So they had to use green (environmentally not color) fabric. and the big twist was that the model's had to shop for the fabric. eeek. those poor designers. it was a twist that's for sure, but i think the outfits and this episode really ended up lacking because of it. a lot of the people had the same fabric most notably the bronzey satin. i'm sad to see wesley go i really think he was gonna have some solid designs to show. but it's well known that satin is not nice to work with, you can't seam rip, you can't force the fabric, it will show every ooops and imperfection. every seam must be perfect, it won't give if it's fitted too tightly, and it doesn't drape well if it is too loose. the lines need to precise, smooth, and clean.
the models got more airtime which was nice, the last time they really got into showing the models was the first season, like when they had the bathing suit party, and that sketchy dude was hitting on Austin's model, he made a fool of himself until he found out on camera that she was only 15. i believe he said something classy around the lines of ...i should probably stop staring at her ass than. and let's not forget Morganza, hahah she went out drinking in her dress before they had to show it on the runway, the next morning she had demolished it. ooops.
when the models were shopping they weren't sure of what they were doing, no clue how much was needed, what colors worked, and what fabrics would even work for a cocktail dress. it was a mess.
Hey stella of course every episode won't revolve around leather. put on your big girl panties and deal with it. blayne making the leather jokes was funny. speaking of leather... blayne if you do not stop tanning your skin will turn into leather. and let's not forget he compared heidi to darth vader...what?!.
note to designers this has worried me and it's only the second episode. you are going to hurt a model. we had blayne sewing his model into his clothes, it's one think if your rushed and it is a side seam or something. but the man was sewing the crotch seam! not good. and tonight stella was steaming the dress when the model was in it. They are not dress forms guys, THEY WILL FEEL PAIN! i cringed when i saw the steamer thing.( anyone reading this from the shop in fredonia may recall the freak steamer explosion of 2003, needless to say we are a bit jumpy around those machines)
on the positive side. there have not been any designers who in the first few episodes say something like. i don't know what to do guys, i have never draped, or how do you thread this machine? it kills me. how did they get on the show if they don't know how to load an industrial sewing machine or serger! and the i don't know how to drape thing, how the heck did you plan on creating you patterns let alone any garments in such little time, you don't get to buy patterns here, you DESIGN your own. the poor people who auditioned and didn't make it and are watching some one being taught how to drape an outfit, or cautiously sewing a straight line on an industrial machine like they are 15 and driving dad's Ferrari 250 California Spyder for the first time, or spitting on fabric bc they don't use a fabric notcher. ( words can not explain my reaction when i saw that last season, i am still coping) and i am gonna stop that rant right now. ha. sorry
over all. design wise. meh. but Natalie Portman is the sweetest. more on the outfits later.
