Project Runway Week 8!

Da da da da! Project Runway Week 8!
The designers are lead by Tim Gunn through what Stella calls the meat- packing district(?) to meet a so-called "fashion legend." As the designers speculate who they think it is, Blayne wishes that it was Mary-Kate Olsen.
The designers enter a showroom where they meet...... the fabulous Diane Von Furstenberg!!! WOW! Diane greets the designers, who are all very excited to meet her. Kenley is very emotional because she loves Diane and admires her.
Diane announces the challenge, which is to create an outfit for her fall collection, which is inspired by the movie "A Foreign Affair." And to top it off- the winning dress will be exclusively sold to American Express Cardmembers!
Tim and the designers head off to Diane's sample room where they have 15 minutes to get fabric. After that, they're off to Parson's to work on their designs!

Now, on to the runway!

Top Three: Kenley, Korto, and Leanne
Bottom Three: Suede, Joe, and Stella
Winner: Leanne
Eliminated: Stella

My Favorites:
1. Terri 2.Korto 3.Leanne

My hands- down favorite was Terri. Wow!!! I know she gets ripped for always doing pants, but these were beautiful! The trench, blouse and pants were a beautiful combo together. I was surprised that Terri wasn't in the top 3!
Korto's dress was very pretty. I loved the yellow peeking out underneath the dress. The jacket was nice too.
Leanne was the winner. Her dress was gorgeous, but I didn't care much for the jacket. It didn't match the dress.

My Least Favorites:
1.Kenley 2.Joe 3. Suede

Kenley's dress wasn't horrible, it was just boring. She should've done another piece. The other designers did jackets and pants in the same amout of time.
Joe's was pretty bad. It looked cheap and costumey. The shiny fabric didn't work at all.
Suede's was just awful. I hated it. The dress was boring, and that jacket-thing looked so cheap and thrown- together. I really thought he should've gone this week.

Stella was eliminated! I was a little shocked.
Stella designed a plaid trouser and vest along with a cape that looked like- you guessed it- leatha. Although it wasn't perfect, it wasn't as bad as the judges made it out to be. It was chicer than most of the stuff that she's designed before, and it wasn't half as bad as Suede's hot mess.
Auf weidersehen, Stella!

Check back next week for a recap on the new episode!
