The 20 Worst PR Looks of All Time - Part 2

Darlings, we are sick as dogs, but we're discreetly slipping out of our sick pants to momentarily put on our bitchpants. We do it for the love.

Number 15

Season 1 - Episode 5: "Model Clients"
Designer: Austin Scarlett

The irony of this story (the twist, if you will), is that after Season 1 diva and Original Princess Austin Scarlett sent this horrific, fabric-shitting thing down the runway and called it a wedding gown, he recovered from his momentary lack of taste and went on to be hired by Amsale as Head Designer for Kenneth Pool Bridal.

Number 14

Season 3 - Episode 3: "Designer's Best Friend"
Designer: Angela Keslar

JUBILEE MOTHERFUCKING JUMBLES is in the HOUSE, y'all! Oh, how we MISSED Jubilee Jumbles! We wonder if Jubilee Jumbles still works with children dressed like a slutty clown?

Number 13

Season 5 - Episode 1: "Let's Start from the Beginning"
Designer: Blayne Walsh

Sometimes, you just gotta go with what works. We refer to our original declaration regarding this look: "There's a giant cotton centipede crawling out of her lady area." Once you point out the elephant in the room, there's really no need for any further dissection or criticism.

Number 12

Season 4 - Episode 2: "I Started Crying"
Designer: Marion Lee

Forgive us, but we're once again going to have to refer to our original impression: "If clothing could cry, this is what it would look like." Somehow, scrappy boy designer Marion Lee sent this post-apocalyptic, sad Pocahontas-looking piece of poo down the runway in his entry for Sarah Jessica Parker's line of disposable clothing, Bitten. Unsurprisingly, everyone burst into tears at the sight of it.

Number 11

Season 5 - Episode 1: "Let's Start from the Beginning"
Designer: Jerry Tam

All of you would probably agree that Jerry Tam was a brief figment of your imagination, but we checked and he really exists! It's true! Not only that, he really did send this provocative serial killer/nurse/nun melange down the runway in his one and only appearance on Project Runway! Thanks to his memorable use of shower curtains and dishwashing gloves, Gristedes is where ALL the stylish New York girls who engage in ritualistic murder like to shop!

Cheroin Setting the Record Straight

From her MySpace Page:

"I want to start by saying that PR was an amazing experience......I loved being there and I met some great people that will always be family to me....Im extremely disappointed with Jerry for being a two faced boring designer. My specialty is high end one of a kind hand built rock couture. Im digusted that jerry tam had the audacity to to be such a sore loser and project his bad taste on to me...His statements about me in his interview are false. ....just for the record I never do drugs and practice holistic medicine. I am very complemented to be compared to Cher. I look forward to more respectful comments in the future."


Oy!

So long, Jerry.

In a way, we think it's for the best. The man was obviously in pain being there. You could tell he just immediately recoiled in the reality TV environment. It happens. We've said this before; sometimes a contestant goes home simply because they can't play the reality TV game and they're irritated and out of their comfort zone, not because they're a bad designer (although there are also plenty of them).

We don't love his portfolio, but it had a polish and style completely lacking from his entry last night.

Model: Nicole

Look, Heroin Cher made a shitty dress with her shitty trash bags and we'll get to that, but we totally agreed with the judges' decision last night. This was worse.

Worse, because he picked the easiest materials to work with, attempted a design that was fairly basic, and had it come out looking horrible. And if it could have been made any worse, the styling would have done it.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

We've long held that when a designer tells their model to perform a little theater, like blow kisses, flip the bird, shimmy and coo, or throw candy at the judges, it's a sure sign that they know their look is awful. Still, there's no excuse for confusing the nurse/serial killer imagery even further by adding a Blessed Virgin Mary vibe to it as well. That's just wrong. And lame.

And those GLOVES. How could he possibly have thought that galoshes and rubber gloves made chic accessories?

Don't even get us started on the dress, which looked like her actual dress is buried under a swarm of dryer sheets.

And then there's that train thing. A train on an overcoat. That's just bizarre.

To put the cherry on top of this sundae, the whole thing was so sloppy looking.

No, the judges definitely made the correct choice last night. Sure, Cheroin was almost certainly kept in because she'll make better television, but while Jerry appears to be a talented designer, he made a terrible reality TV competition participant.

"Jerry, we hardly got to know you and now our future interactions with each other will consist mainly of awkwardly posed photographs at the finale party, followed by badmouthing each other in the press. I'm afraid you'll have to go upstairs and pack your things, mkay?"
