Wait'll you see the 2nd pic...

I have to believe that the white peeking out of the panty in the top pic, left, is a whoops? How could that be though? I don't get it.

Ooh, I like! These are better greens, at least maybe more current?, but yeah, I get your point.

You are not wrong!

The garment is similar due to color, concept, and tux-ishness. I don't think anyone would have had as much if any issue with it had he not tried to A) act like he wasn't aware of the Celine garment, & B) feign the attachment of some social hot button. He's an extremely talented fraud. ymmv Also - I liked his garment.

I actually had a pattern (Butterick I think) in the early 80's like this, and sewed several pair of shorts. Never made the long pants.

If he was talking about the later years, I get it, though it seems most designers reach a point of sellout. Izaac, MK, Lauren... I suppose if someone dropped a semi trailer of cash in my driveway, my head would be turned also.

I'm old enough to remember having a buttonhole foot on a sewing machine that could be changed out as needed. I realize that machines have probably evolved eons since I had my little Sears Kenmore model, lol.

I know this makes for a long post, but I like having these here to reference when we're discussing the designs. Hope it's okay.

Had they done that though, someone would have had to be excluded. Who would they choose, fairly?

Marquise's design was very good, probably deserving of the win, though I felt the skirt was underdesigned. I agree with judge Thom that it should have been pleated, at least partially. Sergio is the most talented designer on this cast, albeit the most socially ignorant, and perhaps the biggest liar. I did not think his garment was a blatant rip-off, but an "inspired by" transformation. I am old enough to remember the Celine tux, and if I'm remembering correctly, it was heavily panned by critics and armchair critics. As I look at it now, I kind of like it while not being forever transformed as Brandon claimed to be by it. I liked Geoffrey's look, but not as much as some. The judges were trying too hard to find fault with it, so obsessed about the bow tie, which seemed silly to me. I would have placed it third. I would really like to see him try to get through a talking head session without whimpering. Ironically, Veronica was right about Nancy and her voluminous pants; they are redundant. I didn't dislike her look, but it didn't seem to quite meet the challenge. Am I the only one that wants to undo that crazy lady updo of hers? She seems to have figuratively let her hair down, maybe it's time to literally do it. Victoria seems to think that all garments must ooze sex appeal. Many successful designers/companies have come before her, so I guess it's possible to be one note. As usual, I was not nearly as enamored of her design as was the judging panel. Yawn. Delvin's "tux" looked like a really bad inhabitant of an old Robert Hall store (yes, I'm that old), reconfigured like the Goodwill challenge. Bad design, constructed with bad components in a bad color. I'm with those here who believe his snarking has gone from amusing to uncalled for. I honestly can't recall as I write this, anything he's made prior to this. That's a bad sign Delvin. Oh Brittany. I can't possibly contribute to the previous criticisms nor that of the judges. Be damn grateful that CS had a save to give your ass. Now go earn it. *afterthought - can we please stop with the ankle and above pant length? Pleeeease!!?? Aah, I see. Guess I wasn't paying attention, lol. Thanks, I do feel better about it now.

Sort of makes sense, considering he's self-taught. I would imagine that design schools have an illustrating curriculum?

I sort of agree with this. If the goal is to highlight the model's curves, then mission accomplished. If the goal is to highlight the well-constructed and designed garment, nah. ...it was a blatant lie.

She would have had to design with cat litter to not win over theirs.

I hated that there was one more 'former' than there is 'current'. That young lady shouldn't have been left to stand on that stage, unpicked. Awful.

I can't decide which I like least; the character or the actor

It's Daily Mail, so pardon the noise. I dont know if the celebs pictured are all wearing CS, but the runway shots are shown later in the story. Christian Siriano's NYFW show - Heidi-Klum-suits-Alicia-Silverstone-wears-gray-Christian-Siriano-NYFW

Wow, I never thought about the timing of these things. Talk about stressful!

Agree!

You may be right. We'll see.

Good point.

Not sure I've ever used the word "pool" when describing something I would wear over a swimsuit. I would call it a bathing or swimsuit cover or cover up. Now maybe that's a regional thing? I can't imagine a model actually confusing the two, but there it is, on tape.

Earlier this week, Denise posted on her Instagram a request for help in writing a tagline (as if), stating that no, she wasn't quitting. Vile Brandi with an 'i', in true form, posted this:
