Kini Zamora works on an alternative wedding dress that he believes might give him his first win.
"Project Runway" season 13
Episode 6: Rock the Wedding
This week, the designers meet at Webster Hall, a fabulous concert venue dressed up for a Goth wedding. They are greeted by Tim Gunn with burlesque performer Dita Von Teese on his arm. She famously married shock rocker Marilyn Manson in Goth style in a dramatic and memorable Vivienne Westwood gown.
With Gunn noting today’s anything-goes weddings, the designers are challenged to create an alternative wedding ensemble and reception dress for a non-traditional wedding.
Because of the scope of the project they are assigned into teams and Hawaii designer Kini Zamora is paired with Sean Kelly. Kini expresses the fear that he would go home if they were to become the bottom two because Sean has immunity. They come up with the idea of creating feminine/masculine wedding ensembles for a business woman who can’t get out of her suit.
Once again, Kini works quickly and finishes his coat dress with dramatic side flounce, while Sean is still working on one pair of tuxedo pants. Kini keeps asking him if he’s done yet, and during on-camera interviews expresses frustration because he says it’s just a pair of pants, which he finds easy to make.
He decides to start making a top because Sean has immunity and Kini notes, he could send a topless model on the runway without being thrown off the show.
During judging, only Kini and Sean win praise. Designer Zac Posen calls their creations “the best of the best” on the runway and calls them the dream team.
In studying the garments closeup, Dita says of their work, “This is what it means to be a designer,” and that she would wear both ensembles.
Show co-host and judge Heidi Klum calls Kini’s work impeccable, and the judges ask, if they were to be the winning team, which designer should have the win. Sean says Kini should win because he’s been on the top so often and deserves a win, but he doesn’t tell the judges that Kini made the flowing white top that the judges love so much.
They love it so much that it is the item that gives Sean the win.
In another camera interview, Kini says that it should have been his win and that he was robbed. I agree and think he was way too nice by not taking credit for the blouse when he had the chance. In this biz you have to speak up because there will always be those shameless people who will have no problem taking credit for your work. It’s happened to people I know, and even happened to me.
Sean is happy about his second win, but while he gloats over it, he still doesn’t give Kini the credit for the top. Please, a pair of pants—no matter how nice—would not have scored him a win. Shame, shame.
