Was It a Good Idea For the Models to Buy Fabrics on Behalf of the Designers? For the first time in Project Runway history, the designers were not allowed to purchase their own fabrics. Gasp!

While some designers were impressed by their models' selections, others were stumped and unable to use most of what was in front of them.
