Troubles Spark on this week’s episode! Rachel Roy fills in for Zac, while Joan Rivers and her daughter guest star as judges! Can the Fashion Police star give any helpful advice to these hopeful wannabes?
This week starts off with Daniel feeling like he needs to redeem himself after being in the bottom last week. I have no worries that he will do just that. Since Michelle is now a “lone wolf” she is put to work with Patricia and Layana. Ironically enough Michelle really did NOT want to work with Patricia, she is just really out to get poor Patricia. What do you have against her ?

Today’s challenge started by the designers walking into a room of sweet old ladies showing us some moves iv’e never seen on the dance floor and getting their groove on. What could be better than that?! “Good fashion is ageless and timeless.” The challenge is to create a look for the mature client that each designer was assigned to based on what the client wants and likes. This will be a 1-day challenge with 30 minutes to shop and a $200 dollar budget for each look. I can’t wait to see what they come up with . This challenge Kind of makes me wish my sweet old lady Cindy . Once in the workroom Amanda begins to struggle as she is “spinning into a dark place.” Who knew Barbie had a dark side… Tim is concerned about Stanley but Stanley remains to be confident on the pantsuit look he is creating. I really believe in Stanley’s skills and I think he has great potential in this competition but not sure about that jumpsuit ! Tim is also scared for Kate; he thinks that her look is cutting her client in half with the heavy winter fabric on top, and the light spring fabric on the bottom. His face just reads “YIIKESSS” with that one.

As Tim goes to check on team 3 some (Layana, Michelle, Patricia) he is excited to see Michelle’s look and likes Layana’s as well. Patricia on the other hand…uh oh. Her look is looking like a poncho or as her teammates describe it, a “potato sack.” It looks like their team isn’t working as a team to help Patricia’s tragic potato sack. I have to say that look in Patricia’s eye when Tim is giving her his critique is very scary , she almost looked like she was going to scalp him .Now Michelle is complaining again “no surprise ” they will lose because of Patricia but Michelle will go home for it just based on past challenges.
This week’s team struggle award unfortunately has to be awarded to Amanda and Ben. Ben is very worried about Amanda’s look which she thinks looks like a vintage housecoat. Tim had to agree with that one too. I’m not sure if Amanda’s mess can be mended. She even is embarrassed with her look.
Today’s judges include Rachel Roy who is filling in for Zac Posen and guest judges are Joan Rivers and Melissa Rivers. I cannot wait to hear what Joan has to say about some of these looks. I know I will be getting a good laugh out of that. I hope these designers can take Joan or hope Joan don’t take them!
While watching the looks come down the runway I could not stop grinning. These old ladies were too adorable and fierce in every way. They are giving the models a run for their money. It’s always great to see women who are not models on the runway, having a great time and just being positive on that runway. Great job lady’s I know who I am booking for New York fashion week.

Michelle and Layana were given the high scores today but Patricia’s score brought them down so they couldn’t win. I’m sure team 3 some has learned to work as a team after that and I am sure Michelle is still complaining about Patricia.

The highest scores of this weeks challenge are Stanley + Richard and Daniel + Samantha. The lowest scores were Amanda + Ben and Tu + Kate.

Now let me take a moment and talk about what Joan Rivers said and though about some of the winning and losing looks. For Daniel’s look she said, “She looks like a first wife. She should look like a GILF” On the other hand Joan thought that Samantha’s client looked like a menopausal kitten.

Richard and Stanley’s looks got good reviews from the judges overall. Joan thought that Stanley’s client looked like the second wife and she said “You have great knees show them b*tch,” to Richard’s client. I think I had way to much fun watching that critique, I felt like I was watching Fashion Police and Project Runway at the same time! I see a permanent spot for Joan Rivers on project runway . Hey maybe even host it !

Unfortunately for Kate, Tu’s ill fitting look brought her down even when all the judges liked her look but the judges all really had problems with Amanda + Bens looks. The judges thought that Amanda’s dress had a lot of mistakes and was very child-like, and they didn’t like Ben’s dress at all. I think Ben should be let of easy this time since his adorable client Holly was so in love with the dress and felt so great in it.

As the designers are waiting to hear the verdict, Amanda breaks down. Another one trying to steal my title?! I don’t think so. I just want to call Amanda and Ben “Team Breakdown” now. They seam to both cry about every thing . This is the part I was waiting for Joan to get off her seat and go in the back and tell the to shut the f*** up! Lol

On a brighter note Stanley is the winner of the challenge with a well deserved win. Even though I was maybe not a fan of the look . Congratulations Stanley

Between Amanda and Ben it really was a toss up of who would go home, but unfortunately it was Ben. I will definitely miss his heavy accent and icy hair but I am glad he won’t be trying to compete against me in the crying department anymore. See you at boots and saddles Ben ! Until next week .

On this week’s episode it’s everyone’s favorite challenge: the “unconventional” challenge. Just guess where the designers will be sourcing materials? At a flower shop. Yup, that’s right —  a flower shop! Designers seem a little worried especially Amanda: she didn’t even have flowers at her wedding! I guess Barbie isn’t as girly as we thought, but I have to admit I am curious to see what she can do. Along with the flowers, designers learn that there is something more to the challenge! Heidi Klum tells them they will also get materials from the hardware store, so it will be a 2 in 1 challenge with flowers and hardware.

Project Runway: Glade Candles Inspire 2-In-1 Unconventional Challenge

Still trying to figure out how this ties in the Glade candles and scents. I would have loved a challenge inspired by melting wax — it could have been fun.

Each team is creating 6 looks. Due to the unfortunate events of the Dream Team, they get to choose two people from Team Keeping It Real to join their team. They choose Stanley and Layana. Layana is flattered but you can tell she is worried about joining Dream Team. I would be too, with their track record!

Now team Keeping It Real gets to choose one person from Dream Team. The team immediately chooses Michelle who does NOT, I repeat NOT, want to work with Patricia. It seems like she really has something against Patricia. I love Patricia and all that she brings to the table, it’s so sad we see a quick shot of Michelle saying she doesn’t like Patricia or wants to be in a team with her and then we see split screen of sweet Patricia saying she likes Michelle! So sad.

Stanley immediately takes the leadership role on the Dream Team and thinks of the theme 1950’s Dior for his team. I love there concept. Both teams come up with some cool ideas, so let’s see who executes better.

Michelle and Richard’s blind dress isn’t turning out how they thought it would but thank god the light bulb turns on for them to get going. Let’s just hope Michelle won’t always be on a losing team. Samantha is struggling with her very intricate dress. It looks like it could be beautiful — does any one remember Andre Gonzalo‘s moss dress??? He set himself up for a disaster, come on Amanda! Know your Runway! But wait, there is nothing to see yet. She needs to hustle and get this done and make it happen! On Team Keeping It Real Amanda’s moss dress is a hot grassy mess. It looks like someone put adhesive all over a dress and rolled down a hill. I wouldn’t even let my lawn mower next to it! Or maybe I would, hmmm…

Tim is worried about the cohesion of team Keeping It Real’s collection, but the team thinks of a decades theme, each look has a different decade. I hope both teams can pull this one together.

Project Runway: On The Runway

The guest judges are the “Man Repeller” herself and Bette Midler. I am so excited, Man Repeller is one of my favorite bloggers! I just have to say I was not so thrilled with her outfit or her personal style — sorry, Man Repeller, but it’s Project Runway and you looked like you were ready to eat a bowl of ice cream on a sofa someplace about to watch Beaches and cry your self to sleep! Okay, that’s a little harsh. Huge Beaches fan though. Are you all not thrilled to see the Devine miss M? Wow what great guest judge, Bette Midler is amazing! I would have traded my All Star title just to be on Season 11 and have the chance to meet her!

Both team’s collections looked great but Dream Team’s definitely looked more cohesive, I was so impressed. It’s about time!

Project Runway: Who’s In And Who’s Out?

This week things are different, there is no losing team! Just a winning team and a second place team. It happened, Dream Team FINALLY WON!!! They must have all felt like Lebron James after he won his first championship last year. Took long enough.

Unfortunately someone from team Keeping It Real still has to go home. Poor Amanda, the Barbie herself got thrown under the bus by all her teammates talking about her being the weakest link. Leave the girl alone.
The winner of the challenge is Samantha! I am so glad we are seeing her talent and designs shine in this competition. I thought her dress was beautiful and I can’t wait to see more! I really thought Layanna had this one  – I can’t lie it was a fantastic dress .

For the losing team it comes down to the geeky kid Joe and Barbie. Who leaves? The geeky kid who designed the oversized “coat” that no one understood but I happen to love?! I want to wear it now! Or Barbie who got picked out as the weakest link on her team? Unfortunately Joe is out I adore Joe’s positivity and how sweet he is. I wish him the best! I have to bring up Cindy for a minute and wonder because of the funeral home she and her husband own I can’t stop to think if she gets inspiration from the arrangements she must see on a daily basis ? What would Cindy have made ? Okay kids, tune in next week.

For the first time in the history of Project Runway, the contestants did not get to deliver their thank you speeches before their collections walked the runway! This means that the entire audience was left in the dark as to which designers actually made it to the finale — and who was associated with each look! Though atypical, this allowed for audience members to judge each collection critically, unbiased by the urge to root for their favorite designers. Six distinct collections were shown — get the scoop here!

Project Runway Season 11 Finale Show Secrets: Who’s In And Who’s Out?

One of the telltale marks of a great designer is to have a brand vision so distinct and cohesive that viewers could spot their look without the grand introduction. Though six collections were shown, only three of them represented the final three contestants on the show — the others were teaser collections designed by other eliminated contestants to keep the mystery alive. Audience members were happy to offer their guesses as to who the masterminds behind the runway looks really were — and which collections were finale-worthy!

Even though it is early in Season 11′s television airing, some designers have already managed to let viewers in on their personal style. Distinctly Native American-inspired decorations on one artistic collection clearly pointed to New Mexico based Patricia Michaels. Flawlessly tailored architectural garments created buzz that Austin, Texas’s Daniel Esquivel must have been part of the designer roundup! Jersey knit dresses paired with futuristic safety goggles (we’ll get back to this!) could belong to no other designer than Brooklyn’s Samantha Black.

Project Runway Season 11 Finale Show Designs: Perfect For Emma Stone & Miley Cyrus

With six designers showing on the runway, of course there were tons of new styles on display. We love this stunning textured coat for elegantly edgy celebs like Emma Stone. Graphic pieces like a mixed-sleeve sweatshirt/blouse combo would work well with Miley Cyrus‘ constantly evolving style wardrobe.

Project Runway Season 11 Finale Show Trends: Black & White & Blinged All Over!

Even with many voices coming through on the runway, we noticed cool Fall/Winter trends emerging even within the competition! Black and white garments reigned supreme, as the designers chose to embellish their looks with studs, graphic details, and texture rather than colors. One collection even included blinged-out safety goggles as futuristic edgy outwear. Another collection showed floppy Dr. Seuss worthy hairpieces that were truly hair-raising.

–Kristine Hope Kowalski

This week, Kate wants to prove herself and she is ready to fight! Let’s see her put her boxing gloves on and hope that she doesn’t get knocked out like Pacquiao! This week’s challenge is to create looks for Heidi to wear for the launch of her perfume “Surprise.” The perfume is a mix of feminine and hard with ingredients like pink pepper, mandarin, and jasmine. Sounds tasty — is it edible? Heidi gives the designers inspiration boxes and she wants a look that is sexy but not slutty and stays in the color scheme of the perfume which are black, pink, and gold. Let’s see what “Surprises” come out of this challenge! 

The designers get 30 minutes to consult and sketch and $1,200 to make these looks happen in one day. On team Keeping It Real, Kate and Layana decide to team up as well as Joe and Amanda. Joe and Amanda have opposite ideas and can’t seem to come up with an idea, so I am very curious to see what they come up with.

At Mood, Matthew says he is not a dressmaker. So, if he is not a dress maker what is he? Last week he was not inspired and this week he is not a dressmaker? Next week, I am sure he will say he is not a designer! If he makes it to next week, that is. Layana and Kate run out of money but of course Layana’s exotic charm got them some extra cash. I myself have done a few exotic charming things I wish I hadn’t at Mood to get some extra fabric! Yikes! Just playing!

Back in the workroom, Joe and Amanda are still lost. Time is ticking for them…hopefully they will pull through. At some point you have to get your self together and “make it work”!!! I am starting to worry about this team.

Cindy is back to her sweet self and listens to Benjamin’s input. Meanwhile Matt is being completely negative about his design and Tim suggests that he goes for a full out fashion S & M look. Wait, is this dress for Heidi or Rihanna? I’m confused, but I kind of am in love with the whole S & M thought! I can not get the thought out of my head of our beautiful Heidi dressed from head to toe in bondage type leather outfit, and S & M face mask. Okay — that’s pushing it. Sorry, kiddies.

Benjamin is starting to fall apart and starts to break down and cry. Is he trying to show me up on my crying scene? Hmmm….is he fake crying? Not something to be proud of, but I think I hold the award for best cryer (see Marie Claire pg. 17!)

Meanwhile Patricia is being a magician with her intricate design. I love how ambitious and big-hearted she is, I miss that on Project Runway. I must say, Patricia is really winning me over. Today’s guest judge is Kristin Davis, Or should I say, Charlotte York or Charlotte Goldenblatt! Hahaha, she will always be Charlotte to me. It’s so great to have her input as a judge. As the looks come down the runway, Team Keeping It Real’s all look pretty good, while the Dream Team’s looks are looking a bit of a hot mess once again. Wow, hot mess has really become the official Season 11 theme song! Hopefully soon it will change. Also, did I miss something when Tim and Heidi delivered the challenge? Did they say the look has to be made out of chiffon and have a huge slit on the right side? Is it not strange how not one of the designers or judges said anything about this?

Once again team Keeping It Real is the winner and it is Dream Team’s third strike.

The top 3 were Daniel, Layana & Kate, and Patricia.

The bottom 3 were Cindy, Ben, and Matt.

In the end Daniel was the winner for the second time:  he really knows how to design and construct beautiful garments and so far, he has really impressed me. I have to say never judge a book by its cover, and Daniel, I had you all wrong. Great job, and can not wait to see you in next week’s episode.

Unfortunately Cindy was sent home. Benjamin, it was nice meeting you at Boots n’ Saddles in NYC with Mondo but I though you should have been eliminated. I know the time constraints on the show are really hard and difficult, but it’s Season 11. I want to be shocked at what’s coming down the runway. I know you have it in you.
I know I’m going to get a lot of s**t for saying this, but Cindy will always be the sweet old lady in my heart, sad to see her go. It’s not easy to get on Project Runway, stay in the game, compete and somehow manage to do your best work ever in 12 hours . So Cindy, congratulations to you my Project Runway sister. Hope to see more from you one day —  just not from a funeral home!

3. ‘Project Runway All-Stars’ Winner Anthony Ryan Dishes On The Drama

Heidi Klum, 39, brought the designers a pink “surprise” in the work room — and as usual, the contestants were anxious to find out what their challenge would be! Heidi’s fragrance “Surprise,” which hit stores in Feb. 2013, was the muse for the challenge. They were told to use the fragrance, packaging and color scheme to translate the perfume into fabric! Keep reading for more on the challenge and her new scent!

Each team had to create six looks for Heidi to wear. The two winning looks will be featured in the advertising campaign and the other worn by Heidi at a launch event.

Heidi Klum’s New Perfume

“I love my new fragrance, Surprise, and I was so excited to share it with the designers for my Project Runway challenge this season. Fragrance is an extension of a woman’s style, so this was the perfect collaboration for the show. Surprise is really feminine and sexy, but with a little edge so I was excited to see what all of the designers would come up with.  I love the winning looks that we chose and I can’t wait for everyone to see the amazing ad campaign.”

Where You Can Get Heidi’s Fab Fragrance

The fragrance is affordable, ranging from $17 to $35 and available at department and drug stores. The notes in it are accentuated with “mandarin and pink pepper extracts, rose and magnolia, plus benzoin and milk of sandalwood.”

Did you enjoy the fragrance challenge, HollywoodLifers?

This week, designers will work in the same teams: let’s just say Dream Team looked startled about that. I would be too! I remember my team challenge in Season 8 was the worst day of my life! Everyone threw me under the bus. I felt like that bus kept running me over and over!

Episode 2: The Designers Take On Ping Pong Club SPiN

The challenge this week is to design uniforms for the waitresses, waiters, and ball boys and Susan Sarandon’s ping pong social club, SPiN. Can I just say that I was secretly wishing the challenge would have been to design new looks based on the movie Thelma and Louise, or maybe do a retrospective look based on The Witches of Eastwick! It would have been amazing. Wishful thinking. Each team is creating 5 looks: 3 waitresses and 1 waiter, and 1 ball boy look. The best part about this challenge is that “Balls are our business,” SPiN’s slogan, has to be incorporated on the ball boys’ uniforms. That sounds pretty hot if you ask me.

After learning the challenge, designers work as SPiN employees to get a full feel for what they need to design. Putting a bunch of designers together to work as waitresses and ball boys can be equal to chickens running around with their heads cut off. Hopefully Tu’s career as a fashion designer will work out for him because I don’t think a regular job such as being a waiter is cut out for him. The boy was breaking things left and right! I just hope being a ball boy he don’t break his own balls!

As the teams begin to brainstorm and design, Ben immediately takes the role of leader for the Dream Team. I hope this does not turn into another Gretchen Jones situation. I want to like you, Ben, I really do.

Along with team work comes conflict. Cindy is feeling like Ben is “sticking to her like glue” and micromanaging her, but to be honest, with her design last week I would be too! Hot mess. Hot mess. Not saying that she is not, but poor Cindy, the sweet old lady thinks that she is the weak link after escaping elimination last week. Come on Cindy, get it together.

Uh oh, looks like tables have turned this challenge, team Keeping It Real doesn’t have a solid idea yet, while Dream Team already know what they want to do with the looks. I have to say, Joseph is like a big kid with his love for polka dots and his line of cat sweaters. I want to put him in my pocket — so precious. I’m really excited to see more from him.

I take back that the tables have turned on this challenge: team Keeping It Real is once again doing great and all putting in positive input to each other’s designs while the Dream Team is scattered. James is very determined to work on his own and not take anyone’s input to use. Looks like he is setting sail of his own ship to the island of elimination…

Meanwhile, Cindy has changed from the sweet old lady to a teenage girl with a bad attitude. Hopefully she doesn’t turn into the most hated girl in high school. I know I was!

Cindy is not the only one, Patricia is starting to gain an ego and is working for a tribe of her own, disregarding the rest of her team. But who cares, I really like her I am hoping she will yell across the room in that incredible yelling thing she does. She has my vote!

All in all, it looks like the Dream Team is looking like team Struggle again. Let’s see how everything looks once it hits the runway.

This weeks lovely guest judge is Susan Sarandon, owner of SPiN. As Dream Team’s looks are coming down the runway, some looked decent but some just didn’t cut it. Especially James’s look, and Cindy and Ben’s look. Let’s hope team Keeping It Real’s looks bomb it so the Dream Team can have a little hope.

Unfortunately team Keeping It Real’s looks all look pretty good and the judges seemed to like them. As predicted, team Keeping It Real won this challenge and Layana was the winner of the challenge. I couldn’t have agreed more — I really like what she did and she really worked hard and maintained a positive attitude in this challenge .
Sadly James‘s ship did sail to the island of elimination which proves there is no I in team.

“You’re only as strong as your weakest link,” Tim Gunn says as he and Heidi Klum reveal that Season 11 of Project Runway is going to be a team competition. Even though there is no I in team, only one will come out as the winner of Project Runway. Let’s see if “team work really makes the dream work,” as was proposed in the episode. This should be interesting…

Does working in teams mean there will be less drama between designers? I’ll miss the old Project Runway but I’m so excited to see how designers work and grow with the input of a team this season.

The designers were split up into two teams with their first challenge ahead: to create a piece using inspiration from New York City. One team gets to view NYC from afar (by boat), the other team gets to view NYC from above (from the roof of Atlas apartments.)

The team from afar has decided to name their team “Keeping It Real.” Let’s see if the team will still be “Keeping It Real” as the season progresses. On this team there is:
-Stanley Hudson: He is a costumer, you know what that means he must love drama.
-Kate Pankoke: She is a bridal designer with a “Type A” personality. She says if she had her own way she would clone herself. Yikes! I’m not sure if we would be ready for that.
-Richard Hallmarq: He claims that his hometown of Sacramento is the “other fashion capital.” I hope he wasn’t being serious with that one; otherwise I’d have to strongly reevaluate him being in the fashion industry.
-Patricia Michaels AKA “Water Lily”: She’ll kill me if she uses too many Aztec prints due to her Native American descent. That print is beyond overdone. But still — umm, I have to say I’m kind of obsessed with this lady ! I love her already.
-Every TV show has to have a Blonde Barbie, that is Amanda Valentine.
-Layana Aguilar is the Brazilian Bombshell; lets see if her designs can look as exotic as she is.
-Joseph Aaron Segal: He is the quiet, slightly geeky boy of the team. I want to see him show his personality more.
-Daniel Esquivel, the bullied 9th grade drop-out describes his aesthetic as simple, elegant, glamor. When I look at him I just don’t see that. I see a more rugged style with all that scruff on his face.

The team with the view from above has decided to call themselves the “Dream Team.” Will they be able to live up to the name Dream Team that Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen’s 1992 Olympic Team was nicknamed? Only time will tell. Dream Team includes:

-Matthew Arthur: He is from New Orleans and he must be a party animal; he describes his style as the “3am girl.”
-Samantha Black just screams “swag” to me.
-Tu Suthiwat Nakchat: He’s quiet, but he seems talented — and who knows, he could be the silent assassin of the show.
-James Martinez looks to me like a salesman, but maybe he does have good construction skills like he claims.
-Emily Pollard: The young designer from Virginia with a very big ego about herself. Let’s see her ego matches her skills.
-Benjamin Mach, the sweet Aussie with the bleach blonde hair…adorable.
-Cindy Marlatt is definitely one of the more interesting of the bunch. The nice older lady happens to own a funeral home with her husband. How can someone so happy have such a depressing job? Let’s just pray her designs don’t show any signs of death. In a strange way, she kind of reminds me of my lovely friend Season 8 and All Star Peach Carr.
-Michelle Leshiak Franklin calls herself “fedorable” and “geek chic” sounds like another hipster from Oregon.

Getting Started

As the teams split up and go to their workrooms to start creating team “Keeping It Real” gets a lot accomplished with the input of the team while the “Dream Team” worked more solo.

On team Keeping It Real, Daniel stepped it up as a leader and helped his team members. A few people thought Patricia’s design looked very crafty. Overall, they did great as a team and had really god dynamics.

The Dream Team, on the other hand, didn’t necessarily work as a team. They gave opinions but didn’t really help each other. Emily struggled really badly. When she didn’t get anything done, teammate Cindy was nice enough to help her.

On The Runway

Then the moment we’ve all been waiting for the first runway show of the season! With judges Zac Posen, Nina Garcia, and Christian Siriano. So fabulous.

All of team Keeping it Real’s looks looked good, but Dream Team’s were either a runway dream or runway disaster.

After judges discuss, they decide the team that wins this challenge is Keeping it Real. The top 3 highest scores were Daniel, Richard, and Patricia.

The losing team was the Dream Team and the bottom 3 were James, Emily, and Cindy. The judges thought that Emily’s look was one of the most unfinished they’ve ever seen and Heidi said “It looked like her 8 year old daughter made it”

In the end unfortunately Emily was sent home.
