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!

Project Runway 09/20/2009

I am committing to watch this season of Project Runway the whole way through even though it stresses me out and I have never made it through a whole season.  I promise – I can do it.

OK, so this week I was astonished by how many good designers showed up for this thing.  Usually, I feel like there is a 50/50 split of good and not-so-good.  The red carpet challenge was awesome, so many beautiful dresses, but Shirin Askari’s dress was my pick. It was so chic, polished and young.  Beautiful!

Also – how great is Tim Gunn? I just adore him.

Paris!
