Runway finalist Kenley Collins to debut Spring 2010 collection
It had to happen and it did: The dreaded odd-concoction challenge. In previous seasons we saw garments made out of newspapers, flowers and food. This week Tim herded the designers over to a hardware store to create their most dazzling work out of nuts, bolts and garbage bags.
The highs…
Surprisingly, the collections that walked the catwalk were fairly interesting and standout designs from Maya, Jonathan, Amy and Jay made this challenge a cool look at fashion and innovation.
Maya’s retro Venetian blind-cord jacket with window screen dress and dangling keys necklace ensemble was the highlight of the evening. While Jay’s Hefty trash bag pseudo-leather pants ensemble was also nice to look at, Maya’s creation was just so couture and glamorous that she really should have been the winner.
The lows…
Not sure who decides to bring in these guest “judges” but two additional judges is really too many. Let’s face it Runway fans pretty much tune in for the regulars—Michael, Nina and Heidi. Bringing in celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Rachel Billson and Rebecca Romijn hasn’t added any additional flavor to Project Runway. So what were the producers thinking when they dragged in no-names like Isabel Toledo and Stephen Webster. No one cares what the guests say because no one really does it better than Kors. Auf with lame guest judges!
The quote of the week…
This week the line of hilarity was delivered by the miss diva fashion director herself, Nina Garcia who queried, “Why did you choose not to do any clothing?” in reference to Emilio’s model clad only in washers and pink yarn.
The only thing more entertaining was Emilio’s lispy explanation for his stripper bathing suit outfit. “I wanted to create a very strong, sexy woman.” So he decided to send her down dressed in her birthday suit.
For next week’s challenge, design nothing and sell it to the judges.

Isabel Toledo, a no-name? The woman designed Michelle Obama's inauguration dress, what do you mean, no-name? Her name was all over the news!
A birthday suit is always in fashion.
Birthday suits never go out of style.
You can't outgrow your birthday suit.
Birthday suits always fit right.

Emelio is a hack. There, I said it. The judges and designers act like he's this powerhouse when his designs are anything you'd see at Macy's. His mom/daughter outfit was pure Gap. As for the washer bikini he flat out lied. He had no intention of making a bikini whatsoever. He was forced into it because his budget wouldn't allow for a washer-sequin number. Aside from it's hideousness it had to be the most uncomfortable thing to wear.
"At least you made it a one piece". A judge compliments, which Emelio proudly accepts.
Yeah, hid did make it a one piece. He had no choice! It wouldn't stay on the model!!!!
Send him packing.
