensible shoes” instead of a pair of blinged-out stilettos.
The man who should have won was laid low by arrogance.
LISA DENTON: Winning the last four challenges in a row probably led to his downfall. He had mentally started on his march to glory, thinking he couldn’t be outdone.
