Runway’s Tierney

‘Between Puck and Heidi Montag’
Another highlight from this season’s Project Runway is Colorado-based fashion designer Julie Tierney.
I love how Julie’s design inspiration comes from multiple, multiple sources – which she then takes to another place – familiar, dramatic and . . . layered.
Above, sketches.
Below, chronological images from her 2010 Nomad’s Land collection; starting with pages from her inspiration book thru to the runway.
A direct interpretation of Nomadic life would be a bit obvious – but this goes elsewhere. Julie doesn’t make obvious. Genghis Khan with tube socks and a snowboard. Then Julie.
Beautiful results.

No joke, when I saw the thumbnail of the color sketches my first thought was “Scarecrows?”
