Project Runway-Episode 7

This week's challenge definitely required the designers to be more creative! They had to create outfits entirely made of materials from a Saturn car. The designers were given four minutes to grab as many materials as they could from inside the cars. Rachel Zoe was a guest judge and Laura Bennet (season three) stood in for Nina Garcia. Rachel Zoe now has her own show on Bravotv about her life as stylist to the stars. To read what the judges had to say about the episode click here. The intention was to allow the designers to redeem themselves after the uninspiring episode three Gristedes challenge. This challenge was well executed! What's your take on this challenge and the season as a whole? Has anyone watched Project Runway Australia?

Blayne
This outfit just did not fit right. Can you believe it's made of seat belts?

Jerell
This outfit is made out of a car seat. I like how he completed the entire look.

Joe

Keith
He gave the judges a lot of attitude when he was explaining his inspiration. He did not take criticism well. His look was also very bland and boring. Sorry Keith you're out!

Kenley
The skirt is an air filter and she drew the zebra print by hand. Kenley's model had to drop out of the competition so she had to adjust her outfit to a new model at the last minute. A job well done!

Korto
This coat is magnificent. Korto is a definite contender in this competition.

Leanne
She won this challenge! This look is spectacular. The detailing at the top is seat belt. This dress is made out of a car seat as well.

Stella
She missed the mark on this look. The two pieces don't go together.

Suede
He is still talking in the third person, but not as much! I like how he used different materials than the other designers.

Terri
This look is a bit boring.

Love Korto's coat and that metallic skirt is pretty awesome too!

I'm surprised the coat didn't win. This episode is a LOT better than the Gristedes one... and the Olympics one... how does everyone feel about this crop of designers?

A lot of these look ill-fitting. In particular Blayne's - that's horrible! The poor model! Didn't he measure her?

The top of Joe's outfit is not flattering. Keith's outfit is not flattering. I'm not sure about Kenley's top, even if it did fit properly it is a little awkward looking.

Just my two cents! The Korto coat is the best IMO.

it's like i have ESP - predicting that Keith and Blayne would be in the bottom again. lots of good but poorly executed ideas like Blayne's dress. although i think Korto's coat is impeccable, i'm glad Leanne finally won something cos she's the only one that seems to be progressively getting better from the first disastrous challenge.

re: PR Oz, it's interesting to watch what designers on the other side of the world are producing. i heart their accents and i can see a few with some potential. they are on ep8 and i've only seen 2 eps thus far. if anything, there's always drama. the mentor, Henry Roth, has cool quips like "I want to see passion in your fashion."

i agree with yiqin - i have been disappointed so far... the designers certainly don't have as much charisma as the prior season contestants... maybe things will pick up when there are only the good ones left!

I LOVED KORTO'S COAT! I wish she won!!
