Project Runway Season, " Come as You are!"

The premiere show of Project Runway

Season 9 kicked off. The theme,.." Come as You are and Make it Work!"

Last night the judges had to decide which 16 designers would get a room and a spot on the show. The 16 were chosen from 20 finalist.

The first challenge was pretty impression.

The group was dragged out of bed by Mr. Tim Gunn at 5am. He walked them through the streets of New York City, heading straight to the design studio. They had to use the clothes on their backs from pjs to boxers and a sheet to make an outfit for the runway.

After some dye, added zippers and accessories, the fashion show was GREAT! Most of the creation were completely unrecognizable.

The bottom three:

Rafael who designed an interesting top with an ill fitted pair of sweat pant leggings.

Julie, she used her horrible pajama pants to ma

ke a horrible top pairing it

with a horrible pair of oversized pants.

Josh made three pieces and they did not compliment t

he model's figure. The tank had an odd square neckline the shorts were pulling along the crouch and then that odd sweatshirt hoodie/cape !

Rafael turned out to be the judges' biggest disaster. He was the first sent home.

I think the judges were a little off on this decision. Julie's lack of creativity should have sent her packing.

The winner was the oldest of the cast, 57 year old Bert. He made an adore dress. He used his gingham boxer shorts and sheets to make a simple, sweet but sexy dress.

My favorite of the evening was Anya. The former beauty queen from Trindad made a great pair of pants and used her kimono inspired pj top to make a very simple and chic top.

She's quite amazing because she's only been sewing for 4 months. She had some trouble during the challenge, but she pulled it off. One could call her a "genius" for making one of the best outfits with the lea

st amount of experience.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!!
