I’m watching! So glad that guy who ignored Tim’s advice got aufed.
I am glad that Erin didn’t win. I appreciate their take on it being fashion, and maybe it could be revised to fit a “normal” woman, but it didn’t seem like it met the challenge. Laurence’s outfit isn’t something I’d wear but I felt many women would.
I actually thought Tasha’s was worse than Kimber’s and should have been in the bottom. I liked the woman who got aufed but the outfit she made was clearly representative of her taste since she herself was wearing a shaggy black sheer shirt with an oddly place piece where the peephole was on the dress.
Brik…the concept was fine, a tailored blazery thing with a kickier pant. But that pant fabric! That was his idea of a graphic print?
I wonder if they give them a map of Mood in advance? It’s an awfully big place to navigate in half an hour the first time through. Unfortunate that the bottom two homed in on the baggy knit section.
I HATED the jumpsuit that won. What could you put in pockets on the backs of your thighs? The dropped crotch made it look like an enormous onesie.
In other words, the judges are back on the crack.
I didn’t like the jump suit either, but I don’t like slumpy clothes.
For the most part, I’ve been pretty accurate at picking the “oh dear god what the ever loving hell is that?!” for the loser or at least the bottom three and “Yeesh! Nicely assembled but who in their right mind would wear that in public?” for the winner.
Urgh. I HATED that Erin thought anything made of neoprene could sell to the general public. No one wears that stuff daily because it’s unwearable! Heavy, sweaty, rubby, bunchy. Also glad to hear the judges acknowledge that crop tops (the darling of many a designer on PR) are a difficult sell to “ordinary women.”
I loved the editors showing Cornelius bitching the same bitch twice. (“No shade, but…”) I’m glad the others seemed to shut him down. If I were a contestant (unlikely!) I would be so reluctant to befriend, or even talk to, the other designers.
If you were wondering how the commercial version of the winner’s piece came out, here it is. They seem to have taken out the suede (which makes it washable, I suppose), removed the dangly little zipper-pull, and reduced the droppy-ness of the crotch. Eh.
Yes, that makes me happy too. I just don’t need the drama side of it, so much so that I don’t even like when they ask the talking heads to comment on another’s look. “Worry about your own look!” I find myself shouting in my head.
Yeah, crop tops need to join circle skirts on the not allowed list.
I notice that nowhere on that page can you find the name of the person who actually designed the outfit. So much for getting yourself recognized. Yes, i understand that anyone who seeks out this outfit might already watch Project Runway, and therefore will know who the designer was, but you’d think they could spare a few bytes of screen space to acknowledge the designer.
I thought Rik should’ve gone home instead of Kimber. I actually liked kimber’s dress.
Cornelius’s dress was the equivalent of the dye job dress in the water runway challenge. A boring dress that did something special only in the black light, and not something you’d actually wear. And neither were the other two. The clear hennaed coat was OK but what the heck was under it? They said it was great head to toe? Was it a romper or an ill-fitting bathing suit?
And Erin’s. I don’t get the love. The beige sheer fabric is for forming a base for a dress with open areas – wearing it as sleeves is silly.
My favorite was Roberi’s – wearable and a cool jellyfish effect under the light. But I assume it was not in the top because it’s too similar to his swirly unconventional look, and others they’ve seen before.
I agree with everything gigi said. Especially Roberi’s snub! That was GREAT!

I also thought Roberi was heads and shoulder above the rest! When they showed his in the black light it was stunning! But since they didn’t show that much of him in the workroom I knew he wouldn’t get the win.
You must be right, because Roberi’s was clearly the most attractive dress. My problem with Erin’s dress, though, wasn’t the sleeves, it was the bodice, which was unflattering and ill-fitting.
Seriously. We actually have someone at work with a similarly…distinctive laugh and you can hear it down the hall. In a meeting with her…yikes.
I’m comforting myself with the idea that Roberi is actually a front-runner and they’re weeding through others first.
I thought Mah Jing Wong would be the one leaving. Usually when they show a clip of someone on the phone crying because they miss the family, that means they’re gone. Plus his outfit was pretty bad.
The semen dress? Still, many times boring goes home over horrible.
What the hell is Heidi wearing?
Kermit stripper wear. Um, leather dress OR leather thigh-highs, not both!
First they liked the Erin pinafore dress last week and now the housedress this week? I don’t get it. Maybe a “retro” style would work with punched-up color, or something, but that cover-up was so blah. I was glad Rik redeemed himself. I also didn’t mind Brik’s look.
How has Tasha stayed in so long? Her stuff is questionable and sloppily made.
Those were some fugly bathing suits, with the exception of the one that won. That geometric print was fabulous.
BTW, did everyone get that they don’t do swimwear? They might have mentioned that one or twice.
