Alright, bitches, we had the second episode of Project Runway. Ready for what I have to say? No? Well here it is anyway!
Who was the guest judge this time? Who made Jack freak out like this?

I had read previously that Sarah Jessica Parker would be making an appearance this season, but I definitely did not expect it to be this soon! The first episode was severely lacking in creativity for $50,000 worth of material to design WHATEVER they wanted, so I guess they had to break out the big guns quick. Anyway, SJP has a line at Steve and Barry’s stores nationwide, called Bitten. I have been wanting to go check out this line in person since it was released, but just haven’t had the time to make it out to the nearest Steve and Barry’s. Everything is suppose to be under $20, so I am very curious about the quality of these items. I really don’t think it would be that bad, because Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t exactly seem like the type of girl to throw her name on just anything. I kind of have a love/hate relationship with SJP. She kind of gets on my nerves, but I adore Sex and the City! Anyone else like that? BTW, Sex and the City COMPLETE series box set is on sale at Best Buy for $99 until Saturday. I’m kind of tempted to buy it but probably won’t. :[

Anyway, back to the show! The designers had to come up with a design that would work with the Bitten line, Sarah Jessica had to choose 7 designers to move forward with their designs and the remaining designers pair up with one of the chosen designers. The catch: the 2 piece outfit had to retail for less than $40. The cost of construction vs the retail cost is vastly different, so the designers were only give $15 to work with at Mood.
Sarah Jessica ends up choosing Rami, Christian, Kit, Victorya, Ricky, Elisa(!!!), and Marion.
Check out final pieces after the jump!
Rami/Jillian: Rami came up with a basic shirt dress and leggings. Cute simple and stylish. I’m not to sure about the big thing on top of the model’s head. Oh wait…that’s her hair…ew.

Kit/Chris: I loved the idea of this. It was very cute. I LOVED the top and would probably wear it on a regular basis if I had. The brown leggings had to go though. Maybe if they were a different color it would have looked better.

Ricky/Jack: I loved the color of this dress. I would totally wear this with some flat black knee high boots. LOVED it.

Elisa/Sweet P: Poor Sweet P, she was terrified of Elisa! They did turn it out though. This outfit came out very well. I’m not thrilled on the colors. I think if the hooded cape was maybe like darker grey and the dress another color, like a deep purple or burgundy, it would have been better. I tend to lean toward darker colors though so that’s probably just me.

Now for the winner:
Victorya/Kevin: OMG. I would buy this in a heartbeat. I loved it. I knew it would win from the second they showed it on the model. The colors were lovely and worked very well together, plus you have two pieces. You can wear the dress with or without the vest and the vest could work with so many other outfits. It was amazing. I will go to Steve and Barry’s and buy this dress. Gorgeous.

Now for the bottom two:
Christian/Carmen: Christian thought his shit was so good! He was super cocky and thought he would win. Hah, that’s what you get for talking back to Tim Gunn and looking like an asshole. Plus, your design was so not cute. That jacket was hideous. Carmen was annoying in judging with the crying and OMGZ I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WANT ME TO CHOOSE. WAH WAH WAH. Duh, they do that to everyone when they work in teams, you should have expected it.

Marion/Steven: I honestly didn’t even like the design that Marion proposed to Sarah Jessica Parker so I wasn’t surprised when it turned out awful. One of the first things I said about it was something about Pocohontas and hah, that’s exactly what Michael Kors had to say. It’ was ugly and stretched out and just blah.

Who was auf’d?

See ya, Marion!
Also, if anyone happens to want to see some n00dz of Jack of Project Runway, you wish has been granted? haha. Definitely, NSFW, there people.

I loooove Ricki/Jack’s dress but I have to go with Rami/Jillian’s kimono cut work shirt-dress for sheer personal wearbility. Nice coverage!
Oh man, I checked out the Bitten line at my Steve & Barry’s (it was the first time I had ever been in that store) and frankly, I was appalled. The t-shirts weren’t hemmed, just badly sheared. And everything had a very generic fit. The prices were unbeatable, however, I would rather buy myself dinner than a see-through, unflattering, unfinished top.
/rant.
That red dress. I WANT IT!
i have to agree with rachel about the sjp “bitten” line. my mom and i were all excited about it, but when we got to the store, it was just basic, cheap stuff.
kind of like old navy-esque, but not even as nice.
nothing special. all generic, solid color, blah. big dissapointment.
and happy thanksgiving! i forgot that part. =)
Jessi - the more I look at Rami’s design, the more I like it. I would wear it often!
Rachel & Tia - That is a total bummer. I guess it should be expected but still. Booo.
Aly - Isn’t it gorgeous? I kind of need it!
First of all, I’m so bummed that Project Runway is on when I’m at work. So bummed. I was obsessed with last season. Must. Get. Tivo.
Second of all, SJP’s line is AMAZING. I had my doubts, too, because alot of Steve and Barry’s stuff seems a bit shabby. But if you stick to only her Bitten stuff, it’s all fabulous. I’m so addicted. (Her jewelery is awesome, as well! Ahhh!)
forget Rami’s dress I WANT THAT BAGGGGGG!!!
I’ve heard Bitten is pretty cheap and unfinished which is probably why Elysa made it so far! And the same with Vera Wang’s stuff at Kohls. I’d rather go broke on the real stuff, thanks!
PS Why does Jack have a tramp stamp??
I haven’t worn any of the Bitten stuff or seen it in person, but from the photos I think it’s adorable. Amanda Bynes has a Steve + Barry’s line as well that has some really cute stuff. I keep meaning to check it out.
I love Project Runway but I don’t get to watch it unless there is a marathon. Wish I would have gotten to watch this though. I love SJP and I love Sex in the City.
