This season of PR has been like a roller coaster ride. Every week my mind changes on who I like. The only people I've continued liking are Anya, Anthony Ryan, and Laura. They seem like the only genuine people in this competition. Team challenges seem to really show everyone's true colors, and that fact seemed to ring loudly this week. Villains of the week Bryce and Victor. They just seemed to not want to work with their partners and Victor went into the challenge with a bad attitude. Instead of disrespecting Bert and saying he is going to be this way, why not recognize that Bert has a broad and vast knowledge of the industry and listen to what he has to say? Victor rushed in with his idea and never really gave Bert any say. I agree Bert made a bad fabric choice, but Victor's was not better by any means.
Far worse than Victor was Bryce, he just steam rollered over the sweetest girl in the competition. Its no wonder she messed up on the top with him breathing down her neck the whole time. Honestly though, I think her top that was a little off grain would have looked better then what he came up with. And I really think that bright turquoise around the waist would have been beautiful. He's lucky she searched for some kind of color because his all black on a tall stilts women would have looked so boring... oh wait it did :\
After all that, I feel the bottom 2 should have been Victor and Bryce, with Bryce going home not Fallene, I'm really going to miss her.
Anya and Olivier's actually turned our really nice and I felt they were a really good team working together, I was really worried their design wasn't going to turn out, but it did.
Laura and Anthony Ryan's was by far my favorite, it looked fresh from the runway and so chic! I would buy it in a heartbeat. they are my favorite personalities currently. Anthony Ryan being my absolute favorite. I love how his voice seems to have a slight southern drawl? Does anyone else here that? And he just seems like a fun person to be around.
Becky and Kimberly were a very odd match up. Becky came off as aloof to me, Kimberly seemed like she would have been open towards friendship but Becky was very stand off. This puts Becky on my not a fan list. I did like their design though and I think it worked so well because they really took their client into consideration. Although they didn't actually work together their design turned out great and didn't display their distance from each other.
As for Cecilia and Danielle, their work with chiffon was amazing, however if that had been a normal judging day I'm sure they would have been told it was matronly and been on the chopping block. Up next to all the other designs though I can see how it easily made the top 3. But that hair... my goodness..
I'm really nervous for the designers next week, Nina will not be an easy client at all.
As for my look, when I thought about stilt walkers this image of aphrodite rising from the sea popped in my head and became my inspiration. I wanted the top to look like waves crashing around her and my goal with the pants would be to make them look as if they were a dress, so a sort of palazzo style. And here it is:
Yours would have won!! And I totally agree.. The chiffon look was absolutely matronly, but tailored beautifully!!
