Summer, no doubt annoyed that I previously won with Nikki as my model, did her best for me this week–and we won! You can read what the judges had to say about each of the designs here.
Thank you to my fellow designers, Timothy and Mark, who did great jobs for:
and Figaro
.
Thanks also to the judges for giving their time and consideration to the designs, and to Heidi Gunn for producing us.
Bravo’s Project Runway designers are now into their final collection phase, with no more weekly challenges. That means the challenge the Runway Monday designers just completed is also our last regular challenge. I’m not sure what goodies we’ll have in store for you on Monday, October 13–workroom drama? an unexpected curve thrown at us by Heidi Gunn because of something that happens on the show? a model meltdown or two?–but we’ll have our final collections ready for the judges’–and your–consideration on Monday, October 20.
Thanks for following along while we did this. It was done in fun, but it was surprisingly hard work–at least for me–to conceive of a design each week then try to make it–since I don’t know much about fashion and I don’t know how to sew! The most fun has been hearing from people–friends and strangers–who I never expected would be so amused and eager to see our designs each week.
Ultimately, I think it’s the magic of Barbie. Whoever designed these dolls for Mattel really did create models in Summer, Nikki, and Teresa (aka Figaro). I hope they’d be amused to see that their dolls are getting to model original designs. I also hope they don’t file a cease and desist against Mark for Figaro.
Tomorrow this is the last day in voting for Fan Favorite … so at some point we will be announcing that as well.
good job Becky!
Thank you! How are things going for you? Are you back home with power?
oh yeah. i was home by the end of that weekend. the 14th, but i didn’t get power back till the 25th and phone back on the 26th. i still don’t have cable/internet and i am really wishing i had the supernatural power to make comcast employees spontaneously combust.
We have Comcast–in fact, if our split tree had come down, it would have brought down Comcast’s lines. Fortunately, it did not come down before we had it removed.
I’d be wild without an Internet connection, so I feel for you.
Congrats, Becky. Do you think you could design a go-go dress that I could get over my hips by November 8th? LOL
Thank you, and only if you can get a dress designed and sewed for an 11.5-inch doll over your hips. =)
The Winner two weeks in a row! A Runway Monday first! Congratulations. 🙂
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
I have to say — all three gowns are beautiful! So much
better than the boring ones on the show (really, I’m
getting impatient with the whole thing now).
It’s been fun seeing what you come up with. It’s a cliche,
but I’ve seen nothing but winners!
Congrats!
Thank you. =)
Sometimes I think we’re better than the show, too! Even if we do have four days and only have to design on an 11.5-inch scale. Let’s see them sew in a Barbie sleeve!
Congratulations, 5-time winner Becky!
You and 4-time winner Timothy and me, 3-time winner Mark (sad!)… I can’t believe we’re in the FINAL THREE! I think that can only mean… we’re going to Bryant Park! Whee!
(I think a white van is waiting outside to take me to Pleasant Hills.)
Don’t get in the white van unless they have fabric and let you take your scissors, needles, and thread. And snaps. And the little iron. And camera. And pins. And an Internet connection. And…
Don’t get in the white van.
And thanks for the congrats!
