12-27-12 Project Runway All Stars Review

Hey guys! I am back with another Project Runway All Stars review! I love this show so much and really enjoyed this episode so before I start rambling about stuff I am going to go ahead and get into the review. Again, I will not reveal who won or who went out just in case you have not seen the episode yet. Oh and these are my opinions, they do not necessarity the same as the judges.

The Challenge: To make a wow, ready to wear look from the fabrics in the wear house of  Elie Tahari.
*****Fun Fact!! My mom's friend's daughter just got a job working for him******

Ivy: Again, really glad to see her come into her own this season. I applaud her choice of fabric because not only was it beautiful, but it was out of her comfort zone, and at this point in the competition, you can not afford to play it safe. However, the dress was a train wreck. I did not like the lenght because it was in a weird spot. It looked like the girl was wearing a dress that was too short on her because it didnt quite reach the ground. I know that she did this because they reacted to her comment of "the buyer can hem it to their lenght but she didnt want to cut the fabric" however, I am one of those short girls who could not wear that dress at full length and her cropping it slightly would not have made a difference for this shortie. I also didnt like the black belt. It looked a bit crafty.

Uli: I am glad to see her friendship with Ivy because I felt like she was very much on her own for a lot of the show.  Personally, I was not a fan of the frige detailing on the top. However, it was deff not made for a younger person like myself. It was totally a middle aged person's dress and for that I think it was good. It covered all that a middle aged women would want to cover and showed what she would want to show. I was watching the show with my mom and she really liked this dress.

Emilo: I think that one of Emilo's strengths is that his stuff is always really well made. This dress I think also catered to an older audience. It was a longer length and had some what on camera looked like maroon detailing which was great because it broke up the yellow a bit. Was it ready to wear? I dont know. But it was deff a good dress and was well spent effort. He did a solid job this week.

Anthoney Ryan: Loved loved LOVED this dress!! The placement of the patterning was fabulous as well as the addition of the black pannels on the side. I am an absoluete sucker for snake print and stretchy black material. This dress was very ready to wear and deff something that I would try on if I saw it in a store. What worries me about Anthoney is that he always, no fail, uses blue black and white. So far they have not picked up on it in the judging  but it is something to think about. With that said, I love this guy. He seems like such a genuine guy and I think that he fufills the role of becoming a face on the show via winning.  Overall, this was my favorite look this week. Another good one for Anthoney Ryan.

Joshua: Oy. This week was a struggle for him. Josh is honeslty one of the nicest people ever. We tweet and FB once and a while and I ask him my questions about design (just starting out) and he answers and he is so nice to his fans. I love him as a designer and as a person. As I said before, his style is most like mine and I would probably wear almost anything that he made and I REALLY want him to win this season. With that said. The pink material and the lace together I realy loved. What I dont get is why he did not put a bra on that girl. She did not need to have saggy boob syndrom. Honestly, a good strapless bra would have done the trick. The zipper issue?  I dont even really know what to say except ooopse?  I dont think the problem came from over designing this week actually. Josh has a very hard, edgy style and he flourishes when he has materials that go with his style. This week he chose feminine materials and made and edgy dress and they just did not go well together. I feel like whenever he encounters a problem it is from mixing edgy with feminine materials. I hope he really works it so that he makes the final because he is diserving and he can do it, if he pulls it off. Next week can not be another bust for him or it will be the end of the road.

Okay, and that is my review for this week's Project Runway All Stars! I am SO looking foward to next week's episode and I hope that you watch! If you have not yet seen this weeks, you should totally go check it out. It is absoluetely worth it!

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Project Runway 10-22-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a look inspired by the bridges of New York incorporating 3-D printed detailing. Challenge: The designers were flown to LA where the city served as their inspiration for a red carpet look. Thoughts In The Workroom: L.A has a Mood puppy! So cute. Ashley's fabric is very pretty. Edmond's fabric is gorgeous as well. Edmond No! Don't shorten! I hope Kelly's pants fit... Guest Judge: Christian Siriano Ashely: Boobs! Ashley picked a beautiful gold sequin fabric. However, the dress was not my favorite this week. Ashley's dress was floor length with a-symmetrical sleeves. On one arm, she had a long sleeve. The other arm, she had a spaghetti strap. The chest had a huge cut out between the sleeves that plunged down to her waist. The neckline was not flattering in my opinion. The judges were split on this look. Some of them thought that fabric was dated while others liked it. Heidi actually liked the very open c...

Project Runway 10-26-15 Final Part 1 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a Red Carpet look. Thoughts in the Workroom: I knew Edmond would get the save!! Edmond really did deserve it. Not coming in prepaired must put on so much pressure. Candice's red and white pants are SO cute! Wait, Ashley what is that stain remover stuff? I need that. Challenge: The designers will show the judges three looks from their collection for feedback. One of those looks would be created from scratch, in the workroom . Guest Judge: No one this week. Home Visits From Tim : Ashley: Tim visited Ashley's hometown where she revealed her Mexican heritage. Ashley is creating a plus sized collection. I think that it is awesome that she is going for it. There is such a need for quality, fashionable, plus-sized clothing. Ashley's mother supported her vision stating the importance of Ashley's vision. Tim praised Ashley for her innovation with her floral headpieces, however, he warned her that the judges may cal...
