I apologize for the lateness in reporting my reviews so I will start with episode seven and work back from there.

This week the remaining ten designers had a very unusual innovative challenge; make an outfit out of recycled automobile parts from the Saturn Hybrid vehicles.

The designers found themselves on the roof of a building, a group of new hybrids were on the pad, the designers had four (4) minutes to take what they want, place it in a metal shopping cart and wheel the parts away.

I saw seat belts, carburetors, mat covers, dashboard and headlight parts, air filters, designers were breaking things to make them fit right.

Two obstacles came up during this episode. Kenley’s model dropped out of the competition so her original design for her runway model had to be altered. Nevertheless, she did it and made a amazing car filter dress which looked sensational on her model Germane.

The other problem I saw was that the pressure (and criticisms) of Keith’s designs just got to him and as Michael Korrs told him, “everyone will make a judgment on no matter what you make, so you just take it and move on (or something to that effect). Problem being he was rude, crude and make the other designers nervous with his “chip on my shoulder attitude.” His unfinished garment cost him from being on next week’s show and given the traditional “Auf Weidersehen” from Heidi.

Also, asking his model Alyssa not to sit down (which she did) causing him to get really upset and rework his skirt didn’t help. Why didn’t he make the outfit so she could sit down in the first place?

Anyway, did you see what Korto did for her model’s outfit on Katrina? She took seat belts and weave them into a incredible wearable, and gorgeous silver and light brown checkerboard coat. It looked so good Guest Judge Stylist Rachel Zoe, wanted to buy the garment off of Katrina’s back, LOL.

For me the show stopper, and just as I expected, the winning outfit came from Leanne. A black and “feathered white” bustier re cocktail dress made from recycled car seats. She rolled them up and sewed them on in such a way that looked gorgeous on model Karalyn, I even loved the feathered look of her hairstyle that just made the look. I am amazed at how the hair styles make such a dramatic difference in the model’s looks on the runway, awesome!

Other sensational outfits were from Jerell, who made a resin molded futuristic styled dress that would have made the top three except of the amazing work of the other designers.

and Terri’s model Xareira looked “super hot” in her cries cross black top and gorgeous leather “biker” pants. Xareira is such a beautiful and gorgeous model! <3 <3 <3

Overall, the judges were impressed on the craftmanship and workmanship of the garmets the designers made. I have not heard that kind of discussion before usually it’s more like, “I am dissapointed this week.” or “they need to stop slacking or playing it safe.”

As far as for the final three or four for fashion week, I see Leanne, Korto, Suede, Terri and possibly Jerell however, any of the designers could falter or come up with some exceptional work. I was really impressed with Korto’s coat and Leane’s cocktail dress this week.
