My Dish DVR wasn't picking up tonight's episode as new so if you get a chance, I would check your DVRs. (It's odd too, since it normally picks up EVERYTHING as new (like the repeat episode and then the 5 minute recaps and all that fluff that normally comes with this show)).

Do people really wear graduation dresses in their school colors?  Seems like that’s not a thing, lol.

I would never take fashion advice from someone wearing the shirt that Anne had on for her mentor session.  She’s a little old to pull off Swiss Miss—as is anyone over the age of 5.

Talk about a one-way monkey, I wasn’t a fan of Sean’s fringe fanaticism on his season but I was willing to give him the chance to show he can do something (anything) else. 

Is it editing or does Michelle seem to have an irrational dislike of Irina?  Caustic comments about her dress for the second week in a row make it seem like there’s something deeper going on there.  Not that I loved Irina’s look (and other designers commented as well) but Michelle just came across as particularly nasty. 

Loved Evan’s look! Cynthia’s was also super cute and very appropriate for the challenge.  (So naturally they're both "safe" but not in the top.  Clearly I have zero in common with the judging panel.  I thought Sean's looked like a craft project and Seth Aaron's was boring.  Of course Issac loved Anthony Ryan's--I hated it, and not just the colors.  Crop tops are just not exciting and lace pants seem like they'd itch.  

Dimitri can’t be blamed for the McDonald’s coloring he chose, but the silhouette was right out of the ‘80s.

Anthony Ryan's look would have killed for JCP with those girls from that hard core football college with those colors. Don't remember  the school name but that color combo is familiar. 

Love that Seth Aaron and Dimitri seem to be friends. When SA held his hand out behind him for a high five from Dimitri.

Totally agree with Dimitri about Sean and his fringe.  I hated it when he was on last. And I hated his look tonight.

Anthony Ryan’s look was boring and ugly and the opposite of fashion forward.

I like Irina but she should have gone home for that mess.

Alyssa looked great! 

[Lady J]

For the most part these were not graduation dresses.

[Straycat80]

The orange and blue are University of Illinois and Chicago Bears colors, my home state. Doesn’t mean I have to like them (I don’t). And I didn’t like Anthony’s Design either. Funny how the judges criticized two of the designers for looking matronly, which I didn’t agree with because of the low slit in the front. But Anthony’s outfit looked too teenager, like something a Spice girl would have worn in the 90’s.

I agree with Sonny going home, cute dress, but he didn’t follow the rules and sticking a blue brooch on the back of the dress was dumb, can’t believe he thought he would get away with doing that. 

Alyssa looked very nice in the dress she was wearing. I’ve always thought Marchesa dresses were beautiful. 

[Fen Tiger]

I was hard pressed to decide whether Sunny’s choice to disregard the challenge but produce a really pretty dress was worse than Irina thinking a cootchie-flashing, cheap mess (quince-hooker was right on) was an appropriate look for a graduation. Also felt Seth Aaron’s look was better than Anthony Ryan’s but since JCP has to reproduce them wonder if they take cost to manufacture in volume into account?

I had a similar thought, but not about cost. They said the jcp.com dress would be "inspired by" the winning look, so they could do a cheap copy of anything. But I'm wondering if the judging is pushed more toward choosing a design in a style that's more everyday so that normal jcp.com people will buy it. Because that's kind of the opposite of what the show is about, for me, anyway.

I really do like Anthony Ryan, but he's been awful so far this season. 

[Sew Sumi]

Well, based on what was said, JCP was only going to produce an IDEA of the winning garments, not a literal interpretation. Of course, now we'll never know.

One thing I really like about the international designers -- the Australians, in particular -- is that they seem not to have the bitchy/mean girl gene that afflicts so many of the Americans who have appeared on this show over the years.

Had to laugh at Georgina's "finger-up" demonstration.

JCP isn't producing any of these looks.   In the thread for last week's episode it was explained that JCP's arrangement with PR lapsed some time ago, as these episodes were actually produced in the summer of 2017.

Was there a sale on colored lace or something?

I understand why Sonny was eliminated but I recall other instances in PR history where someone took a different interpretation of the challenge and didn't get let go. Maybe he didn't defend it very well?

I hated Sean's look. The purple dangly bits were reminiscent of pasties.

I’m mad about Dmitry...he’s right up there with Christian Siriano in my “Favorite PR Contestants Ever!” book...but he can absolutely be blamed for that ketchup-and-mustard color palette, because he chose everyone’s color tassels.

I really don’t like contestants, on any show, that don’t follow the challenge... imagine if they had all sewn a dress of one colour with just a bought brooch of the other colour pinned on somewhere?! Unfortunately, I would have liked to see more from Sonny.

How do Anthony Ryan’s pants fit into the ‘graduation DRESS challenge’ parameters?

 

PS: Australia usually has green and gold for its it’s national and international sporting colours (gum trees and wattle bush flowers) which I loathe with the heat of a thousand suns....you just can’t make those colours look good together 🤣. My school had purple and gold.... which, while a difficult and not particularly attractive combination, I have a strange affection for! 

Edited January 10, 2019 by CrinkleCutCat

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Ha, the death glare that Dmitry gave to Sean when he started talking about using tassels in this challenge was hilarious.

What in the holy hell was Anne wearing in the workroom? That top was so fug. When she told Christina that her design was too busy, all I could think was uh, have you taken a look at all the crap that's going on with your own shirt?

While I understand the way the graduation tassels and the colors related to the challenge, but I felt bad because some of those color combinations were so much better than others.

I didn't love the lace overlay, but I liked the swoopy infinity design of Evan's red and white dress.

Anya's green and white striped outfit did not look like something that anyone would wear to a graduation celebration. First of all, who would wear a fabric reminiscent of a picnic tent to a graduation party? Secondly, that wasn't a dress. That was a robe with shorts. I thought it looked too casual but also a little too bare for something that a graduate would be wearing in front of their grandparents.

Dmitry found a way to use both red and gold without the usual color blocking that we've seen ad nauseum, but once Anne said that it looked like an Olympic ice skating costume, I couldn't unsee that.

Jasper's white and blue dress was cute but not innovative. I liked the white cut out fabric he put on top of the blue though.

Django's burgundy and gold dress was hideous. The red fabric just looked tacked on top of a poorly made and ill fitting gold dress. I have no idea how that wasn't in the bottom.

I did not like Sean's white dress with the purple tassles sparsely interspersed. It looked way too lazy. I had to laugh when Isaac said the dress looked matronly and Georgina said, "Would a mother wear a dress cut down to there?" It might seem like a fair question to ask if a mother would wear a dress with a plunging neckline that stopped just short of her navel, but Georgina WHO IS A MOTHER was wearing a dress with a similar neckline. Oh, sorry, you were talking about OLD mothers, not, say a 42 year old mother like Georgina Chapman.

Cynthia's white and orange dress was cute but I wish the bow had been in the white fabric so that you could see it better. From a distance, it just looked lumpy where the bow was. Other than that, I thought it was a cute dress that fulfilled the challenge.

Sunny's layered yellow tulle dress was pretty but it dd not fulfill the challenge with the blue flower brooch on the back. That shade of yellow was giving me Beauty and the Beast vibes.

Irina's model looked like she was wearing a dress from Toddlers and Tiaras. It looked like a pageant dress made for a child, complete with the lace appliques. And man was there a lot of boob showing. I think the judges were being generous when they said the problem was the cheap looking fabric. That certainly didn't help matters, but using another fabric would not have taken away from the fairy princess hooker design. That was all Irina.

Christina's red and navy dress was a nice use of the two colors together, but I had to agree with Anne about it looking like a fall/winter dress due to the long sleeves. Isaac's assessment that the red top and the blue skirt seemed like they were from two different outfits was spot on.

I didn't like anything about Michelle's yellow and green dress. I didn't like the silhouette, the see through parts, or the shade of green she chose.

It did not bode well when Julie asked if they were allowed to sew their models into their dresses. Girl, sew your ass off now and hopefully you won't have to resort to sewing your model into your dress! Her purple dress with the yellow lace peeking out from the skirt was fun but it looked more like a cocktail party dress.

Seth Aaron's wine red and white dress was a great design for this challenge. I liked the big open floral crochet type overlay he used.

I'm glad that Anthony Ryan decided to take Anne's advice and embrace the orange. I thought the assignment was to design a summer dress, not a summer outfit. I even went back and rewatched the beginning of the episode to see exactly what the challenge was. Georgina said, "We want you to design a spring or summer DRESS for a graduation party and we want your looks to be sophisticated but appropriate for a celebration." For that reason, I think Anthony Ryan failed this challenge as much as Sonny did and shouldn't have won. Between the two looks, I liked Sonny's a lot more and I found it more appropriate for a graduation party.

Oh, Alyssa, do not let the hair people talk you into slicking your hair back again.

Georgina's makeup person needs to lay off the blush. Good lord.

How was Seth Aaron's look "Hipster girl in Brooklyn"?  To me it was "Little girl at Hampton's garden party."

Alyssa looked like crap.  Sorry.

I don't think it's just Irina.  If memory serves me, Michelle always had obnoxiously negative things to say about all sorts of designers and her season of PR majorly overused her as a constant talking head who they had to show commenting on everything to the point I wanted her off, off, off my tv screen no matter how good or bad a designer she was.  That was the period when PR was seriously bogged down in badly planned team seasons and such and emphasized the personal drama and cattiness to such obnoxious levels it felt much more like "Project Personality" for awhile, and I remember Michelle playing right along with this.  Michelle might be thinking she'll again get more airtime than everybody else if she plays the villain, but I seriously hope that this time the editors trust all the contestants' talent over the manufactured drama and don't bite.

Seth Aaron is getting pretty full of himself. I wouldn’t mind seeing him brought down a notch. 

[novhappy]

I really hate the visual editing of All Stars. Runway is all quick cuts from dress to designers. We don’t need to see the designers faces multiple times when the dress is walking. Here to see the garment. Even when Alyssa is talking it’s cut, cut , cut. Can’t get a clear look at anything. Maybe I need a bigger tv. 

[BusyOctober]

Michelle is a witch.  I don't think she is a great designer.  She is rude and snide and her nasally voice is nails on a chalkboard.  When she rips apart the other contestants she isn't even clever or witty or snarky.  It's just mean spirited.  Her dress was hideous.

I liked Seth Aaron's and the other white eyelet dress (can't remember the designer...still too many of them on the runway). 

Sunny had a great dress, but deserved to be auf'd for disobeying the challenge.  If he had put a little blue edge on one of his many yellow tulle layers, or spiral some blue ribbon into one of the yellow folds, he could've been in top 3.

Anthony Ryan's was better than last week, but he should have put sneakers on his model over those 1970's cork wedge sandals.

The red/navy Aussie outfit was definitely "matronly", and not spring-y at all.  Yet another beach sarong from Anya...blind runway, my ass.  EVERYONE in the studio knows her non-sewn, fluttery "dresses" when they see them. Aliens in other galaxies know it's Anya' s outfit.  Single cell amoeba floating in the ocean know an Anya outfit. 

Irina's model must have been sooo embarrassed to wear that Frederick's of Hollywood/Disney Princess mash up.  Georgina was right; I bet she and Isaac did see that poor model's crotch ...they may have even seen her uterus.   

Sean Kelly's dress looked like muslin with a bunch of Stevie Nicks cast off earrings tacked on to it.  And that plunging neckline was just too deep.  

I didn't like the dress with the red and gold lame (Dutch guy's??).  And as much as I like Dmitri, I regretfully agree with Anna's "ice skater costume" assessment.

Speaking of their mentor...when Project Runway goes back to Bravo, I hope they forget to give Anna the new address. She is a pill.  Not a single word of real feedback. No constructive criticism.  She gives one comment, delivered in the most flat, deadpan, emotionless voice. She is worse than that Zanna person who showed up in previous PR iterations.  At least Zanna had energy and presented some sign of personality.

Interessting, so Dimitri sorted himself and Django into Gryffindor, Sunny into Ravenclaw but put Anya into Slytherin ;-)

He's been designing forever, it seems like, and I tend to like almost everything he does, so I'll agree to disagree with you. That being said, I kind of snorted when he was touting his relationship with QVC.

Also, I liked the first dress he made so much better than the second, and I wish he'd sent that one down the runway so I could have seen more of it.

Has anyone here watched the handmaid's tale. Georgina reminds me of serena joy possibly aunt Lydia. 

There's something deeply uncomfortable and wrong about her observations and thoughts on women/mothers and what they should wear. And then when you add in her complicity in the Harvey weinstein situation.... 

[gibasi]

they never said what kind of graduation.  Around here they have 8th grade Graduation which is as big a deal as High School.  I immediately thought high school, not college. Maybe it was because I didn't have or know anyone who had a college graduation party that involved families and dresses.  There are still too many people and I can't keep them all straight.  Knowing that it was filmed in 2017 and we are in 2019 just takes something away from the whole thing.

[Boofish]

Since they were not specific where a person was graduating, I can see Anthony's look being popular. The styling this season will remain tacky because the accessory wall is tacky. No offense to JCP shoppers but the place is not known for high end fashion. I think earlier seasons of PW was designers over the years the show is more "talent" if that make sense. I can't see anyone from this group being the next great name in design.

[dleighg]

why did so many designers go straight to the (cheap-looking) lace section of Mood? A quick and dirty way to get two colors (layer one color lace over different color base)?

Especially the two he put right at the end of the model's breasts.   Talk about lack of taste.

I liked Sunny's (Sonny?) dress a lot.  Certainly lots more than Anthony Ryan's non-dress with the crop top that he always makes.  The one that somehow sticks out from the model's body in the front.  People complain about Anya always making the same thing - most of them do.

Dmitry really doesn't like Sean.

[SHD]

I get that Sean made those purple dangly things and that they were time-intensive and all, but I don't really care if he plucked individual feathers and beaded them and hand-stitched them on. They read as cheap on TV and this is a televised design show. I wish they'd take that into account. So many times the top three dresses are praised for something that can barely be detected on TV.

[40Love]

Seems like the judges were tripping all over themselves to justify keeping Anthony Ryan in the competition. They made it seem like the most innovative design of all time. IMO it was not... average as best. I liked Seth Aaron and the Canadian guy's best. But, the designer from Canada didn't even make the top 3. So what do I know. Heh!

If Sonny had thrown in just one layer of blue in that pretty yellow dress... he would still be in the competition and Irina would have been sent home. It's a shame because I was looking forward to seeing other designs from him. 

[Katherine Kegel]

I hated Sean’s dress.  It was ill fitting and it looked like my dad spilled his tackle box on a white sheet.  

i am really curious about the Indian school.  I know that the thing with JCP is no longer happening, but what about the donation to the school?  Did they auction it off a long time ago (which would have been dumb, because no one would have known to look for it and it wouldn’t have made any money)?  Or are we to believe they’ve held onto it for 2 years (unlikely)?  Or is the school just SOL at this point?  If they are still going to sell it it’s really a bummer Seth Aaron didn’t win.  I could see a lot of people wanting/wearing/ bidding on his dress.  Not so much that itchy orange and blue lace non-dress.  Either way it seems like he school got screwed on this one.  

[jhlipton]

First of all, while I'm in favor of girl's getting educations, why are all these charities giving money to India, from whence come the H1Bs that edge out American workers?  India can afford to educate its own children -- how about giving to a more deserving country?

Sonny didn't offer a "different interpretation" to the challenge; he gave it a "finger up".  If he had been kept on, the designers could legitimately ignore any rules as long as they made a good dress. No, he had to go.

Irina's dress looked like it belonged on Toddlers and Tiaras.

[Sarnia]

I actually have no idea what a graduation party looks like and what kind of dress (or outfit) would be appropriate for one, but Irina's dress was inappropriate in any situation. The bottom was too short and the top was way too small and revealing. Many other dresses had much nicer cleavage openings (not sure what is the proper way to describe that), which left a lot to the imagination. 

I liked Evan's dress, I thought is was quite dramatic and interesting, but the fabric looked like wall-covering from the Victorian era.

Not sure what Dmitry was thinking when he picked that color combination for himself, but the result was very disappointing.

None of the designers really wowed me this week, and I think there are too many of them. Do we know how many episodes there will be in the season?

[HurricaneVal]

I think the auff'd designer had a good reason for taking the risk that be did. Once he saw Ikea, there was no going back for him. His vision stalled.

Seth Aaron's was lovely, but he's such an arrogant ass that I never want him to win. Ever.

I completely co-sign the Toddlers and Tiaras comments for Irina, and I also completely co-sign the "slutty princess collection" comments as well. 

How it is that the completely atrocious and fugly burgandy and gold dress didn't go straight to the bottom, and then get auff'd immediately I'll never know.  Not only was it totally ugly, but it looked to be poorly constructed.  I literally screamed when it didn't make the bottom three.  The judges are on crack.

I picked the infinity swoop dress for the win, and again was totally surprised to not see it in the top three.  I thought it was much prettier and more sophisticated than Seth Aaron's.  The judges are on crack.

Mr. HurricaneVal said that the tassel dress looked like the model ran full tilt boogie into the fishing lure wall at Cabela's and rolled around to see what sticks.  He's not wrong.

Australia#4 got ripped for being matronly and staid, but I'd like to remind the judges that not all graduates are breathless 18yo party girls. Some are mature women completing advanced degrees, or completing a delayed degree. Suck it, judges.

[Payal90]

I'd love it if someone stood up to georgina once and for all and told her where to stick it. I used to like a lot the first few seasons because I thought she was genuinely lovely and the nice judge. Ally to women but she's the opposite. Like I said before anti feminist and so critical of certain types of women aka non skinny/glam/made up/young. And what they can or cannot wear. 

[Gloriosa]

I think some of those truly unfortunate color combinations could have worked better with a color-blocked dress.  There was way too much lace on that runway.

I think partially it's because he didn't have much of a defense but mostly because his advancing didn't fit the narrative they have for the season.  I guarantee if one of the "chosen" ones had done the same dress they would have been praised and possibly even given the win.  As mentioned above, Anthony Ryan didn't make a dress as was defined in the challenge and the judges chose to ignore that fact.  I can't think of any specific instances (although both Erin and Ashley come to mind) where this has happened, but it has surely been seen in other seasons.  Sometimes they choose the "fashion" over the challenge.  It's very frustrating, especially when people you like are eliminated and people you don't particularly care for are given a pass.
