TV Review: ‘Project Runway’ designers flip out in "Fashion Flip"

Faithful Project Runway watchers who have seen every season recognized the recurring Mary Kay challenge in Thursday night’s episode, though it caused the designers to crack.
This challenge allows the designers to take the inspiration from the classic and iconic fashion staple and give it their own modern twist. The winner receives a $5,000 prize and will have the look featured in an ad campaign.
The designers finally make their first trip to Mood, and immediately I’m at peace. All is right in the world. And check out those hot, new see-through Mood bags!

In case you’re having a bad day here’s Tim gunn running after swatch.
The nine-hour challenge gives the designers a lot to contemplate. It’s the New York woman — the ideal woman that the fashion industry created. She is successful, playful and feminine. The designers went in all kinds of directions — most in bad taste — of who they believed the New York woman was.  
It was difficult to understand the thought process of anyone this week. For the first 40 minutes, there weren’t any signs that these looks had a prayer of being complete within the deadline. All we could see were unfinished looks, until what seemed like hair and makeup time (cue Mary Kay makeup product placement).
No one could make a decision. The ones who were confident, such as Ashley and Laurie, weren’t even featured as much this episode. There were more tears in the design room than sewing machines (looking at you, Amanda).

Tim Gunn comes in for critique and gives Candice the stamp of approval for her leather dress, while Amanda calls Candice’s skills “mediocre.” OK, you haven’t won a challenge yet, so stop. (Just kidding, we like drama.)
Amanda is in mental breakdown mode, and instead of hyping herself up, her jealousy of Candice is blocking her ability to focus. She sounds whiney and she’s already been in the bottom twice in a row, so it’s time to rally.  
Gabrielle decided to just not even make an outfit until Tim would OK her sketch. Again, it’s hard to level with the thought processes this week.
Lindsey compared New York to a person you hadn’t seen in three years and based her design on what you would wear at that reunion. Tim Gunn admired her cute story, but it’s just too bad it wasn’t a creative writing challenge.
Blake plays the ditz, which is causing everyone to underestimate him. Tim is “baffled” by Blake’s materials and how difficult they will be to sew together. We need to keep the camera off of Blake for more than seven seconds because his procrastination is so contagious I might not ever get anything done ever again.
Swapnil’s little black dress was one stitch away from being a either Breakfast at Tiffany’s beauty or a cheap dress for Atlantic City.
Thankfully, it came out as the former and placed him in the top three.

It’s just not Gabrielle’s day — her fabrics are all wrong; the sewing machine can’t make the stitch she wants; and on the runway, the dress collapsed into a badly sewn, dying star.
via giphy.com
Jake’s pink sequin dress was cheap-looking, and it was safe. It wasn’t Mary Kay at all. It was an underage girl trying to unsuccessfully dress older, but he squeaked by. Moving on.
All the designers that thought they were on top — Ashley, Edmond, Kelly and Laurie — ended up passing through in the middle.

That left Candice, Swapnil and Blake on top.
Sorry, but why does Blake keep receiving high scores?! Like he got blood on his dress, granted he covered it up, but blood. The only thing I liked was the necklace, and he didn’t make that.
The judges liked his innovation and ability to work under pressure, but is it seriously that bad in this season that we are applauding the two basic skills that are required to be on this show in the first place? He did take a risk. I’ll give him that.
via ew.com
Regardless, Candice rocked the top again with her reverse leather-seamed dress and the judges loved everything about her design. They complimented her for having a voice through her designs. Shout out to her model’s boobs — they were immaculate.
via ew.com
Lindsey’s imaginary date with New York ended in a mistake. The design was exactly what guest judge, Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men), described it as: “heavy.” The model was “swallowed” by the three-piece outfit and it just missed its focus.
Amanda ended up on the bottom for the third time. Her fear came true, which is sad because the wrap dress had the potential but her mind was elsewhere. Judge Zac Posen called it “half a ‘50s toga.”
Gabrielle got chewed out for her chewed up hem that she said happened because of her scissors, which she said she dropped six times and wouldn’t cut anymore.
After it all, Blake wins the freaking Mary Kay challenge.
I demand a recount. I just don’t understand. The judges even said Blake’s design was “not well made.” I could’ve sewn that, and for me, re-sewing buttons requires hard concentration.
Amanda was saved, leaving Heidi to say “auf wiedersehen” to Gabrielle.
Tim Gunn was unnerved by Gabrielle leaving, causing me to pray he doesn’t use his Tim Gunn-save on her as he has the power to bring back one eliminated designer all season. But, by the end we saw her pack up her jenky scissors and leave.
Candice got jipped. She accessorized and nailed the hair and makeup. The judges went as far to say the look was “very Mary Kay.” I see Mary Kay with Candice’s design, not Blake’s.

We now have to wait two more episodes for the chance for Blake to be out.

The 20 autumn fashion trends you need to know about

Where can you get a decent maxi coat? What is school-bully hair and should you be scared? And which decade are you supposed to be chanelling? Here is our guide to the clothes that will fill the shops this season – and what you will actually be wearing

Models for Gucci autumn/winter

1. Gucci on the high street
If you’ve seen any of the following in Zara or Topshop – shaggy faux-fur coats, pussybow blouses or floral dresses that look like 1970s upholstery – then you’ve already spotted the beginnings of the Guccification of the high street. This is all thanks to the brand’s new creative director, Alessandro Michele, who has transformed Gucci from a purveyor of bling-tastic yacht chic to a haven for glamorous geeks, and has won the hearts of the fashion industry in the process. High-street homages are everywhere; spectacles and a bobble hat are the finishing touches.

2. The muse

The fashion industry has decreed that Wes Anderson’s most stylish character, Margot Tenenbaum, is this season’s muse; her shabby fur coats and grubby eyeliner exactly what the industry wants to achieve right now. We don’t disagree, but we think the much-missed Deirdre Barlow is an even more apt inspiration: she did oversized glasses and prim blouses on a 1970s north-of-England budget while Anderson was still in short trousers.

3. The fantasy ride

This Ford Fairlane 66, seen with Lara Stone in the current H&M advert, encapsulates all you need to know about the bleached-out vibes fashion is feeling for autumn/winter, in motor form.

4. But are we doing the 70s or the 80s this season?
Loewe autumn/winter show

Forget the Labour leadership – this is the crucial debate of the moment. Actually, we’re doing both. Most of fashion has been mining the 70s in a big way, but Jonathan Anderson has gone to the 80s. Think multicoloured oversized jackets, baggy knee-high boots and huge mismatched plastic earrings at his eponymous label, JW Anderson, and neon zigzag belts, big-shouldered coats and lurex dresses at Loewe, where he is also creative director. This is entirely wearable if you don’t go too OTT: Zara’s matching lurex pleated skirt and top is a good place to start.

5. Clever knitwear

Fashion and culture seem bizarrely convinced that the thicker your knit, the sharper your brain, with Aran jumpers and cable knits used as shorthand for authenticity and intelligence. See: Max Mara’s autumn/winter collection, which was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s Ulysses-reading bookish side and the black-and-cream chunky cardigan she wore in her final windswept photoshoot, and Ben Whishaw’s stripy woollen jumper, worn as brainiac Q in upcoming James Bond film Spectre. This is an easy one to recreate on the high street, particularly from October, when lovely knits take centre stage in the much-anticipated collaboration between former Hermès creative director Christophe Lemaire and Uniqlo.

6. School-bully hair

So-called “meh” hair has recently been huge in fashion. Figuratively, not literally – this kind of ’do is flat and messy; exactly the opposite of that big, bouncy, blow-dried, X Factor judge look. Trust Mrs Prada to be first to rebel, presenting models with severely scraped-back ponytails. We’re calling this school-bully hair, because we last saw it in the toilets at school, when we were being relieved of our lunch money. Try it if you dare: great for emphasising cheekbones, terrible for reviving bad memories and causing migraines.

7. Poking your collar over your jumper is a thing again
Pointy collars at Dior

Of all the allegations levelled at Rebekah Brooks, this may not be the one you remember, but in 2012 the fashion industry accused the former News of the World editor of killing off the Peter Pan collar. Finally, fashion has recovered enough to offer a similar look – pointed collars in interesting fabrics (chainlink metal, chartreuse silk and striped cotton at Prada, Dior and Miu Miu) layered over snakeskin pinafores or thin-knit jumpers, offering all the joys of a collar with none of the Leveson-inquiry associations.

8. What’s the coat of the season?

If Withnail checked into the Grand Budapest Hotel, this what he would wear: brown, oversized, a bit military, very Gucci. Zara has the perfect one, available at the end of September; there are similarly oversized maxi coats at M&S and & Other Stories.

9. Lambs

There has been much debate over whether 2015 is the Chinese year of the sheep, goat or ram, but in fashion there is no such ambiguity. Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen was photographed for the cover of the Wall Street Journal’s style magazine wearing a shaggy white coat and cradling an adorable lamb with sooty paws; turbo-vegetarian and anti-fur activist Stella McCartney put faux fur on her catwalk for the first time. Resistance to faux fur, and faux shearling, seems futile.

10. Is the polo neck still on-trend?

Polo necks have become so ubiquitous that at Emilia Wickstead’s last fashion week show, Charlotte Dellal, Yasmin and Amber Le Bon, Daisy Lowe and Alexa Chung found themselves in a five-person front-row polo-neck pile-up. But fashion still loves them: Loewe, Jonathan Saunders and Victoria Beckham are among the dozens of designers still producing them and, in November (UK release), Michael Fassbender will pull on a polo neck for the Steve Jobs biopic.

11. WTF is Dark Victoriana?

There has been a lot of talk about this trend in the style mags – think of Miss Havisham’s threads dyed black, all dark layers of lace and mesh – but it is probably best ignored until party season. This is evening gothic. FKA twigs did it brilliantly at the MTV Video Music awards on Sunday night; a less naked version would be just the thing the best-dressed person at the office party might wear this Christmas.

12. Timing is everything

While the glossy magazines are shouting about the new season now, there are still months before some of the best pieces hit the shops. Take Topshop’s resort collection, in store on 14 November, which is a riot of vaguely 70s unexpectedness: its pink crushed-velvet suit goes against traditional ideas of good taste and judgment and will be all the more loved by the fashion crowd for it.

13. Sheer black tights are back

British Vogue’s September issue decrees it so. Pair them with something tough and modern – such as ankle socks and Doc Martens – rather than anything too smart, or you may find the Melanie-Griffith-in-Working-Girl overtones overwhelming.

14. Balmain for H&M

Every season, one designer/high street collaboration causes panicked shoppers to elbow each other in the face, and this November it will be Balmain for H&M. The brand is all about expensive, body-hugging, high-octane glamour – its key proponents are Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner – so this is a rare chance for fans to own a piece of a collection that is usually several zeros out of their price range.

15. Loafers

Here is another trend spawned by Gucci, which did eccentric versions with comic tufts of fur spurting out of them. There are some brilliant examples on the high street, too, particularly at & Other Stories – fur-free but just as comfy and winningly nerdy.

16. Dressing for Instagram

The peacock has been an endangered species for a few seasons in fashion, with even the exhibitionists of London fashion week tending to be swathed in navy-blue cashmere. This season, though, maximalism has returned, with outre accessories, brash patterns, bold shapes, bright colours and a hodgepodge of 70s and 80s styles defining the season. Many place the blame at Instagram’s door, and some of the most eye-catching items seem to have been designed with “likes” in mind. Examples: Anya Hindmarch’s autumn/winter collection – all “Men at Work” and speed camera road signs, with the odd custard cream clutch – and Moschino’s emoticon-emblazoned backpacks, plus Topshop, Monki and New Look on the high street.

17. The boot debate

Fashion says this is the season of the over-the-knee or mid-calf boot but, in real life, something a bit easier to wear and more flattering is bound to take precedence. We’re betting on the classic patent Chelsea boot, which will protect you from puddles while offering a pared-down counterpoint to other sartorial experiments.

18. The Mansur Gavriel bucket bag

These cost £325, a lot less than most fashion “It” bags, but are the most talked-about totes of the moment. Last season they sold out and are still changing hands for more than £400 online; the next drop comes to Matchesfashion.com at the end of September.

Former Marc by Marc Jacobs duo Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley are launching their own label this season, and the styling represents the louche, eclectic flavour fashion is desperate to achieve now: silky blouses tucked into trousers; three inches of white socks above black loafers; majorette fringing on bags and coats; maxi coats tied with what look like curtain ropes.

Nottingham fashion brand adds extreme edge to casual wear



Casual wear is getting a skiing and skating makeover thanks to new Nottingham fashion brand – Ullr & Skade. Lucy Budge speaks to the designer behind the tees

Head to the glorious ski slopes of either France or Italy and you'll see stylish sportswear at its best.

But now you no longer need a jet-setting excuse to wear fashionable piste clothing – an up and coming Nottingham brand is giving it a casual and urban edge.

Designed by two local friends, Ullr & Skade provides a range of printed tees, sweaters, beanie hats and jewellery for both men and women.



Co-owned by Nick Radjabi and Ashley Davidson, the brand is currently available

online but the pair hope to soon stock it in independent boutiques across the city.

Nick, who heads up the designing side of the business, says: "The brand was launched two years ago. Me and Ashley went to Trent College together when we were younger. I then went to study music technology at university in Leeds and he went to Reading.

"We then both moved back to Nottingham and he did a ski season in France. He saw the skiers wearing these big stylish T-shirts and sweaters and it inspired him.

"We thought we would take it away from the extreme sports side of things and make it more casual."

After completing university, Nick, 24, of West Bridgford, took up a job at House of Fraser, in the Victoria Centre, and says his experience in retail gave him the kick that was needed to launch his own label.



"I was uninspired by the brands I was working with. I wanted to inject my personal style into the clothes and I've always been interested in men's fashion. It started off as a side project and then it grew," says Nick, who now works at Boots opticians, in Castle Boulevard.

"Ashley, of Keyworth, is very good at the business side of things. He's good at talking to people and negotiating. I'm more creative and I like to do the designing and imagery."

As modelled in the pictures by friend Matt Turnbull, Nick has designed a range of

T-shirts and sweaters in grey, black, blue and white as well as unisex silver jewellery.

Prices range from £30 for a logo T-shirt, £40 for a printed sweater and £45 for the long silver arrow necklace.

"We started off just doing the basics but I'd like to do a proper collection for next summer. I want it to be Los Angeles themed, so think pinks and yellows with palm tree prints.

"The idea from the start was skiing and skating stuff but now I want to see it as more casual wear rather than sport.

"The clothes could appeal to anyone but it's mostly teenagers to young adults."

The products are currently printed by October Textiles, in Canal Street, with the jewellery also hand-carved and moulded in the city.

Giving a helping hand with the brand is former Nottingham Trent University fashion design student Joanna Griggs, who aids Nick in the use of design programmes and transferring his ideas into reality.

"We would like to keep the heritage of the brand local but it can get quite expensive. We might look into going abroad to keep the costs down, but for now I'm enjoying doing it locally.

"The jewellery is quite new to the company with rings, necklaces and accessories. We've got hopes to expand it."

And the name? "It's a Scandinavian name. Ullr is the name of a Norse god meaning God of Winter Games. I wanted to have that as part of the branding because it's all about the outdoors and confidence.

He adds: "The logo is an arrow to not only represent the mountains of Scandinavia and that way of life, but also link to Nottingham's heritage with Robin Hood."

For more information about Ullr & Skade and to view the products, go to ullrskade.com.

The brand will be holding a launch event on Saturday, 12 September, at the Pitcher & Piano, in High Pavement, from 9pm onwards. Free to attend.

Brisbane Fashion Fesitval: Five things we learned at MBFF

The Bachelor contestants backstage at Brisbane Fashion Festival.

If the Australian fashion landscape was a TV, Brisbane would be the best high-definition model. Everything is louder, bigger and more glitzy in the pineapple capital as witnessed on (and off) the catwalk at this year's Brisbane Fashion Festival.
Wedding gowns that transform into sequin rompers, gold bikinis and at least four eliminated The Bachelor contestants were the highlights of the festival's 10th anniversary celebration, which counts Mercedes-Benz and property developers Lendlease as sponsors.
The guest list was a refreshing mix of fashion folk and everyday inspirations, Jennifer Hawkins, Alex Perry, child safety advocate Denise Morcombe, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and The Honourable Dame Quentin Bryce all made cameos.
Here's five things we learned from Brisbane Fashion Festival:

Detachable wedding dresses are a smart investment
Elizabeth De Varga​ stole the show at the bridal showcase with her creations that were, at the pull of a press stud, transformed into princess-style wedding gowns to white sequinned jumpsuit, the perfect look for the Noosa bride. Darb Bridal Couture and Megan Cannings' statement looks proved that brides and tulle go together like Wally Lewis and rugby league.
Eyebrow queen Cara Delevingne​ wouldn't be welcome in Queensland
The word from the make-up chairs backstage is that thick, full brows are not as popular as they are south of the border. Napoleon Perdis' make-up directors said sculptural with the higher arch is the preferred look. Humidity is a curse even for facial hair, I guess.
Sequin swimwear is no long a meter maid's uniform
Aqua Blu's gold shiny one-piece and bikini was a highlight, literally. Sequins on swimwear are not practical and a little meter maid-esque but with the right accessories and footwear these gems could be Queensland's best export since Johnathan Thurston.
Cargo shorts and bright bold shoes are acceptable for men
White cargo shorts are usually considered the Dad Jean of the short world, however Uberman worked them with boat shoes and a button-up shirt, which for the tropical months ahead, will be bang on for smart casual outings. However do not, under any circumstances team said shorts with Urbbana's red and white speckled brogues – save them for night-time or the disco.
Risky Business is still a strong style influence
Paul Hunt has really hit his stride. The bridal and couture designer is evolving into quite the ready-to-wear maestro thanks to his combination of bright and bold Queensland colours and textures with simple, staple pieces such as the white collared shirt. His textured swing coat and sheer maxi shirt with a crisp cotton number made the hero pieces sing better than Bernard Fanning.

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week kicks off with Victoriana: Pleasure Garden

"Victoriana. Pleasure Garden" was created over a year by Melbourne fashion photographer Gerard O'Connor and stylist Marc Wasiak✓​.

Willowy girls and muscular boys aren't the only beauties booked to model at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, the annual frockfest which kicked off on Friday with Vogue's Fashion Night Out shopping spree.
On Saturday night, at the city's lush fringe among the dusk-lit trees of Fitzroy Gardens, tight-laced maidens will model ensembles suited to a spot of gentle archery, nymphs and faeries will flit about in diaphanous frocks fashioned especially for flitting, and an elegant "fox" will demonstrate the ideal tailored ensemble for the modern Victorian gentleman. That's Victorian; the era, not Victoria, the state.

Hundreds of Melburnians who fancy a bit of history with their fashion will also fill the Fitzroy gardens' exotic Conservatory and surrounds for the culmination of "Victoriana. Pleasure Garden", a year-long project by Melbourne fashion photographer Gerard O'Connor and stylist Marc Wasiak​.
The opening of an exhibition of large format photographs (some two metres high), is part of MSFW's curated programme of art and cultural events running parallel to its catwalk show schedule in the town hall and city square.

"Victoriana was a love project," says O'Connor. "It involved a lot of passionate people making an idea come to life."
About 100 people, in fact, including wardrobe assistants, prop and set builders, hair and make-up artists, special effects artists, film crew, dressers and general gofers, volunteered to create or play characters in the pair's fantastic vision of a grand Victorian spectacle, shot over three days at the National Trust's Ripponlea Mansion.
"We've always gravitated to the Victorian era and its crazy extremes," says Wasiak. "It was a tight-laced, conservative time, but it had a real undercurrent of perversity. Science and spirituality co-existed: people believed in the occult and seances and nymphs and fairies, yet someone was also discovering that we all have different blood types."
 Late last year, Wasiak and O'Connor began conjuring characters and vignette storylines to slot into their imaginary garden party.  "There's a lot going on when you get a group of people together," Wasiak says. "A lot the viewer might not usually see; a couple might be breaking up, or someone could be going through someone else's handbag …"
The potential for intrigue was limitless and the pair let their imaginations rip. In the Victoriana Pleasure Garden tableau, a butler balks as a dowager and faun doze in the sun, foxes and peacocks strut about, evil creatures with slit eyes and snouts slither through the undergrowth, a giant tortoise shuffles around an opulent buffet.
After a three day shoot at the height of last summer, followed by months of post-production wizardry, the result, finished this week, is a hyper-real snapshot of life on a lovely spring day, 150 years ago.
O'Connor says the link between Victoriana and MSFW is whimsically obvious.
"For one thing, people are still as bawdy, silly, sexy, naughty, whatever, as they ever were, and spring's still the biggest season in fashion," he says. "The garden party was where people showed off their new clothes."
O'Connor and Wasiak are renowned for their extravagant photographic tableaux. They take time out from their commercial work to collaborate on spectacular scenes of battle, bordellos, a 1950s beach and recently, a Victorian funeral made all the more dramatic when they blasted the cast of widows and mourners with water from a fake rain machine.
