LA Fashion Week Spring 2010: Jerell Scott


LisaRaye




























Designer Jerell Scott

Sequins, lace, print and feather all together on one garment. Really? Only thing was missing was the kitchen sink! I guess Project Runway season 5 contestant Jerell Scott didn't listen to Tim Gunn's advice to edit his collection when he was on the show. Speaking of Project Runway, I am beginning to believe runner-up Korto Momolu about them being a little racist. This season is the worst and they keep eliminating fabulous African-American designers such as Ra'mon Lawrence and Epperson while leaving average designers in the competition. I am sorry but I have to get that off my chest.

I really don't know where to begin because it was entirely too much going on. I did love the multi printed and sequined pieces but of course they needed to be edit. I know designers embellish a lot to add drama for the runway but Jerrell went a little overboard. It was a cross between Balmain and Maison Martin Margiela. The only difference is instead of looking innovative and couture, it looks cheap and tacky. Even poor Lisa Raye couldn't save this collection.

My head is still turning from all of this bundle of confusion. What do you guys think?
