(This is a spoiler alert!)
Last night’s Project Runway episode was one of my many “unconventional challenge” favorites regardless of the rampant drama in the show! Contestants were prompted to design a garment out of supplies from a party store. Paper bags, foils, napkins, garlands, plastic plates and ribbons were just a few of the choice materials the designers used to whip up their incredible designs in a short period of time.
So here are a few of my favorite garments:
……………………………….
Andy South’s outfit was painstakingly made by folding and braiding ribbons.
……………………………….
Valerie’s napkin dress
……………………………….
April’s crystal-like dress created from (sparkly?) paper bags
Mondo’s design consists of a bodice constructed from strips of plastic plates and a skirt from twirled garlands
