Tims Take

Welcome To The Jungle

The best collaboration starts with listening!

August 13, 2008

Heidi announces that for this challenge the twelve remaining designers will be designing for a high powered and glamorous professional woman. She tells them to meet me in the workroom where I will introduce them to their new client. The designers are wild with surprise and enthusiasm when Brooke Shields enters! She explains that they will be creating a day-to-evening outfit for her character on Lipstick Jungle, Wendy Healy. Wendy is an executive, a mother or two, and she's married to a musician. So, how does her wardrobe transition from the board room to a jazz club?

The designers have 30 minutes to sketch. Then, they will each pitch their concepts to Brooke who will choose six designers to serve as team leaders. The team leaders will select from the remaining six designers to form teams of two.

Each team has a budget of $150 and one day to complete the challenge. And each team must determine which team member's model will be used on the runway. Finally, Brooke will wear the winning look on this second season of Lipstick Jungle, and she will be our guest judge, of course!

Regarding the collaborative and synergistic dimensions within each team, there was rampant strife, consternation, and conflict. Designers, why is it so difficult to listen to each other, absorb content and meaning, and ... behave??

I was very upset in the finale Emilo was clearly the winner Seth was rocking that same old dull stuff he was putting together in competition. I am so upset with project runwat seems as though a black designer never wins and yet they come so close what is up with that Heidi and Michael was the same thing last year. Would like to see that happen. Emilio won so many runway shows all season I guess aways the bridesmaid never the bride.
