PROJECT RUNWAY.....BEHIND THE SCENES BLOG of Season 18 Project Runway "Sheer" Challenge: PHOTOS!

Last Looks--Models in "Sheer"-inspired looks from Season 18 "Project Runway" designers, backstage during "Last Looks"--Season 18 "Project Runway" Bravo TV "Sheer" Episode, Brooklyn NY

In Episode 8 "Sheer Genius", the remaining designers on Season 18 "Project Runway", were tasked to create a look inspired by the "Sheer" Trend. The episode began with the models posing behind the scrim-like "wall" of the stage. I caught them backstage before they made their "appearance"...

The designers created "Sheer"-inspired looks according to their definitions of SHEER and their own design aesthetics--some went elegant sheer, some chic sheer, and one designer didn't even know what SHEER was (Hello Victoria!). Take a look at my Behind-the-Scenes photos from the challenge:
