Project Runway - Olympic Fever

The designers get a field trip to New York's track & field arena where they meet cutie pie speed skater Apolo Ohno who gives them their challenge, design an outfit for the Americans to wear during the opening ceremonies. They just get to design something but it won't be for actual wear in the Bejing Olympics. Too bad, that would have been quite the prize for the winner.
Stella immediately says she wants to do something with leather and fur. Are we really surprised at this point? I guess adding the fur will mix it up a little. Blayne is busy having tanning withdrawls and Daniel decides to make a cocktail dress. A cocktail dress for the Olympics? If happy hour becomes a sport then we can talk cocktail dresses.
In the work room, Kenley & Daniel's laughing is getting on everyones nerves. Come on people, what's wrong with laughter? It makes the world a better place! Joe's skort came out really cute despite that word. Tim tells Blayne that his outfit is looking too Sargent Pepper and Blayne asks what's that? OMG! I never thought there would be people who wouldn't know the Beatles! And what was Jarell thinking using horizontal stripes? It might work in your world honey but I don't know any female in her right mind that would wear horizontal stripes, especially on her lower half. Anyway, it turned into something that Little Bo Peep would wear. Suede made a cheerleader skirt. He doesn't think it's a cheerleader skirt but look at anyones high school yearbook and you'll see it. Jennifer made another frumpy outfit complete with cardigan sweater. Where is the red, white and blue? Do these people not get the Olympics? Terri's pant suit with the blazer and red, white & blue top, except for the ruffle would have fit right in with the parade of nations.
Michael Kor's tells Daniel if drinking is your sport his dress is great (what did I tell you?). Korto wins with a very chic and simple pant suit combining a light weight leather (take note Stella) with linen. Jennifer and her frumpy skirt that we may see for sale at the Goodwill get aufed.
