#MILA PROJECT RUNWAY SEASON 7 FREE#

As you know, I decided some time ago that Seth Aaron was my horse in this race. This made me really nervous, and more than a little sad. Did they rotate them in and out? Hate the damn decoy collections, hate them so much! Honestly, did they have camera crews following all 10 designers as decoys, too? That’d waste a lot of film, don’t you think? Also, we got to see some of the designers who showed in the finale sitting in the audience. I also couldn’t help wondering where they hid the other 7 designers who showed, and how they worked all of that out. The judges had minor quibbles with all the collections, but by and large also loved them all. I honestly had no idea who was going to win, did you? I knew what I was hoping for, but I really had no idea what would happen, which is kind of cool. I don’t think I would go there, not at all, but I’m happier with this season than the last one.

Nina says that this is one of the best groups of designers they’ve ever had. There’s very little pre-show drama, and despite 3 models not showing up for Bryant Park, we don’t focus on that at all either.
