Project Runway, Episode 3, "Bright Lights, Big City"
Last night's episode of Project Runway showcased a wide and interesting array of creations from the budding designers.
Like season two, the contestants were asked to design an outfit for a night out on the town inspired by the (wet) cityscape of NYC. While a couple designs blew me away — namely Leanne's Doo.Ri-esque dress — I wasn't impressed with the overall amount of creativity.

Was It a Good Idea For the Models to Buy Fabrics on Behalf of the Designers?
For the first time in Project Runway history, the designers were not allowed to purchase their own fabrics. Gasp! Instead, the models they picked at the start of the episode did the shopping for them.
Welcome the Cast of Project Runway, Season 5
We're taught not to judge a book by its cover, but when you're an unknown fashion designer, all you have is your cover and a mini bio. As we prepare to welcome the new hopefuls of Project Runway into our homes this Wednesday, the three I'm drawn to right off the bat are Emily (left), who worked with Jeremy Scott; Wesley (center), the sharpest dresser from the guys; and Leanne (right), who graduated from FIDM in San Francisco.
If you wish, you can read more in depth about all the contestants.
