S1/E2: Envy

Quickie recap: The designers are asked to design a dress around the theme "envy" using "the official fabric of Project Runway," cotton. They are then taken to a clothing store where their designs are bid on in a silent auction. You can read Tim's Take on this episode here.

And the winner of this week's challenge is ...

Kara Saun. Congrats, girl!

Kara Saun went with a military-themed dress, reasoning that "envy leads to war."

Now, that's a bit of a stretch, but it was one of the better explanations given by a designer to explain their garment, so we'll let it slide. Except, without the little cap, one wouldn't really assume that this dress had a military theme, let alone an "envy" one.

The trim detailing is nice, as is the handkerchief hem. We won't hold the bleh color against her because they had to hand-dye the cotton in the usual extremely short period of time.

We don't particularly love the dress, but it was inspired and it was extremely well-executed. But we really don't understand that styling at all. If it's military you're going for, what's with the mega-teased hair? Nothing makes us think of soldiers more than hair with a ton of product in it. And hello nipple! This is the second week in a row that Kara Saun sent a couple of nipples down the runway. If nothing else, girl knows how to make an impact.
