27 from New York, NY

Can someone please explain why everyone here calls her pistachio?

[Pallida]

She referred to herself as pistachio either on the first episode or the road to the runway episode.  

[Julia]

She said in The Road To that pistachio means "happy nut" in chinese and that's how she sees herself. 

 

Her stuff isn't to my taste, but I really like the way she thinks about clothes. I hope her presenting herself in a way that isn't Serious enough for the judges doesn't hurt her. 

[Rahul]

Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't realize there was an episode that aired before last week (S14E01).

I am hoping she sticks around for a few more challenges. I like the fact that she has a different POV.

 

But if her next outfit has the same "box" silhouette as the 1st 2, I'm betting she's a goner.

I loved the little envelope/purse her model retrieved from the front panel of the dress!

Just a cute finishing touch that, to me, tied in well with the Hallmark theme.

Her website.

A few rather voluminous articles but nothing like her first two boxes, err, designs. I like her shoes.

I just can't with the envelope stunt. Would totally have been on board with the model using an envelope as a purse without the stage business of pulling it from her chest. One thing about Hanmiao, more than other designers so far, is I think she thinks architecturally about her designs. noticed that on photos of her past work posted on Lifetime website.
