Project Catwalk: Designers Hit The London Eye
With just seven designers left the heat is really on and this week it’s all about inspiration with a vicious twist.
Ben De Lisi takes the designers out on an inspirational trip in London to reveal their next challenge as they take in the breath taking cityscape views from the London Eye. Their challenge – to create a dress using the inspiration of images they find around them in the city. The designers have just one hour to photograph images that will inspire them and are then told to delete all but one image to work from.
Happy with their final images, the designer busy themselves in finding the right fabrics to complete their designs, but as ever there’s a twist.
The designers return to the studio and find to their delight their images blown up in colour…but their shock and horror, they also find that their images and fabrics have been swapped between them, so they now must work from another designers inspirational image and fabric collection – to which Shawla throws a classic strop and Giles revels in her anguish!
But as if that wasn’t enough, Kelly reveals yet another twist, as she announces that one of the designers is going to be chosen as the guest judge and help seal the fate of the next fashion victim.
With a cat amongst the pigeons, the designer’s relationships are stripped bare to the bone as they fight for their survival on the catwalk with some surprising fiction between Fatz & Luisa.
Judging the designers new looks are top designer Julien MacDonald, style director of Grazia magazine Paula Reed, one lucky designer and the lovely Kelly Osbourne.
Each week the budding designers face elimination based on how they meet the challenges set for them by the panel until only three remain. The three finalists will each showcase full lines on the catwalk and the winning designer’s garments will be photographed for top women’s magazine Grazia and will also receive the seed money to help them launch their own line.
