I was really stoked to see Jonathan win because I think he really deserved it. While Maya’s outfit really did embody the concept of water, both Michael and Nina think that Maya still hasn’t discovered who she is as a designer yet. I thought it was a real toss-up between Jonathan and Maya taking the win. (Did he really, though? I don’t recall him saying anything about that.) When the model is asked what she thinks (a first, I think), she says that she loved that Jonathan took her skin tone into consideration. “I love the fact that you played up the model’s skin tone,” Nina says.

“All I can think about is, if you don’t make a suit, don’t make a suit,” Heidi tells Ben. “It’s like she’s growing hair out of her chest,” Nina says.

“It looks like a cat in a baby’s sling,” Heidi points out. “She looks like a barmaid serving hair,” Michael Kors tells her. When the model came down the runway, it looked like the top was going to come crashing down under the weight of all that hair. When Anthony says it looks like her model needs Nair in her pits, I can’t help but laugh.

“Is anyone else as worried as I am?” Tim asks when he enters the workroom and everybody’s still sewing down to the very last minute.Īmy’s outfit looks like a huge disaster - she’s created this weird ass bowl around the chest and filled it with fake hair. They’re using actual fabric this time around! It’s not like last week’s challenge where they had to work with hardware store items. I really don’t get why the designers seem to be in a panic over this challenge. He points out that the one week he decided he wanted to be innovative and take a risky to vault himself out of the “safe” zone and into the winner’s circle, he wound up in the bottom two. “Being safe is a big old question mark,” Jonathan says, wondering what it is that the judges are waiting to see from him in order for him to win. Take Anthony, for example - he chose “fire” but his outfit it full of greys and blacks because he’s thinking more in terms of the ash and smoke. Jonathan looks around the room and observes that a lot of the designers have taken great liberties with the elements they’ve chosen. (Especially when he says he doesn’t even have enough fabric to start over if he wanted to.) His explanation was intriguing and deep, but I can’t even begin to capture it now because I’ve forgotten it.īen chose “water” but he’s opting to do a suit because he’s thinking sharks - which is interesting, but the fact that he’s never done pants before makes me nervous and makes me suspect he’s about to be sent home. Jonathan also pulled “air” and he’s cutting layers that’ll peek through at different angles. Seth Aaron has pulled “air” so he’s decided to make an outfit that resembles the city night air. The outfits this week sound interesting in theory. The whole product placement thing is just annoying because the makeup and hair is so secondary to the outfit. When Tim turns it over to Phillip Carreon, celebrity stylist for Garnier, he sounds exactly like someone out of a Garnier commercial. This week, the designers meet Tim on the rooftop of Atlas, where he tells them that they’re to create an outfit based on one of the four elements. More shots of him than usual makes me wonder, “Is he going home? Is this one of those predictable things that reality shows do where they focus on the person who’s going home?” That Marie Claire challenge - I thought he should have won it. He’s so low-key and totally in the background that you often forget he’s even there - and I know he’s capable of good work. One designer I’d love to see more of is Ben. Shouldn’t the competition have been fierce right from the start?Īt this point in the game, if you’ve been flying under the radar and haven’t bagged a challenge yet, then you know that it’s just a matter of time before you go - because tat this stage, the repeat winners have all but guaranteed themselves a spot in the final three. “Failure is not an option at this point - so onward and upward!” Anthony says. “It’s definitely do-or-die time,” Jonathan says. “We’re like the Victoria Secret wonder bra - we lifted each other,” Jay declares, holding up imaginary boobs, to his remaining roommates, Ben, Seth Aaron and Anthony as they discuss the remaining contestants.Īs the weeks fly by, we’ll invariably be treated to a montage of, “Oh, the competition’s getting fiercer and fiercer!” confessionals to the camera.
