Maybe to tweak my idea for the Bryant Park challenge - choose the three or four best looks from the season and design your collection around those. Even if there is a dress made of an unusual material - it could be worked into the collection. Austin cornhusk dress was nothing short of amazing and could have fit into any collection he did.
IMHO, if a look is designed and constructed well, it should be able to have minimal tweaking to fit into any collection that designer does if it is a true representation of that designer's aesthetic.

actually, that's a great idea - choose three looks from your work this season and design a collection around them.
Unusual materials are not always a bad thing. Korto's restaurant materials dress was
fabulous
, better than her planned stuff. (still annoyed that Daniel won over her, and that they gave her a bitch edit for being disappointed that she didn't win)

I love this idea -- then you'd get nine new looks for the runway, and it would really force the designers to look at what they'd produced so far and decide which best reflects their perspective and style.
Bravo's got S2 rerunning today, and right now is the garden party episode, which is also when Santino riffed on Tim and Andre going to Red Lobster. Heh.
I'm so over ANTM. Only Nicole, this season, looks at all like a model. (Though I kind of want Sundai to go on to have a brief but awesome career as a model for Gap Kids?) But seriously--none of them look like models at all. None of them pop. A few of them have had decent pictures, but who the heck would hire them?? And most of them didn't even have good pictures. Ridiculous. Boring. Pathetic. Come ON, Tyra.
Though I would totally watch "America's Next Top Plus Size Model". You know there's gotta be some hot girls who could turn it out, if Tyra could find them.
I liked the judges restyling Irina's model a lot. I always hate the "why should you go to Bryant Park and who should go with you" portion, it's stupid. It's just like the "what's your greatest weakness" interview question.
I would have made Irina's dress maybe longer, more goddessy - with that back she doesn't really need to show leg.
I think that Nina had a nerve talking about what they've seen from designers.
I know! I know who Gordana is as a designer at this point, but I've seen all the challenges, Nina.
Damn, man, she's the only one who actually fulfills the challenge and she's out. Project Runway Fail.
The preview made me laugh, the way the concerned voices changed between "she's sick" to "she's contagious"
I don't know if it was the angle of the shot, or what, but there was one moment where they were showing Gordana's dress and I thought "that looks kind of like a vajay jay".
That pretty much ruined it for me.
Thanks Perkins. I thought it was just me.
Ha! If they'd mentioned that in the judging, the results would have made more sense. Didn't occur to me.
