Relax Style-- Models (L to R) Sarah Victoria, Mimi Tao, and DD Smith in designs from Kristina Kharlashkina, Octavio Aguilar, and Chasity Sereal--Episode 8 "Couch Couture", Season 19 Project Runway
Continuing with my "Project Runway" BLOG for this 19th Season of the show, it's time for my "Photo Recap" from Episode 8. The 8th episode, entitled "Couch Couture", involved designing an outfit for these post-COVID fashion times...in other words: Comfy style. Think athleisure, joggers, relaxed stay-at-home fashion but yes, more "upgraded", since after all, this is "Project Runway".
Chic PJ's--Models (L to R) DD and Sarah Victoria in designs from Chasity Sereal and Kristina Kharlashkina--Episode 8 "Couch Couture", Season 19 Project Runway
In the past 2 years since the pandemic, many people have been discussing the supposed end of Dressing Up, and the rise of "Pajama Style"...so it made perfect sense to have a challenge around this.

A bonus to this challenge was that last year's winner of "Project Runway" designer Geoffrey Mac, came on the set to visit with the designers--along with the AMAZING Cyndi Lauper. While working as Consulting Producers, David and I were so excited to be reunited with Geoffrey and get to say "Hello!" (and gossip, of course).
And now, time for all the photos I took of the designs from this Episode:
