Spoiler Alert!
Challenge: "Create your own take on Classic American sports wear with Jacqueline Kennedy as your muse"
$300 budget.
GO!
The designers went confidently into the challenge with very little drama but as always a few with questionable style choices.
Michael D created a Milk made design "Crucible" look with a high waisted skirt that ended up a bit too short on the runway and packed on inches onto his models waist. Ivy rushed to the last minuet without even fitting it to her model. Good news: They had an extra day before sending it to the runway. Bad news: They now had to add outerwear to the look.
It wouldn't be PR without a bit of trash talk. Michael Costello was under the bus again with his Donna Karen knock off. And Valerie struggled with commitment in her design.
As always it all comes together on the runway. Ivy's pants suit was fabulous. With wide trousers, sleeveless blouse with an open neck line and light blouse grey overcoat, and round rimmed glasses. Gretchen was more camel color fabric and somewhat forgettable but safe. Valerie's "mall wear" was anything but Jackie O and Mondo worked it out with a purple hounds tooth skirt, paired with a black and white striped top under a short black purple lined jacket. Not to be out shined by his own personal wardrobe choice of black, tiny, boy short-shorts with suspenders.
