Runway Roundup: Week 2


Hmmm in all my celebrity look alike pontifications from last week's Project Runway, I somehow managed to miss the most wonderful of them all...ladies and gentlemen, did anyone notice that French Stewart is in the house (aka Steven). I never thought much of French as an actor and after tonight I can't say his style rates much higher now granted it was not his design but this She-Ra/Cavewoman outfit (pictured above) was hands down the worse of the night. Seriously was that burlap being used as the fabric. Chris Kattan's 80's dress came off dated or as my friend Nikki put it, "Robert Palmer called and he wants his video girl back." Still it showed vision which for the second week in a row saved someone from elimination. Speaking of being saved how about crazy girl Elisa not only lasting for a week but excelling. Her sketch looked like a drawing of Violet Beauregard after she ate the everlasting gobstopper but in reality she and Sweet P (still hate that name) pulled off a nice little number. My favorite though was by Kit and Chris. The shirt dress with the design heavy pockets fit the challenge perfectly as anyone who's been to Steve and Barry's and see the Biten line can atest too. By the was how about that challenge. For the second week in a row the designers got treated like kings. As Tim Gunn pointed out in his own blog the PR contestants usually face tough challenges right out of the gate. This year they already got a carte blanche challenge in week one and in week two they're designing for a self proclaimed fashion icon in has been Sarah Jessica Parker. Did anyone else love the fact that Heidi and Tim kept pointing out that the winner MAY have their design included in SJP's Fall line. In other words don't get your hopes up. Either way the challenge while low on funds allowed contestants the chance to glam it up and really enjoy their time before they're sent packing. Next week looks like things toughen up which will give us a real look at this year's crop.
