Project Runway Inaugural Ball Gown Challenge

Well folks, the votes are in and Barack Obama is our new President Elect. Haley Eber of the Daily Beast couldn’t help but ask Project Runway alums, including  Season 5 winner Leanne , to weigh in on what they would design for the Inaugural gown if only given recycled and low cost materials. These materials include  Laura Bush’s 2005 Inaugural Ball dress, an American flag, burlap sacks, and $10 worth of trims of their choosing.

The dresses were created before the election so the designs were made for both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama in mind. Read the article - and see the pictures here.
