On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway All Stars, the All Stars drew seasons and competed in teams of two for high and low scores for a sportswear look appropriate on a weekend getaway. Since I don’t have a competitor, I had to figure out a way to let someone else control elements of this challenge for me. I asked my friend Johnnie to give me a season, and he assigned me “Winter,” with the beautiful Cleo De Nile as my model.
Using Cleo’s makeup as my guide, I chose an argyle fabric of teal and blue. I pictured Cleo joining friends for dinner out after a day of playing in the snow on a weekend in the country.
I was fortunate enough to have the perfect pair of Mattel shoes for her to wear.
The dress has an off-the-shoulder cowl neckline, is form fitting in the torso, and flares to an A-line hem.
I added a little drama with a silver link belt to compliment the silver strands in Cleo’s hair.
A fun design to keep Cleo warm while giving her a relaxed, feminine look.
See you next time on the runway!
This season’s previous looks:
Week 5: Clothes Off Your Back
Week 4: Good Taste Tastes Good
Week 3: Patterning for Piggy
Week 2: A Night at the Opera
Week 1: Unconventional Challenge
I question bare arms in winter, but the dress is unquestionably cute. And the accessories and styling are exquisite. Love it! Also, Cleo reminds me of Christina Ricci.
Thanks!
You’re right–she does look like Christina Ricci!
What a fun dress & I LOVE those shoes.
Thanks, Gary. =)
I love the dress, especially the collar, and unlike Tim I don’t have a problem with no sleeving… I never wear long sleeves. However, I would say that the dress is what other judges would say is something you have in your “trick bag”, something you know well, are familar with and can make in the allotted time. Out of the comfort zone Becks!
I like the comfort zone. The danger zone is just an annoying song by Kenny Loggins from a movie that I won’t watch because He Who Must Not Be Named Or Else You Get Sued is in.
Why you hating on Whip Hubley like that? He was fantastic in that movie.
If the lawsuit fits…
