Project Accessory The Run Down.

Oh, the challenges the contestants faced to make it to the final 3, there was the cat suit challenge, hand bag challenge, beach junk challenge, the Kenneth Cole challenge, and the Bug challenge. Some very successful outcomes, some not so much. As the count down to the end approached I began to narrow down my two favorite although I must admit it did change a few times. Ultimately my two favorites to win it all were Nina and Rich. In a somewhat surprising ending Brian took it all. Although Bryan is quite talented, he was often hit or miss with me and in the end I was just not in love with the final pieces he produced. I am eager to see what he puts out for the general public.

Here is a peek at the winning designs Brian produced: Brian

The show had some hits and misses and it definitely has some kinks to work out. I noticed on the PA blogs many people suggested the producers should not bring this show back. I actually disagree. I think Project Accessory has potential. It was the first crack at a show of this type and I think they should give it another try. If the producers take into account some of the suggestions of the viewers and lessons learned from watching the show unfold,  I think the show could work. It its a wonderful platform for little known accessories designers to get noticed. I'm willing to give it another chance, allow them to work out the kinks and see where this goes. No word on season 2 yet but I'm keeping my eyes and ears peeled. Congratulations to Brian on the win and to all the contestant for making the cut! I'm sure quite a few of the contestants will take that 15 minutes of fame and run with it! This type of exposure can lead to great opportunity and I am wishing all the contestants all the best in their careers.

Watch Episode 8 the Finale

Holy Shoe Challenge - Project Accessory Episode 2.

Holy shoe challenge Project Accessory!




Really, in the second episode you throw shoe making out there? That’s crazy; I would have died for sure! Considering a number of contestants never even made a shoe I was impressed with their ability to simply dig in and figure it all out. Way to go guys that is what it’s all about after all!

Don't even let me get started on the "magical" shopping trip! LOVE The SWAROVSKI CRYSTALLIZED™ Concept Store! Lawd if someone would let me loose in that store I would clean the entire place out! I really liked what Brian Burkhardt did, those shoes were freggin amazing.... hey Brian I wear a size 8! ;) And the Bag <3 yes please! And I was digging the "not so simple" single earring I'm not so sure what judge Ariel Foxman was talking about. Brian was my favorite this round for sure.

Good Karma is spilling all over James Sommerfeldt for being so willing to share his knowledge with his competitors! Way to go James and congratulations on the win.

I was all over this episode! I cannot wait for the next! If you missed Episode 2 check it out below!
