'Project Runway': Victoria Cocieru may be the judges' favorite but viewers think she is too repetitive
'Project Runway' Season 18 has been unexpected, especially when viewers' opinions are concerned. Every designer who has been shown the door to date has turned out to be quite the star on social media.
Tyler Neasloney was one of them. His final piece was tagged as uninterested, low on innovation and as something Karlie Kloss wouldn't wear to an event in Paris.
Similarly, Victoria Cocieru, who has come to be a judges' favorite in the last month, hasn't won too many hearts online. Fans mirror Tyler's opinion of her creations that they are repetitive and it won't be long before they begin calling her out for churning out similar stuff week after week.
This week, Victoria aced the upcycle challenge round and has won herself immunity for the next week.
In the after-show segment with Christian Siriano, the Wyoming talent was asked to critique a couple of designer's works. As Tyler was shown the latest look put together by the Moldova-born talent, he asked: "Now is that the 3rd or 4th dress that Victoria made in that shape? I think it's the 4th."
"She'll take one in every color and so will the judges," he said and added that he liked it the first time she went for the shape.
Meanwhile, viewers are bored of her creating outfits that look the same.
"I feel like Victoria has been making the same dress every challenge. A signature is great, but it gets old after a while. Really rooting for Chelsea and Nancy to make it to the end. #ProjectRunway," a fan wrote.
"Am I the only one who finds Victoria’s pieces totally overrated. Before you come for me, she is darling and I love her hair, but really!?? #ProjectRunway," another one expressed.
However, Karlie Kloss only has words of encouragement for the designer. She says that her story and her journey from Moldova to 'Project Runway' has been inspirational.
"Congrats to Victoria on your win!! Your story of growing up watching #ProjectRunway in your village to winning a challenge (with an INCREDIBLE dress nonetheless) inspires us all. PS I loved wearing your look in Paris #ProjectRunway," the model tweeted.
