casey- Korto's swing jacket turned out well. I don't think she rally planned for the the seatbelts to drape that way when she wove the seatbelts together, but she got lucky and it worked for the coat. it is pretty and does not look cheap. I'm glad she took off the length of the sleeves so the silhouette doesn't eat the model.
Casey- Leannes dress won. the fabrics work well, i like the top alot and i like that she has used different fabrics through out her designs on the show. she always had some kind of structured shape to her pieces, i dont really like the horned hips look, i cant imagine this shape being flattering.
Casey- Suede's design is kinda interesting, i like the skirt no one else really uses this fabric. he played it semi safe, he knew that the silver could pull the outfit more toward bad Halloween costume and less fashiony. but i think the line of the skirt could have gone up more, the weight of the top is a little too overpowering, i think more shine would have been beneficial. i still do not like asymmetry.
Casey- Stella tried jumping out of her leather comfort zone with minimal complaining. I applaud her for doing so. i can see where she was going but the top and the bottom do look like they are from two different outfits, she needed to gel the two together more. personally, i wish the whole dress would have gone more towards the design aesthetics of the bottom portion it would be super classy outfit, and she could still keep some stella-esgue pieces, like a more form fitting top and the laced up parts
Casey- Terri's designs always are some kind of variation of a pantsuit. i don't really have much to say about her design. mostly just a shoulder shrug.
Casey- Blayne went against his neon instincts on this one, and once again i am happy to see some of the designers getting brave and trying new things! i like the idea of the loose belts of the skirt, the proportions could have been tweaked here and there. and the draping of the woven seatbelts didn't not work in his favor for the top, the shape created is definitely best used in a stiff wide silhouette like korto, the seatbelts are not form fitting when woven they are deff more boxy. the glass added some sparkle to break up the monotony champagne color, i think the mirrored pieces were too big. if the top was tailored to her, the skirt shortened, the size of glass could have been downsized as well and the whole outfit would have been a home run. but i liked where his head was at even if it didn't turn out, and the fact that he tried something new is what really makes me see the could have or should have been's of the dress in a positive light. there was a funny bit when Heidi had mentioned the bad luck for breaking the mirrors for the dress, and how she related back luck directly to not having sex for years. hahaha. oh Heidi.
casey- Jerell's dress is ok. i like the skirts, the seamlines have reasons to be there, they look like they belong there. the leather and the spandex work together to give it some interest, and it doesn't scream nightwalker, don't get me wrong it does, but its doesn't look as cheap as it could have. the top on the other hand is a different story, i feel like the shapes on the top were just plastered on last minute. the trim on the top of the bodice works, the random piece in the center realllly bugs me. if you wnat diff colors make it princess seamed and do full pieces of the bodice, this just seems last min and lazy. once again i get that they want to impress judges with diff shapes and stuff, but the pointy hip parts can not be flattering on people.
Casey- Keith, maybe it was how the edited the show maybe not, but you sir were the jerk of the season. you were mean, snappy, grouchy, and the stupid bandanna thing you ALWAYS wore was stupid. Now from the front of the the dress and from far away this looks ok. but as soon as you got close to the outfit it really was a hot mess, nothing was level, the slit in the hem one side was longer the seams weren't staying together, your model has to sit to get her hair and makeup done. so why would you think it was a good idea to put her in a crooked skirt that is following apart at the seams and tell her NOT to sit. why is it falling apart its a blouse and a simple skirt, it's a basic piece to construct. i can see making the choice to stick with simple with little time to work, but if you are going simple it needs to be really well constructed. the one thing that bugged the hell out of me the most was when he told his model to WATCH HER BREATHING when she was in the dress.?! really keith?! really?! there are somethings i thought were pretty basic in a n outfit in general let alone ones done by designers on proj runway, you know things like seams staying together, and being able to breath, maybe my priorities are out of whack. lets hope not.
Casey- Joe Schmoe.... oh man. well. it is not falling apart which is good. the lines of the colored parts aren't flattering i think they should follow the bodies shape, and it could have worked with the models body. the dress is kinda sack like, meh. and i am not digging the whole stomach or lower ribcage baring piece, not really sexy, just kinda awkward.
Casey- Kenley, the square toed witch shoes are back and i still don't like them. Kenley used some different piece from the cars which i gave her props for. the pieces all work together. as a whole it was ok, not bad, not great, ok.
but really how long are people going to last on just ok, this ocean of ok designs seem to be this entire season in a nut shell. normally ok gets kicked out in the first couple eps, but since everyone just seems to be ok people are hanging out much longer with these "ok" designs.
i don't think i said ok enough in that last mini rant.
