When presented with this challenge you knew immediately that you wanted the science fiction genre. You spun a fantastic tale involving an ice queen and you knew exactly how she would look and the kind of gossamer gown that she would wear. After Tim's critique, you understood that this was the time to show your skill with costume and drama and your styling and makeup further enhanced this evil beauty of your fantasies. The regal results did not leave the judges chilly; John Varvatos said the detail was spectacular and Zoe Glassner called it clever, bold and risky. Your frosty fashion was a tour de force in snowy sequins and alabaster-hued applique. Good show, Nicolas!

Monday evening I attended Gordana's Spring 2010 Collection fashion show. It was held at the Sam Brocato Salon in Soho. The event was catered with a lavish fruit and cheese table, sangria and a wine tasting. Guests mingled and indulged for about an hour before the show began. Several other Project Runway alumni as well as a few Season Six models were in attendance. 
Gordana's collection was very spring and was inspired by The Lady of the Lake and incorporated elements of that time period into modern design. Just about everything in the collection was made in white or pastel shades of green, blue, yellow and pink.

The unconventional challenges always test the ingenuity of the Project Runway designers. Looking at paper and creating a new fabric out of something so unforgivably fragile could be daunting but you embraced that you could scrunch the material, giving it more dimension and strength. Eva Longoria Parker announced that your coat blew her away while Zoe Glassner mentioned the clever use of the trompe l'oeil Sharpie stitches and how she loved the sleeves and the collar. Tommy Hilfiger said that it looked like "Coco Chanel meets Yves Saint Laurent meets Givenchy in the ’60's and ’70's" and, really how can you top that kind of praise?! It has to be extremely gratifying to triumph among so many other worthy candidates. Well done, Irina!
Well, The Runway Rattler pretty much says it all. Come on in, the gang is all here. You don't want to miss this one!
