Just in case you have not pay my previous post a visit, Project Runway is a competition reality series features host supermodel Heidi Klum and a panel of industry luminaries, including judges Michael Kors, top women's and men's wear designer and Nina Garcia, Elle magazine fashion director, as they decide who is “in” and who is “out.”, and Tim Gunn as a mentor to the contestants as they navigate weekly fashion challenges. - BravoTv, 2008-
Heidi Klum, can't believe that she's already at the age of 34, mother of 3 child! @_@
Well, there're all together 14 episode, and I won't wanna talk episode by episode, bet you will take time to read all as well. I'll kiss this post, keep it short and simple I mean.
At the beginning of the show, there were 15 contestants. Carmen, Chris, Christian, Elisa, Jack, Jillian, Kevin, Kit, Marion, Rami, Ricky, Simone, Steven, Sweet P and Victorya. One or more designers are eliminated each week.
I'll only show which designs that impressed me the most. >.<

I like episode 6 - Eye Candy so much. In that episode, they brought designers to the Hershey's flagship store in Time Square, New York to crab whatever they want as their raw material. yaya, it's all about chocolate and candy!! hahaha. They were so happy with this task and having fun eating chocolate while sewing. =)
Design by Chris, modeled by Marcia. Wow, he actually turn the Hersey's chocolate bag into a dress! (hmmm, I wonder what it should call, is not dress, right?)
Christian's design, modeled by Lea. Omg, isn't it gorgeous? He using only the wrapping papers of to Peanut butter cups to finish this dress and once again complete it earlier that other designers! He's a genius!
Somehow, the winner of the challenge was Rami. Sorry, I did not save the photo, coz I don't really like it. hahaha.

Episode 8 - En Grade. In this episode, designers required to creat an avant-garde design inspired by their models' hairstyles (of course, models went saloon before they matched up with the designers) and a ready-to-wear design that expresses the essence of the avant-garde design.
This challenge, designers worked in a team of 2. The team comprised ofChris and Christian won this challenge and their design, INCREDIBLY fierce~ hahaaha, Christian overused phrase, fierce. B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Episode 9 - Even Designers Get the Blues. Their challenge was to create an iconic denim look that captures the spirit of the 501 legacy using Levi's denim.
Ricky was the winner of this challenge. Wohoo, if I'm slim enough, I would wanna wear this, nice!Rami's design. Another very nice design! I like Rami so much.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
On the 11th episode, designers have been brought to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The designers had had to choose an inspirational piece from one of three wings -- the Greek and Roman Sculpture courtyard, the European Painting wing, or the Temple of Dendur -- and create a look of their choice.
OMG!!!! Design by Christian, modeled by Lisa. Oh my, this outfit is so so nice, and yeah, he won this challenge. What had inspired him was a Spanish painting!
Jillian's design, modeled by Michelle. Bravo!!!
Rami's design! His style, dripping. Thumbs up!
Their designs can make me cry I tell you. >.<

Commercial Break
I realised that I didn't show the designers' photo. Wonder how they look like? hahaha.
From the left: Jillian, Christian, Chris and Rami. They were the top 4 designers. 3 of them (exclude Chris) were my favourite designers!!! and they were also the final top 3!!! =)
-----------------------------------------------------
Finale. In Bryant Park.
Rami and Jillian. They look like couple, aren't they? hahaha, but they are not, not couple I mean.
Christian! (-3-)
Guess what, besides Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham was the guest judge! fuiyoh.
Each of the 3 finalist has been given 3 months to complete a collection of 12 clothes for the final. I have edit their collection by combining all the designs into a photo respectively, to save my time uploading them here.
Jillian's collection. Ermmm, not bad, but not my favourite I have to say.
Rami's collection. Omigosh, I heart his collection so much, wearable and adorable!!!! And it's colorful if compare with the other two designers'.
Christian's collection. As always, his designs are superb! =) He is just 21-year-old! And Victoria likes his design so much and asked him to design for her.
Who's the winner?
Yeah, Christian was the Project Runway season 4 winner!!! I love their design so so much, either one of them wins, I also will be happy. -.-
Okay, I'm waiting for the 5th season which will be showed on July 2008! =) can't wait to see another good designers!!! Owh, how I wish that I can design that well too~~~ then I can design and sew my own clothes! So nice! But I doubt of my own creativity, as Heidi said: In fashion, one day you are in, and the next day, you'll out! >.<
(p/s: this would be my toughest post, so far, =.= I've taken like more than 5 hours to write this. T_____T I also wonder why so hard.)
