What's up with that? Twice in one season, the model just doesn't show up. For all the on-camera drama, was Jay really in any danger of being auf'd because his model didn't show up? How is that fair?
All joking aside, this was another gorgeous outfit that probably suffered from being a little too close to Kara Saun's concept. And as great a job as Jay did here, Kara Saun's was just better.
Love the giant sports logo-esque version of the USPS logo. Hate the stormtrooper boots.
No doubt, it's a great-looking outfit and aside from the shitkicker boots, we're not sure what the Duchess saw that was "butch" about it (then again, consider the source - not exactly an expert on "butch"). Somehow, it had less of a uniform vibe than Kara Saun's and looked more like an outfit someone put together for a day out.
These are all minor quibbles, though. In any other circumstances, this would be a clear winner. It just so happened that Kara Saun came up with roughly the same design and managed to hit one out of the park.

"Love the giant sports logo-esque version of the USPS logo."
Me too. That looked awesome! Austin is so funny, and the girl can walk!
Happy New Year, kittens!
Did anyone else find it strange that this episode featured Rob's naked ass AND close-ups of Austin package?
I am 150% convinced that the whole model not showing up thing was a set up for more drama.
Did you see the post office lady's face when she asked "are those pants waterproof"? and he said..."no, they;re just glitter fabric..." or soemthing to that effect.
She looked like "yeah right- you go deliver mail in Bed-Stye wearing glitter pants, you idiot".
Was there ever in the history of fashion anyone as willowy and glam as Audrey Hepburn?
Well, we now have a rival in Austin. You go girl!
The giant logo absolutely sold the look for me. One of those brilliant Jay touches.
Loved the logo, actually liked the boots (made it more punk), ADORED Austin -he is prettier than ANY of the models!
Loved the logo- I think this was the episode that cemented the Jay-Austin friendship.
"Ya got to have Friends.." (thanks, Bette)
profp
I agree, the logo was such a nice touch. I loved the outfit, but I don't think it would work as an uniform.
This episode was one of the best in PR History!! Very funny. Austin walking the runway? Priceless!
I love Jay's designs. They might not be the best (for the challenge presented), but they certainly have a unique quality to it that clearly indicates Jay's talent and vision.
This episode had so many wonderful moments--the perfect reality tv. Austin becoming the model, and doing it so fabulously, tops anything they've done since. I agree that Kara Saun's uniform was better, but Jay should have gotten some bonus points for using Austin as a model. Maybe when he was asked if the pants were waterproof, he should have lied and said "Of course they are!"
Happy New Year all!
Austin has the most gorgeous complexion, and knows how to put on his makeup. Wendy should watch him and take lessons! He was a great sport, as was Jay. Jay and Kara were so far above Rob and Wendy that it was amazing. Austin's cape was somewhere in the middle. This was about the point in the season when I was SURE I knew how everything would come out - FOOLED ME!!
I thought the tailoring of the pants was exquisite. I also want Austin to come on over and give me some makeup and skin care lessons.
Austin looked like he was living a lifelong dream. What a woman!
And Jay, I love him more every week. That cockroach comment killed me. What a man!
I liked this outfit a lot and you are correct, Duchess Kors designating anything as butch? Craaaaazy. Like she would know butch if it knocked her on her ass.
But the cockroach thing. Oh. My. God. It was divine. Jay, if you're anywhere reading this or if anyone's talking to Jay, a woman in Tulsa thinks you're beyond fabulous.
Speaking of Austin, is that his real name? or did he just make that over as he did himself. It's just a little too perfect, too dramatic, too Austin. Austin Scarlett ~ sounds like the heroine of a romance novel, only reversed.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR PROJECT RUNGAY GAYS & FANS!!!! off to celebrate. smooches to all . . .
Austin was hilarious and actually very good as a model. Kudos to him for standing in and keeping a fellow contestant from being canned for a reason unrelated to his skill. Hell of a thing to do.
im jealous of austin's bone structure
I liked the outfit a lot, definitely second best. Austin is not from this planet (and I mean that as a compliment)!
The best line of the show
Austin (in regards to modeling for ausitn): "I'm sure he'd do the same for me."
That always just tickled me.
Austin is stunning! I'd hit it. But Jaybird? Um, not so much. It's a good thing he has his talent to fall back on.
I can't believe Austin is a perfect size 2. He's such a gorgeous exquisite creature.
Love Austin as a model. That scene was one of the top classics from all 3 seasons.
But about what he was wearing...that shirt: The logo on the back was a nice touch, but if you had put that shirt on Rob's model, the complaints would have been the same. It was only Austin's lack of boobage, that saved Jay in the regard. Though Jay also had the great jacket, and that continues on the theme...whenever he gets back to his quilting roots, he excels. I think all of his best work involves quilting techniques. He should stick to that.
BTW, of anyone on all 3 seasons, Austin is the one who should have his own reality show. And now that he is doing wedding gowns, they could combine Austin with a revolving line of bridezillas (even though I detest those idiot heifers). OK, so maybe that's not the best idea--but Austin with his own show: THAT IS!

"Then again, look at the exotic creature he managed to find. Ladies and Gentlemen, the new face of Lancôme."
LOL. Isn't he fabulous? And jay's outfit was gorgeous. I love the boots, the hat and the gigantic logo.
Together these two really are "fashion bitches."
Happy New Year, kittens!
The whole "Jay has no model" problem in this episode seemed the most contrived drama of any season. Why was Jay stuck on the phone trying to find a model? Shouldn't that have been some producer's job? What if there hadn't been a designer with the right body type to step in?
On the other hand, if there is one iota of truth in it, then what Austin did here was the most selfless thing ever done on the show. At this point there are five left. Everyone on the show must have known by this time Robbio wasn't going to go the distance. By standing aside, and letting Jay be eliminated, Austin could have virtually assured himself a trip to Bryant Park one week before the final decision.
Of course, at the time this was being filmed, none of the participants knew if anyone would even watch the show. Now that the stakes are so much higher, it seems doubtful we'll ever see this level of support for a fellow designer again. Of course, its also unlikely a model in the final 5 would double book, knowing the level of exposure that is available.
Jay said that he was happy just to see that Austin didn't "look like a drag queen." LOL. It was very nice of Austin to help Jay out.
I liked Jay's outfit, but I agree that Kara's was clearly better, although Jay *did* have the best model, no doubt about that. That was the best solution to a model dilemma EVER. Austin looked like he was born to work that runway.
I could totally wear this outfit around town running errands. I LOVE the pants! Jay did a great job, as usual.
I know it wasn't planned but the turtleneck sweater color could not have been a better color for Austin's eyes. Girl is fierce. Work it!

That's his real name, believe or not.
I love Austin. Vive la diference!
well that's the best evidence i've ever seen of a name determining an outcome. little Austin grew into the glamorous boy he is, but he had much to aspire to in Austin Scarlett.
anonymous 1:36 said: "Austin is stunning! I'd hit it." Hit it? Hit it? Darling, Austin is too divine to fuck and if he did, he'd never settle for that.
I suspect this ethereal creature must be seduced. Maybe not, maybe he's actually a hound, but i think your best chance of hittin it would be to treat him like the lady he is.
