Denim its Da Norm

For most of us, Denim is pretty much a staple of our everyday lives. Last nights pRoject Runway Challenge involved the designers being told to take some Levi's 501's and do something "Iconic" with them.

I have to admit, Project Runway is my new favorite show. I hate that it is reality and that I like it - but I just do. I enjoyed last night's episode since it had all the requisites: stress, ugly clothes, and pretty clothes.

I have to say, i'm not sure that i really know what Iconic means in terms of fashion, but i didn't think that Ricky's dress was iconic. It was a bit short. I did like the button usage - which i think is what made it win. Nothing says 501's like the button fly.

I liked a bunch of the designs though. I really enjoyed Christians. To me, it was iconic - it actually spoke to me. i looked at it and got a wow factor - it was a look. Most of the rest of the stuff didn't have that shot. I also really liked Sweet Pea's outfit. That dress was just plain old cute! I would totally wear it. The fact that I would totally wear it was probably what made it an "unwinable" dress. One look at two Jackets and I knew that Jillian and Victorya were out. I'm glad Victorya was out - her "trench jacket" was really hideous. Jillians wasn't that good - but I could at least tell that she had put some work into. I felt like I could have done Victorya's!
