I don't know if they were trying to make a statement about the east village with the casualness of the outfit or what.
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.
Perhaps what ultimately saved Jay was that if the outfit had been made well, they would have liked it; whereas Amy's outfit was made well (or at least not badly) and they didn't like it. Also, I think that choosing upper east side was dangerous, because that's probably where the judges live, so they have a very particular idea of what's appropriate for their neighborhood.
I loved this challenge. I thought Chinatown as a neighborhood choice was a little odd, just because it doesn't have a distinct fashion when the three others really do; however, it was probably the easiest neighborhood to tour and get a sense of in 30 minutes. I'm glad they did well. I do love that bit with Maya dissing Anthony's fabric and then Tim asking why they weren't using it.
As a former resident of the East Village, I think Mila's outfit was dead on as a higher end EV look. The EV is all about black grunge so, for me, Jay's day look was a bit too colorful. I would have loved to see what Seth Aaron would have done.
That said, his Harlem look was fab. It was nice too see such a functional, successful partnership.
I have no words for the train wreck that was both of the UES looks. I think they had the hardest task because of the size of the neighborhood and it's relative emptiness (you just don't see a lot of people in that neighborhood most of the time, and it's boring compared to the others), but what they produced didn't make sense to me at all.
I do love that bit with Maya dissing Anthony's fabric and then Tim asking why they weren't using it.
Exactly! And everyone praising the jacket to high heaven. Whe she said that she didn't like it, I wondered why, but this demonstrates what we all know - LISTEN TO TIM!
Emilio and Seth Aaron were a great team. I loved it when Emilio told that elderly woman how great she looked and then pointed out to SA that she was rockin' the Harlem jeans aesthetic.
I'm glad they did well. I do love that bit with Maya dissing Anthony's fabric and then Tim asking why they weren't using it.
Yes, that was wonderful!
I thought the ironwork idea that they mentioned when they were walking around the UES was a good one, but that's what they dropped when they realized the evening look was overdesigned, leaving it with no tie to the neighborhood.
Caught the repeat of ANTM. am upset I missed the make-over show. ANDRE!!!!
Dreckitude! Learn it. Live it. Love it. I adored that ALT said he would put that awkward booty shot in his salon. I just want a show about him walking around being fabulous. Why can't we have that instead of High Society?
PR was very satisfying and it does my heart good to see Anthony continue to do well. Seth Aaron is my man, though. The jeans look was fire.
You know what will make AI better for me this season? Going to the performance show this Tuesday? Oh, yeah. What are the chances that I can take Judge #4 out while I'm there?
30 minutes and counting for TAR delay.
Looks like about 50 minutes.
Andy Rooney is particularly head-splodey tonight so I recommend making sure to skip.
