"Project Runway" 6.12 Recap: "The Art of Fashion"

The very best line of last night's Project Runway? Tim Gunn saying "I want Nina Garcia's stilettos to fly off her feet and shoot right across the runway!"

If they did it was between takes — and probably because Nina was aiming them at the designers' heads.

This final challenge before Bryant Park involved a field trip to the Getty Center where the designers (along with their models) poked around to find something inspiring. 

Gordana takes her inspiration from a well known Monet. She says the foggy pastel colors remind her of her homeland. Which doesn't exactly make you want to go visit Serbia and might explain why every dress she's done this season has been a dishwater gray.

Irina and her model fall in love with a painting of two Rubenesque women. The result: Irina produces a dress that actually makes her stick thin model look fat!

Carol Hannah likes 18th century European furniture — a fact which appears to have had absolutely no bearing on her eventual dress design.

Althea gets her dress concept from the Getty's geometric architecture. And Christopher takes his inspiration from ... pond scum. Seriously. He's enraptured by a rock fountain and some green algae growing in it. He tries to explain it to his model Katie, but she doesn't seem at all enthused.

They take a last shopping trip to Mood (and I bet the sales ladies there are sooo glad to say goodbye to this crew, what with the mad dash messes they always make.). Then it's back to the studios where, through interview cutaways we learn that, like the rest of America, the designers are all sick to death of one another.
