Designers Will Work with Diane von Furstenberg In Project Runway

Project Runway gives the designers their due as they get to work with fashion icon, Diane von Furstenberg for this week’s challenge and one designer will definitely not make the grade tonight in a big way sending them off of the show in what would have to be the biggest disappointment from a designer’s standpoint. With the loss of Keith from last week, Suede was lamenting that the guy ranks were getting thin but was glad to still be standing.Heidi informed the designers that they would be working with a fashion icon this challenge and, lo and behold, Tim Gunn came out and joined Heidi. No, he was not the icon, but he is truly dapper enough to be one. Tim gathered up the ragtag bunch and headed to the meat-packing district in New York where all of the designers hang out and were escorted into Diane von Furstenberg’s studio foe the next challenge dynamics.

Diane wanted the designers to design a look for her fall collection based on the character that Marlene Dietrich played in her movies and that the winner’s design would be sold by American Express to its members. One of the most exclusive prizes to date and the chance to pick through Diane’s own personal fabrics to boot for the challenge…Priceless.

All of the designers seemed to want to be at the top of their game for this one if nothing else for the exposure of having their design sold by Diane von Furstenberg. Definitely a resume booster. Leanne, even with her immunity, was preparing to push the boundaries as she had nothing to lose in this challenge. Joe was noticing the layering that Von Furstenberg was know for and decided to go in that vein and Kenley noticed that everyone seemed to be doing a 3 piece suit of some kind.
