Thanks to streaming and Apple TV, I am no longer terribly behind the times Project Runway-wise. Holy amazing episode from last night, hard and soft with unconventional materials from a florist and a hardware store. Every piece was pretty cool. And guest judges were Bette Midler and Leandra Medine (!!!!!) a.k.a. The Man Repeller. I have been really inspired by her, she has really done amazingly well for herself, and she has become a stylist and semi-celebrity through her honest, funny, creative and personal fashion blog, probably my favourite out there.

I also browsed through the Marc Jacobs RTW Fall 2013 and am kind of unimpressed. 3/4 length jackets and boring pencil skirts made of green fur... What woman wants to look like a big front lawn? And he has a real aversion to pants or women covering their legs apparently, and in one awesome look, put his model in nothing but hot pants. I honestly think some of these designers really take their fame and prestige for granted....

By contrast... McQ Alexander McQueen RTW Fall 2013. Yum.
