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.

The Project Rungay guys are livid about Gordana.

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.

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.

actually, that's a great idea - choose three looks from your work this season and design a collection around them.

Unusual materials are not always a bad thing. Korto's restaurant materials dress was fabulous , better than her planned stuff. (still annoyed that Daniel won over her, and that they gave her a bitch edit for being disappointed that she didn't win)

I love this idea -- then you'd get nine new looks for the runway, and it would really force the designers to look at what they'd produced so far and decide which best reflects their perspective and style.

Bravo's got S2 rerunning today, and right now is the garden party episode, which is also when Santino riffed on Tim and Andre going to Red Lobster. Heh.
