finally a wow or two



Casey- Leanne. this was the winning outfit. AND IT IS GORGEOUS. finally!!! it's beautiful, well made, great color, great contrast between pieces and fabrics, and still they work together. I love love love the color. The look is exactly what DVF (diane von furstenberg that's too much name to keep typing out) had asked for, vintage looking, layered, perfectly fits with the rest of her collection. i love it when they design gowns and dresses.





Casey- Stella lost this episode, i will miss her quirky little lines. and her bickering with blayne. but you could tell early in the episode that she was done and ready to go home. the pants did fit poorly, but i will give her this. she was really trying to try new things work outside of her comfort zone, and not just spit out leather jump suits. She is on her way home to cuddle up with ratbone on some kind of leather couch somewhere.






Casey- Speaking of poorly made pants, they were super hard on stella but look at the crotch of these pants terri made. just as bad if not worse. and terri is queen of the pants suits. i am still only coming up with ok as descriptive words for terri.





Casey- Suede...the top needs a lapel and i would have liked sleeve, with out the lapel specifically it looks kind of awkward to me. the vest thing and the dress seem a bit off together. the skirt of the dress has too much fabric gathered at the waist, which makes an awkward innertube of fabric at the waist, which the vest only makes more pronounced, and the shape of the skirt is not really appealing either it's just a tube of fabric. his explanation of the the choice of fabric bc it reminds him of camo....ehhh. DVF was looking for more james bond than GI Joe i think.









Casey- Blayne, i am impressed. You stepped outside your your box again, you really tried to take in the ideas and inspiration from DVF's collection and went with it. with that said, I'm not digging the pantaloons. But i really want that jacket! it fits her well, is well made and has a lot going on with it.There is deff still blayne in the design as well with the shot of color at the neck.





Casey- Jerell what with the odd hats...im not sure what is happening with the pieces of this. the blue belt seems out of place, there is a lot of jacket and it doesn't sit as well with me as leanne and blaynes. i cant tell whats happening under it. i dunno the ensemble doesn't seem to go well together. in general nothing sits right with me, on this one. i don't like any of the pieces, and they don't really go well together, which makes things more awkward.









Casey- Kenley. she chose to make one well made dress instead of floundering and making three half assed pieces. she knew what she could and couldn't do in the time given. and that was great for her. it fits really well, it's pretty and works with what DVF had described about her line. it was missing the layers that the rest of the line had, if she would have been able to make another piece a jacket a vest or what ev, she would have won. but she knew her limitations and made a great dress, which she stood by even when heidi bashed her about it. the other judges saw and understood why she made those choices and agreed with them, which kinda of put heidi in her place, as she sat there tight lipped and obviously steamed. i like the lace with the print, is simple, but but well constructed and fits the challenge. it didnt win without the layers which i agreed with the judges reasoning here. solid job kenley



Casey- Joe. Yikes. the fabric and colors are gaudy. the hems are all super crooked. she looks like a shanghai courtesan. the whole thing looks cheap, cheesy, and sleazy.





Casey- I missed the appeal that the judges saw in Kortos piece. i like the black and white fabric, if it looks familiar its bc its the same fabric DVF uses on a dress in that american express commercial that they play every commercial break. but i like that dress. this one not so much. i do not like the way the skirt drapes, its kinda blah looking. the jacket was a good idea, but i don't think it goes well with the dress, it;s the neckline of the jacket that doesn't work i think.
