Tyler’s selling “Dinner with Kushner” t-shirts

He’s not that sorry!

It's not even well designed. the most basic font aligned left like every other tshirt out there. You would think a designer would come up with something slightly more creative. Then again, we saw he isn't very creative at all. 🙄

I watched his after the show thing with Christian (and Uncle Nick Verrios!) and he was not charming, although I suspect he thinks he was. I felt like he did not show Nick any kind of respect or even graciousness, which bugged me. (That may reflect my age/generation.) He just would not relent about the strength of this look. Of all the designs to defend till the end, I can't believe this look inspired that.

I can't quite imagine who'd spend $35 on that. It seems as if he's bent on trying to capitalize on a fame he thinks he has, but I doubt he actually has.

Tyler's look struck me almost as office wear. Like something Miranda Priestly's second assistant would wear.

if she were a 16-year-old intern whose prim mother had selected her outfit.

I recall, in a Tim Gunn interview he stated that they couldn't use double-sided tape, it was rule in the old version of the show. For reasons he said, something about that you can't tell the construction of the garment if it's taped to the body. (True, dat Tim. Don't defend the shoe!)

The rule is evidenced by a "scandal" in Season 8 Episode 11 with Ivy and Michael where she accused him of cheating by using tape.

They must have changed this rule for this new reboot. 

I agree with Tim. It shouldn't be used. Where is the line drawn?

Though from a production standpoint I can see the Show not wanting a boob to fall out or something, it probably makes the models more comfortable. 

I didn't remember double-sided tape being against the rules but I'm thinking maybe they relaxed that rule when they started "taking closer looks" at the garments.  I don't think they've done it yet this season, but when they had the models step off the runway and the judges examined everything up close, it was impossible for designers to hide glaring flaws.  

If Tyler doesn't go somewhere with that tired-ass tshirt...

What a worm.

At this point Tyler's just looking sad.  Not to mention if he truly wanted to be a designer he is losing respect in the industry.

Yeah, the Kushner snark started it, but his aftershow definitely finalized my shift from sort of like to dislike.  Especially in contrast to lovable Nick.  One thing this did make me do is go follow Nick on Twitter, not that I use it much, which either reflects my age or my attention span, or both!

I lounge corrected! 

Lounge...… I love it.   Do you mind if I steal it????

I’m still confused why Tyler’s comment was so insulting. If she’s happy with who she married and the family she married into, why is it a terrible insult to mention going to dinner with them?  Isn’t this common knowledge?

It's been discussed pretty extensively upthread. This article details the abuse that the Kushners heaped on Karlie. They treated her like shit on their shoes:

Quote

Ward writes that she’s heard from multiple sources that the whole family “spoke horribly” about Kloss behind her back, and referred to her as “the lingerie model.” She also writes that “Josh told Gary Cohn and others he was not allowed to bring Kloss to holiday family gatherings. For six years they refused to even meet her.”

That's why it was insulting, and mean, and no way to treat your client who, in this case, is also your boss.

ve never seen such a neat, well organized Goodwill before - the clothes were even sorted by color on some racks! Usually when I go to stores like that, they look like Ross the day after Christmas.

Ha!  I'm a Walmart shopper that has just recently expanded into Ross & TJ Maxx (and, sadly, am amazed at the nicer clothes!)  My fashion sense sux.  I've never been in a Goodwill, though, but I have dropped off a lot of clothes (Mom's, not Walmart stuff) and furniture to them.

With Heidi, it wasn’t just that she liked short dresses. It was that she likes short tight dresses that showed a lot of cleavage and skin and had sequins. Something with a few of those elements can be fine but she clearly wanted ALL of those things together which comes off as a cheap skanky party dress from Wet Seal. 

Haha.  Well, "Seal" practically defines it.  She did love him for some time.  Maybe even still, even if they couldn't make it work together.  Guess U'm a bit of a romantic.  I was sad when they called it off.

So why marry one. Tyler was eliminated because he mentioned her family. I knew from the beginning of the season she had just married into the family.

Or, she married the one guy who was opposite the family.  They're rabid republicans and old school snooty.   He's democrat and the black sheep. Are you judging just on the family name and not on any real information?
