Project Runway in Nutshell #11

And then there were five.

One last field trip which was to the Metropolitan Museum of Art where the artwork known as Tim awaited them.

Challenge: Create a design inspired by a piece of art.

Rami was in hog-draped heaven with the Greek/Roman statues.

Christian gravitated to androgynous European Art.

Chris laughed in church.

Sweet P and Jillian drifted around with their mouths open.

After finding fabrics, designers immediately started working away. I had been channel surfing prior to PR and landed on "Sixteen Candles". I have to say, Christian's shirt design reminded me very strongly of all the puffed sleeves in that movie. As much as he makes a statement, most of it comes from the good ole '80s.

Viewers were treated to everyone's typical pre-runway creating behavior: Jillian and her time management issues, Christian working fast and talkin' smack, Chris napping, Rami with the ever-lovin' draping, and Sweet P having second/third/fourth/fifth thoughts ad nauseum and turning out something completely different than what she started or thought she'd make (I certainly did NOT see any similarity to peacocks in her work!).

The guest judge was Robert Cavalli who was completely enamored with Chris (said he could see Chris in Paris doing haute couture) and Christian. And sort of stuck on Jillian. He was not at all floored by Rami or Sweet P.

Winner: Christian

In: Jillian (wonder if she knew she was treating everyone to quite the undies shot with her enthusiastic jumping?)

Auffed: Sweet P who totally made up for the lack of Ricky's waterworks.

In thru judges' deadlock: Rami and Chris because although they basically created reruns, they created good reruns. Both of them are to create a line for Fashion Week like the others and the judges want to see them stretch themselves more. As such, they will need to show their 3 strongest pieces to the judges who will then pick which of them will be part of the three remaining designers.

And there you have it. I have a headache and am going to bed. I'm tired and achy and thought this show not worth staying up for. It'd be better at 9pm instead of 10pm.
