ANTM: Thank you, meara, for the red triangle description because I figured out what it reminded me of: Dilbert's pointy triangle haired boss lady! Um, fierce? Hated it. Also hated Clark, which i think is mostly her fault for making such a pinchy face in her picture. There was much to laugh at in this episode... I love when they have to act really excited to go to Wal-Mart. At least Hannah finally found something that they probably DO have in Alaska.
Runway: I guess I understand that a suit isn't the only option for professional wear, especially for a graphic designer, but it seemed kind of ridiculous to me how easily the judges dismissed the suit concept. Yes, Joe's suit made his client look like Tweedledee. But we don't all work in the fashion industry, and unless I'm hopelessly out of touch a suit is still the interview fallback.
Suede has to be a goner at this point, right? The Selena reference was great. I was thinking Christina Applegate in "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead."
Well, Joe was making an outfit for a client in graphic design. I don't think that a standard suit was appropriate - something suit-inspired but less conservative. (I love that Joe commented on how he was going to use this opportunity to show how well he can tailor.)

she looked horrible. Aside from being inappropriate, it fit badly. That blouse was horrible, and lining the jacket with an irridescent fabric (that didn't seem to match anything else) didn't help. To me, graphic designer says bold prints and architectural details, not pinstripes. I hate to agree with Kenley, but the pocket square was a total no go as well.

Suede's "Pucci" print would have been awesome on Joe's client.

I would have done a pinstripe jacket with some kind of cool, modern twist, a brightly colored top and then a skirt/pant/jean that was not in the pinstripe fabric.
There's no reason for a pocket square unless you're Diane Keaton starring in Baby Boom 2: Grandchild Boogaloo.
ETA: In fact, I have done that outfit myself for meetings. Only with a bright shoe instead of a bright top. (hee)
Yes, I think Kristen's way is the way to go.
I see a graphic designer as likely to go more minimal than not.

yes! And, if nothing else, very put together. My graphic designer friend with amazing taste often does something chic office traditional with like a fun vintage piece. Never anything fussy.

Well I think it was Jerrell who first pointed out the total ridiculousness of the pocket square.
I'm over sticking up for Kenley. She was ass this challenge. As was Leanne in the beginning with her "I don't want to make an outfit for an old lady." FUCK YOU LEANNE! And that jacket was the total Squat Maker.

yes, she's one of those designers that doesn't want to work outside of traditional shapes. She would have made a derogatory comment about a large size challenge, I'm sure.

Oh, definitely.
In comparison, I love the way Korto works.
