Welcome to Austin Texas! Nick Verreos welcomes Season 15 "Project Runway" Top Five designers on Episode 12 "Best Western Unconventional Materials Challenge
This week on Lifetime's "Project Runway", the designers flew to Austin Texas for their last Challenge before NY Fashion Week. As it turns out, it was yet another Unconventional Materials Challenge using materials found from Georgetown Farm Supply and Stubbs BBQ. I was honored to have been on hand to help Tim Gunn introduce the Challenge at the Best Western Plus Austin City Hotel. There is lots to discuss so let's just get to my "Top 5 OMG Moments" of this Episode as well as my MyLifetime.com RECAP at the end of this blog!

#2 OMG! I’M BAAAACK!!!! I’m always honored to join my
“Project Runway” family and be part of any new season! As a Fashion Designer,
my search for inspiration takes me around the world, and I’ve been thrilled to
partner with BEST WESTERN on many of my journeys, and now, honored to join up
with Tim Gunn to help introduce this week’s Challenge.
It's Getting Hot 'N Here: Nick Verreos and Tim Gunn, Best Western Plus Austin City Hotel, Austin Texas
Now, while y’all saw Tim
and I stand by the pool looking all dapper and easy/breezy, little did you know
that it was about 110 Degrees, VERY HUMID and both Tim and I were SCHVITZING
like Hookers in Church (Well, mostly I was!). Lord knows that all I could think
about was diving into that pool, BUT we had more important matters at hand,
which was announcing this Unconventional Materials Challenge!
This week, Cornelius did another sheath
dress...
Roberi never met a One Shoulder Asymmetrical Dress he didn’t like...
Rik
can’t step away from all the black and A-line...
And Erin loves
a good flower applique as much as...
Laurence loves a defined shoulder. OK kids,
we get what you’re all about, now give us something a little more…unexpected!
#5 OMG! We Have Our Final Four! First off, I will say
that to a large extent, the designers did redeem themselves from last week’s
supposedly Avant-garde Challenge. First off, Rik’s vinyl record and guitar
strap dress was edgy and impeccably made; it was very Robert Palmer Girl.
Laurence’s Gladiator Queen was powerful, sexy and mysterious, all at the same
time. Erin ’s guitar pick, meal worms and
sunshade dress was an Applique Tour De Force!
And last but not least, Roberi’s
“Anxiety Knot Dress” (above) was unique, thoughtful and almost, a work of wearable art!
Congrats to the Final Four! Can’t wait to see what you guys will be creating
for Fashion Week and how Tim reacts to your collections at those infamous Home
Visits!! Until next time….
Now, here's my MyLifetime.com RECAP:
Season 15, Episode 12 Recap: It’s High Fashion, Y’all!
Season 15 is heading into the final stretch and we are down
to the top 5 designers for this season of “Project Runway.” Even though
last week’s episode featured an avant-garde/unconventional challenge, for some
reason, this week’s was unconventional as well. Am I the only one getting the
feeling that Tim, Heidi and the producers don’t think these designers have
pushed themselves to their design limit? With this episode, they were given the
impetus to go farther than ever. Let’s see if they did…
The episode begins with Tim and Heidi walking onto the
runway stage with Heidi reminding the designers that this is the “big final
challenge”–the last one before NY Fashion Week. Tim then tells them that “a
change of scenery” is due. Miss Klum, in her best German-accented Southern
twang, announces that the designers will be going to Austin , TX
The designers arrive in Austin , TX
