Hello All! Welcome to the Project Runway Recap. The Lovely Les and I and are texting tonight. Her lovely daughter wants to spend time watching with Mom. Awww. In my house of stinky teenage boys, I have Lucy the cockapoo watching with me. When Project Runway comes on for some reason everyone disappears in my house. Les and I are also getting input from Super C, said lovely daughter. Lucy barks when I yell, so I assume that means she’s agreeing with me input wise.
First of all. We shall not talk about last week. Agreed? Short review about last week. Done. Anyhoo…onwards and upwards. Karlie walks out looking like a goddess in red. Guess who else is here? CYNDI FREAKING LAUPER. Love her. Love love love. She has a Tony, Emmy AND Grammys…plural. Cyndi looks amazing. She and Debbie Harry were always idols of mine. She is an idol of Geoffrey’s as well. He’s actually quivering. He has done Cyndi in drag. Cyndi worked in a vintage store back in the 80’s. She used bits of everything to create her look. She was always trying to look larger than life, especially since she’s so tiny.
The Dreaded Team Challenge
The challenge this week is a TEAM CHALLENGE…dun dun dunnnnnnnn. Everyone groans. Since Victoria won last week, the teams will be chosen by fate. She gets to pick which one she wants to join. The two teams will have to put together a runway show inspired by the eighties (and also Cyndi’s pop punk aesthetic) but rooted in modernity. The button bag comes out. Geoffrey, Delvin, Dayoung, Brittney and Nancy are on one team. Which leaves Melanie, Marquise, Sergio, Shavi and Chelsey on the other team. In a surprise move (to us anyway) Victoria picks Team one.

Team one proceeds to bicker about who is going to what. Nancy tells Delvin to pick a print and everyone else can work from this color-wise. Sergio takes control of the other team, wisely suggesting everyone play to their strengths. Shavi will do a cocktail dress, Chelsey a romper and Marquise… He’s good at doing see-through shirts? Is that a skill-set? Sergio wants to do the dramatic last look. Shocker. Chelsey notes his idea isn’t very 80’s. Sergio knows with his leadership skills and talent, it will all be fabulous.
Remember that holier than thou friend in college? Save the whales? Eat vegan? Peace? Save the planet? You agree with them in principle, but you also want to punch them sometimes? That’s Sergio in a nutshell. Brittney interned for Betsey Johnson (Les texts: of COURSE) so she feels pretty confident. As they bicker about ideas, Geoffrey justs wants them to figure it out as they go along. The other team is done and ready to go to Mood. I text Les that Victoria picked the wrong team.
Madness At Mood
Christian awaits the designers at Mood. they have $300 each to spend and 2 days to complete the challenge. The winner will come from the winning team. The loser will come from the losing team. Team Chaos needs to find a print. This is not going well. Nancy knows that they have to be cohesive. Delvin is over it and ready to just grab what he feels will work best for him. Brittany is freaking out and Delvin tells her to calm down. The last time my husband told me to calm down, I turned to my 17 year old and asked what the three things are you NEVER say to a woman. He duly recited: Let it go, Relax and CALM DOWN. If you ever want to take a woman from zero to 100, just say that in a condescending manner. It will work beautifully.

Delvin is frustrated his team members keep shutting down his print ideas. Les says that’s a perfect meme. Shut Down Delvin. Geoff is too stressed to handle this crap. He wanders off to find what he wants. I text Les that this is not good. She hopes his accessory making will save him. Super C predicts team Nancy will not win even though Nancy is on the team. I text that this is ironic as she is really the only one who was alive/remembers the 80’s. Well…except for Geoffrey.

Delvin can’t deal with Nancy? Seriously? Team two has grabbed a print. A bold print. A bold STRIPED print. I’m not sure how I feel about this. Les texts: stripe-gate. Team one has everything on the floor and are frantically picking through it trying to make some sense of the pile. Christian tells them they have no idea what they are doing. The prints are crazy and NOT modern. With very little time to spare, Delvin sprints to get another option. This is stressful to watch.
We Want TO Hug Geoffrey
Geoffrey explains that he is the son of a military officer. His father taunted him about how he “wished he had a son”. He says the hardest thing is being young and thinking who you are is not ok. Cyndi Lauper taught him that it was ok to be himself. He’s very, very emotional about this challenge. Les and Super C text that they love his story and the connection to Cyndi. I hope this isn’t one of those kiss of death moments on Project Runway. It’s going to go one way or the other.

Geoffrey is worried about having to use pink because it is a color he doesn’t work with. He asks Victoria for help. She is lovely and assures him she has his back. I’m warming to Victoria. Team two is just cruising along. Now, I thought this would be an obvious win as the other team is all over the place. HOWEVER. The stripe. Say it with me people: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. I’m okay with a stripe.
I remember Malibu Sue from WLIR wearing pants with a thick stripe when she introduced Book of Love and Depeche Mode in concert in NYC in 1985. But it’s a LOT for a whole collection. Christian makes a snarky comment about how much they love it. Everyone but Sergio looks a little worried. He tells them there’s cohesive and then there’s matchy matchy.

Over in crazy town, Nancy is explaining the concept of organized chaos to Christian. Christian notes Delvin looks bored. Delvin thinks Nancy is taking this cohesion idea too far. Christian asks what the collection is. When they pull out the pink, he notes that the other team is doing black and white with a pop of pink. Geoffrey is trying to be a team player with the pink. He tells them to not worry about incorporating the exact same color. Make it more bandage-y and cool. Cyndi has to love it and the judges have to love it. Simple. I text Les that Christian saves the day yet again. Geoffrey looks immensely relieved. Les texts that is was a good therapy session and she and Super C are #teamchaos.
Accessories Are Everything
Christian announces that with the exception of shoes, the teams must make their own accessories. I have fond memories of doing this. I shopped at the hardware store. Christian walks around stealing away all of the belts, bands, baubles etc… They will have $200 dollars to spend at a “notions” store tomorrow. Team Calm is re-assessing the amount of stripes in their looks. Marquise decides to do a white short instead of a striped short. Les texts that white tight shorts are not good anywhere, let alone on a runway in bright lights. I love Chelsey, but that romper?

I hate that Delvin and I agree on something, i.e. Beetlejuice. I text Les and Super C that a lot of what is going on in this workroom looks like what Super C and her friends would be trying to copy what me and MY friends were wearing circa 1983-85. A costume version of “punk-pop”. And I hate that term anyway. That era was POST-punk and more new wave. Meh. Semantics. I tell Super C I will show her the pictures some day. Maybe.
At the end of the day Nancy is still trying to talk about cohesion. Her team doesn’t care. They are getting frustrated with Nancy. Team Calm is asking each other what they think about their outfits. What needs editing. It’s very grown-up. Even Sergio isn’t being an ass. I wonder if this is a red-herring. I thought they would win in the beginning…..but the stripe…..Melanie is not happy. She doesn’t do eighties.
Punk Is Just Expressing Yourself
The designers head to a store called Trim and Feathers. My husband, who has come downstairs to get water, asks if it is a S&M shop. Nope. Looks like a Clarie’s boutique threw up in there. Buckles, spikes and zippers galore are bought.
Back in the workroom the models come in for fittings. Geoffrey is INTO it now. Sergio makes a comment how easy his fitting are because he is such an expert craftsman. Vomit. He’s doing a train. Of course he is. Team Calm keeps asking each other how they feel. It’s like a group therapy session every five minutes. The only hiccup comes when everyone asks Melanie how she feels about her skirt. When they offer suggestions she ignores them. Not good. Shavi says she’s swiping everything left. That made me spit out wine.

Dayoung asks Brittany what she thinks of her ruffles. Brittany is worried it reads 80’s prom. Dayoung notes she has never been to a prom. She decides to go with zippers instead. Nancy is putting together her look as she figures it out. It is frustrating her teammates. For a woman who talks a lot about cohesion, your teammates not knowing what you are doing is a problem. The night before the runway show Nancy is upset because she feels as though she has been left out of group discussions. They assure her this isn’t the case. Les and Super C think she is being left out because she is too good for these people. I hate to see Nancy upset.
Runway Day
Everyone is accessorizing like mad. Christian is back to help. Melanie is doing a whole new look? I text Les and Super C I have a bad feeling about this. They text back they pick Team Chaos to win. We have both done a complete turn around. I guess Victoria was right. Christian tells Team Chaos to put their looks together as each is singular. He says if it doesn’t make sense they will be in the bottom. Lined up Delvin thinks this look gets lost. Christian tells Dayoung she needs help. Dayoung explains what else she is going to do.

When Brittany makes a suggestion about Nancy’s look, Nancy gets feisty. She walks away to fit her garment. I text Les: Damn. Team Calm is happy. Christian’s side-eye about the white short? Marquise looks nervous. He should be. He didn’t have a white zipper so he had to improvise. I now agree with Les and Super C. Team Chaos is in better shape.
Runway Time After Time
Heehee (see what I did there). Ok, whatever Cyndi Lauper’s regimen is? I want to know. She has what I call the Helen Mirren factor. She’s 66 and doesn’t look like she’s trying to reverse age (cough, Madonna, cough). I’m also loving Karlies’ bangs. Here we go….
Click Here For More Project Runway Recaps!
We start with team two. Oh Marquise. The top of this look isn’t bad, but the white shorts? Les and Super C both HATE this. I love you Chelsey I do. But why did you not make the top of this black? Beetlejuice. Melanie has put carwash flappers over a pink tube dress. Shavi? I’m getting Lady Miss Kier. (not necessarily a bad thing). And the denouement? I text Les that I simply do not understand Sergio’s look. It makes no sense. And only Sergio could make punk-pop matronly. God-awful.
Next up, is Team Two AKA Team Chaos
Dayoung made an S&M dress for a Broadway production. Brittany made an S&M office look. I like the bottom of Delvin’s look. I had many a handkerchief skirt back in the day. Victoria made the same dress she has made four times but with ruffles. It is cool though. I am envisioning a Helmut Newton photo shoot when Geoffrey’s look hits the runway. That is a compliment. Nancy’s was technically the most punk. She did what she wanted. Didn’t give a shit in the end. Even though there was a Stevie Nicks factor, it made more sense than Sergio’s.
Click Here For More Project Runway Recaps!
Both Les and Super C pick Marquise for the worst look. While those shorts are bad, Sergio’s look is nuts. We are worried about Melanie. Les picks Victoria for her top look. I pick Geoffrey. Les texts, “Of course you do. He is your guy.” He is right now!
Judging The 80’S
Team Chaos wins! Team Calm is stunned. Victoria, Geoffrey and Brittany are in the top. Sergio, Melanie and Marquise are in the bottom. Everyone else safe.
Cyndi thought Victoria’s look was very 1986. Black with a splash of color. She thinks the boots made it modern. Nina loves the contrast. She thinks it is a nod to the 80’s but very now. Brandon loves the sliver of skin in the back. He could totally see Cyndi wearing this. He also tells her he is in love with her.

Karlie asks Geoffrey if it is nerve-wracking to design for your idol. Uh…yeah? Cyndi loves it. She loves the 80’s reference but thinks it is modern and well made. She loves the pants. Karlie thinks the detail work is amazing. Nina seems to be rolling her eyes? Brandon thinks the hair and makeup are perfect. He tells Geoff his draping skills are incredible. Elaine echoes Cyndi’s opinion. Apparently NIna does like it because she gives her highest compliment: it looks expensive.
Elaine loves the corset Brittany did. Nina loves the details. It’s pop meets pink meets punk. Cyndi thinks young people would wear it. Brandon hates it, but appreciates her efforts.
Sergio In The Bottom Is Everything!
Nina tells Sergio his garment does not connect in any way shape or form. She doesn’t understand it at all. Cyndi thinks there is too much going on, even for her, and she would never wear it. Les texts: Tyler 2.0. It’s not quite THAT bad…..but… Sergio essentially tells them if they don’t like it, it’s their problem. He designs for a sophisticated woman over 40. You idiot, how old do you think Cyndi and Nina are?? Brandon tells him he willingly signed up for a show. If he’s not willing to learn anything and just make excuses what’s the point?

Elaine thinks Marquise’s look was too on the nose. The styling didn’t help. Karlie thought the jacket was the saving grace, but seeing it next to Geoff’s didn’t help. The shorts bothered Cyndi. Brandon says the zipper is a problem.
Poor Melanie. No one remembers anything she has done. This was NOT the challenge where she wants to be remembered. She nervously goes on a rant and essentially digs herself into a hole. These challenges don’t play to her aesthetic…blah blah blah. Cyndi shuts her down by telling her not to blame it on the 80’s.
Happy And Sad
Geoffrey wins!! And cries. We love that he won this challenge. He gets to hug Cyndi and his life is complete.
Melanie is sent home for being forgettable. She wishes she had been braver. Us too girl.
She is upset with herself vs Sergio who believes he is a misunderstood genius. We wish he had to pack his hubris and go. Alas…no.
Next week looks interesting, and Sergio cries! We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Your 80’s gals …CJ and Les.
Stripegate! ?
Apparently I am Sergios target customer but I wouldn’t buy or wear anything he has made
That is the best comment! You made my night!
WITHYA!
I am at the upper end of Sergio’s demographic, and to channel Cyndi (hopefully with her saucy accent) “Oy wouldn’t weah that if Oy was deadd!” i WOULD, however, wear Geoff’s in a heartbeat!
Cyndi is the absolute best! I carry her with me as my pocket elf, I have worked to achieve the hair, the clothes and the voice completely through my life, I just love this woman! I even watch her commercials fully (I don’t watch commercials, love my dvr) and have NEVER achieved any close semblance!
Side story. In the 80’s I was an art student from the midwest (went to IU before I went broke) so I joined the USArmy. I know, no logic here, but it’s what I did and no regrets, best thing I ever did. If I had a nickle for everyone that asked me if I was from…don’t laugh people, California, long before this yankee (no offense meant or taken, what? Too soon?) was close to the west coast, I wouldn’t have kept babysitting all their kids for change! I was sooo into fashion then. I still am but I don’t need to express myself so loudly all the time anymore and have morphed into all that I’ve loved I keep, all that I don’t and add what I like now. I have to like what I’m wearing, I don’t expect anyone else to, but I still stand out (tall and because I do wear fun clothes/jewelry and keep my hair very short) I get compliments by random people almost daily..2 people yesterday in the grocery store, random compliments on my sweater (daughter gave to me last xmas…a keeper…she knows what I like, DH even questioned that gift last year, eye roll! It’s different.)
Anywho! I would die to wear what Geoffrey created! It is amazing! I’m so glad he won for his personal reasons but his finished product is so beautiful and met every criteria of the challenge. I am so happy for him!
I know Melanie had to go but it was so cringe worthy seeing Sergio’s “creation” then to have to listen to him school the judges during his critique. Why couldn’t this have been the double elimination week? What a pompous ass, he’s not going to learn anything by this experience, send him home soon please. I like seeing the evolution of ups and downs, lessons learned, continued growth and opening to new ideas with new creative juices triggered!
Thank you CJ and Les!! Sorry I went on and on…
Kipper – No need to apologize. It’s a beautiful story!
Oh, Sergio ?. I’m in his target age group, maybe past it, and he’s made nothing I would wear. I hate his ruffled train. While not suitable for moi, I thought Chelsey and Shavi had interesting looks. They used the graphic of the stripes well.
Delvin is starting to be a bit Sergio-ish. I’m not sure where he gets off with all the eye rolling. I really loved Geoffreys look, although it’s a bit like his first outfit. Victoria’s aesthetic is not mine, but I thought her look was a great interpretation of the era. Brittneys jumpsuit was ok, but didn’t ring my bell.
I thought the winner and loser were the right choices. As much as I wished Sergio was offd, he was lucky Melanie made a worse outfit.
I was so happy Sergio was in the bottom, it’s too bad Brittnay couldn’t be there to join him, talk about insufferable assholes. I’m glad her outfit got picked apart upon closer inspection.
And I was soo happy Geoffrey! He really deserved the win!
I hate Sergio.
I love Nancy.
Thank goodness for Christian. He knows his stuff.
Ok – let’s talk here. Tyler 2.0 for TWO reasons!
Tyler has put out into the universe a new t-shirt to purchase for $35 with the famous phrase…”Not even dinner with the Kushners?” Though he is donating most of the proceeds – I feel like his head is still in the wrong place.
Sergio basically mimicked Tyler’s attitude from last week – trying to belittle the judges for having the given opinions that they went with. Even Cyndi said – I learned most of my lessons from my failures but that kind advice/support was meant for Melanie! Sergio – you failed but you are still in the game so just zip it with your ruffled train!
Sounds like Tyler doesn’t I understand that line was taken as a personal jab, not a bon mot.
Loved Cyndys look of revulsion when Sergio was justifying his elite aesthetic. Still laughing at it.
Sergio’s 1984 K-Mart ruffle sheer curtain train was in no way fashion. It was so bad I am actually remembering a friend that worked at a chain called Country Curtains back then and they had these in their catalogs for YEARS! Sheer grossness… get it? ?
Country Curtains–lol!! Their catalogs appeared in the mailbox every week, it seemed, and always with those ruffles on the front or back cover.
Dumbest statement to make to the judges when competing on a reality elimination show–“It’s not my problem if you don’t like it.” Sheer stupidity! 😉
Very enjoyable recap!
Geoffrey’s look + Helmut Newton eggzactly!!!
Excellent reference. Haven’t thought about Helmut Newton in a long time.. wish I had some old VOGUEs & Ws to omelook at some of his layouts. OT, INTERVIEW magazine was the best in the ’80s!
Always look forward to y’all’s recap, per usual it was entertaining and spot on.
Thanks!
I mean, I don’t want to be mean, but no one even knew who Melanie was. I am Team FANCY NANCY for the win. And I don’t want any more team challenges where she feels left out.
I love her too. I also understand how she works. She doesn’t necessarily have an end vision, she pushes into the challenge and lets her fabrics and initial design ideas take over…she is probably never quite “done” because there’s always something better…love her
Super C and I had some dialogue about her style of work. I called Nancy something like the Fabric Whisperer.
Oh and also, Shavi is way under rated. He’s quite talented.
I think Shavi had the best look of the night. He was just on the wrong team.
I agree and am really quite fond of Shavi’s work.
Imo, Mister “I Don’t Care About What Christian or the Judges Have To Say” should of been kicked off instead. He’s attitude is STANK and that dress was FUGLY!
I hope we get to see Sergio take a hard fall. But he is clearly this season’s villaian. So, I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
Also Apologies to CJ Bomb and Les for the delay in getting this up. I’m on the struggle bus just trying to keep things going. I appreciate the recaps so much.
I’m watching the show now, and just want to say YOU AND LESS ARE THE FUCKING WHIP!!! This is the BEST Project Runway recap, bar none. Ok, with that said, I already am irritated by Sergio, and will return shortly. I should also point out that I’m out of Newport’s and am especially prickly this evening.
1) Karlie’s bangs are ?. If my head didn’t look like a pumpkin, I would rock that look.
2) Nina gets all the respect for still being a judge in this show, she gives it a level of panache like no one else.
The runway is starting!!!! I hope all that striped shit doesn’t look like a BeetleJuice shit show.
I love, love love Cyndi Lauper! I am fascinated with how the same mouth can produce both that gravelly Queens speaking voice and that perfectly pitched, inspirational soprano singing voice… and that she composes… and that the overcomes medical challenges… and that such a tiny body can produce so much volume. At 66, and probably in pain, she still looked like she was capable of kicking a$$.
I’m a big Victoria fan (I mentioned in last week’s comments that anyone who can do what she does coming from a former Soviet block country where the average take-home monthly salary is under $300 has my heart), and yes, she tweaked an earlier look, but to paraphrase Isaac Mizrahi on Dmitri Sholokhov, “Is she a one trick pony? But it’s such a good trick!”
However, this week, I’m glad Geoffrey won, and only partly for the emotional reasons. His look was stunningly beautiful, and would look equally fantastic on a young, cool girl like Karlie or on a sophisticated, never-lost-her-cool woman who lived through the ’80s (and ’70s and ’60s like moi?). Speaking of that demographic…
Sergio is delusional. What older woman wants to be seen in a transparent top over a black bra with plastic pink tchochkes, a black and white beach towel, and a Super Dowager cape hanging from it? Give me Geoffrey’s look!
I knew from the beginning that Team Chaos was going to win. Yes, really! Punk-meets-Pop-meets-Cyndi Lauper is anything but “calm”. From the start, the “calm” look to me read preppy sorority house getting ready for an ’80s themed mixer. Too matchy. Too boring. And what was going on with Marquise’s model swinging that chain? Shavi’s look was almost cool, but it was more Sorority Girls on Ice. Melanie has suffered enough; i won’t say any more except that I hope she learns to go for it.
Brittany’s look was pure Betsey Johnson, and I’m not a fan of Betsey Johnson.
My top three were: Geoffrey, Victoria and Nancy
Bottom: The judges had it right. Sergio’s sewing skills and ability to produce drama saved him For now.
Best quote of the night (Dayoung on Sergio), “He should stop talking.”
Ok, I’m liking the striped shit….but I have tacky tendencies.
Ok, I’m loving Dayoung’s shit….and Victoria’s shit….oh, to have size 4 thighs again….
I’m waiting for her to do something spectacular. I feel like she has it in her but hasn’t shown her full potential yet.
Did Sergio’s ass get rude Goddess Cyndi Lauper???? I’m about to launch my empty ashtray at his hairy ass. Fucker looks like he’s the next up on 90 Day Fiancé. Bastard.
Sergio is n the bottom 3?!!! I just almost sharted myself!!!!
(I just had to teach my spellcheck the word “sharted”). #Winning
Cyndi Lauper is that Bish. I would sell my husband to be her PR/Publicist for a day.
CJ and Les- great recap. I loved Geoffry’s look especially the pants. I also liked Shavi’s. I liked the hard and soft vibe. Victoria always does really cool well made looks but three of them look similar and I’m worried the judges will comment on it if they see another one. I like Nancy and felt her frustration. Sergio just can’t help himself. I think he will stick around for awhile because every season needs a designer that is too big for his britches.
Marquise must have something going on that hasn’t been shown to the viewers yet maybe? I thought Melanie, who I’ve not noticed before either, deserved another chance. Marquise has had too many chances.
Cyndi seemed like she didn’t feel good or was tired?
Or maybe she was tired from the utter lack of any of her exuberance and joy that was lacking in ALL of these designs and fabrics? Nancy tried to capture but I saw little else. This ep was a total miss for me – disappointment mixed with boring.
The best part is CJ, Les and now Super C! 🙂
I was kind of surprised that she didn’t get up and hug Geoff after he was crying to her about how inspirational she’s been in his life. She was just kind of like yeah I’ve heard this all before. Lol. At least she gave him a hug when he asked. But still remained seated. I don’t know why it struck me but it did. Maybe like you said she was tired or something.
That was kind of a disappointing moment. But at least she said yes.
I hope we hear more from Super C. It occurs to me that these recaps are kind of like People’s Couch. I’m glad we have Super C on the couch! Because we is OLD AF. lol and Super C can school us all.
Once my sleeping beauty – Super C wakes, as teens only do so well at : ), I will be sure to get her not the blog commentary!
Oh we don’t need to corrupt Super C. Let her LIVE. lol.
I ate lunch with CJ on Friday after the show and told her the same thing. I felt like the show was quite mundane. Where was the energy? I don’t necessarily need the bad drama but the first few episodes really knocked it out of the ballpark (sorry – son plays baseball).
Also, I like Shavi more and more each week. He doesn’t complain and just keep on churning out good looks. He seems to be riding the middle of the pack right now but I predict he goes a long way. (FYI I have not intel for this show so I am just as clueless as the rest of you on how it all turns out.) Also I am sorry for the delay in getting this up. The girls got it up very timely. I am just unwell mentally and on the struggle bus.
I’m sorry. You’re not alone though. I was on the booze bus for over a week and now I’m on the flu bus. Between the alcohol and my now never ending fever I’m having trouble finding basic words. Oh and I missed a much needed job interview so fabulous. Ugh. We’re going to get through this though!
Thanks. But I am not so optimistic.
Shavi is growing on me too TT!
Keep struggle-bussing along…we’ll get there! I’m headed to the gym tomorrow. It really helps me mentally, but just insane how I have to FORCE myself to realize that each and every time I stop going, lol. Tonight I got motivated by eating a large black olive/onion pizza while watching My 600# Life. I would so love if you would recap that show! My love and attraction to Dr Now is kinda creepy though, so maybe it’s better that you don’t.
Yeah I am going to take a pass on that one. 🙂
Was around when Cyndi was around but just knew her music and not anything about her. So glad to hear how she gave strength to others. Great that Geoffrey got the win but I thought his pants were too slouchy and looked like they were falling down. The jacket shoulder was too pointy. I would have given the win to Victoria though the white ruffle of the skirt looked like toilet paper stuck to the waistline. Didn’t like Brittany’s at all although the photo of her pink and black outfit posted here looks interesting and much better than it looked on my TV. I did not like Shavi’s at all, very circus-like. I liked Marquise’s other than the black zipper and the footwear. That black zipper made it looks like black pubes were peeking out, never a good look. Nancy’s design was pretty but didn’t seem punk. Would have made a tight straight neckline top not that loose fitting curved thing. Melanie’s outfit didn’t look bad when it came out on the runway but up close it was a mess. Sergio’s was a craft project and not a good one. Christian is great, funny, smart and helpful.
Sergio is an insufferable little cunt. There, y’all were thinking it and I said it.
I so agree with you! I cant wait to see him be eliminated.
Since this episode aired, we have learned about the death of longtime former PR Lead Makeup Artist Scott Patric. I hope they mention him in post-production notes tonight.
I wish this would have been an individual challenge so we could have seen some really crazy good stuff. The team stifled creativity in this instance.
I guess I am the only one who doesn’t hate Sergio. Beneath that braggadocio lies major insecurity. (From the previews, we may learn more about the root tonight. Or maybe not.) He has the education. He has the skill and talent. The good taste is missing. Christian was rejected by FIT and Seth Aaron was self-educated and look at them. Good taste.
Melanie … if you want minimal, look no further than Karlie’s final dress the week before. One of my favorites in a long time. The cut above the waist— masterful. Like 1970s Calvin Klein, clean and elegant.
Nanette – Thanks for posting this. I read it right as the show was wrapping up last night for EST timers. I sent to CJ – so saddened by his lost. He always brought such energy and warmth to the designers – almost like their cheer leader while they escaped the work room.
