PR: I love this challenge. I don't love the team aspect, but I always like it when they send the designers out to the streets, and sending them to different neighborhoods was a great idea.

Because books.
It was so much fun to get a real NYC challenge. And the neighborhoods they chose were good ones.

Got no complaints about the judging, either.

Oh, not at all. In fact, I really loved the winners, even if the nighttime look could have been a long gown, imo.

I really liked all of the top 4 looks, and having a cohesive look really put the winners over the top. And everything the judges had to say about the bottom four was right on.

Absolutely. And you're right -- the top two teams definitely had looks that related to each other beautifully.
I'm very psyched to hear Michael Kors say "disco straightjacket" next week, too.

Oh, yes. That'll be a treat.

Oh, Amy, me too! I can't wait to see what inspires that comment.

I thought that the Mila's look was not very evening at all. It was a good look but far too casual. I don't know if they were trying to make a statement about the east village with the casualness of the outfit or what.
I continue to love Anthony beyond reason. His comment about the ducks was priceless! I also like that he is really learning and growing.
I liked Emilio's dress, but it needed some quality time with the steamer. I was surprised by how well they worked together. I thought that two really strong personalites such as they have would have clashed, but they made it work.
I thought that Jay should have gone home. I didn't hear the dreaded "poor construction", but "ill fitting" and "unflattering" were thrown around a lot. Those pants weren't cool, they were atrocious. No woman wants to wear peplums on her thighs.
I didn't love Amy's "upper east side" look. It didn't really fit the challenge, which is probably what sealed the deal. It was also way too casual of a look. If she had made it a dress and accessorized it with cute heels and a good bag, she might have gotten away with it.

Yeah, I think so. Guest judge even tried to make the imperfections of Jay's outfit a stylistic choice. That could be what saved him!
We didn't see them ask Amy and Jonathan how they worked together, did we? I liked Jay's answer.
