Project Runway: Mini-sized!
The contestants on this week's Project Runway were introduced to new models-- who were not their typical model type.Yes, designing for little girls was the challenge this week & while some embraced the idea-- others were slightly horrified by it.
To top it off, Tim later told them that they were to create a "Mommy" look to accompany the girls look.
Overall, I feel that there were no complete disasters-- especially with the kids designs. Some might have had taste issues with the judges or played it too safe, but nobody struck me as completely horrible like some have been in the past.
For the first time, I didn't completely disagree with the judges top choices.
Jay's and Jesse's designs were both in the top three.
I thought Jay's little girl look was very Suri Cruise-- something a mom would dress their daughter in, but not necessarily something she herself would pick out, but it was cute.
I didn't like Jesse's pieces at all-- the girl's asymmetrical dress just looked like it got caught on something & was being pulled in the wrong direction.
Seth Aaron was the winner-- and I finally agreed with the judges on this one! Both the girl's and the model's looks were fantastic. The hoodie was completely something a girl would want to wear & I want to wear the model's striped, structured jacket.Now onto those who the judges didn't think did as well.
Jonathan's white organza look was referred to as "toilet paper" by the judges-- which I think could've been avoided if he would've taken the volume down from the top of the models outfit. I agree that it was just too much look for the little girl.
Amy made a bold move with her multi-colored look, which ultimately didn't sit well with the judges. I understand where she was trying to go with it, but some of her choices made it seem more "clownish" than I think it was suppose to. If the pants on the model were a skirt, I think that would've made a huge difference.
At least Amy's mini-model liked her look.
It was Janeane Marie's simple & unflattering look that ultimately sent her home tonight-- which I think everyone saw coming from the moment she said she was inspired by a butterfly costume she saw her sister wear in a play once.
One of the looks that were part of the safe pack that I really liked was this one by Emilio. It's color was on trend for this spring too, which I give him extra kudos for.
The only disappointment I had was that he was aiming to be safe instead of trying to win the challenge-- why shoot for the middle when you should be trying to win??
On another note, the little model he had was the absolute cutest.
That's my Project Runway run-down for this week. It was my favorite challenge this season.
Who were your stand-out favorites & do you agree with Janeane Marie being sent home?

Project Runway: You've Gotta Have Heart
The designers on last night's Project Runway were given the challenge of designing a gown for real woman effected by heart disease. The winning look would be sold on Project Runway's website & also worn to Cambell's Address Your Heart gala event.They had to use the Cambell's branding in the dress-- which included tacky fabric provided for them that had Cambell's logo printed all over.Red was the obvious color of the night and, as Maya said, it was like comparing "apples to apples."
Overall, I was very underwhelmed with the majority of the designs. Once again, the judges top picks of the night were my least favorite.
With Ping now gone, they seem to be under a Mila spell now & loved her tacky star dress:
The stars on the dress were far too literal for me and reminded me of those costumey Forth-of-July dresses you see.
The winner this week was Amy & her flowy, sweetheart gown:
I liked it and was glad that she won & not Mila.The bottom two were Anna and Jesus-- and a wave of relief hit when they announced Jesus was out & Anna was in.
Anna's dress was cute-- but I agree that on this particular lady, it didn't fit her body-type. I like the concept of it, though, and I'm so glad it didn't send her home.
Jesus' eliminated look was called "tight and tacky" by the judges, who especially disliked the crystal straps.I didn't love the dress, but the concept of the crystal straps I thought was very interesting. Maybe if he was able to use better jewels, it would've looked more "expensive" but I actually liked the idea of having crystals as straps.
What did you like and dislike about this challenge & who was your favorite of the week?
