The TWENTY Worst Project Runway Looks of All Time - Part 4

Alright, ladies. This is it. Our Top 5 Worst Looks of All Time. The cream of the crap, if you will. We debated about doing an honorable mention list but honestly, aren't 20 entries enough for you bitches? There's gonna be a lot of "I can't believe you didn't include x!" Honeys, you try and come up with a list like this. Our eyeballs are going to be hurting for weeks.

Number 5

Season 2 - Episode 3: "All Dolled Up"
Designer: Raymundo Baltazar

The dress that inspired one of the Duchess's all time great bitchslaps, "barefoot Appalachian Barbie." And damn that little orange bitch, but we really can't come up with anything better than that. Sometimes you just have to bow to the master. Raymundo told the judges he designed this Barbie dress for little girls inspired by their mothers. After his auf'ing, his own mother slapped him silly.

Number 4

Season 1 - Episode 1: "Innovation"
Designer: Starr Ilzhoefer

It's Princess Mental Patient of Sanitaria!

Starr truly was amazing. She took an ironing board cover, some wrapping paper and some bubblegum and...made her model look like she was wearing an ironing board cover, some wrapping paper and some bubblegum. How very post-modern and meta-textual of her.

Granted, this was the first episode ever and we don't blame the designers for not really understanding what was expected of them, but it's truly mind-boggling that anyone would send THIS to be judged in front of a panel of fashion experts.

Number 3

Season 2 - Episode 4: "Team Lingerie"
Designer: Santino Rice

Give it UP, bitches, for one of the all-time great memorable moments from the show! Strangely, even though Santino claimed this lingerie collection was inspired by Heidi, it was Nina who practically leapt out of her chair to claw at his face in fury on behalf of women everywhere. Their heated exchange (while team mates Nick and Emmett bowed their heads and averted their eyes in the hopes that the judges wouldn't notice them) gave viewers the Nina-ism to end all Nina-isms: "It's aesthetically NOT PLEASING!"

Number 2

Season 5 - Episode 9: "What's Your Sign?"
Designer: Blayne Walsh

We were rendered pretty much speechless when it came time to recap this look and frankly, we still are. This goes without saying, since it's the number 2 look on the list, but this was one of the ugliest things we'd ever seen on the show. Scratch that. It WAS the ugliest thing we'd ever seen on the show. The only reason it didn't take the top spot is...well, why don't we look at the top spot to explain, yes?

Drumroll please...


Number 1




Season 1 - Episode 1: "Innovation"
Designer: Wendy Pepper

Here's what: Blayne's clown tumor costume was the ugliest thing we'd ever seen, but there was at least some work put into it. Quite a bit, probably. This thing, on the other hand, was nothing but supermarket crap that Wendy Pepper glued onto her poor model. Like we said, this was the first episode ever and we don't blame people if they were flailing about trying to figure out what was required of them but they knew they were in a fashion competition. She should have at least figured out that meant she was supposed to make an actual outfit. Instead, she decorated her model like the table at a kid's birthday party and hoped for the best. Lucky for her that the judges could smell her crazy coming from a mile away and kept her in for the entertainment value.

*********

That's it! We're done! We can't look at another ugly dress again. We've ruined ourselves for you. Are you happy now?

To hell with the kids, I'm going SURFING!

This one has a special place in the annals of dresses that were totally inappropriate for their challenge. We don't know WHAT Raymundo was thinking here.

There is absolutely nothing about this dress that says "Barbie."

His whole starting point was just wrong. Little girls want to dress like their mothers? Yeah, maybe in their mothers' most glamorous party dresses, but generally speaking, most little girls don't dream of dressing like their mother does when she's taking the trash out.

And his additional explanation that it was meant to be a surfer chick look made no sense. How do you cross "surfer chick" with "dress up like mommy?" And how are either of those appropriate for Barbie?

The Good, The Bad, and The Gorgeous

This was pretty cute, actually.

Granted, he used the pants to make pants, the shirt to make a shirt and the jacket to make a jacket, which means for the most part, all he really did was tailor his outfit to fit her, but still, it was cute.

And it looks fit and finished, which is more than you can say for a lot of the entries. But those shoes! What kind of mo are you, picking those shoes for that outfit? For shame, Raymundo.

And this was another disaster from Marla.

The only good thing we can say is that it at least looks like clothing, which is more than you could say about her last entry. That bib-like top is unflattering and ugly and the frilly little trim makes it worse. She looks like she's wearing a napkin for a skirt and a placemat for a top.

And why is she damn near naked? Marla certainly had enough to work with. What's the point of all the exposed skin? She looks outrageously uncomfortable.

Credit where credit's due: this was absolutely gorgeous and could have been the winner easily.

Not a word of criticism will pass our lips. This really is perfect. We don't know what he did to that denim, but somehow he made it look far more expensive than the outfit he started out with.

The layering in the skirt looks chic and stylish...

...and the jacket is perfectly fitted (although we would have preferred it was a little longer in the front). Kudos, Daniel!

Damn, there's a lot of cheap dresses to talk about.

So let's get on with it, shall we?

We were going to put Raymundo's entry in the "bad" pile but y'know, it's actually not bad once you take a look at it. We hate the vest. It doesn't add anything to the dress and that poofy shit on the shoulders is distracting and ugly.

But the dress itself is well-made and pretty in its own way. Plus, he was one of the few among them who really tried to make the fabric look like more than what it was.

It really looked like a finished outfit instead of a work-in-progress on a dress form. So kudos for that. But we hate that trim on the bottom of the skirt.

On the other hand...

That is one pissed off model.

Can't say we blame her. That is some Omega-class fug.

She looks like she barely survived an industrial accident in that thing.

As much as we think Marla could've or should've gone home for this hideous thing, this is what happens when the judges place a premium on "point of view." We're not even arguing that they shouldn't; it's just that it allows for crazy-but-ugly entries like this to slip through the cracks and stay in the game.

It takes real ...uh...talent?...to make cheap fabric look like cheap paper. Why do we have a sudden urge to make sure the windows in the back seat are rolled up all the way?
