I was so annoyed when he started crying. I hate the cryers. I get that you're all into your art and shit, but godddamit, be a professional! There's no crying in baseball OR fashion.

Because books.

What was sad was Christopher's dress could have worked if he hadn't used that stiff fabric for the skirt. Who sees a waterfall and thinks, "Ooh, something heavy! Something that doesn't move!" He should have used really filmy silk or something that would *ripple*.

One thing that really bums me out about this season is the lack of color. Barring a few pieces in a few challenges, everything's been greys, blacks, beiges.

I actually liked Christopher's dress last night. Althea made another hot mess. I also didn't get how Carol Hannah's dress was "well made". I'm happy she got through, but I thought her model looked all bumpy and lumpy coming the runway.

me either. I thought that she was going to get ripped for the wierd lumps and wrinkles. It looked much better standing still than moving.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Project Rungay guys are livid about Gordana.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The judges have had a serious hate-on for Gordana all season long, whereas I think she's made some really lovely dresses. I thought her paper dress was one of the best of that challenge, and was shocked when she ended up in the bottom three for it. And last night's dress was gorgeous! Yes, the zipper was a wrong choice (she should have sewed her model into it), but it was really pretty.

I'm not so sure if it was the judges or Heidi. Since she's the only one who's been there for every judging, she's probably had a tremendous influence on the judging, since she can talk about past designs/mistakes that the other judges haven't seen.

While Irina's was the opposite. It flowed and moved beautifully, but when the model was standing still was a giant ball of frump.

Yep. I didn't hate the length, but then I think that most of the stuff on the runway is way too short. Clearly these are not clothes made for people to sit or bend over in.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Maybe to tweak my idea for the Bryant Park challenge - choose the three or four best looks from the season and design your collection around those. Even if there is a dress made of an unusual material - it could be worked into the collection. Austin cornhusk dress was nothing short of amazing and could have fit into any collection he did.

IMHO, if a look is designed and constructed well, it should be able to have minimal tweaking to fit into any collection that designer does if it is a true representation of that designer's aesthetic.
