S18.E13 & E14: Finale LIVE CHAT

[Lady of nod]

Geoffrey- please stop crying!

[raven]

Judges were giving constructive criticism and then Brandon swerves to condescending.

[WaltersHair]

What? WHAT?

[raven]

Oh those assholes, I mean, you knew they weren't going to tell us who goes tonight but still!

[Straycat80]

I think all four designer will show at fashion week.

I'm going to guess that "throwing out the rule book" means the collections won't need to be cohesive. Or ...that the designers will be allowed to include outfits from during the season.

Or that the producers were unnecessarily trying to throw in a plot twist.

[FormerMod-a1]

The episode thread is now open.

Sergio's looks are not great. The last dress is really nice, but the first look is Liberace Lingerie.

I was thinking an old fashioned peignoir - like something Carole Lombard may have worn in a 1930's movie, exept just waaaaay more sheer.  

I did like that last dress.

 

[hula-la]

I just realised that there’s a live chat! Grr. I'll be here for next week!

What did Christian say about going to the Oscars? That doesn't overlap fashion week, right?

It totally did, and designers weren’t happy about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/style/will-the-oscars-crush-new-york-fashion-week.html

I really enjoy the rapport they final four have with each other.

[chitowngirl]

Quelle surprise-all 4 are going to show at Fashion Week..

[Nordly Beaumont]

So Sergio doesn't want to pigeon hole himself into just designing for 45 - 60 now. So I guess that whole "bit" was as fake as all his different "political statements" for each garment.

[TexasGal]

What is this Sebastian/Christian/Mulan nonsense?!

[raven]

So...Sebastian designed a dress for Mulan but it's just for the commercial?  About the movie?

With Christian there to talk about it?  That was odd, LOL.

[Straycat80]

Did I miss the seamstress helpers? Usual the losers come in to help.

They haven't had any helpers.  Maybe if they get a surprise extra look added.

[raven]

This is my problem with these 2 parters, seems like we're re-treading last week.  I just want to the see the final shows and who wins.

[Stats Queen]

So I’m about 20 minutes behind and how dare Nancy create clothes that can be worn by anyone (the horrors)

[LennieBriscoe]

If this is the thread to be, there sure aren't many of us stalwarts!

Poor Geoffrey, third- and fourth-guessing himself again.

[raven]

Oh jeez @Straycat80 I forgot about these seamstresses, LOL!

[CraftyHazel]

I’m a big PR fan, but this year’s finalists are all pretty average to me.

[TexasGal]

Watching Geoffrey makes me anxious. 

[chitowngirl]

Has there ever been this much handholding to get them to the runway? How much consulting have they had?? Hair and makeup, I get, but this is the third group to go over the collections!!

[raven]

Uh oh I liked the new dress Victoria created.

I feel like this group NEEDS the hand holding.  Nobody has a clear vision that actually reads well.  There are no Christians, no Sebastians, no Dmitrys here.

[Archer27]

I do not like Victoria's collection. I like Sergio's and Nancy's. Geoffrey - I love him, but am confused by his collection.

[Straycat80]

Don’t they do hair and makeup at the same time? The pacing of this is weird. 

[LennieBriscoe]

I simply do not understand Geoffrey's love of those Michelin Man puffer jackets! 

I think Nancy's top(s) for the pantsuit(s) should be a solid color, not patterned.

Sergio's Navy blue looks black to me. I wish he'd design without social commentary, just once. 

Still predict a Victoria victory.

[Straycat80]

Oh Geoffrey stop crying. I do like how supportive Christian is to the designers. And the designers have been supportive to each other. 

[raven]

Yes, the universe is smarter than you Geoffrey and lost the damn studs!!

Not to mention he was advised to "keep it clean" regarding jewelry and accessories!

[NYGirl]

WTH is Karlie wearing?

Edited March 13, 2020 by NYGirl

[NowVoyager]

5 months to design. 3 different consultations, not counting Christian. The designers were given everything they needed to succeed. Ugh. I have low expectations...

[Archer27]

Gosh, I cannot stand Victoria...

[raven]

Don't like V's neutrals.  The hats could be cute but not with this collection.

WTH is that green apron thing in V's collection??  Ugh, don't like this pink either.

[Archer27]

Do not like her pink dresses

[TexasGal]

Victoria’s new dress is the best thing in her collection.  The look on her plus size model is AWFUL

[raven]

I don't know what to think about Nancy's patterns - sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't.  It doesn't work for every outfit.   The shiny material looks kind of cool.

[BlackberryJam]

This is a slog. I just want to see all the collections and have them name a winner.

[raven]

DD is an awesome model. Damn!

[TexasGal]

I liked Nancy’s a lot.  Very different from what she was doing all season.

(Hi Nancy’s son!  Call me!)

[raven]

Just now, TexasGal said:

(Hi Nancy’s son!  Call me!)

LOL.  I was thinking look at those cheekbones!

[LennieBriscoe]

Nancy's palette was more pleasing and more high-end than Victoria's Lilly Pulitzer pink and green. But I was surprised Nancy used a pattern only in that one outfit---and her own overalls.

[CraftyHazel]

I’m going to be that woman...

I hate Nancy’s collection, and if not for her message and her “inspirational” story of her second career, I don’t think she’d be getting such a big hand.

[Straycat80]

I liked the white dress and the raspberry colored dress in Victoria’s collection. Lots of beige and I didn’t like the chartreuse color or the crochet hats and purse.

Nancy’s was lots of that shimmery liquid looking material. Not sure if I liked that. The one kind of patchy jumpsuit was different and I liked that.

I love Lilly Pulitzer and I wear pink and green together whenever I can, in her honour.

The show just started where I live.  Oh for fuck's sake Geoffrey, STOP CRYING!

 

[Archer27]

Sergio's collection is wonderful. He deserves to win...even though he is smug and arrogant.

[LennieBriscoe]

Well, I still didn't like Victoria's take on the shades!

MY turn: I hated Sergio's collection!

That first look of Sergios, the all white one, looks like an expensive housecoat.
