On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, the final designers presented their collections at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week–and I was there! With my latest Summer Fun Collection by Becks! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
Okay, me either. But I was hard at work for the past two weeks putting the Summer Fun: We Heart Art Collection together for you. The guidelines given by Project Runway were these: the looks were to be for spring, one look had to be created from unconventional materials, and one look for the Tide challenge had to be washable.
We Heart Art offers fashion ideas for women who are not artists but are in careers related to art. I hope you enjoy the designs.
Ronnie: Art Gallery Owner
Noelle: Art Therapist
Valerie: Fundraiser and Donor, Beaux Arts Ball
Pamela: Art Restorer
Cari: Organizer, Community Art Fair
Shannon: Museum Curator, Contemporary Art Collection
Summer: Artist’s Model
This is the unconventional materials challenge. Summer is posing as Aphrodite emerging from the sea wearing sea shells and pearls.
Alexandria: Founder and Organizer of Art Camp for At Risk Youth
This is the Tide washable fabrics challenge.
Rusty: Art Auctioneer
Sharon: Patron of the Arts, Underwriter of Fine Arts Museum Special Collections
I hope you’ve enjoyed my designs. Thanks for playing along this season. See you back on the runway sooner than you think!
Summer’s headpiece gift of Lynne. Much of the thread was from Aunt Gwen’s collection courtesy of Lindsey. Tulle for Summer’s and Cari’s looks donated by Janet. Rusty’s boots gift of Mark G. Harris. Most other shoes by Mattel. All jewelry except Shannon’s earrings and bracelet crafted by Becks. (That’s me!) Alexandria’s and Valerie’s belts also by Becks.

All the fashion from Season 12:
Gorgeous collection! I love that colour palette.
Thanks very much, Laurel!
Awesome collection! Here are my favorites:
Ronnie’s
Valerie’s
Pamela’s coat
And Summer’s (though I dread to think what would happen if she was late getting part-way through the D.C. Metrorail’s deadly train doors of no mercy!)
Thanks so much! Yes, I think Summer’s look is definitely for the studio only. =)
And thus another PR season has been completed. Great designs all around for you. BRAVA! Can’t say the same for show. Hopefully the producers of PR will review the past season and try to avoid repeat disasters.
Thanks very much!
Will you be watching All Stars?
I skipped the last three episodes of PR. So I might be ready for All Stars.
I can’t wait to see Alyssa Milano kick some designer butt.
This is one of my favorite color combinations ever. I used it in my living room throw pillows and glassware when I lived in Lexington. I still use my chocolate brown pillows. That being said, Alexandria’s and Rusty’s looks are my favorites. I love the playfulness of Alexandria’s. Valerie’s is very pretty and Sharon’s is classy. A great final collection!!
PS: Will you be doing All Stars with the Ghouls again?
Thanks, Gary! It was fun to stay in one color palette for an entire collection.
Yes, the Monsters should be making a return. Stay tuned!
A stunning collection!
I particularly like Valerie’s and Alexandria’s. The mix of brown and blue on some of the fabric works well.
Thanks very much, Mark. =)
I really like Sharon’s dress!
And bring on the monsters, they are my fave!
Thanks–Sharon’s is my favorite of the bunch.
Monsters on high alert and ready to punk out.
