The question in the thread for the just-finished season of PR was “new thread or not” – I vote yes, so here it is.
Man, Seth Aaron looks like hell. Has he just gained weight, or is there something wrong with him?
I did a binge watch of every single episode of every single season this past summer, so I remember most, but not all, of the contestants. The black woman – drawing a total blank. Guess they just needed a black woman.
The nice thing about All-Stars is that there are no bad designers competing, at least this all-star season (Peach and the woman who spits both were there to fill out numbers in previous seasons).
Whaddya think? Too soon to start picking favorites?
The black woman is Korto Momolu. She came in second to Leann Marshall in season 5, so I don’t think shes’s an affirmative action pick. She’s an excellent designer.
Seth Aaron does indeed look like hell.
My money is on Korto, Melissa, or Seth (even though I don’t like him).
And Jeffrey Siebella was on the first All Stars (the 2 hour special which was designed to reward Daniel V. who choked on his final collection). So Jeffrey is a double All Star! j/k
I’m boycotting this along with TLo so I must rely on this thread and TWoP to keep me abreast. I might turn on the finale though. There should be some good designs.
I loved Seth Aaron during his original season, but I honestly yelled at my television when his outfit was revealed. It looked practically identical to a ton of things we’ve seem from him, with no visible growth or change.
I suppose it’s possible that a lot of the designers fell back on things they’ve done before, and I just didn’t notice, but with Seth Aaron it was so obvious.
I went back and rewatched the S5 finale tonight – yes, of course, I remember her now. Freaking Kenley was the third person to make it to Fashion Week that season, which is why I’d managed to block out the whole thing.
“Making it look as if it was put on backwards – how creative!” Um, no, it was just put on backwards. it was OK but too 80s and not punk enough for me (a child of the 80s!).
It took me a minute to recognize Neck Tattoo with the new facial hair, but it reminded me how shortchanged his other children will be. He gave up the whole front of his neck to “Harrison”.
I don’t know. Jefferey’s was ugly but it seemed the most “avant garde” to me. Googling avant garde fashion brings up a lot of images of bizarre pieces no one would actually wear off the runway, (Including many with their face covered!) so Michael Kors’ complaint that he couldn’t see a woman wearing it at a cocktail party was a bit odd. It’s not *supposed *to be something that would be worn elsewhere. I’m sure this one is worn to parties *all *the time.
OK, now this is weird. In that image search I found this outfit from an article published in 2010. That is *exactly *Jefferey’s outfit, in a different print! It was originally from Paris Fashion Week in February 2008 created by Martin Margiela.
So WTF? Did Jefferey just rip off that entire design?
Maybe that will be Jeffrey’s schtick this season. The first time he was angry little peanut. This time he’ll gleefully plagiarize other designers knowing that the judges are not well-versed in fashion history–and the guest judges are downright ignorant. You can bet that Kors would’ve ripped him a new one.
