I'm appalled at the decision of Irina as the winner of this season of Project Runway on Thursday. Lifetime's bizarre editing of this season (the first with the network after it aired since season 1 on Bravo) gave the American public the idea that Irina was really a nasty, entitled bitch. Every episode featured cruel remarks directed at her other competitors in great numbers, and treatment we are taught since children not to inflict on others, Michael Kors, a designed who was a frequent judge on this season, even says to the remaining contestants during one episode that you have to be a good person to genuinely get anywhere. It seems that this eventually didn't matter, and Irina was awarded the winner of the season in front of the exceptionally talented Carol Hannah Whitfield, who, through turbulent challenges and disregard from her challengers, kept a level head and presented a kind face as she went through week by week, eventually showing a beautiful collection at Bryant Park (Irina's, in contrast, was drab and even presented stolen material for one of her shirts).
What are you trying to say, Lifetime? Clearly this is just a television show, but saying that it's okay to treat others like absolute dirt to achieve something is bloody ridiculous. Irina is a good designer but her ugly personality has really made me rethink what I think of her clothing, and I really hope that she suffers success because of this attitude she has presented.
