Project Catwalk Update

Having finally worked out how to use my VCR for the repeat on Tuesday night (9pm on Sky Two)I settled back to watch a slightly anticlimatic Project Catwalk episode 4. It almost had me wishing the series would end so we could finally get season three of Las Vegas (I need my Josh Duhamel fix).

Win Tickets To Project Catwalk!

Once again I managed to live up to all girlie steretypes by setting the video to tape the wrong channel last night, thus I have an hour of a very snowy-looking Hotel Babylon instead of Project Catwalk...and nobody wants to hear about that. In lieu of this week's Project Catwalk chat (which will be up the moment I catch a re-run) how about the chance to win yourself tickets to the final show? Sky One are giving away tickets to the show at London Fashion Week. All you need to do is register and answer a stupidly simple celebrity question.

Project Catwalk Episode 3

I finally got a chance to see Episode 3 of Project Catwalk last night after missing Thursday's showing, so my apologies for taking so long with this update!

Macdonald
Judge Julien MacDonald: Evil but highly entertaining!

With Zoe gone and Debi carrying round a huge MacDonald-shaped grudge, the designers found themselves sent to the country to do a bit of mucking out, walk through some mud, wear some old granddad hats and find out their third brief. Barbour, they of wax jackets and country chic fame wanted (in the fictional world of project catwalk) to reposition their brand for the sophisticated urban women, with the help of the PC designers. So, essentially, the challenge was to make a city outfit from country materials....

Project Catwalk - Week 2

This week's Project Catwalk was all about personality and signature styles, with the remaining designers being introduced to design duo Frost French, and being put on the spot and asked to come up with one word to describe their 'look'. The choices were fairly predictable (Lesley went for 'assymetrical' which would explain the hairdo) with the slightly hysterical Zoe being unable to come up with anything and getting a bit upset as a result.

After a silly task to create a 'signature' garment in ten minutes (we only saw about five of the final pieces, of which Renato's was fabulous and Marianne's was awful) the week's main challenge was set. One hundred quid and the brief to create something 'Frisky'. Which was fine for everyone except Shakeel, who didn't know what the word meant (something which was clear from his final dress).

As the designs took shape and the designers took to pimping themselves at a celeb party, we were left with a few questions. Could Matthew (the current Catwalk Queen fave) make his spotty wool/flannel look sexy enough? Could Sushino (and his Lagerfeld-esque fan) get over his panic attacks? And could Zoe stop the hysterics for long enough to make a decent frock?
