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.

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.

I hate to agree with Kenley, but the pocket square was a total no go as well.

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.

she is so talented. it must be so frustrating to never quite get there. But, when she gets to Bryant Park, I think that she'll have the most solid collection as a whole, whereas others will have ups and downs.

I really hope so!

I would buy Korto's jacket in a heartbeat! See, Joe, you can make a suit look interesting if you think outside of the corporate-look box.

When she was initially putting the outfit together, I could not see the fabric for that jacket working with the bright green print of the dress, but it ended up being so well-fitted that it was definitely the best of the bunch. And the design was really great, with the piping providing real dramatic interest.
