In the 7th episode of Project Runway, the designers were challenged to construct garments from materials they found in a hardware store. Our favorite from this challenge was the design by Jay Nicholas. This edgy and modern design is constructed from trash bags and blue painters tape!

Episode 8 saw the designers attempting to incorporate the elements of nature: Earth, Air, Fire, or Water into their designs. Mila’s design calls to mind the minerals of the earth with all their varying texture. Her striking tone on tone vest is the essence of sophistication.

This pendant echos the cut-outs of the vest while adding a flair all it’s own. Nestled in the center of this this serenely balanced piece would be an obsidian cabochon. This volcanic glass has unexpected depth, beauty and richness of color while remaining true to the designer’s vision of earth in her fashion.
