Wait, WHAT?? Was my reaction to this week's challenge on Project Runway, a sentiment shared by the designers and viewers alike, I'm sure! Tim meets the group on the rooftop of a parking garage where they are presented with a lineup of five brand new Saturn Vue Hybrid vehicles. Chris Webb, lead color designer for Saturn, joins the group and explains that this particular model is 85% recyclable. No, they didn't have to break the cars apart (that's what I thought too at first!); rather, they were given a whopping four minutes to ravage through the contents of the cars which included: floor mats, seat covers, headlights, seatbelts, carburetors, air vents, and sun screens and so on, to use as raw materials. With the freedom to be as innovative and creative as they'd like and the limitation of using highly unconventional materials, the designers are off to work. Tensions ran high, last minute setbacks abounded, and the struggle to make it work reached new heights. However, they can't all be winners.
