Okay, I think I just broke up with PR. I do not get it.
Luckily, I think I was spoiled for this last week, so I have gone through my stages of grief prior to watching this episode. I would have been losing my shit right now otherwise.
Holy god Nina, it's not "orientalist" when it's done by an Asian designer. I mean, what the fuck??
right?
Halfway through, when I realized they actually LIKED Gretchen's collection, I started to drink heavily.
Metaphorically, anyway.
It was fun to watch Heidi and Michael go at it, though.
did you all see Tim Gunn's reaction. I think he was saying WTF along with us.
Bah.
It's funny, when they describe Gretchen's clothes - easy sexiness and Boho and earthy - that's totally my kind of clothes. But when I look at them, I don't like them at all. Don't like the palette and generally don't like the cuts.
I don't like the outcome, but I did enjoy the judges wrangling.
It's striking to me that Heidi likes that polka dot dress so much when it's so not a typical Heidi dress.
Orientalism, Nina? Seriously?
did you all see Tim Gunn's reaction. I think he was saying WTF along with us.
Ha! You're not wrong.
Holy god Nina, it's not "orientalist" when it's done by an Asian designer. I mean, what the fuck??
!
I think I'm glad I'm not watching this season.
This was a bad ending. I do not understand what drugs Kors and Garcia were taking.
What I don't get is that what they have previously complained about in designers in seasons past they praised the winner for this time around.
I don't get it.
from a comment on Twop:
That was as much about damage control as it was about fashion. Running Through Thunder indeed. I hadn’t planned to watch but my friend came by and insisted. She works as a crisis management specialist. Once we saw the mini-reunion before Fashion Week and the content thereof, she turned to me and said, “Oh shit. This means Gretchen wins. Damn.”
I think I can't see past the repetitive prints and what I think is a really muddy, sad palette to the shapes and the movement in her clothes.
I don't think I've really loved anything she's produced the entire season, and ITA on this take on her final collection. Just--blah.
At least Mondo's outfits were interesting to see, and if I were twenty years younger and thin, I'd totally buy that tunic dress--it was terrifically fun.
