Project Runway - WTF?

Only four episodes into the 14th season of Project Runway and already I'm asking WTF?  Last night's "iconic" dress episode challenged designers to take one of the many iconic looks and make it their own.  Tim mentioned the pencil skirt and the wrap dress as examples. 





So what the hell is this?  Designer Blake Patterson got the different meanings of 'drag' confused, and designed the iconic National Hot Rod Association's drag chute dress.  I'm sure many women love dresses that look like they're pulling a parachute behind them. 

Usually Nina Garcia rips a designer to shreds for poor construction, but this time, she acknowledged the construction was subpar and said it didn't matter. 

A pity, since most of the other designs were well-constructed and more beautiful.  Perhaps under those bright runway lights, some fabrics emit hallucinogens?
