One of the other winners among the Saturn crowd were the pants created by Terri Stevens. This girl can whip up a pair in no time and these were very well done. There was serious discussion amongst the Saturn hoi polloi about how these could be marketed. The guys thought they could be made into motorcycle pants. The finish was amazing given...

Click on the photo for a closer view. You want to know something shocking? Saturn is populated with a bunch of geeky gearheads, some of whom have never watched Project Runway. I know, this is hard to fathom. But one thing is certain, even if you don't know Suede from Stella, when you walk by Korto Momulu's amazing seatbelt coat you absolutely...

So there I was toiling away in the BPR workroom (aka lounging about at home in my pajamas) when the batphone rings. "Hey Tbone, this is Lisa Gilpin from Saturn. You will not believe what I have here in front of me." Hmmmm. "This better be good Gilpin, I'm really, really busy", I say rolling off my couch."I have all 10 designs from this week's...

The Recap of the Manolo

The Manolo has a favorite:Korto is clearly the most original and unexpected of all of the designers. Her choices are not always those of the Manolo, but they are emphatically her own, and they are emphatically original. She deserves to be in the final three, although whether or not the judges see it that way is the different matter.Click here for the whole thi...

This challenge was about innovation and thought. The cocktail dress you created was sculptural and your play with proportion was inspired. Using the lines and shapes of the seat covers was a risk but by using artful construction, you created a beautiful waistline rather than the appearance of a bulky hip. You saw that others were using seatbelts...

You took the judges' comments to heart this week and veered outside your aesthetic. Instead of deconstructing, you aimed for a sleeker, more body-conscious silhouette.
