Episode 8: Old Wedding Dress Into New Look

I really loved Shirin’s dress (pictured above) as well as Carol Hannah’s and Gordana’s dresses.  So sad to Epperson go, but at this point they’re all good and talented, so…

Episode 7 – Macy’s Challenge

Challenge: create two looks in blue for Macy’s INC brand.  Guest judges are Martine Reardon and Zanna Roberts.

My favorite designers are dropping like flies.    Goodbye Louise.

I am starting to really appreciate Carol Hannah more – she has a more understated style, and it’s growing on me.  I loved her dress this week:

Found: more vintage frames…

Hello everyone! So after some careful googling, I found a new website and boutique in the Village that has a great inventory of vintage frames. Fabulous Fanny’s.  These frames look well restored and ready to wear, but I haven’t been down there yet to see what’s what. I have my eyes on these guys:

Lafont Eyewear

 I was in Paris for vacation in June, and everywhere I went I was noticing these great frames.  After a little research I found the source – Lafont! Here is the website – it’s all in French, but click the bottom left for English and have fun checking out their frames.

Hot!

I am seeing these everywhere – my cousin Jennifah has a pair, and they are HOT.

Episode 6 – Break my Heart. Ra’mon is gone.

Ra’mon really turned out to be one of my favorite designers, although I didnt pick him out of the gates, I think he really had great style and translation of ideas.  He got caught in the cross-hairs this week – his piece was horrible, but I hoped they would give him another chance.

Christopher’s Victoria design was my favorite this week:

Project Runway: Week 4 Model-As-Client Challenge

I loved Ra’mon’s dress this week. I think he should have been on my original top 5, but I just didnt get it. Now I know!

Episode 3: Rumble on the Runway

Surf Inspired Look:

Ra’mon delivers.

Project Runway – Episode 2 “Preggers!” Challenge: Create a pregnancy chic look for Rebecca Romijn.

 I loved this week’s episode – the designers were charged with creating a pregnancy outfit of any style. Some of the men got it right, but the chicken suit  designer, Malvin Vien, got booted and rightfully so.  I was amazed that a designer could be soooo out of touch with women to think that anything like this “chicken and egg” concept could be relevant. It was awful.

Shirin Askari nailed it again, I loved her dress and lined jacket, but Louise Black also had a beautiful dress, a vintage-inspired, hand-dyed babydoll – it was my pick this week.  Irina Shabayeva’ s dress was a favorite of mine as well. It was another baby-doll style dress, but in a bright blue-green satin with a flourish of cream colored flower at the sash.

Being a chic who wears glasses myself, I love Shirin’s glasses, if anyone knows what she’s wearing – please let me know!
