S18.E07: Project Runway x Ashley Longshore

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Quote

Collaborations between fashion designers and artists are all the rage; the designers get a chance to enter into one with painter Ashley Longshore whose outrageous pop art gives the runway some of the boldest looks of the season.

Original air date: 1/23/20

[LennieBriscoe]

Please, fashion gods, do not let Nancy's fabric win.

[Thumper]

I have never heard of this person — not that it means anything!  lol

Hoping for “I never work with prints” Victoria to not win.

[Straycat80]

Dayoung is sick  again? Or has she been sick since the beginning? Maybe she better go to a doctor. 
Never heard of this artist but Victoria has not made a good impression by hating on the print. The judges will probably like whatever she does anyway.

So far this season, I think Cyndi Lauper is the only one I have heard of.  lol

[Archer27]

I love prints, but not any of these. 

[SuprSuprElevated]

Dayoung needs an iron infusion.  s.t.a.t.

[WaltersHair]

Does the world really need a pink dildo fabric?

[Ashforth]

No matter what happens, I will always love Nancy for giving us the moniker "dildo pants"!

 

[Mindthinkr]

I wouldn’t wear any of those fabrics. I don’t think that they are suited to petite or larger women. On a pin thin model you couldn’t really make the print out so...

[nb360]

Curiously, I think these prints would have been great for the Cyndi Lauper challenge...

[raven]

Random thoughts - Ashley does seem fun and I like seeing COLOR

Geoffrey is very sweet to be so concerned about Dayoung

I really like Delvin - please stay around for the facial expressions and snark!

Victoria with damn cut outs AGAIN wtf

Sergio is pretentious; Chelsey trying to ignore him while getting help from Delvin was too funny

oh shit Delvin did make pajamas! fix that!

[Ladyrain]

Dayoung is pale as a ghost.   Something must be wrong besides fatigue. 

Please baby jesus let Sergio's design be one hot mess.   Pleeeeeeze.   I can't wait for him to go.

[Ladyrain]

Did Victoria just say that she's worried her piece doesn't have enough color????   She fought having color through the whole episode ...   and now she's worried?!   I'm ready for her to go to, and she didn't really bug be until tonight.

[Archer27]

I love Nancy's and Dayoung's looks.

[Emmeline]

I hate to say this but, Sergio’s dress was really good.  So glad Geoffrey is safe.  I was afraid for him.  Victoria did indeed miss the mark on this one.

[Ladyrain]

Damn.   Damn that Sergio.   Please at least don't let him win!!!!!!!!!!

[nb360]

Oh, Sergio's face when he realized he's safe...😎

[chitowngirl]

They couldn’t have telegraphed the safe designers more by the lack of airtime they got.

[raven]

Sergio is dying because he's safe.

I liked Marquise's except for that top, it's not good.  I'm afraid he'll be gone because no way they get rid of Victoria.

I don't like Delvin's but am glad the judges do because I like him, heh.

[raven]

LOL at Brandon saying "what is flood my basement" haha. 

[chitowngirl]

I’m not familiar with the artist but I love her!!!

I agree about Marquise. 😞

[Straycat80]

Sergio thought he would win. Nope, just safe. I’m glad they like Delvan’s design, I like him and I don’t mind the white coat he wears, it looks professional and clean. 
I like Marquise too but the poorly sewn top is going to knock him down. 
Nancy’s is cute but judges are right, it’s huge on the model. 
Brittany’s is cute too, hope she wins.

I'm afraid he's gone because he didn't "celebrate the print" too.  I obviously know nothing about fashion but I really liked his except for the top.

I liked how Brittany made the butterflies 3D but I hate the asymmetry.  

[WaltersHair]

The asymmetry is killing me this season. Just no. And Tumblr hashtags? Nina, where is your infamous 'taste problem?'

If Victoria hadn't been on the bottom, I would have said the fix was in. Same. Look. Every. Week.

I love Delvin. That is all.

[chitowngirl]

I’m glad Brandon dinged on Victoria for her same silhouette. Really Nina? You didn’t know that was Victoria's design??

Wow-wouldn’t want to meet mad Victoria in a dark alley!

i loved Christian’s runway day shirt!

 

Edited January 24, 2020 by chitowngirl

[Archer27]

I hope Nancy stays!

[Straycat80]

Brandon, give your glasses to Nina, she’s the blind one. Didn’t know that was Victoria’s same old design she’s been sending down the runway since day one.

[Ladyrain]

I hated how Victoria swatted Dayoung away, who was just trying to comfort her.

[Archer27]

While Victoria is in, she remains a sore loser. 

[SailorGirl]

I feel the Siriano save coming on for Marquis . . .

well, crap. 

Edited January 24, 2020 by SailorGirl

[raven]

Aw, Marquise 😞  He has a lot of potential.  I hope for good things for him.

[Ellaria]

I’m glad that Dayoung appreciates Victoria but I don’t. She is a pill when things don’t go her way. 

Brittany annoys me. She has talent but not as much as she thinks she does. Sergio’s disappointment with being safe was hilarious.

And please...can all of them stop with the asymmetrical hems and sleeves? Every challenge!

Delvin is my favorite - his designs and his personality. Perhaps he can be on future seasons as a narrator with behind-the-scenes snark. Sorry that he wasn’t the winner this week.

Also sorry to see Marquis leave. It was probably deserved but still. He departed as a gentleman. He should be proud.

Edited January 24, 2020 by Ellaria Sand

[MerBearStare]

Victoria continues to annoy me. The first time she's been in the bottom after weeks of being in the top, if not the winner, and she has a fucking tantrum about it. 

Brittany annoys me too, but her outfit really was the best. 

I know Brandon is controversial, but I love him. I didn't care for Dayoung's outfit either and I loved the look he gave Nina when she said she didn't realize which outfit was Victoria's. "You didn't realize the white bandage top was Victoria's?" (Or whatever the exact wording was.)

I'm glad Nancy was safe. She's probably my favorite. But Karlie didn't seem too happy about saying that she was safe. I am sad to see Marquis go, though. 

[Ladyrain]

Was Victoria the only one who didn't hug Marquis?   Too busy feeling bitter about being chastised.   And what??  Dayoung has another medical thing next week?   This is not good.  

[Straycat80]

I’m glad Nancy is safe but I feel bad for Marquise. I liked him. Too bad they didn’t send ‘don’t hug me’ Victoria home. She was really a jerk. 
I’m glad Brittany won, Delvan and Dayoung’s were good too. I got to give Dayoung props for working while ill. Hope she hangs in there but is careful with her health. A competition is not worth landing in the hospital.

I mean, yeah! She made a straight up conscious decision to use very little color and print. Her whining, bitching, and crying after she finished was bullshit. And I think her true colors came out tonight.

[Ladyrain]

It really speaks volumes that Marquis went out so graciously, while Victoria pouted in the corner, while still in the competition. 

[LizDC]

Maybe Marquis can

Spoiler

come back if Victoria pitches a fit and leaves and Dayoung is too sick to continue.

I was really expecting to hear some bitching from him about it.

OMG his face was killing me during the Chelsey/Sergio discussion.  For a second I thought he was going to walk backwards away from the situation.

I’m so soo SOOOOO glad Brandon called out Nina pretending not to know that was Victoria.  And for his lightbulb going off that it’s always the same look.

That was hilarious.  I knew Nancy had to be safe after that ringing endorsement.

Yup!!!  And, what was that piece of paper in his pocket?  Was it more of his political statement arguments, just in case he was in te bottom?  

I hate to admit this, but I thought his dress was very, very good.

But, what was his political statement this week?  Something about transgender people breaking out of their cocoons?  

If that's the case that he's feeling strongly about, why doesn't Sergio ever pick the nonbinary model (I'm sorry - I hope that is the correct term)?

I'll never blame someone for not hugging someone else or not wanting to be hugged. I don't like people touching me and I don't like to touch other people like that. Hugging is uncomfortable and weird and creeps me out. However Victoria was just snotty. You can express regret that someone's leaving without hugging them. You can shake hands; you can wish them well, or you could run off and pout in a corner because you weren't the prettiest girl at the prom. She did the latter.

I love Delvin's loathing of Sergio.

Dayoung needs to get healthy.  Without more information I'm not able to diagnose her with my WebMD degree, but it seems to me she might have some sort of lingering illness or virus. I feel really terrible for her because they think she has a lot of talent.

Surprised that Brandon is really quite proper and seemed embarassed by the bawdy jokes!

I'm not either, but she had a wonderful, upbeat personality and her judging skills were amazing - critical but constructive and positive.  

I'd like to meet her in person!  

[WaltersHair]

I'd bet my rhinestone belt that a little 'birdie' producer told the judges that Serigio was going to get all political again. Safe mean no talking at all. And, as Miss Coco Peru says "A part of me enjoyed that a little bit."

Speaking of birdies. I think Christian has his heart in the right place and really wants to help the designers. Delvin listened and damn near won. But he's doing the Tom Colicchio 'sniff and sneer' instead of Tim Gunn's gentle but firm prodding. All the designers stiffen up when he enters instead of fighting for his advice. Truthfully, I disliked Christian during his season, but I like him in this role. He just needs to roll it back a bit.

Actually, the one that Victoria chose wasn't too bad.  I could see a beautiful cruisewear type maxi-dress or palazzo pants outfit with that.

I have to admit that Delvin is definitely growing on me.  I didn't like him the first few episodes but he's showing more of his personality, and getting to know him, I'm liking him more and more each week.  Plus, I love the shade he's throwing at Sergio.

[StillHere]

I said it before and I’ll say it again. These folks are straight-up fools for keep helping Daeyoung while she kicks their ass. This ain’t no damn commune.

And I don’t blame Victoria for not wanting to be comforted and prodded after the runway. For all we know, it was just sinking in what a simp she was. Meanwhile Daeyoung’s will-she-won’t-she acts continues ...

Believe it or not, I'm like that too.   But Dayoung seems like such a gentle soul and  she was completely rebuffed by Victoria's snotty wave off of the hug.   She could have reached out, clasped Dayoung's hand, or something vaguely gracious, but she did not do that.   But I hear what you're saying about personal space.
