Hello dear hearts! It's time to recap tonight's episode of Project Runway, otherwise known as "Ivy is the New Gretchen".
1. Final thoughts on Peach:
Tonight's episode began with April lamenting last week's departure of the beloved Peach. April is understandably upset because she lost her roommate and is now forced to move in with the remaining girls, Gretchen, Val and Ivy. As the four ladies leave for the workroom, April quips: "We're the fantastic 4 and you've abducted April."
(FYI Mr. Fashionista informs me that if April knew anything at all, then she'd know the Fantastic 4 were soon to be the Fantastic 3).
2. A Cruise around the Harbor.
Cut to the runway. "Hello." Heidi is wearing blue satin pants with red high heels. We do not approve. She informs the remaining designers that they will be designing resort wear this week. Mike C is pretty sure he has it in the bag because he's from Palm Beach. Mondo says running around in his underwear is his idea of resort wear because he doesn't leave the house. Uh oh. This does not bode well for poor Mondo.
Next up, a cruise around New York Harbor, complete with mimosas, to get some inspiration for their resort wear challenge. We are assuming New York Harbor is pretty toxic, so I can't imagine what kind of inspiration for lounging around on the beach our designers are getting from their cruise past the Statute of Liberty. I suppose, however, that Lifetime didn't feel like coughing up the cash for a quick trip to Miami. Casanova says this challenge is very Michael Kors, which means it is
so not his challenge. Again, foreshadowing? April says she's going to do some black "creepy" resortwear. We are intrigued.
After a little sketching on the yacht, the designers are off to Mood. Tim goes around to the designers letting them know it is all about their design aesthetic and keeping true to themselves, which, is, of course, somewhat ironic since we are soon to find out that the designers will not be executing their own designs.
