Project Runway episode 2

Looks by Daniel and Terri

I can't help it...I just love to discuss PR.

This week should have been great, because it was one of my fave themes: eco-fashion. Probably inspired by the Fall 2008 Fashionweek show I attended, Earth Pledge Future Fashion, where a multitude of high end designers each did an eco-design. The looks were so varied and so fabulous that the event was very inspiring. It ran the range from natural toned fabrics in interesting silhouettes, to glamorous reworked vintage gowns, to lush natural dyed tones.

But the Project Runway version was Project Trainwreck. I think that making the models choose their own fabric should have been a whole other challenge. It kind of stepped on the toes of the eco-fashion challenge. If the designers had had a chance to shop, they could have talked about what options they had in eco-friendly materials, and been really creative with it. I bet someone would have reworked vintage as well (which is essentially recycling). ...And lets face it, they would have chosen prettier fabrics, and bought enough yardage to cover the asses of the models in question.

Ugh.

So I have picked two pics of the looks that I thought were kind of nice (above). I wish I could say that I loved something this week, but I didn't. I'd also love to give you one fave and one hate...but honestly, there were too many pieces that I hated...and I like to stay positive. 

I was actually more interested in what the designers themselves were wearing...look at Stella's awesome corset!

Below are some examples from Earth Pledge: Three As Four, Narcisso Rodriguez, and Shalom Harlow is wearing a reworked vintage gown by Givenchy (which was amazing in person...made from many pieces combined).
