S13 Finale Live Chat

For live discussion during the finale episode. Topic will be closed when the episode ends.

Glad that Kini ripped up the coat.  That was so heavy and overdone.

[Wings]

I wonder how many days they have to make these changes. 

I agree about Kini's coat.  ugh

[LizBug]

Sounds like they have two days for the changes.  But, sometimes, PR throws in a last minute challenge to make another look.

[Wings]

I would love to see Char win just to see Korina's reaction.  I can be so mean.  I hate that. 

[LizBug]

I'm with you ... would love to see Char win.  The other designers aren't impressed with her either.

What a gorgeous suite at the hotel.  Too bad they can't relax and really enjoy it.

[LizBug]

Anyone else think the Amanda is pregnant?  During the Tim Gunn home visit, she was wearing looser clothing and now she's wearing tents.

[Wings]

I like Sean, too.  Amanda is okay, I do like her clothes.  Kini is precious but I am not sure his collection will pass muster.  Plus I have that quasi spoiler in the back of my mind that I think is probably an indication of who wins. 

[farmgal4]

Poor Char. She should have never been allowed to go to Fashion Week. I blame the judges for her fiasco. She does not have the talent for this.

Quasi spoiler?? Do tell!

Tim's save was probably not well thought out. 

[LizBug]

Tim is treating Char more like she's one of his students.  He wants to over-mentor and guide her.

[Wings]

Yes he is.  Fade is the one who should have been saved.  I liked his collection the most.

I will PM you. 

[DHDancer]

huh? editing is weird.  Amanda's gals are lined up and Char still has clothes on hangers?

[LizBug]

Ok ... they've criticized Char about the length (the shortness) of some of her outfits.  Then, Heidi comes out in a dress that barely covers her hoo-haw.

[Wings]

Char may the last one to show. 

[DHDancer]

Shoe-gate!!

Char may the last one to show. 

True, and of course we have all those dummy collections.....not just the finalists...

[Wings]

Heidi looks much thinner than I have seen her before.  

[farmgal4]

God, I wish I had Heidi's legs...

[Wings]

I love Nina.

I thought Amanda looked pregnant all season. It could just be the clothes she's been wearing I guess

[Wings]

Amanda you should change your hair style and lipstick color. 

[SopranoKris]

Amanda's collection looks better "live" than in the spoiler pictures

[LizBug]

Love seeing the eliminated designers in the audience.

[Wings]

I really like this collection.

[SopranoKris]

Still not digging the maxi dresses

[Wings]

Amanda's blue dresses are stunning!

[SopranoKris]

The dress Char is wearing looks better than some of the items in her collection

Does anyone think Char's "Fly" shirt looks like those "Choose Life" shirts from the 80s?

[DHDancer]

Oh no Tim, it's not cohesive at all.  but it walked well.

[LizBug]

Yes, it did "walk well".  Some of Amanda's models looked like it was their first time on the runway.

 

Actually, I liked Char's collection better than Amanda's collection of tents.

[Wings]

Oh no Tim, it's not cohesive at all.  but it walked well.

 

 

I didn't think so either.  Those 2 print things stood out as different and the last white number had no relation to the rest.  Not good. 

[susannot]

I like Char's collection better than Amanda's. I really loved the pants outfit she made with the Italian fabric.

[Wings]

I LOVE maxi dresses and if I were taller I would wear them!  

[SopranoKris]

Wings707, I completely agree with you about Fade.  I wish Tim had waited to use the save on him!

[farmgal4]

Amanda you should change your hair style and lipstick color.

She could be a knock-out with a good makeover

[SopranoKris]

Kini just loves black & white, doesn't he?

[LizBug]

Like a lot of Kini's stuff but not that last look.

[SopranoKris]

Oh no!  The triangle patch on Kini's last dress looked like it was a bikini bottom when view from a distance.  Yikes!  What a shame, I was really hoping he'd knock it out of the park.  Kinda hard when he had to revamp the whole collection in 24 hours.

[Wings]

She could be a knock-out with a good makeover

 

 

Yes, absolutely.

[SopranoKris]

The fringe coming down the runway looks like a car wash

[DHDancer]

Well, no claps for any particular pieces....

[SopranoKris]

I hate it say it, but I think Amanda might have the win.  Out of the 4, I hated it the least.

[susannot]

After all 4 shows, I am certain Sean will win.  His show was Haute Couture.. But by far my favorite outfit for actual women was Char's Italian silk pantsuit. LOVED it.  Want to buy it.

[Wings]

Amanada had my favorite collection.  I love Sean but not his fringe.  

I hate it say it, but I think Amanda might have the win.  Out of the 4, I hated it the least.

 

 

Ha ha ha ha!  Damning with faint praise is what this is called!

[DHDancer]

 Out of the 4, I hated it the least.

 

Ha! I'm exactly the opposite.  I also hated Amanda's styling -- long scruffy hair hid some nice details.   Of the others, there were definitely things I would wear (and ones you couldn't pay me to wear).   They all walked better than the photos and I really felt I was seeing very different collections because of that.

 

Really hard to say who will win at this point.  Voting for Sean (fellow antipodean) but I can see it going anywhere...

OMG, did you see that?  Alexander wins the Fan Fave?   Ugh.

[farmgal4]

Well, I wasn't blown away by any of them. I liked Kini's the least. I really did like Char's. Didn't care much for Amanda's. I predict Sean will win; his was very cohesive and very wearable.

[SopranoKris]

Ha ha ha ha!  Damning with faint praise is what this is called!

 

No, it's just that Amanda's design aesthetic this whole season hasn't really resonated with me, so I haven't really cared for much of what she's done (especially the patch work-y stuff).  So, I was very surprised to see that her collection looked better "live" on the runway than it did in the spoiler photos.

[Wings]

Char certainly knows she has no chance of winning with that critique!

[yeswedo]

When Sean was at Mood at the beginning of the episode he was asked 'No fringe today?', which I thought was strange. Now that I've seen his collection and remembered he is living in New York I'm guessing that he's been shopping at Mood while working on it. I did like most of his looks just think there's too much fringe.

[SopranoKris]

From the critiques, looks like Amanda's definitely a favorite to win it

[Wings]

And it was only two colors.
