same story different week

so this season in a nut shell, underwhelmed and the technical skill is not at the usual proj runway level. things more often than not are one of the following or a mix of the following. boring. poorly made, or a replicate of the exact same piece that they make over and over but in a different color. so they paired up with people who got booted earlier to make an avant garde, you know something... experimental... different... out there, outfit based on one their astrological signs....


Suede and Jerry created an i dream of jeannie outfit. the cape is ugly. it look cheesy and shabby, you know the usual.







Kenley and Wesley made the dame shape of dress that Kenley always makes but inflated. once again patterns that look like crap, and still unoriginal which kors called her out on it. in which she acted like a snotty little 5 year old and had a fit on panel, which did not help her at all. she is so confident in the same ridiculous pieces she throws together.





Terri and Keith got paired together which was funny because they despise each other. Terri was crazy controlling and did everything herself while Keith was pouty, pretty unproductive, and mostly indifferent, he slept basically through the whole thing. HA. terri had a leo so she chose red and gold and the piece even had a fur neck piece which she cut bc it was way to obvious, but not even that helped the outfit. the bodice is kinda interesting, but once again it looks like a basic rental from a big costume house., meh.






Leanne and Emily at least they thought outside of the box, this dress didn't yell out the obvious sign, there was something to analyze . it isn't super pretty but at least there was something to interpret, the dress had people talking about how the lines and shape made them feel, and what they got from it, instead of being cheesy and to the point. this was the most avant garde piece i think.

Korto and Kelly had aquarius, not very new or experimental, but its pretty and gives the feeling of water, it is well made to, which puts it at the head of the pack.





Joe and Daniel this one doesn't really pertain much to the avant garde ( although for average joe this is out there i guess compared to the rest of the pieces we have seen from him so far on the show) again but it isn't falling apart and i think it's kinda pretty...i definitely had a barbie with this dress circa 1989 same gold sleeves and shiny fabric for the skirt.









Jerell and Jennifer it did not turn out as badly as i thought it would at first glance at that drab plaid. the skirt reminds me of history of fashion project i did which places it in the late 1800's. I don't think the fabrics go well together color pattern or texture.










Blayne and Stella... oh Blayne i will miss your goofy antics and you were a good guy you brought some life to the show. but this is ridiculous, straps, a nude jump suit, and randomly squished fabric you wanted the whole uneven scale thing yeah, but couldn't it have been pretty or intricately instructed?



Now before they went to the runway they had a party with some of the designers from past episodes, it was funny to see them all together, the previous designers underwhelmed but still trying to give tips with out being like . what? really?! this is all you came up with? Christian had like 5 secs of airtime and stole the show as expected. This seasons designers hum drumness only stuck out out with all the previous designers around mingling.
