Project Runway Recap: Epsiode 10

Only a few weeks until we know who's going to be showing in the tents! This week the designers were asked to create a look inspired by one of the places that inspires Michael Kors. So what is Michael Kors inspired by? Predictably many places in the US, Palm Beach, Sante Fe, Hollywood, New York, Aspen, and a couple of foreign locals, St. Tropez and Greece.

I'd just like to mention that Greece is one of my all time favorite places, especially the place where the photo was taken, the island of Santorini. I was really excited to see what outfit would be made inspired by the gorgeous photo, right up until Nicolas decided to pick it as his inspiration.

Carol Hannah chose Palm Beach and made a very pretty maxi dress in a palm tree print. Irina made a three piece look to represent Aspen, a pair of ski pants, cowl neck sweater with a cut out in the back and a faux fur vest. Christopher wanted to make an impression so badly but only saw sky and dirt in Sante Fe so his fabric choices made the dress look dowdy. Gordana spent most of her time making an exquisite jeweled necklace and then designed a simple grey dress to represent chic New York. Logan went for the young Hollywood look with simple jeans, tank and a vest, nothing special but not bad. I really liked Althea's shorts and sheer blouse and would definitely wear that in St. Tropez but it was strange to hear her say no one has done anything like it before.

This brings me to Nicolas. I don't understand how looking at the photo on the left, he could have made the outfit on the right. It has absolutely nothing to do with Greece, and even if you take that out of the equation it's still just a simple shirt and pants.


Winners: Carol Hannah, Gordana, and Irina were in the top three. I thought either Carol Hannah or Gordana would win, but instead Gordana was told to be more confident about her designs and overly confident Irina won the challenge.

Losers: Logan, Christopher and Nicolas were in the bottom three. All of them didn't take enough of a risk but in Nicolas' case he also totally missed the mark since his look had nothing to do with the "inspiration". Though I was upset about the Greece outfit being screwed up I was happy that Nicolas was finally kicked off.

For a little bit of Palm Beach in your wardrobe here's a cute maxi dress.



If Aspen is more up your alley here's a comfy cowl neck sweater and a fur vest.

  1. I was a little stunned by Nicolas' creation as well. I know that the worst thing anyone could have done would have been to create a traditional draped Grecian dress, but the draping could have been incorporated into a more modern outfit/dress instead of creating something so not-Greece. I'm feeling a little bad for Christopher, because I thought he had so much potential in the beginning. I think there's just something about Irina that makes you not want to root for her even though she's a talented designer (then again, it could just be the way the network is cutting the footage).
