Free Jet Blue Tickets - US ‘Project Runway’ Season 8, Episode 4 TV Recap

When we last left “Project Runway,” Ivy fainted, Andy won with his ribbon weaving dress and Gretchen thought she was the bestest evah.

Ivy is fine. Once again, NYFD hotties come to the rescue. Wouldn’t that be the best reality show — hot men cooking and racing to the rescue?

But we digress. This week: “hat” designer Philip Treacy brings his incarnations to the runway.They aren’t even hats. It’s like head sculpture. The designers have to create a look inspired by one of the hats. He tells them to think about proportion and volume and that matching is so “old hat.” Oh Philip! You told a little hat joke!

Ivy is inspired by the curtains in her hospital room. Mondo thinks the materials have voices. I have no idea what’s going on with the peacock feathers. Casanova is wearing what appears to be a boy scout uniform. Everyone is having some sort of confidence crisis.

People need to stop saying things are a hot mess. That was at least four seasons ago.

Tim visits. Valerie is mixing the soft fabric with the hardware materials to go with her black mask. Tim thinks it’s too much. April’s quilted booty shorts (allegedly going with a pink and white striped design) say “diaper” to Tim. Kristin’s “orchid” hat isn’t working for her and her dress is fussy. Although no one asks for her opinion, Gretchen thinks it’s sloppy.
