On the first episode of season three of Lifetime’s Project Runway All Stars, the designers were asked to create a fashion-forward punk look inspired and judged by punk rock icon Debbie Harry of Blondie.
While the Model Muses are on vacation, the Monsters will come out to play. Operetta, daughter of the Phantom of the Opera, is a musician and a bit of a rebel, so she was the natural choice for this challenge. A little plaid, a little leather, a safety pin, and we’re ready to punk out.
Operetta removes her distressed brown leather jacket to show off a simple knit tank with unfinished neck and sleeve holes.
A detail of the back of the skirt, with fasteners made from lacing brads.
The total look:
What does Debbie Harry think?
“Rapture.”
Thanks for joining me for another season. See you next time on the runway!
Plaid fabric donated by Tom; gray knit fabric donated by Tim. Lacing brads donated by Lynne. Thank you to Marika for the doll suggestion and to Lindsey for fashion input. Operetta’s lace stockings and Debbie Harry’s fishnets, as well as boots, by Mattel. Debbie Harry’s dress a Becks original.
I knew she was the perfect choice, and I think you managed to skip the mistakes that some of the designers made, you worked punk essentials in a fashionable look… good work! I especially love the button detail
How good did Debbie look? Amazing, right?
And while I love Seth Aaron, The Cure? Punk? Not so much.
Thanks! Yes, Debbie Harry looked great.
Great first look!! Especially the skirt. Unlike some on the show, yours was fashion forward without losing the punk in translation.
Thanks very much, Gary. =)
Love this one! Well done!
Thank you, Laurel!
Alas, I wasn’t ready to do the All Stars PR, yet. So I think checking in for your fashions and the Monster models will be my PR watching for a week or two. Good work again!
Thanks so much. I hope last season of PR didn’t ruin you forever.
I just felt like they were scraping the bottom of the barrel with the challenges and quite a few of the designers, too. Also a lot of the guest judges were second rate and annoying, too.
Did you make the tights too?
Nope, those are Model Muse tights from Mattel.
Rapture.
That’s what she said. 😉
