Nina Garcia is proving to be quite the authority on penning style. The Elle fashion director turned Marie Claire fashion director and
Project Runway judge is also a Fab favorite — remember she answered
all your burning fashion questions a while back. With her surely busy schedule, and following
her first book, Nina has released
The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own ($15), available for preorder.
Last night's episode of
Project Runway showcased a wide and interesting array of creations from the budding designers.
Like season two, the contestants were asked to design an outfit for a night out on the town inspired by the (wet) cityscape of NYC. While a couple designs blew me away — namely
Leanne's Doo.Ri-esque dress — I wasn't impressed with the overall amount of creativity.
Project Runway fanatics know that last night's challenge — creating clothes out of items from Gristedes Supermarket — was nothing new. Hence the title of the episode, "Let's Start From the Beginning." And start from the beginning they did because they brought on Season 1 contestant, and winner of the original Gristedes challenge, Austin Scarlett, as a guest judge. Not surprisingly, the 16 designers freaked out upon hearing their challenge.
