Top 9 Recap Project Runway 6 Episode 8

Divorced Women Wedding Dress Challenge & Oktoberfest Pirate S06E08

Oct 9, 2009

This week's Project Runway wedding dress challenge featuring divorcees looking to start new lives. Who was kicked off? Who was eliminated?

Last week's Macy's sky is the limit "blue" challenge tested how well the designers could create a modern look inspired by a single color. The challenge paired the designers and Irina skillfully won. Louise and Christopher found themselves in the bottom and Louise was eliminated.

Down to four men and five women, the designers contemplated how close they were to the final. Irina felt the other designers were annoyed by her since she won the last two challenges back to back. Logan thought Irina displayed some attitude since she won the past two weeks.

Heidi met the designers at the runway and told them there would be new models this week. Onto the runway walked a line of women (non-models) dressed in wedding dresses.

Heidi informed the designers that the women were all divorced and looking to have their wedding dresses refashioned into something new. Each of the designers selected a model.

The following Project Runway recap contains spoilers and will note the winner, as well as who was eliminated in this episode.

The designers went off to the work room to assess the dresses and sketch designs. The divorcees met their designers to review the design ideas. Some of the women asked for a wide range of dresses, with one wanting a Cher-inspired headdress with feathers.

At Mood, the designers could buy up to two yards of fabric. Shirin complained since the wedding dress had little fabric and her divorcee was the one wanting a Cher costume. Nicolas was limited in what he could buy since his model insisted he only use cruelty-free fabrics, so no leather, wool, or silk.

Epperson decided to use the least amount of his bride's dress and Shirin constantly fretted over not having enough fabric. Tim came to the work room to give feedback. He loved the color of Irina's dyed fabric and found her kimono-inspired look exciting.

Tim warned Epperson that the challenge was to really use the wedding dress. Shirin broke down crying as she described her concerns and issues. In the final hours, Shirin took a new direction with her design.

Heidi Klum and Michael Kors were joined on the judging panel by Zanna Roberts of Marie Claire and Tamara Mellon of Jimmy Choo.

Heidi called forward Carol-Hannah, Nicolas, Althea and informed them they would move on in the competition. She brought out the models for the judges to review.

Gordana explained how she used the wedding dress lining and Michael Kors thought it looked wonderful. Heidi thought it was very good. Christopher discussed how he dyed the organza, however Tamara thought it had too much volume. Michael Kors thought it looked like a garbage bad.

Epperson explained his misunderstanding with the challenge and Heidi thought his design looked like a German Oktoberfest costume. Tamara thought it looked like a pirate's wench.

Tamara loved the design of Shirin's dress. Michael Kors appreciated that Shirin played it safe and didn't listen to her model. Heidi felt Logan's look also had a German look and Zanna found it amateur in construction. Zanna found Irina's dress wonderful while Tamara thought it looked expensive.

Project Runway Winner Announced & One Designer Eliminated: Auf Wiedersehen

The six remaining designers returned to the stage for the judgment. Heidi informed Shirin that she was in and could leave the runway. Gordana was announced the winner of the challenge with her chic and edgy look.

Heidi also told Irina and Christopher they were safe, while Logan and Epperson remained in the bottom two. She thought both designs were Oktoberfest designs and lost their point of view in the challenge. Heidi told Logan he was in and informed Epperson he was eliminated.
