Umbrella Chic Canadian Style

Project Runway Canada aired their second episode last night on Slice. I must say, I’ve been very impressed so far. Iman is a fantastic host (she’s bitchy in a way that Heidi never is), the production value is very high for original Canadian Cable programming, Brian Bailey is hands-on in a way that Tim Gunn never seems to be (but this could be due to editing more than anything) and the talent abounds.
Last night was the obligatory “green” episode. The designers had to make a cocktail dress out of discarded umbrellas. I thought it was an interesting take on the recycling theme.
Overall, it was really well done. While the judges focused mostly on the poorly done dresses (and I’m still reeling about Lincoln’s departure), check out these beauties below:

I designed a dress from Kit Kat Senses wrappers, I thought you might be interested in taking a look.
