Project Runway, Ep. 10.5

Challenge: designers work in teams to create a cohesive line for the working women. The teams will be directing their own photo shoot snd the winner will be featured in Marie Claire magazine.

Teams:
Team 6: Sonjia, Elena, Melissa, Dmitry, Alicia, Raul
Team 5: Nathan, Ven, Chris, Fabio, Gunnar

Everyone makes it clear that they HATE working in teams. You just know that there is going to be tons of drama and conflicting ideas.

Tim enters the workroom to visit the designers  and they couldn't be more of a depressed bunch! Nobody is happy about anything! Geesh! Suck it up people-you will have to work with other people in the real world.

The Runway

Team 5

Nathan-I like the top: the print is pretty...but I can't imagine someone wearing an off-the shoulder top like that to work. 9

Christopher-It's nice, but not outstanding. 8

Gunnar-I like the print down the sides of the skirt. The skirt is way too high-waisted. 7

Fabio-The headband looks ridiculous. The top and skirt are very blah. 6

Ven-Definitely something someone would wear to work. It's simple, yet sophisticated. However, it's not very different from anything you'd see in any store. 8

Team 6

Melissa-Love the color!!! Way too high fashion for the workplace though; especially the almost-avant garde big neck. 7

Elena/Alicia #1-Very workplace appropriate. A little too plain looking though. 7

Raul/Sonjia-I love this look! I love the black top, I love the blue skirt...gorgeous! 10

Elena/Alicia #2-Looks very similar to their first outfit. Pants, jacket, dark colors...all the same. No one would wear something with shoulders that big to work. She looked like she had football pads under her shirt. Yes, Elena: we get it, you like big shoulders. 7

Dmitry-Very interesting use of color blocking, not sure if it's a little too much for the workplace or not. It's still really pretty though. 9

Sonjia/Raul-Love this dress! It looks amazing from far away, but as you look at it closer, the draping and bunching at the front of the skirt is a bit strange. 9

Both teams ended up with the same exact score!

Winner: Team 6
Winning Designer: Melissa
Auf Wiedersehen (again):  Raul
