On the neck of the top and cuffs of the pant, Nathalia has added a ribbed-knit detail that takes the look to a whole new level. Nathalia: Inspired by the bats at Skull Island, Nathalia has made an exaggerated brown dolman sleeve jacket, a casual khaki trouser, and an ivory top. Zac says that he sees “a lot of reference here from a lot of other brands,” and Heidi says “it’s trying too hard to be avant-garde.” Regardless of whether or not they love it, the judges can all agree that the look is a head-turner. While Nina agrees with Dexter on the point he makes about working outside the box, Zac and Heidi explain that they don’t find Dexter’s look all that crazy or new. The judges react very differently to Dexter’s look. Underneath, the model wears a cropped, distressed black top. ![]() The shoulders of the jacket are oversized and rounded. Pulling quite a bit of inspiration from the female protagonist in the Skull Island ride, Dexter took a green denim and created a sort of “safari street queen” pair of shorts and a jacket. Robot” fame.ĭexter: The judges were very mixed on Dexter and it was unclear whether he fell into the top or bottom ranks, but I liked it so I’m going to put it in the top. Heidi introduces Zac, Nina, and the guest judges: designer (and investor on “Project Runway: Fashion Startup”) Rebecca Minkoff and actress Carly Chaikin of “Mr. But Cornelius’ model’s chest potentially escaping midst runway walk is the least of their concerns when Heidi announces that going forward there will be no more immunity. Cornelius and Erin both have to throw together tops for their models. When runway day rolls around, you would think these kids had no idea they would ever be expected to present finished garments. Other notable moments during Tim’s critique: Jenni is keeping her usual customer in mind by cropping her top, Tim is concerned with how much Erin has left to do, Nathalia should probably throw that faux fur in the garbage, and Laurence’s red leather jacket is a thriller. But this look is already so busy, it forgot to pick up its kids from school. Tim, possibly hypnotized by the prints, merely offers that Brik should be considerate of the sizes of shapes he creates for the top so as not to make the look too busy. Is Brik really this stained-glass, Jack Skellington, hodge-podge-of-ideas designer? Why is pairing textiles such a challenge for him? Which part of these fabrics is in reference to Skull Island? Brik is taking a vinyl, geometric-printed material and cutting out and repurposing the shapes to create a top. That being said, whatever Brik is doing, he should probably just stop. Eventually he and Tim both come to the conclusion that you have to be yourself, even if it gets you sent home. This is like the lions and tigers and bears of “Runway.” Embellishments and shoulders and pants, oh my!ĭuring Dexter’s critique, he and Tim reflect on the judges’ comments of late, wondering how they’ll respond if/when Dexter stops playing it safe. Dexter is experimenting with a giant, round shoulder. Erin is going back to her roots with an embroidery technique that from this angle looks like something my cat destroyed. We shall see.Īt this point in the competition, some designers are taking some serious risks. Finally, in what he believes to be a stroke of genius, Cornelius grabs yellow leather thinking a pop of color will stand out on the runway. ![]() Laurence chooses a red leather, even though she claims she’s not a “leather designer.” I say she can call herself whatever she likes as long as she keeps delivering those sweet and salty leather looks. Brik goes for stripes and geometric shapes in two different fabrics and colors, inspired by I-don’t-know-what, while Nathalia grabs some Kong-inspired faux fur. ![]() In the cheeky way that only Tim can get away with, he announces that the jungle surrounding Skull Island reminds him of another jungle – the urban jungle!Īt Mood, Brik and Nathalia make some interesting choices. Heidi notices straight away that the designers are completely breaking down and rewards their hard work with a surprise trip to Universal Orlando Resorts! In the tropical climate of Florida, the designers meet Tim and Mike West, Director/Executive Producer of Universal Creative, outside of the brand new multi-dimensional attraction Skull Island: Reign of Kong. So while I haven’t been as productive as our cast of (now) ten designers, I can relate to their need for some real-deal rest and relaxation. ![]() The abrupt shift from summer fun combined with the anticipation for the upcoming holidays makes me want to hibernate until it’s time to stuff my face full of pecan pie. But there is something about this city in this season that is absolutely exhausting. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love autumn in New York.
