Project Runway’s Diane Von Furstenberg Challenge


Last night’s Project Runway winner was Leanne. She managed to beat out her competition two weeks in a row. Congratulations to Leanne! Her design was flawless and it captured everything Diane was looking for and more. There was not one criticism from this week’s Project Runway judges.

This week’s Project Runway challenge was to create a look for Diane Von Furstenberg’s fall collection. Needless to say working for a fashion icon like Diane Von Furstenberg will be one of the highlights this season. To take a look at Diane Von Furstenberg’s 2008 fall collection featured on last night’s Project Runway episode click here.

Okay let’s get back to Project Runway.

I wasn’t impressed with Jerell’s design last night. It looked very similar to the design he did for the Project Runway Saturn Vue Hybrid Challenge. Last week he made an outfit out of Saturn Vue auto parts. And this week he was privy to some of the best fabrics used in Diane Von Furstenberg’s fall line, so why didn’t we see a huge improvement? Riddle me that.

Let’s move on to Joe. What was he thinking? If you recall he thought this was one of his best designs and it was going to show who he really was as a designer. If that was the crème de la crème I felt he lost a lot of potential clients last night.

Right now Suede is in la la land. He needs to regroup, get focused and get it right. I can easily see his head on the chopping block soon.

I would like to give an honorable mention to Korto once again. If she’s not the Project Runway winner of the week she’s at least in the top three. I would love to see her line come down the runway at Bryant Park.


And this week we had to say good bye to my old girl Stella. What will I do without at least one leather based design on the runway every week? I will miss her she certainly added some New York flavor to the commentary. Did you hear her talk about Rachel Zoe and how Tim Gunn tried to cover it up? I thought that was amusing.
