blues on the runway

Fashion reigns supreme on this episode of Project Runway.


After last week’s episode of Models of the Runway, the designers now have to deal with having a new model that they have never worked with before.

Heidi’s clue to the designers about their next challenge was so vague. She only told them that it would be very colorful. Turns out, their challenge was to create two looks that were in blue and that would fit with the brand I.N.C., which is sold exclusively at Macy’s. The winner would be commissioned to create a holiday look for I.N.C. to be sold in Macy’s and online.

Each designer had to sketch out their designs and pitch them to Martine Rearson, the EVP of Macy’s I.N.C. brand. She would then choose the top 5 designers to be the team leaders for this challenge. And they were: Irina, Althea, Carol Hannah, Christopher, and Louise.

Then, this is how the choices of teammates broke down: Althea chose Logan, Christopher chose Epperson, Louise chose Nicolas, Irina chose Gordana, and Carol Hannah ended up with Shirin.

Right before the designers headed to mood, Tim announced that because the prize of this win was so big, there would be no immunity.

Ugh, Nicolas is so stupid. He needs to calm down and get over his hatred for ruffles. Louise’s outfits were chosen for a reason so obviously the head of I.N.C. doesn’t have a problem with ruffles and neither should you! And now Christopher is getting so cocky about the fact that Tim said he was on his way to reinventing the shirt dress. Key words… “on his way” not “you’ve done it!”

Yay, Michael Kors was back as a judge this week! Sitting in for Nina Garcia was Zanna Roberts and Martine Reardon served as the guest judge. Althea & Logan were safe, leaving all of the other teams still on the runway.

Louise & Nicolas and Christopher & Epperson had the lowest scores but the judges wanted to talk to the best teams first. Carol Hannah & Shirin went first and Carol Hannah explained her style concepts. The main compliment to Carol Hannah’s work was her attention to detail and her ability to make wearable clothes. Irina was very glad with her clothes but their teamwork was not so good and it was evident on the runway.

Next out were the bottom two teams. Louise took the wrong approach to her critique from last week about being less subtle. Christopher seemed very intimidated and concerned by being in the bottom two. I think he just got way too confident by Tim’s comments.

This week’s winner was Irina because of her dress but her attitude of working in a team did not impress me. Louise ended up being sent home this week and I do agree.
I wish Nicolas didn’t have immunity because he probably would have been sent home along with Louise. His continual behavior of throwing people under the bus is not cool. Christopher was barely saved this week and his cockiness is getting on my last nerves.
