I've always hated how they have done this "mini collection" 2 days before the big show. What a way to cut all of them off at the knees. Just let them have the time to work on the collections with input from Tim instead. There's no way to fix 10 looks in two days, especially if they hate what you're doing.
Edmond: Conservative glamour from the south. I think when he left New York, his southern environment made him become too conservative and inhibited. His would be the easiest to fix in 2 days, just plunge the necklines and make some skin show on the backs of the dresses. He's got a chance to win.
Candice: I said "McQueen" as soon as she started showing Tim the looks at her studio. I like the clothes, hate the styling of their heads. With such a harsh look, the women need to look more feminine and soft, not so hard, the clothes are already hard, but nicely made and very memorable. The judges are way off the mark.
Kelly: It's a taste issue. If you gave her a choice of vinyl or leather, she'd pick vinyl. Mink or rabbit? She'll pick rabbit. and so on. Bad color choices. Bad fabric choices. Bad styling for Fashion Week. Some of the outfits are definitely WTF pieces. What happened to the stuff she was showing for the wins in the past? Where did that Kelly go?
Ashley: No, no, no.... Just. Plain. Bad. If you want to make plus size clothes, fine, but why make plus size women look horrible? They don't need more issues. The headdress "crowns" look like something you'd leave near a gravestone. The zippers... my god, the zippers... Does she know how to actually sew them INTO a garment instead of on the outside? The fabrics look like bad dye jobs left in the sun too long. Sad colors, Sad styling, Sad clothing... What a sad, sad collection. But what I don't understand is how the Idiot Panel keeps coddling her so she somehow gets the idea that this crap is good!?!? Are they afraid of her tears? Seriously, she'd be laughed out of any show if this was truly Reality TV.
