So, yeah, Tom and Lorenzo ranted best, so go check out their post on this mess. Here are my comments on last night's episode, typed up as I watched: ( Read more... )
Odd that they would call Kini's derivative of McQueen but fail to mention that Sean's was a low budget McQueen rippoff as well.
Emily desgns all seem stuck in the 80's which based on her flashback picture appears to have been her hey day.
Looking at the pictures I don't hate Amanda's as much as I did last night.
Korina truly did deserve to go home, but I understood Fäde being auf'd. BTW, TLo posted his finale collection if you want to see it. It reminds me of Alexandria from last season, only he used color.
I have no idea why Alexander keeps winning fan fav week after week. He hasn't made an impression on me one way or the other. He's as middle of the pack as Char to me.
Ugh, I hate that McQueen concept. A young girl in a virginal white dress gets attacked by white phallic objects squirting her up and staining her pure white frock. WHILE PEOPLE APPLAUD. UGH, YUCK, SO MUCH ICK.
Now I hate Marc Jacobs but that's a WHOLE 'nother story.
As for Amanda, I didn't like her look, but it made sense - plus, I just don't like her aesthetic so I'm trying to take that into account when I talk about her now. Same with Sandhya. That's part of what's so discouraging, two of the favored designers I find baffling.

Yeah me too, and oooh, I do wanna see it, thanks! I'm gonna go look once I post this comment.

Me neither! And his personality is pretty much blah too, so wtf.
For some reason Sandhya doesn't bother me. I don't think she's perfect, but I don't see the pure evil many seem to see. I had no problem with her wins either. In fact she's my choice for the win

I don't either, and I'm resenting the editing attempts to create an evil monster. I actually liked Sandhya's idea this time - I think if she had constructed the pinwheels on top all the way down the pants as well, it would have been really cool.
Tim Gunn is perfect or even the same guy we first met. He's an exe producer and has a financial stake in this show.
Yeah, and as T&L are pointing out, he's reduced to pushing the hell out of the corporate sponsors, which is sad. He's been Vanna Whited!
This show is about making money and telling narratives. Sadly for me, this is what all reality tv has been reduced to. It used to be such fun competitions. Now the human element has been reduced to a mawkish sentiment to push product instead of the triumph of human will to succeed that it used to be as a natural outcome of submitting one's self to social judgment. Now telling anyone they just aren't good enough because

It's a very dated, very sort of European style. He reminds me a little of Alexandria from last season, but Fäde's has more of an 80's feel to it. Alexandria's felt more urban/industrial, similar in style to Alexander Wang. The wording just didn't work for me. It felt overdone.
Yeah, it seemed very Euro-Asian to me (euro clothes style, Asian with the logo-ing). And yeah, dated, but very neuvo East German.
Hey, as he said, he wanted the exposure. I seriously think he basically said "Fuck this, I've gotten what I needed out of this" and gave up when they had him reading lines about the wonders of Samsung products as if he really meant it. That was so fake I started laughing in the middle of the "conversation."
