S18.E10: Live and Let Tie Dye

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Quote

Tie dye is back in a big way, and the designers will need to create their own textiles to elevate the trend from casual to couture; in a twist that may feel more like a trick to the designers, it's an overnight challenge.

Original air date: 2/13/20

I did tie dye stuff in art class at age 13. It was fun not scary. These people are acting like they're doing brain surgery.

[Archer27]

OMG...Victoria telling Delvin to do something different....RICH!

[TexasGal]

Sergio - the judges got your message.  They are not afraid of you.  They are tired of your bs.  

[Archer27]

No, Sergio...judges are not afraid of you. You are full of BS. You are not going to create anything that will change the world. He just cannot contain himself with his self-importance. 

[LennieBriscoe]

That Sergio! What a card!

I made a couple tie-dyed (RIT brand and rubber bands) tee-shirts in my college dormitory bathroom, ca. 1968. They were pretty cool!

I'm almost 56 and I still tie dye!  There are SO many patterns to try.  I'm disappointed in the patterns the experts showed.  Not much variations.  No marbling techniques for example.  Popcorn!  That one is fun, but tedious. 

Also.  On camera they didn't talk about color and how two colors next to each other, can muddy your colors. 

Black is almost impossible to get.  At best it is charcoal.  You're better going with a deep navy 

OMG!  Nancy knows about ice dying!  With dry powders.

I apologize.  It is rare that I know ANY kind of technique on PR.

I'm feeling very expertish!  I probably know more about then Nina Garcia.

While Brittany iis being helpful to others, she is still so darn annoying. 

[Thumper]

I forgot his name, but so far I’m liking the military green outfit by the one guy. (Edit: Geoffrey.)

The skater dress is cute, too.

Segio’s is looking too basic to me.

Let’s see the runway.

I like these designers, but do they not realize they are literally ganging up on Nancy? I hope their Moms are watching (or an older relative/friend that would not approve).

[bencr]

Is there some correlation between sleep deprivation and success as a designer? Otherwise, what is the point of a sleep deprivation challenge? I get that sometimes creative people have to work through exhaustion, but to make that a factor in this competition seems ridiculous.

[TexasGal]

Sergio’s dress is pretty but when you can barely see a pattern does it count as tie dye?

[raven]

Yes, those were Nancy's usual pants but damn her outfit had flair.

These other designs so far seem unimaginative, except Geoffrey's, which is great.

 

[IvyCeltress]

For me tie dye has never gone out of style.  My favorites are Nancy, even though she was a bit annoying, Geoffrey, and Marquise.

Edited February 14, 2020 by IvyCeltress
Damn you auto correct

[raven]

Wow, LOL.  Leslie Jones called Nancy's basic and gushed over Sergio's, which to me, was very basic and not tie dye.

Thank you Elaine for praising Nancy's look!

[Thumper]

I like the softness and flowingness (word? lol) of Nancy’s, too.

[dosodog]

Overall, I'm not impressed with the color usage and saturation.  I think it should have been 2 days to allow the dye and fabric to cure for 24 hours.  It could be the dyes that they used.  

Nancy-She knew what she was doing.  Really good grid pattern.  Pretty outfit.

Sergio-Pretty dress.  Where was the color?  I saw a faint yellow around the hem?  Okay. Got up close, hombre. 

Victoria-Her colors were good.....I think her design ruined whatever pattern she had going.  Did she really insult Marques?  What!!!

Marques-I found it boring.  Too washed out?  Perhaps it goes back to lack of curing?  He was happy with his colors though.

Devlon-Those colors should have been more vibrant.  I made a spiral design tshirt in that exact color pattern.  I think it's the lack of time to let the dye set.

Brittany-Also dull.  Washed out even.

Geoffrey-He had popcorn and watercoloring.  Nice!  Mustache rubber bands are easier to use than zip ties.  

Bastards!  You just insulted my tshirt color.

I love this:

Leslie Jones: "... but Marquis is safe."

Marquis: "Thank you."

[SailorGirl]

If Geoffrey doesnt win this one and Victoria go home, I'm done. 

[Archer27]

Wow...the judges are giving Victoria another pass on any awful design. 

Delvn's is FAR better than Victoria's.....she better go... but I DOUBT she will. 

[SailorGirl]

Oh, and Leslie Jones needs to be a permanent judge. Her snark is on point. The "yeah. And Marquise is safe" comment was perfect. 

[raven]

Geoffrey's is miles above Sergio.  Come on judges.

Delvin is gone.  They won't get rid of Victoria.

My guess for final 3 is Victoria, Sergio and hopefully Geoffrey.

[WaltersHair]

Geoffrey will cry alot if he wins. Being sleep deprived will do that.

Victoria, that ruffled thing is called a valance circa 1975

[Rhetorica]

I liked Nancy's, loved Geoffrey's! Sergio reminds me of an awkward little boy who is so socially unaware. Victoria need to go!

 

[Archer27]

Victoria's design is AWFUL.

[TexasGal]

Was Delvin wearing the onesie during judging?  If so, how did I miss that?

Yes! Leslie Jones and Laverne Cox -- that would be amazing.

[Thumper]

So would Sergio’s design be another “back to the ‘50’s” design?  😁😁. It was pretty but not enough (or maybe visible enough) tie-dye, IMO.  I’m not a fan of godets.

Edited February 14, 2020 by Thumper

[Archer27]

Ugh...as I am watching the end, I feel that Delvin is going. 

[raven]

Yay!  Geoffrey!

Nina watching Leslie Jones hug Geoffrey - she has a poker face.  I always wonder what is Nina really thinking, lol.

[Archer27]

YEAH, Geoffrey! I love him.

[chitowngirl]

I forgot this was a flash sale-Geoffrey’s is perfect for that! And a perfect dress too!!

Of course Victoria’s safe 🙄

Edited February 14, 2020 by chitowngirl

[Thumper]

Ack!  Victoria should be going!!!!!!!!!! 

[Rhetorica]

WTF?????

[IvyCeltress]

Noooooo!

[raven]

See, now I feel badly for Delvin.  He looked so sad.

 

[Archer27]

OMG...I hate that I was right. Overall, Delvin is A MUCH BETTER designer than Victoria. What am I missing?

[WaltersHair]

I feel like Victoria is the Emperor's new clothes and the judges are the blind people. If this was Woodstock, they'd make an announcement "There is some bad heroi-er- judging going on. Do not take any of it."

[kanona29]

This is a damn tragedy. Anyone wearing Victoria's outfit would be a laughing embarrassment walking down the street.  

[ArtFossil]

I hate this season. I hate Victoria. I (now)hate this show. 

[CherryMalotte]

I freaking love tie dye - this really makes me want to do a shirt soon.

So glad it's Geoffrey for the win here, it's a simple dress in a way but so well executed and still very different with the dye pattern.  Beautiful!  And Leslie is right, you can adjust that dress design for a lot of different sized women and it will look fab.

I would so like Sergio more if he would keep his mouth shut - he's probably much better IRL.  We are getting the editing monkey sound bites but he's got to be shoveling the raw material right in front of them.

Guess I'm not surprised to see Delvin go - everyone on there remarked on what a great tailor he was but that doesn't make a great designer.  I'll have to go over his earlier designs for the show...I'm just not seeing it.

Leslie can be a bit much at times but I do think it was sweet of her to give Geoffrey a hug and reassure him.  

 

 

[Archer27]

As per Victoria's....who the heck will look good with a denim diaper (as Brandon said)? No one. Not one woman or man would like their rear to look like a load of poop. And her shirts (over and under) were ugly. Sorry that I am repeating my hating so much on her design. 

[BusyOctober]

Leslie Jones needs to be back every week.

Victoria’s disaster was bad enough from the front, but when the model went back down the runway and that fluttering non cape thing had its full moment...wow.  That looked like one of my Nana’s 1970’s housecoat pinned on the shoulders.  It just did not make sense in any way shape or form.  Then we get to the “denim diaper” which is what I called Victoria’s workroom attire...I actually said out loud to no one “Is she wearing a denim diaper-thong?” Victoria’s entire outfit had no business ever being stitched together.  An abomination.  As is her shittty attitude and stank face during judges critique.  I do not understand how that was kept over Delvin’s.  His was not great, but it wasn’t the level of craptastic of Victoria’s.

Sergio’s was pretty but I couldn’t see the tie dye.  

Woo for Geoffrey!!! Final 4 for sure.
 

 

 

[QQQQ]

Does Victoria have kompromat on the judges? Is she holding their pets hostage in the Mood storage room? Those are the only scenarios in which tonight's decision makes sense. And even then... just no.

I think most people will agree that Victoria's look was the worst. But at least there was an attempt at a different design element in her look. The worst thing you can do on PR is offer nothing new for the judges to react to -- favorably or unfavorably.

Edited February 14, 2020 by bencr

[charming]

Noooooooooooooo! As the episode went on you could tell that Dr. Couture and Victoria were going to be on the bottom. Delvin got too much screentime and I knew the judges would never eliminate their favorite Victoria. I was hoping there would be a tie and they could both be safe. Ugh. 

You realize how young Delvin is as he's looking adorable in his onesie. He took his elimination like a champ. I wish there was an All Star show he could go on. 

[Nordly Beaumont]

I loved how the two models reacted to Leslie's unbridled enthusiasm! Adorable!

I knew they'd keep Victoria when they asked "who do we want to see a full collection from?" -  Delvin just doesn't bring anything interesting. I love the guy, but his design skills just aren't there.

LOVED Elaine's bright green eyeliner!

[estellasmum]

Delvin: No way I can sleep in the workroom.

Editing: Multiple cuts to him sleeping in the workroom.

Marquis: They haven't seen girly girl from me <shows sketch>

Editing: Shows 2 of his previous outfits that kind of look like that. 

Me: <Dying at editing this week>

Seriously, what does Victoria have on the judges? She sent total crap down the runway.
