By CJ BOMB and LES!
Hello Project Runway fans! The lovely Les and I are back, but as she is coming home from a baseball game (the playoffs) she will be chiming in remotely. Considering I am still probably recovering from last week’s Project Runway Recap, maybe that’s a good thing (lol). We are back from camping and everyone is thrilled to be showered (with hot water) and dressed in their normal fabulous attire. Kovid Kapoor is still reeling from the judgement call. He didn’t think that Afa Ah Loo was going home so quickly. Our resident pixie seems very rattled by it. Sadly we don’t think Kovid is long for this competition.
A text comes in from Karlie Kloss and the designers head downstairs to be taken uptown. Way uptown. Oh my God they are headed uptown to meet Daniel Day aka Dapper Dan. Dapper Dan made outfits for the 80’s hip hop community by designing cool looks emblazoned with logos galore. He took all of the aspirations of the community and made them real by making the logo of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, etc… be the focus. All the 80’s NYC rappers went to Dapper Dan to get their gear. They would also sometimes have him upholsterer their cars!
CHECK OUT ALL OF THE PROJECT RUNWAY RECAPS HERE!
I so remember this growing up in NYC. Everyone is fangirling like crazy. He was one of the pioneers of hi-low streetwear until the brands basically sued him to stop using their logos in 1992. (screw you Fendi) Now he is finally getting his due. He is back in a partnership with Gucci. Sebastian has no idea who he is, explaining streetwear in Columbia is not a big thing. He says he feels like the dumbest designer in the room. Oh sweetie, no. Les knows almost everything about fashion and she didn’t know who he was either.
The Challenge
The challenge is to create a fresh version of luxury streetwear to inspire the current generation and generations to come. There is no trip to Mood. Production has loaded up the workroom with fabrics for the designers to choose from. AAAAAAND……its a one day challenge. The designers are a little freaked out by this. Just be happy you are on Bravo kids. Renee Hill has immunity which is probably a good thing. I just don’t see Renee shining in this challenge. Maybe I’m wrong. Dapper Dan will be checking in on them before the runway show.
Jamall Osterholm is totally in the zone as this is what he does. He just wants to get to work right away. I do think that the challenge is his to win. In the workroom there is a lot to choose from with tons of fabric and shiny stuff. Tessa Clark is making her first pair of harem pants but she is confident. Hester Sunshine is a little worried that the fabric she chose is unforgiving, but her silhouettes are not complicated so she feels good about her design ideas.
Nothing Says Streetwear Like… Culottes?
Garo Sparo is doing a streetwear corset? Hmmmm. It is his signature. Kovid is doing culottes? There’s a lot of Little House on the Prairie in some of these sketches. Kovid is doing an homage to the communities that supported to him when he moved to Brooklyn. I love how he says “Mr. Dapper Dan.”. Jamall is making a casual dress. I’m completely confused by the sketch. He is referencing the Elizabethan period as it was a time of great wealth and merging it with urban streetwear? This will either be awesome or awful. No middle ground.
Sebastian Grey is floundering. He is trying to do a version of himself as a young club goer. We are hoping this doesn’t do him in as we love him. Venny Etienne also feels as though this is his challenge. Venny’s inspiration is sneakers that he wanted when he was young but couldn’t afford. Bishme Cromartie is inspired by a fabulous Baltimore lady from his old neighborhood walking down the street with things to do and places to go. He explains where he is from and how most of his friends wound up incarcerated or killed. He wants to showcase the area where he is from in a better light and be an inspiration.
Christian Gives Sage Advice… To A Lot Of Deaf Ears
Christian come in and asks how everyone is doing. Everyone is crazed Christian. EVERYONE TAKE CHRISTIAN’S ADVICE!
Renee HIll was inspired by Dapper Dan’s tuxedo, so she is doing a street version of the tux inspired by Dapper Dan. Christian calls it “pretty”. He asks what Garo is working with fabric wise. Garo tells him it’s a cotton and Christian is like, “Bitch, that’s a tweed.”
Tessa is designing a “pantskirt.”I type that in one word because that is what it is. Christina thinks it is very cool but very low. She is trying to do a puffer jacket for the first time ever and wants to write her logo all over the inside. Just as I think, BRILLIANT, Christian proclaims he loves the idea. Me and Christian are so in sync. We should be friends. I mean we are friends, after he fitted me with that top I bought 10 years ago, but we just haven’t talked in 10 years. He tells her to make sure it doesn’t look crafty.
It’s Like Streetwear If You Live On A Syrian Farm Trying To Avoid The Bombing
Les texts that Rakan Shams Aldeen is in trouble. He’s trying to bring in his own culture which is great. But then, he tells Christian he’s inspired by a farmer woman look. Christian is perplexed. He explains the handmade shawls of the women who would come into sell their wares in Syria and how they would look different from everyone else. Christian loves his ideas but is worried he basically has too many. He tells him to edit. Rakan. You didn’t listen to Christian last week and you wound up in the bottom. Then you listened to Christian and wound up in the top. SO LISTEN TO CHRISTIAN!
Hester Sunshine tells Christian she is going for a rococo boxing look. He is enraptured by the idea. She knows it is ambitious and he thinks it will be awesome if she can pull it off. I text Les that Hester Sunshine is the awesome version of she who must not be named. (banana girl) Les agrees.
Fabric Faux Pas!
Christian Siriano is confused by Jamall’s look as the model is in a “fit and flare” (dress with fitted top and flared out bottom) and it’s a streetwear challenge. When Jamall shows him his fabric Christian freaks out and tells him his look is going tea party. LISTEN TO CHRISTIAN. That is Michelle with the curtain fabric all over again. Christian tells him the judges are NOT going to get it without his explanation and that isn’t a good thing. He stupidly sticks with the fabric. Jamall is going to be in the bottom and the only person who’s fault that is will be Jamall’s. If he had picked a more edgy fabric to go with his dress it might have worked.
Christian Siriano is worried about Kovid’s lack of energy. He tells him not to be so hard on himself. Christian asks him to remember the first look he showed. It was an awesome color-blocked dress that came off as street. He wants Kovid to put those elements into his look. It is in this moment that I fully embrace that Christian is the spiritual heir to Saint Tim Gunn.
This is a flash sale challenge. That means that fan favorite look will be produced to sell. Tessa is PUMPED. We do love the camaraderie of these people. Bishme asks if Tessa will be godmother to his twins. She tells him: What? I’m the mother! Rakan asks Jamall if the judges will think he gave his model a “weenie”. Jamall and Venny step in to help. The answer is NO.
Rome Is Burning While Nero Fiddles
The models come in and fittings commence. I LOVE that Jamall pulls Christian over to ask what he thinks. Christian is worried that the look is still too much tea party and tells him to play with it.
Christian coming in to yell at the designers as they are eating dinner when their models are there is EVERYTHING! I have always remembered him saying during his season that there is ALWAYS something to do. Evan learned that the hard way in All-stars.
He yells at Rakan and I love it. Rakan didn’t even put his look on the model. She’s just standing there while he eats. Les texts: FORESHADOWING. Yup, one or more of the people eating will be in the bottom. You have one day, people! Stop eating and WORK while your model is there!!
Love Is In The Air
Tessa Clark is painting her logo in her jacket. She then runs around in circles until it dries. The designers tell Sebastian his look is Aladdin. Sebastian… man…get it together! Garo thinks it is refreshing to see the normally confident Sebastian be challenged. Kovid is losing his shit! Jamall checks on him and tells him to stay calm. Everyone is being nice to everyone. Can I tell you how much I LOVE this? I simply don’t want unnecessary drama in these shows. If it happens, let it happen organically, not because a producer provoked it, or stupid casting stunts. It’s why I have given up even casually watching Housewives shows. I just read our fearless leader’s recaps. (shout out to TT).
Then, Pandemonium As Time Runs Out
Everyone come in freaking out. Models come in for fittings and Christian announces Dapper Dan is coming in to help critique. I think it is a little late for that. He loves Hester’s fabric and he is blown away by her look. He also loves Bishme’s look. Bishme loves that Dapper Dan showcases where he is from and truly resonates with him as he tries to do the same thing. I think Bishme might cry. It is a very sweet moment.
And then there is Jamall. Oh Jamall. Dapper Dan is worried. Christian is worried. Les and I are worried. We hope he pulls this together but it looks like someone’s badly made costume from Little House on the Prairie with alien inserts.
Dapper Dan loves Renee’s look. He is flattered that she was inspired by his own clothes. Dapper Dan tells Venny that he has made a great street look and Venny beams. He is getting S&M from Sonia but in a good way? Oh Kovid. Dapper Dan is not impressed. He can’t wait to see Lela’s and Garo’s on the runway. He tells Garo that he has done something “amazing” and “so sexy”. I guess the corset worked. Makeup, hair and photos for the flash sale commence.
The Runway
I don’t have to report on what Karlie is wearing because she could be wearing anything and look insane. To me she is up there with Linda, Christy, Naomi, Giselle, Kate…et al. A true “Super” as it were. God bless Heidi but she was never in that stratosphere modeling-wise. Brandice Daniel is the guest judge. She is the founder and president of Harlem’s Fashion Row. She was Dapper Dan’s personal recommendation to be there. Elaine Welteroth is wearing a beret, big earrings and a huge gucci logo sweatshirt. I guess she dressed for the challenge. Thankfully, Nina Garcia and Brandon Maxwell did not.
Hester Sunshine. Hester’s model comes out like a BOSS. Les writes that she knocked it out of the ballpark..she means ring. She thinks that Muhammed Ali’s daughter would rock this. Is it something I would wear? Heck no. Does it work for this challenge and look insane on the model. Yes.
Rakan Shams Aldeen. Rakan’s look was the opposite of what Les thought was coming and she’s okay with it. I think she looks like an extra from Aladdin. It’s a costume. He didn’t listen and he’s fucked.
Sebastian Grey. Les is getting Mad Max from this. Not in a good way. Poor Sebastian and Rakan, I think the cultural aspect of this challenge really hindered them. Karlie whispers to Brandon that it is streetwear, but a little too far in the future.
Venny Etienne. Les thinks that Venny played it safe. While I think that there are some interesting elements to this, I have to agree. It’s a basic bomber jacket with a mini skirt. It does look great on the model.
Sonia Kasparian. Les thinks this is streetwear for a street walker. She’s not a fan. I think this would be great for a Studio 54 challenge.
Lela Orr. Les just types that she rocked it. I’m getting Japanese streetwear. There is an ease and coolness to this that I like. I would wear this in a heartbeat. Love the slits in the skirt and the kimono top with the belt.
Jamall Osterholm. Les texts that Jamall is screwed. She says: It’s like a housecoat plus apron combo done in Elizabethan styling?….yikes. I think he went too cerebral and was too ambitious. The poor construction is blatant. Bad fabric choice. Weird inserts. And the bow in the back? Just bad.
Bishme Cromartie. Les just texts: GO BISHME!! I want to be this woman. I want the pants. The jacket is insane. This is everything that Jamall’s wasn’t. Well thought out, well designed and well constructed. Bravo sir. Love the shoes.
Garo Sparo. Les thinks that while the corset could have been a better fabric choice, the look overall is awesome. This funky corseted jumpsuit worked for me. It certainly moved well.
Kovid Kapoor. Les says there is is no life to this look. I think that Jamall needs to be thanking Kovid right now because this is the look that is going to keep his ass safe. It’s not just bad, it’s boring bad. Kovid, we will miss you.
Renee Hill. I have changed my mind about Renee. Who knew that a mother of nine could do cool streetwear? The bomber jacket is a cool take on an “urban tux” as she put it and I love the red and black check bottom hanging out. Les types that Renee is a badass and she loves this.
Tessa Clark. I want to own this. RICK OWENS AWESOME. Les says there was so much black it was hard to read but reassures me she loves black.
CJ & Les Choose Top And Bottom Looks
Les’s top three are Hester, Renee and Bishme. Her bottom three are Kovid, Jamall and Sonia. She thinks Bishme will win and Kovid should go. Much like our lunch order today, I pick the almost exact same thing. (except Tessa instead of Hester and Rakan instead of Sonia). We both think Bishme will win and Kovid is headed home.
The Judges
Elanie asks what Dap’s reaction was to Venny’s look. He says Dapper Dan loved it. Elaine thinks the shape is sophisticated and can see American women buying it today. Nina thinks this is the most authentic work he has shown.
Rakan explains his street farmer concept. Brandon feels like he’s always on a road trip with Rakan. This week he has no idea where the heck they are going. He’s getting Genie in a bottle. Karlie thinks the styling didn’t help. Elaine likes the slice of tummy but thinks it doesn’t read streetwear and thinks it looks cheap. Nina thinks there are so many ways to communicate this look but he just played it safe.
When Jamall explains that streetwear is so connected to black culture, Brandice interjects and says she agrees, but couldn’t see any young black lady wearing this. Nina doesn’t see it. Elaine asks what he thinks and Jamall tries to explain where he’s coming from. Brandon tells him he’s 23 so he shouldn’t know who he is EXACTLY per se, BUT he has to fundamentally know how to make clothes and this is messy and unfinished.
What Is Streetwear?
Brandice says that when she saw Garo Sparo’s look come down the runway it was her favorite. She loves the snatch (which I guess is the corset…I hope it’s the corset) and the shoes. She thinks it speaks to the future of streetwear which is a high compliment. Elaine thinks he gave them the best of multiple elements.
Elaine loves the shoutout to Greenmount (in Baltimore) on the back of Bishme’s look. Karlie also loves how he incorporated his logo.She also thinks the jacket referenced the past, but it is also current. She can also see it in the future. Nina is crazy about this look. Streetwear that can say and mean something. Elaine then tells him he paid amazing tribute to Dapper Dan’s legacy more than anyone on the runway. Brandon says that he would have a heart attack (in a good way) seeing this on the street. Karlie says he made Baltimore proud.
Karlie thinks that Kovid’s melting pot look clashed. Brandice says the taste level just wasn’t there for her. Nina gets the opposite of streetwear and is getting suburban. Brandon thinks he missed the mark.
And The Winner Is…
The winner of the challenge is BISHME!! Woo hoo!! While we loves Garo’s, we think he nailed the challenge. Rakan is in, but he better start LISTENING to Christian and the judges.
We’ll Miss You Kovid!
To no one’s surprise, Kovid is out. Kovid does a lovely exit and we will miss him for his quotes and energy alone. We are a little mad he didn’t go last week so we could have seen more from Afa.
We hope everyone has wonderful weekend and we do so love hearing from you in the comments! Xoxoxo CJ and Les.
I love Jamall but I think his was worse than Kovid’s–which is saying a lot. And it was poorly constructed. He got lucky.
Les thought it might be a double elimination
I wondered if they’d do a double too!
Both looks were really…hate to say it…but they were ugly.
I was SHOCKED that Jamall sent out an unfinished garment and got to stay. I was prepared to suffer through another week of waiting for them to put Kovid down. I am ready for Rakan to go as well.
Meanwhile, Bravo did not release the photos of the fashions to the media today. I refreshed for hours but nada. That is why we have tons of photos of people sewing. That’s what they chose to give us.
You couldn’t find the photos and I can’t find who won the fan choice from last night. And I can’t find the fashions that they said would be sold on BravoTV from either the first challenge or last night’s.
So happy to see Kovid go! He is definitely a sweet and kind man, but I just couldn’t take him another week.
The challenge for next week looks fun. My Daughter would love that right now
Great recap! CJ your snatch comment is hilarious. Karlie said the viewers could vote on line for their favorite. Does anyone know which designer won fan favorite? Love Bishme. He reminds me of the amazing and terribly missed Michael Knight.
I get Mychael Knight too. What a tragedy to lose such talent and kindness way too soon. It makes me feel better to see Bishkek carry on.
I just went to shop on the Bravo website, Bishme’s striped shirt is already sold out! I really want the cargo pants but I’m not sure my budget agrees with me. ? I may have to make room for an “investment” piece though, I love them!
It looks like we won’t know who wins the fan favorite designs until the end of the season? I haven’t checked Instagram yet.
Bravo, Magical elves, fresh perspective from new judges, and great mentoring from Christian is making Project Runway fun again. Love how the designers are working together. Brandon Maxwell gives constructive criticism to make them better not to tear them down. Project Runway is BACK.
Thanks CJ and Les, you guys are great!
I agree completely SaraK! I was waiting for this recap, can you tell? I’ve already made too many comments but I am in love with the new Project Runway!
All of the judges are perfect. They respect their fellow judges perspectives and also are all very encouraging to the new talent. Their critiques to the designers have been amazing. I can only imagine how hard this competition is but if and when a designer goes home, they’ll take with them powerful, uplifting yet honest advice. Nina even seems approachable this season and of all the judges over the years she’s scared me the most! Don’t get me wrong, she’s still got me puckering when she talks to the designers I love…or don’t!
I LOVE Christian! Love, love, love! I will hopefully getting a shirt fitted by him soon so we can be besties too!
Thank you CJ and Les! Promise, next comment will be on the clothes (blushing)!
Does anyone know who makes the leather jacket that Karlie was wearing when the designers met Dapper Dan? It was amazing!
I’m a Karlie fan but I thought her runway day outfit made her look dumpy. And that’s not easy to do. She’s doing a great job hosting the show and Christian is killing it with the mentoring. He’s giving more specific advice than what Tim had done and it really helps the designers. Venny had my favorite look. Bishme’s jacket was clownish though no one else seemed to think that. At all. I do like his story and was glad that he won but again not my favorite look. I didn’t get streetwear with Renee’s tuxedo look, I think her model just didn’t seem right for the ensemble. Garo’s garment was strong but I’m distracted by the white chunky tennis shoes. Kovid, oh my. That was one dreary combination of layers, it sealed his fate. Jamal, surprised to hear he’s just 23. Seems so sad and joyless. Makes me sad and joyless to see him. I think he fibbed about the sleeves. It wouldn’t have hurt for him to say his dress was to have sleeves when he was asked by the judges. I do like his puffy stuff so I am glad to see him stay another week. And Rakan, that was a genie no bottle and you were lucky that Kovid’s was worse. The designers should start putting pockets in their garments. Judges like pockets, it will save you when you are on the bottom. Those judges take no prisoners. They did however give Kovid a glimmer of hope for the future by telling him that maybe one day his tastes will be in fashion.
I wasn’t familiar with The judge Brandon Maxwell’s designs. I goggled him and he has made looks for Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, Oprah and many more. He is super talented.
It is so refreshing to watch these designers support each other so wholeheartedly — especially so soon after lots of snark on Lifetime’s PRAS. It was quite the moment to see Bishme win — on this more than any other challenge. So many designers from the 1980s are gone (RIP ♥️ John Kloss) that seeng Dapper Dan looking so fit was a surprise lagniappe. I hope there are more of those to come. Bravo, Magical Elves, EVERYONE is killing it. I love Christian more each week. I can’t remember one bit of advice that steered the designers wrong. And a fair amount unheeded that would have helped. Au revoir, sweet Kovid. If they have fan fave, he could win.
I am a huge Hester Sunshine fan. I thought she did a great job one again this week. I was a bit surprised she wasn’t in the top. I think it was probably just too pink for their streetwear vision. I love how she is selling those berets on every episode.
Next week is superheros week and she is intimidated and nervous? That should be her challenge to lose! Now I am nervous!
When Dapper Dan gave Garo Sparo’s look such high praise in the workroom I thought he must be high. Then when I saw it on the runway I loved it. I would have picked him as the winner over the other two.
I was worried Sebastian Grey might stroke out this week. The foreigners were at a HUGE disadvantage this week. They all needed to go stand out on THE STREET in NYC and see what caught there eye and stop thinking about farmer’s wives in Syria and whatever the hell Kovid was trying to do.
I loved her berets, too. My daughter rocked berets when she was in 5th grade, and I still love them.
She sells them online. The Halloween aremy faves.
Last week I thought Kovid should have gone. This week, even though his look was a mess, it was not the worst. IMO you cannot send out an unfinished, poorly constructed look. This is your career, you’re passion. It would be like sending out h cooked chicken on Top Chef. If I were a judge I would have send home Jamall. I am also ready to see Rakan go.
Loved Bishme’s look! Amazing. That blue jacket was everything. And which ever judge pointed out that it could be customized was a genius. Still love Sebastian, next week he will win. That is my prediction.
I’ll be shocked if Sebastian is in the top three next week. He demonstrated weakness this week. He can’t work outside his comfortzone. He had no idea what to do for streetwear. He well be equally flumazed next week. His niche is elegant and formal. He may just be a one trick pony. If that is his style, and his niche that’s fantastic and he should be selling garments NOW. But in this show they like to throw all sorts of blindsides and take them out of their comfort zone. We saw this week he freaks out when that happens.
Even though he was freaking out, he ended up with a decent outfit and he was safe. He really is incredible at what he does best, but I think he’ll be okay next week too. At least I hope so.
Blasphemy! Sebastian will be fine. He adjusted well and sent a finished street wear outfit down the runway. It even received a semi-compliment from Karli.
I LOVED Jamill’s burnout fabric, but not for this challenge. OR MAYBE if he had used it like STREETWEAR and not a dress. Maybe for a T under a quilted bomber (using his other fabric). But he lost it all going for the Edwardian Age for Black people. Perhaps he could build a COLLECTION with that concept but not this challenge.
His fabric was lovely. If ever that was a time fro a drop crotch/ MC Hammer pant, this was it, with that see through organza or whatever it was that Jamall had. Then on the top do something leather and hard.
Boom. Winner.
Great idea TT. Poor Jamal, when Christian said it looked like a fit and flare he should have reconsidered his design
Agree. He could have
He could have used his other fabric and made a quilted moto or something more fresh and forward. I wish we had a little “tour” of all of the fabrics they brought in. The ones we saw were wonderful Except WHERE in the pile of high-end fabrics did Kovid find the boring Docker fabrics?
Great recap. Project Runway is my must see show again, I look forward it every week. I’m watching a rerun of episode one right now. Poor Frankie, she was out of her league from the beginning.
Interesting fact,one of the luxury brands, I think Louis Vouitton or Gucci, was accused of stealing one of Dapper Dan’s 1990s designs a couple of years ago.
Bishme, Garo and Venny were my favorites this week. I wish I could be so stylish.
To see what the designers did in one day is amazing.
The camaraderie of the designers is refreshing. Renee is a solid designer, I like her looks ( except for the Swiss Army knife tarp dress). I like seeing Hester being true to herself.
Sebastian pulled it together with his design.
Kovid was definitely bad this week, but it was finished. His design last week was awful too, so maybe that played into the decision of the judges.
Jamal’s was pitiful.Christian warned him and he still stayed with that dress.
Maybe the pressure of a one day challenge got to Jamal.
Rakan has one more week and then he has to go.
I hate 1 day challenges. It short changes everything.
I remember in the first couple of challenges how impressed I was with the designers , but now the weaknesses are showing, and I think, dude, how are you still here?
My favorite was Jamall. Kidding . And I agree that he seems very sad and that dress would have been ugly, even if finished . I loved Venny’s look, especially the sleeves.
Christian is beyond ! He’s hilarious, to the point and on point. I compare his advice to the mentor on all stars. World of difference .
I thought that Kovid and Jamall’s looks were both bad, and it was only the possibility that Jamall could do more saved him. He clearly had a bad day. Kovid needs additional development as a designer to be competitive in this group. It felt a bit like they were invoking the Little League mercy rule when the finally sent him home.
That said, Jamall does need to step up next week although I do think Rakan is on the thinnest ice. He doesn’t seem able to take feedback and translate that into his design, which is a problem when he’s getting really good constructive feedback from Christian and the judges.
My favorite look this week was Garo’s but Sebastian is still my favorite to win. Let’s hope he pulls it back together for the next challenge (I think he will).
Thanks for the recap CJ and Les! I always look forward to it after watching the show.
I LOVED Bishme’s and totally agree that he should’ve won. I would wear Tessa’s in a heartbeat. I wish they would sell hers.
I like Hester and her work is growing on me but I hate the clothes she wears. I guess it just annoys me that she always looks like she’s in a child’s costume. Like..GIRL…you are a talented woman in a male-dominated industry and no one is going to take you seriously with that ridiculous sparkly pink beret on! Get it together!
Christian is EVERYTHING. I’m so glad this show is back on Bravo. The Lifetime versions were like drinking a Diet Coke with 18 ice cubes in it that’s been left on the porch all afternoon.
I kind of like that she’s not dressing for the male dominated gaze.
I was thinking, while it wouldn’t have resolved any finishin g or sloppiness issue, if Jamall had used the fabric to create Hamilton fused streetwear, he might have wound up with something safe.
Doesn’t christian’s voice remind u of snl’s church lady?
L F’ing L. Yes. Only cute and endearing.
BTW, how come no photos of the runaway garments? really like seeing them here on the recaps. pretty please?
On the Bravo site, Bishme’s blue jacket is selling for $300, his cargo pants for $127 and his striped shirt for $138
Thank you for the re-cap. As a broke, skinny tall chick in the eighties, I made a lot of my own clothes. There weren’t a lot of choices. Now I wish I had been braver. I was the epitome of clothes hanger.
I love Christian! In my mind, he has Tim over his shoulder.
Christian is REALLY coming into his own as a mentor. Even if I wasn’t crazy about most of the designers this season, I’d be in to watch him grow in this role. (When I mean crazy about the designers, I mean their personalities and support of each other… some of the outfits. Meh.)
I so hoped Rakan would go home, and when he asked Chhristian to sit down beside him while eating PLUS the comment ‘Christian is a nice guy but..’. Dude he is your MENTOR, who is great at it.
Bishme’s look was fantastic!
I like the whole time of this season. I have heard the term Dapper Dan used many times, glad to meet the man behind it. Side note- Oh Dan one fine seasoned man….damn
The Dapper Dan I remember was in The Old Maid card deck when I was little.
Loving the recaps! And love the show being back on BRAVO.
But….lol
I’m over the 1 day challenges (like everybody) and also the “auf’ing” has been questionable.
Do we even “auf” anymore without Heidi? 🙂
Dapper Dan was a gangster during prohibition. Since then the term has been used to describe any well dressed man.
I’m late watching and commenting, but to me Bishme’s look was fugly. I also thought Elaine’s pants were fugly. Sparkly blue fabric with 80s shoulders? No. Frayed hem bell bottoms? No. If that is high end street wear, I’m glad I’m not wearing it.
