Project Runway Challenge -- Week 5: The Lexus Challenge

For week five, the designers were divided into teams of three.  Almost instantly the eye-rolling and sighing began and we JUST KNEW which team was going to be at the bottom.

You can't create nice things when you're in a totally foul mood.

The designers were told to create a luxurious, high-end mini collection from unconventional materials.  The shops they could choose items from were an vintage wallpaper store, a food market, and a party supply/home goods store.

Spoiler alert!

The top looks were from team Jeremy, Karen, and Kate (Jeremy won):

The middle of the pack looks were team Alexander, Miranda, and Bradon:

Along with team Justin, Dom, and Helen:

And the losing team (which was like watching oil and water try to mix) was Ken, Alexandria, and Sue:

Sue was eliminated.

So use "Luxury and High-End" as the inspiration for your jewelry creation this week and/or select one of the runway outfits to inspire you.  You can also use Lexus as your inspiration.  And if you want to continue the challenge using unconventional materials like the PR contestants had to do, that's even more awesome.
