On this week’s episode of Project Runway, Tim Gunn took the remaining five Project Runway contestants on a field trip to the Getty Center. The contestants were asked to create a look inspired by the Getty Center. Carol Hannah drew inspiration from an beautiful, ornate French bed. Irinia and Gordana were both inspired by paintings – Irinia by John William Godward’s Mischief and Repose and Gordana by Monet’s The Portal of Rouen Cathedral. Christopher was inspired by a rock fountain and algae. And lastly, the Getty Center’s architecture inspired Althea. In the end, Carol Hannah, Irinia, and Althea moved onto Bryant Park and Gordana and Christopher were sent packing. Did you agree with the top 3?

Rent the Runway

diane von furstenberg I just discovered a fab new site – Rent the Runway. How great does that sounds? It’s like music to my ears. This is perfect, I might just use this for my cousin’s wedding this spring.

Do you have a major event coming up? A wedding? A reunion? A holiday party? Or perhaps just a hot date? You want to look good, but you can’t afford to spend a ton on a dress – cause let’s face it, those dresses can cost a lot for something you’ll wear only once. Rent the Runway will let you rent designer pieces for $50 – $200! You can select a dress from various hot designers such as Proenza Schouler, Herve Leger, Diane von Furstenberg, and many more. You can rent the dress up to four days, or eight days with additional cost. You also get two sizes to ensure the perfect fit. If you live in NYC, there’s even same day delivery. You don’t even have to clean the garment, they’ll take care of that. There’s also a pre-paid packing to ensure easy return. And there’s no membership fees. Sounds like a winner.

You can sign up through our invitation link or be added to the waitlist.
