Inspire Me Monday: Androgy-gorgeous!

I haven't watched Project Runway regularly for many years, but I tuned in this past week by chance and saw some very, very hot fashion. The challenge for the week was to make two androgynous looks for both a male and female model, and my favorite (and, spoiler alert, the winner) was Emilio Sosa's burgundy deliciousness.

Let's get personal for a moment. I love androgynous people. Like... I don't know how to describe it. They're hot. Not necessarily in a get-in-my-bed way, but I just have such an affinity for them. Emilio's models were h-o-t hot. So this is my little tribute to his designs and the fabulous models who wore them.

Come on now. That's some gorgeous.

I didn't have colors that matched exactly, so I had to improvise. The dark red is Sparitual I Feel The Earth Move, and the lighter red is Zoya Rekha layered over OPI Mrs. O'Leary's BBQ Sauce. The gold pinstripes are Essie Good as Gold. I mentioned before that the Essie chrome polishes are awesome for nail art, but it bears repeating. They're awesome for nail art!

This combination is also quite season appropriate! Burgundies and golds together are divine around this time of year.

  2. Amazing mani! Love the inspiration. I used to watch Project Runway all the time but, like you, haven't seriously followed it for a few years now. The androgyny challenge sounds like it was interest.

  3. I love those colours together! And I'm loving the designe!

    And you'll appreciate this. I went to a show once and I saw the MOST BEAUTIFUL person I had ever laid eyes on. I had no idea if it was a guy or a girl just by looking at them. I mean no matter what they would have still been the most gorgeous human ever! I did figure out later that it was a guy. I wanted to tell him he was stunning. I didn't.
