Joining judges Wholesale Bikini Michael Kors and Nina Garcia is "stylish actress, Kristen Bell." Kristen contributes frequently to the final judging of the contestants, making helpful comments about the designs like, "It doesn't have enough for me to want to love."
We kick off week seven lingerie china of Project Runway with Heidi telling the designers that they'll be having brunch on a boat with a special surprise guest. The surprise guest turns out to be the person who Project Runway's "surprise guests" almost always inevitably turn out to be, Michael Kors. Ho hum. Kors informs the designers that they are to create designs for a resort collection. Mondo panics, insisting that the closest he's been to a resort is when he wakes up late and wanders around his apartment in his underwear. But most of the other contestants are excited by the challenge. They get even more excited when they are given free Michael Kors sunglasses, in a bit of product placement which we hope was not the sole impetus for this challenge.
After a trip to Mood, Tim 
Wholesale Bikini drops another surprise on the designers. They are to be paired in teams of two—with each designer working as a seamstress, creating their partner's samples. None of the contestants are thrilled with this, but Ivy takes diva to a whole new level. Her demonization of her partner Michael D's sewing skills makes her previous rants against Michael C, seem loving by comparison. Meanwhile, Mondo is mortified to be paired with Michael C, and initially bitches repeatedly about what a terrible designer he is. Once Mondo actually starts working with Michael C, however, he realizes that his partner is a decent hardworking person and apologizes for the cruel comments. This move shows more maturity than anything we've seen this season, with the possible exception of some of Casanova's AARP-worthy designs.
Midway through the challenge, the designers get yet a third surprise, a critique by Michael Kors. They are much more excited about this than we are, and with good cause. Kors advice is actually extremely helpful, to the point where we wish he'd participate in this way more often. And if he does do this again, here's a note to all future contestants: If Michael says to make changes in your garment, do it, even if you don't agree. At worst it will keep you out of the bottom three and at best you will win. Not that we're saying Michael judges with a bias, but...
Our top three designs this week are Michael D's black linen dress, which almost causes its tailor Ivy to hyperventilate; Andy's stunning bathing suit and wrap ensemble; and April's black top with negligee-like sheer skirting over shorts. And our winner is...April! The designer is so stunned by her win that Heidi teases her for just standing there dumbfounded.
