Flower Power on Project Runway!
/
Last week's
Project Runway
came up smelling like roses. And tulips, irises, carnations, chrysanthemums and daisies! The designers embraced the notorious unconventional challenge like no other group, ever.
Tim Gunn
delivered the criteria for the challenge, but of course, this wouldn't be Project Runway without a twist. Enter
Heidi Klum
. The designer teams had to incorporate hardware into their designs. So in addition to shopping for their materials at the flower shop, they also went to a hardware store. Both teams did such a good job that it's difficult to point out the "bad" this week. In fact, the judges were so impressed with the looks they decided that there would be no losing team.
The guest judges were the Divine
Bette Midler
and
blogger / creator
Leandra Medine
. They were both great judges, very insightful. [*Keep using bloggers Project Runway

Amanda's dress was my least favorite. She was in the bottom two though we all knew she would be safe. She struggled with this challenge because she doesn't like flowers. Seriously? I can't wrap my head around this. I LOVE flowers.
There was something charming about Joseph Aaron. He was a little odd, but harmless and sweet. Unfortunately, he is too conceptual of an artist for Project Runway.
Auf Wiedersehen...
A beautiful design by Samantha. The judges liked how she cleverly used the screening material as a sheer layer to expose the greenery on the skirt. The overall design and concept is terrific and was worth the win.
