  1. I have to admit I don't love Christian as a designer. His individual looks all point to different designers. I could never peg a red carpet dress as being 'his', like I often can with other major designers. Not sure what his actual design identity is. That said, I love his personality and I am surprised how much I love him as mentor for this show! He's funny, a bit acerbic, smart and VERY entertaining. I look forward to him visiting the workroom each episode! (Probably more than I did with Tim Gunn, shhhhh!)
  2. I only really liked (LIKED, not loved) one piece from each collection: Nancy's tailored suit, Sergio's last dress (although it's a bit cliche, and I thought the fringe he used for everything looked so cheap, ugh); for Victoria it was the pink shirt with embroidery that was under the tan jacket (not so inspiring to only like ONE SINGLE piece in a mini-collection full of separates!); for Geoffrey actually I'm not sure, but I appreciated the difficult construction of the giant jackets - I kinda liked the giant balloon-y black one that Christian tried on in an 'it's fun to look at' way - definitely avant-garde although not exactly the newest concept either. They all seemed to have worked really hard yet I found it altogether disappointing. If I were to hazard a guess, I think Nancy's theme, inclusivity and sustainability will put her on top . . .
  3. I was actually a little disappointed in a lot of the results, despite the fact that I was liking everyone's original prints and how effortlessly they were made (chalk drawings, simple computer aided sketches, paintings.) I am again annoyed by the 'team' aspect, I think the Scottish girl is getting a bit of a bad hand dealt to her with her partner, the ex-Marine who takes over every challenge so their finished looks reflect him and not her. That said, she could be a bit more obstinate about it, but then they risk not coming together and finishing. Did NOT like the winning looks, just a lot of volume, and the tulle didn't work for me. I felt like Prabal Gurung was sold on the story and not the garments themselves. If these had been created by any other team, minus the story, I doubt they would have won. I feel the winner should be based on the look alone. Kinda soured this show for me (but I'll keep watching!)
  4. How does Alexa Chung stand up on those tiny pins? I like her as a host, though. I don't think it's fair either, unless they shake up the pairs for every challenge. I did think they got the winning dress right this week.
