Leanne Marshall Wint Project Runway Leanne Marshall wint Project Runway Yes! Vanavond heden is de maandagavond weer een vrije avond, want de vijfde serie van Project Runway (hier in Nederland beter bekend als Project Catwalk), is voorbij. Er is geen enkel televisieprogramma waar ik voor thuisblijf, maar als het even kon, keek ik toch wel heel graag naar deze afvalrace voor modeontwerpers. De Amerikaanse serie portretteert een groep gedreven ontwerpers die allemaal hun droom willen waarmaken: hun collectie tonen in Bryant Park, tijdens de New York Fashion Week. De strijd is hard en onverbiddelijk: elke week valt een kandidaat af. Drie ontwerpers mogen naar Bryant Park, maar er kan er maar één de uiteindelijke winnaar zijn. De jury had het moeilijk. Daarom wezen zij in de een na laatste aflevering niet direct de drie ontwerpers aan die naar Bryant Park mochten. Er was nog een afvalronde extra bedacht — een lekkere dosis extra stress voor de deelnemers — om te bepalen wie van vier ontwerpers af zou moeten vallen. Het werd Jerrell Scott en zo togen drie dames naar Bryant Park: Kenley Collins, Leanne Marshall en Korto Momolu. Tijdens de afvalrace kregen de deelnemers telkens een mooi bedrag om stoffen en fournituren te kopen voor de creatie die zij elke ronde veelal in een enkele dag moesten maken en dat alles werd gesponsord door stoffenzaak Mood. “Thank you Mood!”, riepen de deelnemers steevast uitermate spontaan bij het verlaten van de winkel. Maar wat een mooie stoffen hebben ze daar en wat een keuze! De kandidaten kregen voor hun finalecollectie een ruim budget en een paar maanden tijd om hun stukken voor Bryant Park te maken. En gisteren was het op de Nederlandse beeldbuis zover. Jurylid Jennifer Lopez liet verstek gaan, maar haar plaats werd probleemloos ingenomen door Tim Gunn, als mentor steeds bij Project Runway betrokken. “Make it work” en “Carry on” was wat hij ‘zijn’ kandidaten vaak meegaf. Modeontwerper Michael Kors, als jurylid ook dit seizoen weer van de partij, droeg, nogal bizar als je kleding goed wilt kunnen beoordelen, een donkere zonnebril tijdens de finaleshow. Maar gelukkig wist hij dit accessoire wel af en toe af te zetten. Kenley Collins showde veelal felgekleurde kleding. Jurken en rokken, heerlijk vrouwelijk, in veel door haar met de hand beschilderde zijde, veel veren, onder meer op een prachtige bruidsjurk. Een bruidsjurk overigens die de jury erg aan Alexander McQueen deed denken. Ook op haar schilderwerk hadden ze wel wat aan te merken: erg Balenciaga. Kritiek was gedurende de hele serie niet iets waar deze little Miss Arrogant erg goed mee om kon gaan, maar naar aanleiding van het eindoordeel van de jury liet zij zich ontvallen dat ze wellicht toch de mode eens wat beter moest gaan volgen. Als je als ontwerper zelf niet in de gaten hebt dat je werk — hoe onbedoeld dat ook moge zijn — lijkt op dat van een (bekende) collega, dan zijn de journalisten er wel om je dat duidelijk te maken. Hoe dan ook, de collectie van Kenley bevatte mooie stukken Zij beheerst het metier absoluut. Leuk dat alle modellen iets van veren in het haar droegen. Dat was een mooie verbindende schakel tussen de stukken. Inmiddels heeft Kenley een eigen site: www.kenleycollins.com. Beetje amateuristisch en voorzien van een webwinkel die wat mij betreft een beetje sneu is. Ze verkoopt er voornamelijk veertjes voor in het haar, terwijl zij zich toch allereerst als modeontwerpster presenteert. Creatie van Kenley Collins Korto Momolu (spreek uit: cut.toe mo.mo.lu) is afkomstig uit Afrika en dat was aan haar collectie goed te zien. Mooi kleurgebruik, veel Afrikaans aandoende kettingen, die soms echt deel van de kleding uitmaakten. Haar modellen droegen allen grote knotten; erg fraai! Korto weet de sterke punten van een vrouw goed te accentueren en dat was de jury ook niet ontgaan. Wel vonden de juryleden haar kleding soms té; wat minder details en accenten hadden haar creaties nog sterker gemaakt. Te elfder uren had Korto nog twee nieuwe creaties gemaakt, omdat de jury had aangegeven niet erg gecharmeerd te zijn van haar bruidsjurk en de jurk voor het bruidsmeisje die ze voor haar finalecollectie had gemaakt. Dat werd dus nog hard werken voor Korto, maar ondanks alle stress en tijdsdruk, lukte het haar nog twee fantastische stukken te maken. Ook Momolu heeft een eigen website: www.kortomomolu.com. Daarop natuurlijk de collectie die zij voor Project Runway maakte en een aantal filmpjes Helaas een maagdelijk lege webshop. De collectie voor lente/zomer 2009 wordt volgens de informatie weliswaar spoedig op de site geplaatst, maar Korto is gewoon laat en dat is reuze jammer. Creatie van Korto Momolu Als laatste ontwerpster mocht Leanne Marshall haar werk presenteren. Tijdens de serie was Leanne een beetje een grijs muisje. Zo gedroeg ze zich en zo zag en ziet ze er ook uit. Haast onopvallend verplaatste zij zich van ronde naar ronde, dank zij haar werk dat er zijn mag. Voor haar collectie voor Bryant Park liet Leanne zich inspireren door de natuur: vooral golf- en bladpatronen, die in de gehele collectie te vinden waren. Zachtbruine en ivoortinten, zacht aquablauw. De collectie was technisch buitengewoon knap gemaakt en vormde een heel mooi geheel. De modellen droegen het haar strak en zonder opsmuk en dat had Leanne meer dan goed aangevoeld: haar kleding behoefde dat immers niet. Leanne speelde slim in op de trend van duurzaamheid en had veel ecostoffen in haar kleding verwerkt De jury was onder de indruk, alleen was Nina Garcia, jurylid van het eerste uur en ‘editor-at-large’ van Elle Magazine, bevreesd dat Leanne nu niets anders meer zou kunnen maken dan blaadjes! Na rijp juryberaad was het dan zover. ‘In fashion one day you’re in, the next day you’re out’. Als eerste viel het doek voor Kenley, die haar tranen niet kon bedwingen. Vervolgens moest ook Korto het veld ruimen. Teleurstelling ook bij haar; er waren genoeg momenten geweest dat zij zichzelf als onbetwiste winnares had gezien. Winnares van het vijfde seizoen van Project Runway werd dus Leanne Marshall. Het duurde even tot de overwinning tot haar doordrong. Hoe langer is naar haar werk kijk, hoe meer ik de keuze van de jury een terechte vind. Leanne heeft een heel eigen stijl, is technisch meer dan vaardig en haar kleding is absoluut draagbaar. Het winnen van de show is een enorme ‘boost’ voor haar carriere: TRESemmé hairsalons zorgt voor een mooi bedrag van 100.000 US$. Met behulp daarvan kan Leanne niet alleen haar huur betalen, maar vooral haar eigen lijn opzetten. Een mooie website heeft ze al: www.leanimal.com. Het is haar van harte gegund. En dank je wel Leanne, voor je prachtige creaties waar ik met volle teugen van geniet! Creatie van Leanne Marshall Anoushka Houtsmuller .

(December 2009) Andrea Schweikhard Robison, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Antonio La Pastina Project Runway premiered on Bravo TV on December 1st, 2004, and is now in its sixth season, which aired on Lifetime. On Project Runway, designer contestants live together in apartments in downtown New York for the duration of filming and work on weekly challenges at Parsons The New School for Design. I am interested in determining the ways in which reality shows like Project Runway both allow and restrict the display of gender and sexual identity for contestants through the construction of a social order. This study is a textual analysis of all five currently released seasons of Project Runway. I draw from theories of social interaction to provide the interpretive framework for this study.

  • CASA Dean's MMU (Monday Morning Update)
    CASA Dean's MMU (Monday Morning Update) Monday, January 25, 2016 Dear Colleagues, Our first week of the Spring 2016 semester went very well. While a small number of students did miss their first class, advisors are touching base with those students and encouraging them to instructors of those classes missed. As you know, the first day of class is an important time for faculty to establish the tone for course expectations for students. Please help students who missed the first day of class understand your course expectations, grading policy, and other important items in your syllabus. Good rapport between instructor and students is arguably the most important factor in good classroom dynamics and in achieving teaching excellence. Thank you for your dedication to student success. The University will have a Recruitment Summit this Thursday and our College has prepared a CASA Recruitment Strategic Plan for the coming fall semester and beyond. Let me share a few key points of this strategic plan. CASA has been consistently the third largest generator in total student enrollment for the University. The College enrollment has continuously been increasing for the past three years. There was a dip in 2011-2012, but CASA maintains a 1.66% increase in enrollment from 2011 to 2015. Due to a number of resource constraints, continued growth in some of our programs will be difficult. However, we strive to maintain our growth even under a challenging fiscal environment. By Fall 2016 (10 day count) we hope to have achieved these gains in CASA college-wide enrollment, compared to Fall 2015: 1.
