Project Runway Season 8 Episode 13 Live Recap - Marie Claire

This Ain't Your Grandma's Tote Bag diary of a fashionista blog home Would You Rock A Mini-Dress At Your Wedding? fans! The final four — the young Andy, the underdog Michael, the quirky Mondo, and the love-to-hate Gretchen — have been chosen, so now it's up to them to impress the judges with their collections to see who makes it to the Fashion Week finale! Who do you think will buckle under the pressure, and who will make it to the real-life runway? Find out right here as we live blog it all!

The gold gown Michael C. has designed looks like the dress of Roman goddess. It's more of a Halloween costume than fashion week material. Amazing pleating on one of Andy's pieces! His hard work is certainly paying off. Everyone is tearing up! It's down to the wire. All their emotions are pouring out. The headdresses on Andy's models are alien-like. They are distracting and detracting from his work. Accessories should accentuate, not drag down an ensemble. The stage is looking quite empty with just four designers left. While Mondo's pieces look really bold, Nina is worried that he might not be taken seriously at fashion week with a collection that could be seen as clownish....
