Gorgeous or gag-worthy? A designer takes a cue from "Cousin It" for his runway fashions.
We've seen some kooky things on the fashion runways, but last night "Project Runway" outdid them all when one of its four competing finalists, costume designer CHRIS MARCH, trimmed his elegant jackets, and even fashioned a skirt, out of real human hair! Yes, that's actual hair peeking out from the sleeves of that elegant jacket and sweeping down from the willowy model's legs. Critic and Parsons New School for Design chair TIM GUNN said it best when he told Chris that his "gag reflex" was engaging, and suggested that perhaps Chris had been "living in the monkey house too long!"
Predictably, Chris was eliminated by judges MICHAEL KORS, NINA GARCIA and HEIDI KLUM. Next Wednesday, part two of the "Project Runway" finale airs at 10 p.m. on Bravo TV from New York's Fashion Week with special guest judge VICTORIA BECKHAM.
