Project Runway Recap: Episode 9

It's Episode 9 and both Gordana and Nicolas are still here, and Gordana has immunity so she's sticking around no matter what. Ok, now that I've vented here's what happened in this episode. If you're a fan of sequins, beading, and sparkles in general this was the episode for you. The designers had to create a stage costume for Christina Aguilera! As inspiration they first got a glance at the glamorous outfits Bob Mackie had created over the years for Cher, Tina Turner and other divas.

Great, another chance for the designers to step over the boundaries and really make something fun and outrageous. At least that's what I thought. I was of course wrong because the results weren't quite as exciting. There were quite a few gowns with sequins thrown in courtesy of Shirin, Gordana, Althea, and Carol Hannah. Carol Hannah's dress was a black column with just the right amount of sparkle and feathers, truly well made, though I don't see it as a stage costume since the model could barely walk in it. On the short end were Christopher, Nicolas, Irina, and Logan. Christopher made a corset and hot shorts that were reminiscent of Moulin Rouge but didn't quite rise to that standard according to the judges. Christina seemed to like it actually but the judges shut her up. I appreciated for at least being different. Nicolas' dress was total deja vu of the ice queen dress but the short version, it reminded me a lot of Roberto Cavalli dresses.

As a side note: I think Nicolas and Irina are competing for whose bitchier. I'm excited to see who wins this battle :)

Winners: Top marks were given to Nicolas, Carol Hannah and Althea for making a silver sequined dress with a pattern that would definitely stand out on stage. Carol Hannah won her first challenge which I was happy about because she has definitely been consistent in making beautiful clothes.

Losers: Gordana's dress was a white monstrosity but she had immunity so couldn't be kicked off. As a result the bottom three included Christopher, Logan and Shirin. Logan was the only one to use a print but the zebra print and fur shawl made the model look like a Flinstone going to a rock concert. Shirin's dress was a disaster of a gown with different shiny fabric to make for a fuller skirt. In the end Shirin was the one asked to leave.

If you want some feathers in your closet here's a great Madison Marcus dress.
