Project Runway goes green!!!
Jul 23rd, 2008 by dino-ray
So this week, the designers had to make a garment out of “green” (aka eco-sensible) fabrics.
Sounds a little boring huh? Well…that’s what I thought too, until there was a little twist: the models had to pick the fabrics! What a way to fuck with the designers, huh?
When the models came back from Mood with their treasures, most of the designers were less than excited – especially those who got that shiny doo-doo fabric.
Since it’s only the second show, there’s not that much work room drama. I think the most exciting thing about this episode was Blayne poking fun at Stella’s leather fetish. And P.S. I am already tired of that term “tanorexic” to describe Blayne. Just call him a scrawny crack-ish Ken doll and call it a day.
…and am I the only one that gets Leanne and Jennifer confused?
So as the designers try to make their garments, Korto second guesses her design, Jerrell makes fun of team doo-doo fabric, Keith wonders what the hell he’s going to do with peacock feathers, Wesley calls the fabrics he got “disgusting” and Suede goes for an ambitious design that looks exciting!
Fast forward to the runway and the designers find out who their guest judge is – let’s take a look at this special video footage:
I like how they gave Natalie a grand entrance. That’s going to happen when I become a guest judge on the show. Miss Portman is so enchanting – and did Tim Gunn just say “holla atcha boy” in that little video package?
So as the garments come down the runway, I am really diggin’ Keith’s flirty design:
I’m worried about Wesley’s. It just looks so messy and it doesn’t look like him. It looks like something a bad sewer would do. Someone like me…
Kenley’s is just fabulous! I am so feelin’ this high-collared/streamlined goodie…
Leanne’s piece looks like fabric gone schizophrenic on a dress form…
But in the end, Suede’s tulle ballerina, uber-strappy glam rock creation won over the judges and a spot on the cyber-racks of Bluefly.com…
And in the end, Wesley was auf’d…
I was kind of surprised. This meek gentleman seemed like he had a boatload of talent that would take him far in the game. Plus, he worked at Marc by Marc Jacobs! I guess that don’t mean jack when you fumble on the runway. I also really liked the way he dressed…
