Make It Work

BABY, YOU CAN WEAR MY CAR

Last night on PR, the designers were challenged to make outfits from car parts. After being directed to the rooftop of a random parking garage, they were given four minutes to grab whatever raw materials they could from the inside of five Saturn Hybrids. The favorite material? Seat belts, of course. At least it was the most obvious thing to make a dress out of.


Everyone was perplexed, but managed to get their stuff together in their four minutes and make it back to Parson's. As Stella made her outfit out of car seats, she said, "This is kinda gonna look like Planet of the Apes, I think." She made something different by constructing a high-waisted skirt and vest.

Later, she got to talk to her boyfriend "Ratbones" who said to her, "Are you being bad-assed or what?" She says they're going to create a fashion line together called "Zotis and Bones." Whether she wins or not, I have no doubt that Stella will get her line off the ground and be a hit. I can already see celebs like Paris Hilton or Linsay Lohan trying to be edgy on the red carpet wearing some leathah corset by "Zotis and Bones."


Meanwhile, Keith was getting defensive about having been in the bottom three and being criticized for being sloppy. He got nasty with everyone and started acting like a brat. Later when his model sat down in the skirt he made, he got pissed off and said in a very condescending manner: "I've given a small task to a model and I would hope that she could follow direction. I know it's a competition for her too, but there's so much more at stake for me than there is for her."


Terri laughed at Koto's design, which was a swing coat made out of seat belts woven together, saying that it looked like a scarecrow from Jeepers Creepers. She actually ended up on the floor, laughing. "Everyone better run for cover when this thing comes attacking you."


About Terri, Jarrell said: "She's got two faces and four patterns. That's it. Don't trust the bitch."



On the runway, Season Three finalist, Laura, took Nina's place on the panel and the celebrity judge was stylist, Rachel Zoe. Rachel loved Koto's scarecrow coat (which turned out very high fashion). "I would walk out the door in that," she gushed. They also loved Jarrell's futuristic cocktail dress.

The winner this week? Leanne. They loved her car seat dress, which looked like something Posh Spice would wear. The proportion was interesting, but the only woman who could wear the dress is a woman with no hips. Rachel Zoe said she could see it on a catwalk in Paris.


The looks they didn't like? They thought Blayne's dress fit oddly and Heidi pointed out it was "seven years no sex" for breaking the mirror that decorated the top. They didn't like Stella's look, which I thought was boring for Stella. And they really didn't like Keith's yawn of a dress, which was unfinished in the back.

He blamed the model and then blamed the judges for insulting his past looks. Michael Kors appropriately blasted him for it and the combo of the bad dress and his bad attitude got him sent home. No shock there.


On the menu for next week: Diane Von Furstenburg and a crotch that's "every woman's nightmare."
