Project Runway, Re-Vamped!

All us fashionistas can agree on one thing, we know Project Runway! Fan or not, this hit TV show has given us fashion reality TV like no other show! The opportunities for new emerging fashion designers to really show what they got on the TV show runway every week for many seasons has become a real popular show for fashion lovers. We've only once seen these hundreds and hundreds of these garments on the runway once and forgot how many exquisite garments have been designed on this show. These designs need to come out of the dark and into new light, styled, shared with the fans and fashion lovers, all re-vamped! I've had the amazing opportunity to visit some of the Project Runway garments and pick some pieces out to style them and shoot them for a collaboration school project! For the featured  look on this post I chose a leather high-low leather skirt by designer Olivier Green from Project Runway Season 9, according to my research. I paired it with a sheer black top and a heavy beaded black shirt that I styled as a vest for this particular look. These are also Project Runway garments, however from extensive research the designers of the two pieces haven't been identified yet. So, Project Runway fanatics, help me out here and let's do some trivia and figure out the designers of these lovely pieces I've handpicked for this look. My inspiration came from glam-rock queens such as Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Joan Jett. Pairing leather with shiny beading and steel colored metals on the earrings and necklace helped achieve that glam-rock look I was going for. Oh, and how could I forget the gorgeous silver guitar! I loved having this opportunity to style a look from Project Runway archives and collaborate with a fellow Photography student with the idea of dramatic rim lighting to create a more intense and visually stunning result in re-vamping these pieces. Enjoy and stay tuned for another similar project! And for the Project Runway die-hard fans, for those whom can identify the designers of the two tops, I will shout you out and credit you on this post!
