Major Bite: Carmen from Project Runway Is Still Doin It.

IT AINT OVER, I SAID IT AIN'T OVER.
I've missed a few of episodes of Project Runway this season but I did catch up last night thanks to Bravo showing re-runs. Out of all the contestants that were kicked off, I must admit I was oh so sad to see Carmen go the most. I loved her. I was reading her bio and saw that she is definitely NO stranger to the fashion world. The most interesting fact that stood out to me was that she actually has a clothing line that she's been apart of for a few years called, Sistahs of Harlem. This chic line has been going strong since 2002. Sistahs of Harlem promises bring you nothing but "street couture" and that it does with a vengeance. I checked out the website and the line is nothing short of amazing! I'm especially in love with their latest Fall collection. The line is called, Powerful Women in Action. I'm in love. If you like what you see below, you'll have to make a trip to New York City, Houston or Tokyo get your shopping hands on an item from the collection. Those are currently the only locations that have the line available for retail purchase.

THE SCOOP: PROJECT RUNWAY SEASON 4 OPENER!

I AM A RUNWAY DIVA.

Okay, so I did miss the season opener of Project Runway Season 4 last night due to work but from what I've heard from fellow fashionistas who follow the show like true fanatics, I heard things were good but quite scattered. However, from what I've seen the designers produced some pretty good pieces for the first run, well most of them anyway. The 1st challenge this season was switched up as it normally consists of a "weird things" challenge. This time around each designers had to ransack three tents that were filled with more than $50,000 of fabric from MOOD. The challenge gave the designers the chance to present the judges with a garment that expressed who they are or their personal point of view. After viewing the pictures, I must say I'm pretty impressed. Competition is going to be fierce this season I can see that already. This season is also already buzzing to be the best one yet - as some of the biggest names in fashion, sports and design will guest star this season on “Runway.” Goody! And look at what the winner gets - can you say fab! An editorial feature on the winning designer will run in an issue of ELLE, the winner will walk away with a cash prize of $100,000 from TRESemmé professional hair care to start their own line, and will have the opportunity to sell a fashion line on Bluefly.com. Saturn will award the winner a 2008 Saturn Astra. Pure hauteness.
