Project Runway: What's Mine is Yours
comments (18) September 10th, 2010
This week on Project Runway, the designers are challenged to be both designer and sample maker. Each person had to swap their designs with another designer, who was asked to construct their vision. The theme was resort wear and the designers created garments ranging from evening gowns to swimwear. Some of the teams worked well together, while others struggled with the gap in skill level.
The teams:
Valerie/Andy
April/Christopher
Gretchen/Casanova
Michael D./Ivy
Mondo/Michael C.
Ivy, Mondo, and Casanova were in the bottom 3, with Casanova sent home for his "matronly" design. The top 3 were Michael D., Andy, and a surprised April, who the judges universally praised and picked at the winner.
Did you agree with the judges' choice to send Casanova home over Ivy's boring look? Should Andy have won this week instead of April? Let us know in the comments.
Andy South
Gretchen Jones
Ivy Higa

What are you wearing every week on PR?
Black, black, oh yes & more BLACK!!!
Ok maybe just sand colored pants on the model wasn't the greatest idea here but at least Casanova is appealing to more than just the '20 something' crowd.
Old folks go to resorts, too, Michael!!
Chevrons on the too short shorts on Valerie's model made her legs look fat, and that type of top has been done before.
How much time did it take Mondo to draw a bikini & a jacket? Come on!!
Aprils is very different & really pushing the envelope, but what is it? A swim suit, a club dress? & how does that translate into something the average resort goer is really going to buy. It looks kind of too complicated to crawl into.
What's boring also is that a third of the designers all did some form of palazzo pant.....YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sad to see Casanova go as I think he was very talented and Valarie doubting herself(it's a slippery slope). As for Mondo though he got a low score for this weeks outfit, props to him for seeing past the group mentality of Micheal C bashing, which could be editing, but I think has more to do with pettiness and jealousy (I'm talking to your character, ivy)I guess this season has me more involved with the designers behavior than the clothes which is really disappointing!

I wish the judges ageism was not so blatant. Casanova will be missed and so will his tasteful designs. I could so see myself in his outfit at a resort dining room following a fun day golfing or around the pool.
Ivy should have spent a little more time on the Piperlime accessory wall picking out a little jewelry to go with that plain outfit of hers.

I disagree with the judges (as usual) for sending Casanova home last night. He has deserved the boot before (how about the first episode's DISASTER?), but not last night! I think that if one of those pieces were done in a more vibrant colour, the judges wouldn't have thought it was as "matronly". Maybe they'll get Ivy next time around?
The next episode looks fantastic. "Jackie O would NOT have camel toe!" Tim Gunn is always so hilarious!

I thought Casanova's outfit, which Kors and the other judges seemed to find so horrifying because old women and grandmothers and matrons and 70 year olds might wear it, was actually fairly decent looking. It didn't appear very "resortey" to me, but it certainly didn't warrant all of that hatred and disgust they expressed - and most of it directed at "old women" as much as the outfit. And for the record, I can't imagine ANY 70 year old choosing to wear that low-cut top and the bell bottom pants! As for Ivy, I think she received the brunt of a lot of hostility for her personalit, rather than for her design, and that seems way off the mark. If they are judging personalities, then that is a whole different basis for judgements; if they are judging designs, then do so. When they said, with such contempt, "she's just a seamstress", I thought their true colors were revealed because a designer SHOULD know about construction and sewing. Sometimes they judge harshly for poor sewing and construction and sometimes they seem to hold that skill in low regard, so their inconsistency is disturbing. Last comment, the guest celebrity - Kristen Bell? - actually said of April's porn outfit that she would be glad to wear that on the red carpet. One wonders: what red carpet, where? And for two adult women (Bell and April) to be so smugly patting themselves on the back for being "punk baby dolls" was retch-inducing for at least one viewer!

Andrew's design was superb and as far as I am concerned a winner.
I can see April's design for a roll in the bedroom and that is all.
I thought that Casanova's design was very stylish.
That is something a woman would wear at a resort.
If any one should have gone home it was a toss up with those butt ugly outfits from Gretchen and Ivy.
Come on judges get with the program.
