Season 11 of Lifetime’s Project Runway kicked off last week with a twist: All season, the designers will be working in teams to mimic real-world design, where fashion and fashion collections are group efforts.
Looking around me, I see…no team. All you get is another season of Becks! In the interest of full disclosure, this week’s design was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s 2013 Spring/Summer Haute Couture line for Chanel. Charlie sent me a link so I could see all seventeen minutes of this breathtaking show (if you’d like to see it, too, clicking that will take you to the youtube video).
I chose Chloe to model my ready-to-wear look designed for a smaller budget.

Silver-and-blue star buttons are like a night sky…
Snow flakes adorn what appear to be stockings or leggings but flare over Chloe’s boots as slacks would.
The boots are from Mattel. The snowflake fabric is from Lynne. Hope you’ve enjoyed this first design from the new season. See you next time on the runway!
Brava! And there are no weak links on your team.
Thank you! Though I think that stupid migraine could be counted as a weak link. Let’s hope it’s the only one for the season!
I’d love to own that outfit — but, um, my size, preferably! Well done, Becky!
Thanks, Meesh!
I really like what you did with the leggings – and Chloe is very pretty!
Thank you very much. But I swear she is the same face sculpt as that one Basic you said, “I will never buy you because she looks like that cat lady.” I could be wrong, though. I didn’t look it up.
Love that blue fabric and agree with Marika about the leggings!! Very nice first showing!
Thanks, Gary, and hope you enjoy a new season of PR crazy!
PS … I wish there was a way to do RuPaul’s Drag race too …
You can teach yourself to sew! Good luck! I’ll eagerly await your designs!
I love those snowflake leggings/stocking!
Thank you! And thank you again for sending me to the Chanel collection–the fashion and the presentation are the most enjoyable I’ve seen in a long time.
