Project Runway: "The RunDown" Episode 2

I can already tell this season's Project Runway has some of the best talent I've seen on the show. As I flip through the looks, I find it very hard to choose a favorite because I like different looks for different reasons. All I have to say is that the competition will be stiff...and that we will be seeing amazing things from these designers! =)

Challenge of the Week:
Designers created designs that reflect the Marie Claire woman; winning designer won a billboard in TIMES SQUARE!!




I love Mondo's creation because its very sassy, youthful, and fun. It's a look that I think a lot of girls would love to wear. It was one of the judges favorites this week.

Although Ivy's look was very simplistic, I think she really uses pops of color where it was needed, in the jewelry and in the trim. I feel like if it was made in a more eye-grasping color it could've been a main contender.

***Winning Look of the Week***

Gretchen's navy blue jumpsuit proved to be a hit with the jumpsuit. The color really stands out and it's something that could be worn by the old and the young.





....Really??......REALLY??! Peach's dress was butt ugly! The fabric looks like something cut from someone's old furniture and the brown fabric used in the back really did not work; however, because of her sewing skills, she was not eliminated.

***Eliminated Look***

Jason's "Infinity" concept did not go over well with the judges. It was poorly made and way too grunge for the Marie Claire woman. He was eliminated (he was kinda weird anyway!).

***Eliminated Look***

Although it was well-constructed, the look had so much going on: the Little Red Riding Hood cape, the peek-a-boo back, and the "Circle" concept. Nicholas was eliminated, however, if he could have condensed his ideas, he probably could've turned out some great stuff.

Welllll...I guess concept designs lose this week! Be sure to check out the Project Runway RunDown every Saturday. I'll be covering each episode this season and giving thought on the designers and their designs.

Miss the Rundown??? Check under the label STYLE SPOTLIGHT where all the RunDown's will be located! =)
