American fashion legend Michael Kors lead this week’s challenge on season 6, episode 10 of Project Runway, asking the contestants to create outfits inspired by his favorite destinations from around the world. Carol Hannah chose Palm beach, Nicolas went with Greece, Althea with St. Tropez, Irina with Aspen, Gordona with New York, Logan with Hollywood and Christopher chose Santa Fe. Then they were sent to Mood with $150 and given 20 minutes to buy fabric and other necessities.
After toiling on their creations and a reality check by style guru Tim Gunn, the contestestents were whisked off to the runway to be judged by special guest Milla Jovavich. In the end, Irina won with her eighties-style, snow bunny inspired ensemble. Within the allotted time she was able to design chocolate ski pants, an oversized tan cowl-neck sweater with a peek-a-boo back cut out, and a faux fur vest.
Nicolaus Putvinski
Nicolaus and Christopher, who both seem to be hanging on by a thread, were in last place. Nicolaus decided that the rules don’t apply to him and presented the saddest interpretation of Greece I could have imagined. The outfit consisted of a white bandage wrap top and grey skinny-legged pants. Despite the cute pleated detail at the bottom of the pants, this outfit was boring! Guest judge Milla Jovavich said he should have nixed the pants and extended the top into a dress fit for a Greek goddess.
Christopher’s Santa Fe-inspired design looked more like an 1890’s western settler’s futuristic undergarments, than fashionable modern apparel. The dress had a flowy light blue dolman sleeve top with a super short, multi-layered brown skirt. His only saving grace was the patch-worked leather belt that separated all the poofy madness which Milla Jovavich adored.
In the end, Nicolaus was out. Personally, I’m glad to see him go. Aside from his constant disdain for following rules, if I had to see that outdated, oily, Kurt Cobain-esque hairstyle one more time . . . (fill in vile act)
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
