Episode 6 Guest Judge: Tory Burch

Leanne Marshall - Fall 2010
Leanne Marshall's Fall 2010 Collection was inspired by topography - yes, maps! The influence is evident here:
...and in many of the other looks from the collection. The talented season five winner presented a full range of garments including coats, skirts, jackets, cocktail dresses, and gowns.
Leanne admits working until the last minute and without sleep for 48 hours! She had help from fellow Project Runway alums, Maya Luz and Suede.
Our "Man on the scene," Mark Y, sat with Wesley Nault and Jennifer Diederich. He reports that Korto Momolu, Jay McCarroll, Ben Chmura and Jonathan Peters were in attendance. Season five model Karalyn West was also in the show. Mark describes the collection as glamorous and still "very Leanne." She has a distinctive look that is always fresh and original.

WesFeld 2010
BPR Field Reporter Jessica Switaj attended Wesley Nault and Daniel Feld's show on Wednesday and sends us this report - thanks Jes!
On Wednesday evening, February 10th, I attended the GenArt New Garde fashion show, held at Drive-in Studios in Manhattan. As you probably already know, Wesley Nault and Daniel Feld were the stars of the evening, having recently won the GenArt competition sponsored by Plastics Make It Possible.
They used their $10,000 prize money to create an amazing collection inspired by past and present sea life, including coral, barnacles, trilobite fossils and conch shells. The inspiration was clearly present in each gorgeous, painstakingly constructed piece. I was able to stop by the WesFeld studio a few days before the show, so I can attest to the nearly countless hours that were taken to make these designs phenomenal.

Irina Shabayeva - Fall 2010
BPR Field Reporter Mark Y attended Irina's Show on Saturday night and sent us this report. Thank you Mark!
Irina's flight theme was evident in the use of feathers and wing motifs. The venue was very nice, with a white runway, drapes and chairs. There were striking Irina tote bags on each chair. Eighty-four seats and as many and more stood behind on both sides.
Many staffers in black, all teched up, and an obvious, but not in your face, presence of the Tupperware sponsorship which I think is very smart. Several people were obviously bussed from the tents because they were carrying the DHL vinyl bag many of which disappeared into Irina's chic black and white tote. I got a look inside the bag - all the items were in a Tupperware storage bin, another smart touch, a cookie, which my neighbor shared with me and make up mostly.
Waiters passed wine and special cocktails, pink and yellow. The music came on around 7:00 and amped up the excitement.
The collection reminded me throughout of Irina's Aspen Challenge look. Remember? The hooded knit vest? Variations on that. More glamour and less edge than her Bryant Park finale.
Several fantasy looks at the end in black, white, black and white and of course the feather dress which Kaelyn wore as the final look. Kalyn told me from her perch that it was quite comfortable.
It was quite a spectacular show and I was thrilled to be there.
Mark

Amanda's Take - Season 7 - Episode 4
Amanda Fields at the HauteLook Suite during Mercedes-Benz Fashion WeekI'm in New York and today (February 11th) is the first official day of the LAST fashion week in Bryant Park! Next season will be in the beautiful Lincoln Center and will be a fun, new experience. I've already booked a few shows and I'll keep you posted as things are confirmed!
Tomorrow morning (Friday) I will be walking the runway in Bryant Park for my 5th Project Runway Finale! I think the only person who can beat that is Heidi. ;)
I have been running into a few PR models from this season as well as other seasons! I have to say, the girls I've met from this season are all really sweet!
This week's challenge was to create a red dress for a fashion week gala event, for the Cambell's Soup AdDress your heart program! I love when PR partners with something really inspiring and beneficial!
...and I LOVE a red dress. Yes, even being a redhead, I still love to wear red. :)
These women are so inspiring, it was incredible to see them telling their stories to the designers. I actually really like it when the designers have to design for women that aren't the typical model size, because most people aren't!!
I never like to critique women who appear on Project Runway who are not professional models, because they do not do this for a living. I was just looking for the ladies to have fun and they did!
I love how Amy's model, Kasey, was so supportive of her win, even though she didn't walk for her this week. SO sweet. I want to work out with that trainer!!
Alexis doesn't come across as anything other than a sweet model who is a little outspoken - and prodded by producers. I think she meant well and is trying to have fun with the show. We shall see, but I still think she is a good model!
Looking forward to the show tonight!
xoxo Amanda

Finale Judges

What Happened To Maya?
That is the big question everyone is asking coming out of the tent at Bryant Park. After last night's elimination of Anna, there were still 11 designers left in the competition. We fully expected to see 11 collections today but Heidi said right at the beginning of the show there would be 10 shown. We initially passed it off as simply a misstatement on Heidi's part but in the end there were only 10 collections that walked!
Inexplicably missing was Maya Luz. She was in the crowd to watch the finale but did not show a collection. What happened? Her work has been among the strongest of any of the designers up to this point and many of us would not have been surprised to see her as a finalist. What could have transpired on the show that would have left her out? Your guess is as good as ours.

Reactions To Episode 5
Photo: Lifetime NetworkEpisode 5 Party!
Photo: Lifetime NetworkWake up people - this is supposed to be a party! Well, nevermind those poopers on the couch, we'll just dance right around them.
Welcome to our weekly snarkfest, aka the BPR party room. Tonight we celebrate Episode 5 "Run For Cover". All are welcome to join in the comments below as we watch another new episode of Project Runway together. You never have to worry about a snoozefest with the BPR crew. It's party time!
BPR at Fashion Week
It's a bittersweet farewell to Bryant Park as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week sets up shop for the last time at the vaunted venue. Beginning this fall, the tents will be raised at Lincoln Center and it just won't seem the same, will it? Sadly, all the talk around fashion week today centers on the tragic passing of Alexander McQueen.
Of course, Team BPR is here for tomorrow's taping of the Project Runway Season 7 finale. The steps and sidewalks are covered with ice and slush, posing a challenge for the models to simply make their way into the tents. And tomorrow madness will ensue as we will see up to 11 Season 7 designers show. BPR will be bringing you reports and photos from the scene over the next week.
We'll also be following fashion week shows from PR alumni including Christian Siriano and Irina Shabayeva. It should be an eventful week, so stay tuned!
Tonight On BPR
Photo: Lifetime NetworkMeanwhile, there is one more designer to eliminate in what is being billed as "the biggest challenge in Project Runway history" with the winner receiving an "unprecedented" prize. Such hype! Of course BPR will be ready to watch Tim and Joanna Coles in the lobby of the Hearst Tower tonight. Here's our weather dependent plan:
- There is a chance of history being made this evening. No, it has nothing to do with the hyped up challenge or prize. Team BPR might, for the first time ever, be watching the new episode all together in the same room at the same time. The blog may very well self-destruct! The party room opens at 9:30 p.m. and hopefully we will all be there with you!
- Tbone may or may not be in the play by play booth depending on his location and his condition after the BPR executive meeting. But suzq (the diva that she is) will be on hand to go solo just in case. Find out who is een and who is auf live as it happens beginning at 10:00 p.m.
- And of course we will have the rections thread up at 11:00 p.m. for your final takes on this week's epiosde.
Happy Thursday everyone - we'll see you on the runway!

Project Runway Fantasy Game Update from Mark Y - Week 4
Hi PR Fantasy Game Fans,
Can you believe that Friday is the Fashion Week finale for Season 7? The designers are in NYC right now putting the finishing touches on their collections, fitting models and getting in each other's way, I imagine. Oh, to be a fashionable fly on the wall of the tent!
But we need to think about our teams for the Episode 5 round of the Fantasy Game. Guilt overwhelmed me this week for dropping my guy Anthony. He's way too charming, real and funny, so he's back on the roster with Amy (still loving her for the potato sack handkerchief skirt) and Mila who confidently pushes the envelope which is something I admire.
And you? Who are you liking for a really big challenge? Heidi in the winning look on the cover of Marie Claire. Eat your heart out Elle!
Team members please leave your comments here. I'd love to read what's on your mind based upon your member name > Dingo8mybaby (my personal fave; quote it all the time), Thirdworldgoddess, Olive_Ann, KeTchUp_PleAsE, and futurestylist (surely you have strong opinions!). Speak out, Team!
There is still time to sign up for the PRSuperFans fantasy team. Click here to join!
