Okay, that dress of Amy's was just stupid. What the hell?
Seth Aaron is my favorite. I like Maya, but Seth Aaron's stuff is maybe more me? Not that I would wear some of it, but I like his sensibility.
In distracting news, he really reminds me of Julian MacMahon, rocker-style.
Le Nubian - that's too bad. And of course, I'm sad that my top three won't happen. I wonder what happened.
Like everyone else it seems, I thought it was time for Anthony to go, but I will miss that little peanut. The workroom will be a much quieter place now that he's gone.
I hated Emilio's print, but then again, I hate wearing any garment with the designers name plastered all over it, even if it's the Chanel double C. I don't want to be your walkng billboard, thank you very much. I did love the cut of the dress. And the jacket. The jacket was fierce. I always want to like Maya's work more than I end up liking it. The print was very beautiful, and I can see what she was going for with the collar, but it was a little much for me. I also thought the length was weird, and straight on, I didn't enjoy the pleated black center. Seth Aaron was by far my favorite, as he is almost every week. The print was sassy and while I, myself, wouldn't wear any of that, and certainly not together, I loved the look and thought on some other woman it would be stunning. Mila's look was awful. That print was just all over bad. And the dress was just boring and stiff, although I did like the way the straps were done in the back. I didn't think Jonathan's print was nearly as bad as the judges made it out to be. It was actually kind of pretty. The dress itself was just so sad. And the coat, well, I think disco straight jacket kind of sums it up.

Yes, that is exactly how I feel about it.
It occurred to me later, the disco straitjacket needed a lot more disco. If it had been just covered in shiny at least it would have been an interesting kind of bad.
I didn't think Jonathan's print was all that bad, but the disco straight jacket was pure unadulterated AWFUL. I'm also not sure how "working only in shades of pale, paler, and palest" equals "risk-taker" but whatever.
Why on earth didn't Mila just cut a quick slit up the side of her dress after the fitting so her model could walk? Just cut alongside one of the vertical stripes and hem it while the model was in hair & makeup.

Yeah, when I said they were harsh on Jonathan, I was only referring to the print, not the jacket.

True, but it was still awful. Mexican serape gay flag wasn't far off. But it mostly looked like she had a Scarlett moment and made a dress out of an L.L. Bean Hudson Bay blanket.
The thing about Mila's dress, she didn't seem to see that there was a problem, when she was fitting or even on the runway - she said something about the model hiking up the dress like the model was the problem. Could be editing, of course, but still. Not putting in a slit or shortening the skirt or *something* after the fitting tells me she just didn't see the problem. She had her vision and that was that.
The model couldn't walk in it very well when she tried it on in the workroom. Mila saw that and did nothing.
I read Tim Gunn's and he was mystified about why the judges liked Emilio's and he thought Maya should have won.
also he was glad Jonathon stood up for himself. Not to mention being preplexed by Mila's dress.
Personally I don't think Mila really *saw* that her model was having a problem. At least from the editing it looked like she was so enamored by her creation she couldn't see the flaws.
It bugged me that Mila called him "TG," too. Don't disrespect Tim Gunn, dude!
