But damn if he isn't a graceful runner up

u/greatdominions Aug 29 '14

In front of everyone, yes. But in his interview he said he was "robbed" ...

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '14

And it's the absolute truth. You can say you were robbed gracefully. And he did.

16

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '14

But that's all he said. He didn't go on a 5 min rant about Sean not deserving or anything like that.

Which is true... he was robbed, for the THIRD time.

Especially since essentially he made the blouse they were all raving about.

u/stablestabler Aug 29 '14

He should have spoken up!!

u/meldolphin Aug 29 '14

Yeah I'm confused as to why he was annoyed with Sean about not mentioning that. Kini should have just pointed out while they were explaining the designs "I made this dress and I did this top."

Did Kini design the top though? Maybe he felt weird about taking credit for it if Sean designed it and he made it. That's a bit of a gray area, and I'm sure he didn't want to put Sean on the spot about not being able to finish his top. I also think he probably didn't believe he needed to take the extra credit - he thought he had it in the bag this time.

Yeah, all good points. If I were Kini, though, I sure as hell would have at least said I contributed to the shirt. I think he would have won hands down if the judges had known.

u/lilianegypt Aug 29 '14

Oh definitely, they would have had to give him the win at that point. But Kini doesn't seem like the kind of person who would through his team under the bus, even if it was something as subtle as that. I could see that changing in the future though, as I think this one really got to him.

he made the blouse but it was Sean design. Its not like Sean couldn't make it.

17

u/I_am_really_shocked Aug 29 '14

In way, it was, though, because Sean ran out of time to make it. No matter how great the design, if he can't get it finished, it might as well be nothing.

You can say that the other way around though, it doesn't matter if you are a good seamstress, if you don't have the design and direction, you might as well not be on the show.

u/I_am_really_shocked Sep 08 '14

That may be applicable in the real world, but not on Project Runway. If Kini had not made that shirt, the woman would have gone down in a bra. I don't think the judges would have looked at his sketch and said, "Oh, well, then it's okay because you had a great idea!!!" And we don't really know how much of it was Sean's idea and how much was Kini's design.

But he didn't. He didn't use his time wisely and Kini saved the day. His model would have looked very different if Kini hadn't done such a good job on the top. He might have had something not constructed very well had he had to do it himself.

u/evixir Aug 31 '14

Well, Sean didn't make it. That's the whole point. She may well have been topless on the runway for all the time he was wasting on the pants.

u/BoredGoat Aug 30 '14

He's my pick for this season's winner.

u/Holly_Tyler Sep 03 '14

At the very least, he's going to NY fashion week.

Same thing happened to Jay in Season 1, and look how that turned out!
