Week 7- The contestants had to make a garment out of materials from those Saturn Hybrid Cars, (which are made out of 85% recyclable materials.) The whole thing was kind of strange. The designers found themselves on the rooftop of some building with several shiny new Saturns. At first, I thought that the designers would have to disassemble the cars! But I suppose that would've been too dangerous. Ha! Anyway, instead of taking apart the cars, all the crap that they make the cars out of was STUFFED INSIDE THE SATURNS! It was pretty wierd- reaching in the front seat to get seat covers and headlights and such. After collecting their materials, the designers headed back to Parsons.
In the beginning, people were breaking apart headlights and smashing mirrors. But no one really used that stuff. They all opted for seat covers and seat belts. I thought they could be a wee bit more creative, but I suppose it's better than using a tablecloth.
Kenley's model- Shannon, dropped out of the competition, just like Keith's model, Runa did in episode 3! What's going on with these models???
Speaking of that, Keith had some trouble with his current model, Alyssa. Keith created a poorly- sewn, ugly brown skirt that he instructed his model not to sit down in. However, while getting hair and make-up done, Alyssa was "forced" to sit down. Sure enough, the skirt ripped. Keith was incredibly angry and blamed his model. But truthfully, it was his own fault that he created a garment that was so poorly sewn that it ripped when you sat down.
Now on to the runway!
My Favorites:
1. Leanne 2. Jerrel 3. KortoLeanne was the winner. Thank god! Her dress was absolutley amazing. It looked so freakin' couture that you would have never guessd in a million years that it came from a car. Great job, Leanne!
Jerrel and Korto were also in the top 3. Jerell's outfit was very cool. It was super futuristic, although it reminded me of a tribal warrior or something. I liked it, though.
Korto wove seatbelts to use for fabric. The coat was a great idea, but the fit could have been a lot better. The sleeves didn't look so great! If she had just perfected it a little, that coat would have been truly amazing!
My Least Favorites:
1. Blayne 2. Stella 3. KeithBlayne Stella and Keith were the bottom 3. I agree.
I could see Blayne's attempt, but he didn't pull it off. The fit on top was horrible.
Stella's outfit was pretty wierd. It looked like two completley different garments. On top was some tough, biker- looking thing, and on the bottom was a shiny, girly little A-line skirt. I'm not totally convinced that Stella can do anything other than Leatha.
Keith is out! He presented a boring, ripped garment that his model could not sit down in. He definitely deserved to go. His cocky attitude did not match his poor work. Auf Wiedersehen, Keith!
Check back next week for a recap on the new episode!

Otherwise known as a big, baggy coat. They are appearing on all the top runways this fall. Cocoon Coats are great for people who don't have a stick- thin figure.
This trend seems simple, but all those plaid pieces that were considered "appropriate to wear on the farm," are coming back this fall! Anything from mini-dresses to jackets look adorable in plaid.
From lavender to deep plum, purple is the hot color this fall. Whether you choose to wear an all- purple ensemble or just add hints of it in your outfit, you'll look oh- so stylish in this amazing color.
