Shoes of Project Runway 5.7… We’re Back
posted by: jitterbugbaby in Gucci Shoes, Shoes of Project Runway, Stuart Weitzman Shoes on September 1st, 2008
Hello again, Shoeblog readers. The silence on the jitterbugbaby front has come to an end. I’ve been away from the computer (or high-speed internet at all… horrors!), but now I’m back. And though one of the Project Runway episodes (7) I missed involved shoes that were rather more specialized than Bluefly has to offer—I don’t see a category on their website for drag queen shoes—this past week’s offered plenty to drool over in the clothing and shoes front.
I shall start with my two faves, which were, not surprisingly, Leanne and Jerell.
Jerell’s futuristic space-age outfit was drama-rama, but in a way that I love. And it was quite well paired with the Charles Nolan Tara boots that we’ve seen before.
And Leanne’s outfit (a deserved winner, if you ask me) went just perfectly with these Theory peep-toe booties.
Our good old Gucci Eva wingtips got a trip down the catwalk with Kenley’s vintage-inspired outfit (though, by god, she was whiny about having to switch models).
And Korto’s seatbelt swingcoat made good-if-basic use of the Stuart Weitzman Expumps that showed up on Keith’s Brooke Shields Lipstick Jungle dress.
Suede made yet another variation on his go-to shape. So, as far as I’m concerned, he needs to do two things: 1. Stop making drop-waisted dresses with poufy skirts and 2. Stop referring to himself in the third person. Sorry… three things. 3. Stop using the word “wackadoodle.”However, this dress is cute (as are most of his designs) and the Stuart Weitzman Navigator boots are a perfect (and, dare I say it? comfy) footwear choice.
Good shoe choices this week, designers. And good outfits, too, which might be more important in their eyes, but we know what we love around these parts.

[...] I mean, Kenley’s hideous Aquarius-inspired (though I can’t see it for the life of me) design made use of the Theory Sacha booties we’ve seen before. [...]

I found the bodice on Jerrell's dress to be ill-fitted and distracting. And I did understand Kenley's frustration. Having to alter a design with a small waist to fit a same-sized model who is more 'athletic' in build entailed adding additional fabric – doable, but if done poorly, also very noticeable in the final garment. It's actually easier to do an alteration in the other direction. So, I thought that Terri's design should have been in the top 3 with Jerrell comfortably safe at about 4th, but was in total agreement that Leann was by far the clear winner – impecably fitted and very on-trend with current runway trends.
My apologies for any or all mis-spelled names

I love the black Gucci Eva wingtips. I can wear them to both work and out.
