I'm a little sad that Channing went home, I think she did better this week than previous weeks. Eta: in her partner dance. IDK about her solo.
The thing Victor did to his toes at the end of his solo? Ouch! That's the main thing I really noticed.
Loved the opening group number and boy, Bollywood looks so exhausting.
Dude, SURVIVOR!!!
That is all.
I second Nora's SURVIVOR!!
Shit, I'm way behind on Survivor.
I keep forgetting to catch up with On Demand.
PR:
The camera work is really shitty. I cannot believe how wrong they did Carol Hannah's final look. You couldn't see ANY detail on that final gown. It's bullshit.
I was way less impressed with Carol Hannah's than I thought I would be. There's no story there, to use designer lingo. No theme carried through, other than evening. I did like a few pieces, though.
I actually loved that camel-colored evening gown of Althea's. Irina's was a little too black for me, and the headgear was nuts. Who wears that?!
Carol Hannah had several pieces I really liked. I love that sort of exploded tutu thing, the inverted pyramid the Herald-Tribune woman called it.
Irina had a cohesive collection, but I didn't like any of it. Just not to my taste, and not wowing me enough to impress me in spite of that. I am far from the woman she's designing for, though.
I liked very little of Althea's. It was all fine, I guess, but not at all exciting. I did like the tan pants, but I had tan silk pants very much like that in the 90s.
I dislike Irina immensely. I think she's the sort of artist I've worked with, in multiple genres, who I want to strangle within five minutes.
But her collection rocked. It was cohesive, it was sharp, and the work on the back of the jackets was, like, whoa. I thought the helmets didn't work for every piece, and the call to take some of them off for the final parade was a good one. On the whole -- paining me to say as it does -- Irina not only deserved the win, but I'd hold it up with among the better final collections in the history of this show. (Which, admittedly, considering how many final collections have been disappointments, is damning with faint praise.)
Irina's was a little too black for me, and the headgear was nuts. Who wears that?!
Oh, come now, fashion isn't about what people actually wear.
ITA, ita.
Her collection, other than color, was the most runway. Good accessories and a very defined look. I did like the detail work ita mentioned on the back of many of the pieces. The fur vest though - blech.
Irina herself, oy...she bugs the heck out of me. Even after seeing the runway show I still wanted "anyone but Irina". I still hold a grudge for her being so eye rolly to Tim. Do not disrespect Mr. Gunn.
