Fashion meets technology, it's not exactly the most intriguing or glamorous description of this past week’s Project Runway episode. I picture cringe-worthy garments made from compact discs, but that is SO not the case! This week the designers got to create their very own print to be used in their design; I have to say I was almost as excited for the designers’ opportunity to create their own fabric as the designers themselves. Of course this opportunity comes at a price (for us viewers), we had to listen to designer and guest judge Vivienne Tam’s pitch on the HP computer. BORING! Although I have to say, I may want to switch careers, creating prints looks like a lot of fun!
YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

The enthusiasm the designers got from the chance to create their own pattern abounded throughout the workroom and had many of the designers bantering with one another and making fun quips or comments…mostly from Anthony…How fun is he? – Blaming all his problems on Beyonce! But as Tim made his rounds around the workroom, it was Anthony and Emilio who he was most concerned for. Anthony, for not pushing the envelope and creating the same silhouette week after week; and Emilio for creating a pattern which he thought represented Seth Aaron’s name, not Emilio Sosa’s. But Tim doesn’t bring Emilio down, for he is confident his look is a winner and he, as well as the other six remaining designers, feels he has a spot in Bryant Park.
That leaves Jonathan, Anthony and Mila on the bottom once again this week. Mila’s tepee dress hobbled her model and looked more like a flash back to the 1970’s then a fashion forward piece. Jonathan’s “dirty table cloth” print (oh Michael Kors, how can you be so cruel to a young designer? – I love it!) had Nina feeling sad and confused. And while the judges have praised him in the past over his creativity, this week they feel Jonathan went too far with his straight jacket of a coat and hideous dress that only began with the print. But Anthony, poor Anthony, who was so excited about making it this far in the competition, was sent home for making a simple garment and leaving the judges wanting more. So long, Anthony, you and your entertaining antics will be missed!
Emilio, "You are the winner!"
