Yeah, they never really explained what was good about Jerrel's outfit. I kind of loved it, from what I saw, but I have no memory of what sign it was meant to represent.
God that was a stupid challenge.

I read tim's take, and even he didn't explain what was good about it, just a description --
Jerell WINS! He is teamed with Jennifer and what a dynamic duo they were with Sagittarius as their point of departure. I applaud risk-taking and this design was risky: an exaggerated brown houndstooth check high-waisted pencil skirt with a hip treatment that was like a deflated pannier, a gold chain-mail camisole, and a space-dyed shrunken jacket with a cacophony of trims. This look could have been a riotous disaster, and in less talented hands it would have been, but they made it work. Congratulations, Jerell!
I guess the former designers picked the winner, then the judges took the bottom 4 designs and picked the loser. Since the judges didn't discuss the winner, we didn't see it.

I need to see pictures again.
I was v. surprised at Jerrell's win - I thought that Leeanne or Kotto had don a better job of envisioning the sign.
I was surprised that Terri was gone so quickly. That must have been what Tim was talking about and she never did get a win - which is a shame. She really should have put Keith to use but I think she didn't have any idea what his strengths were and given that she had regularly been pulling off multi-piece outfits she probably thought she was okay.

I think that Korto is going to go postal. She has been a runner up in most of the challenges, but has never won. I'm going to start calling her Susan Lucci.

I thought she did win - didn't she win the Olympics Challenge?

You know, looking at it again, it does seem very Diana the Huntress, which makes sense. However, it still doesn't seem particularly avant garde.

Also, I don't know what counts as Avant-Garde in fashion now.

Neither did most of the designers, I think.
