Project Runway: Season 9: Episode 1 -"Come as You Are"

Episode 1, Here are the Submissions!

We have our submissions for the first Project Runway challenge of season 9. And wow, we had 29 artists submit, including 2 guests. Some participants included images of their bench so we can see what they had to work with...

Here is a recap of the challenge:


The Project Runway Challenge:
The designers had to use the clothes they slept in the night before plus one of their bedsheets to create a new look. They also had access to dye and trimmings.

For our EtsyMetal Translation:
Since this challenge was all about using what you have in an unexpected way, and since most of us don’t sleep in jewelry, the challenge this week is to make something only from material that is sitting on your bench! If you don’t have a bench or access to your studio, then choose another area like your desk. Since the designers got a sheet, we get some sheet metal. You are welcome to use enhancements like stones from your supplies. But the final piece should be made of a majority of your found pieces if possible. Ok now, make it work!

We had so many submissions that I am putting next weeks challenge up here so nobody misses it!


Next Weeks Challenge:

Episode 2: "My Pet Project"
Air: 8.4.11
My Lifetime, Thursdays, 9pm PST.

The Project Runway Challenge:
In this episode, the challenge was to create an outfit using pet store supplies. They were allowed to use muslin as well, but were encouraged not to.

For our EtsyMetal Translation:
Yup, you guessed it. The EM challenge is to make a piece of jewelry using pet store supplies! Try to limit your time in the pet store to 30 minutes. You may use some metal in the piece but try to use as little as possible. Make it work!

Hi everyone, I saw the challenge in Rebecca photostream at Flickr and I wish I can do this challenge with. I´m just a beginner but wanted to start a challenge that keeps me practicing and improving my ´´so basic´´ skills. :-)

This is my work for episode 2:
