In todays episode of Muodin Huipulle (Project Runway Finland) the challenge was to create an outfit for "a woman that stands out from the crowd" by using a box of recycled sweaters. I´m telling you people, sweaters make exellent material for refashioning! Even the ugly ones. They don´t fray easily, but they can be unravelled if you want. Sewing can be done all with a sewing machine. Serging is not the only option. Here are my favorites from tonights show. I do apologise the poor quality of all the photos. You´d think these could have been photographed in a studio. If you want to see the looks on the runway, they look so much better there, you can find the Muodin Huipulle 22.10. episode here.
By Mert, the winner of this challenge. Loving the bolero top and zippers in the edges. The whole dress is destroyed by hand.
By Olga. Simple. Chic. Black. This could have also won.
By Mirkka. This is what recycled sweaters can look like when constructed straight on the dummy. Color harmony and basket weave pattern handpinned on the pieces. Unfinished bits look finished. The judges thought the hem needed a bit more thought as it looked a bit like a diaper..
By Jarno. Another dummy cosntructed look. This dress I´d love to wear!!
By Katri. Black & white works always. I love the way she used the black sweater as fringes. They move very pretty when walking. The bum-rose detail was a bit too much for some judges.
Detail from Mari's dress.
