I *Heart* Project Runway

I was so excited for this season of Project Runway. I love this show and was psyched when I heard that this season was going to have the most talented group of designers out of all the seasons. So far, I have been impressed by about half the clan and seriously unimpressed by the lack of creative challenges. The Sarah Jessica Parker episode was kind of dull and the menswear episode with Tiki Barber was a total thud. I didn't even like the challenge where the designers were asked to take old trends and make them fresh again. Newsflash: Shoulder pads will never be new or fresh and should be left alone to rot and die. You should know that already...NINA!!!
But this weeks episode was a good one, albeit a little too sponsored-product-placement-Apprentice-like for me. The designers were taken to the Hershey's store in Times Square and told that they can take as many things off the floor as they can carry to create their look. I was so excited! Finally, a fresh new challenge! Check out the best of the runway!
Kit's KitKat Punk Dress:

Kevin's Hershey's Pillows Dress:

Rami's Twizzler Packaging/York Peppermint Patty Dress:

Christian's Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Wapper Dress:

And BEHOLD Jillian's bad ass Twizzler Bustier and Skirt:

My predictions for the top three for the finale at Bryant Park: Rami, Jillian and Christian. Maybe Kevin or Kit will surprise.
