Bradon is off to Fashion Week. (Which of course was a month ago, LOL) He was the clear winner of the avant-garde challenge. His dress (pictured above) made the judges drool. And rightfully so. It's one of the best avant-garde looks to come out of

Project Runway

. The designers sought their inspiration at the Sweetbriar Nature Center, where the sketched. BUT, since this is Project Runway, the designers would get off so easy this late in the game. Halfway through the challenge, they are thrown a curve ball - a second look! The five designers had to choose an "aufed" look and re-work it. In other words, they had to take a losing design and "make it work." They did. Quite well.

Halle Berry X-Men realness from Alexandria. I like the dress but really don't care for the dead cat on her head. Bad wig.

And the hair get worse with Helen. This is a beautiful dress, but I am partial to orange. Is it avant-garde? No fucking way!

This one isn't too avant-garde either but I am partial to Justin. He was inspired by albino butterflies. I see it. And created a very sophisticated look.

Ahhh and then we have my favorite designer, Dom. The judges loved her look very much. I really want to see her win Project Runway but Bradon is going to give her a real challenge. And as we've learned from history, anyone can win Project Runway, so I don't bother guessing anymore.

Dom and Bradon were on top which guaranteed their spot in Fashion Week. As for, Helen, Alexandria and Justin, the were safe, sort of... they'll be battling it out next week. Stay tuned!
