Hey guys!! Runway has certainly been going fast this season!! It seems like it just started! Anyway, this week they were in teams of two and one team of three. It was a pretty successful week as far as the garments on the runway are concerned. There really were no major disasters!! As always, this post will not contain any spoilers and these are all my own opinions so they may not correspond with the judges. With that said, lets get on into it!
Challenge: To make a ready to wear outfit inspired by the Lord and Taylor flower
Layanna, Richard and Samantha: This was an interesting trio. I have got to say, the girls are very strong this season. So I am going to start out with them. Layanna's dress was by far my favorite this challenge!! She made a floral flowy dress with a halter neckline made out of leather and cinched in the waist with leather. I love the silhouette of this dress and deff think that a million different body types would look good in this dress. I think it was very well made and very flattering. The judges nailed it for the print and called it "dowdy". No offence to the judges, but I disagree with them completely. Layanna's dress was sophisticated and anything but dowdy. Next onto Samantha. Yes this was very junior...but I think that it was what she was going for. Samantha's dress was red, blue and tan with a tiered skirt and a cut out heart. This dress was a bit too mini, especially for that audience and it was also a bit poorly made. The skirt looked labored. With that said, I really liked this dress. I thought that it was cute if aiming at a junior audience. I like the heart detail. Is it tacky? Maybe. But I could totally some girlies going for that. Now onto Richard. This to me was not very good. Richard made a black jersey gown with a pink panel down the middle. First, he made a gray dress like this a few weeks ago and if I am correct...his team was in the bottom that week? Also, The dress made his model look overweight! This is a ready to wear challenge, if the dress made the model look big....I can only imagine what other bodies would look like in it! Also, the styling was bad. To me the boring structure of the dress with the giant hand bag and the flat's read very over-worked new mom of twins.....
Michelle and Daniel: Daniels was another one that was not my favorite. During the episode, he said that he felt like he had lost track of himself in previous challenges and that he was going to find himself again...well I think he needs to keep looking. He made a pink dress with cap selves and some detailing on the side that looked like an accident. I really do not think that this dress was attractive. I love pink but a whole dress of it just is never figure flattering. Was it horrible? No, but he can do better. Michelle was another story all together. I would have never dreamed that her dress was made out of leather. Now, we all know my feelings on Yellow....but overlooking that.....I think the dress was stunning on the model and looked great on the runway. However, unless you are a model, you would not look good in this dress. It was a straight dress with no boob or butt room and it just wasn't really ready to wear to me. With that said, it was a well made dress and certainly looked good on the runway. This was probs my second favorite from the episode.
Patricia and Stanly: These two presented the world of okay. Neither was poorly made or poorly designed. But neither was out standing. Patricia in general I do not get. I loved her orangish flowy top but the pants were not gorgeous. Idk she is just not clicking for me this season. Stanly, made a plan orangeish dress. It literally had no design. Like, I have seen this dress a million and a half times in the store. I really do not have much to say about this pair this week because I just don't know how the matched ready to wear with boring. Idk
That is it for my review this week!!! Since there are less designers and I feel like we have gotten to know them pretty well at this point, I am going to start reviewing them individually like I did for All Stars. I also think that the fewer designers left, the easier it becomes to distinguish who did what work in the teams. I honestly still don't know how I feel about the teams. But none to less, it has been a great season and I can't wait for next week's episode!! If you have not yet seen this week's episode, head on over to lifetime and check it out. Full episodes can be found online :)
