‘Project Runway’: Let’s go shopping
In it’s last season on Bravo, Project Runway returned with a classic challenge — a trip to the store. The everyday items, including groceries, disposable table dressings and any other random things you may find in Aisle 9 were the inspiration.
With a new crop of — how should I say this? — extremely colorful contestants, the show returned to one of the best challenges in the history of the series. It even brought back favored contestant Austin Scarlett to judge the newcomers. In the end, it was a few bleached vacuum cleaner bags and some burned coffee filters that took home top honors.
Certainly one of the most well-crafted projects of the night, I have to say the reason Kelli’s garment won was the details, including hook and eyes made from the spiral of a notebook.
Other personal favorites:
Sure the tablecloth is a little too fabric-like to pose a real challenge, but this garment actually looks wearable. I think Keith may be on to something.
Daniel designed this from blue, plastic cups, people. Need I say more?
And the loser …
Jerry, who from reading the bios alone seemed like a promising frontrunner, certainly didn’t do well with this challenge. His garment — it was supposed to be a raincoat, right? — was so sloppy and lacked shape. And none of the judges were forgiving in the slightest. Sorry, buddy.
Jerry’s Week 1 design, which was his first and last on Season 5.
