So I didn't mention the fabulous prizes that the winning designer will receive last entry. The winner will get the standard $100,000 to start their own line, a trip to Paris, and a fashion spread in Marie Claire. Does anyone read that? Any fashion cred? Why is it that Runway and Vogue never collaborate? I understood the Nina Garcia/Elle nepotism, but why not move UP now?
This week's challenge is to create a chic look for PREGNANT supermodel/film and television star Rebecca Romijn. You may remember her as Daniel's post-op brother on Ugly Betty or in full blue makeup as Mystique in the X-Men movies.
There are a few ridiculous quotes that were thrown around in this episode. For your reading pleasure:
Ra'mon - "I think she's in her early second semester......I mean trimester."
You REALLY went to med school?
Logan - "I've never really had a lot of pregnant women in my life. That's not really my deal. [Who's deal IS that? Besides an OBGYN...Maybe a cult leader?] Babies kinda scare me I guess. [Preachin' to the choir]
Shirin - "All good things take awhile" No, it's not a saying
Tim - "Cuckoo's already happened"
With me?
"No, not with you"
camera cuts to Malvin
this is a logical editing move, progressing from footage of Malvin talking
Malvin - "I'm playing around w images of eggs, birdsnests. Basically this look is called Mother Hen" on his fertility motif
I thought Mitchell was being catty when he told Ra'mon his dress looked like a bowling bag, but all the judges thought so too.
Was it just me, or did Mitchell call Tim "Jim" when he thanked him at the end of their consultation.
Tim was justly gushing over Shirin, and Carol Hannah was standing in the background eyeballing the scene like a hungry dog near a bucket of KFC.
Anyone else notice that Q is a little high strung at Mood? She's always runnin' around like it's the apocalypse instead of a fabric store.
Michael Kors was absent - so the judges were Heidi, Nina, Rebecca Romijn, and guest Monique Lhuillier. Speak of the devil, I wish she had verbally whapped Irina for ripping her off last week.
Althea
To be honest, I didn't care for it. I like the idea fine - even if it is very Herve Leger in the straps. I think it looked sloppy and way to hookerish on top. These models have no boobs and she still couldn't made a top big enough.
Carol Hannah
It's okay. The belly is oddly accentuated from the front with the draped fabric, and the jacket = fug.
Christopher
Pretty, but boring.
Epperson
All I wrote on my notepad was Jesus. I thought it was weird/bad before the jumpsuit was revealed. He's lucky for the stinkers, because this was bottom 3 worthy in my opinion.
Gordana
I think this is nice from the front. Not great from the back (like a ballet costume). It's not really my style though. The straps seem off.
Irina
I think it's ugly. Maybe I'm being harsh. The hem is bleh.
Johnny
Thank god he lost the jacket. I still hate this though. The contrast seaming is hideous to me.
Logan
I think the tunic is cool. The pants didn't leave much of an impression.
Louise
I think this is very pretty.
Malvin
It's not THAT bad...though my first thought was "wtf?" The explanation is much worse than the actual design. I think you were robbed.
Mitchell
Crappity Crap. They gave you a pass because it almost looked like a boho Olsen twin from the back.
Nicolas
Another yawn. I can't remember you or your designs.
Q
It's alright. It's kinda boring and it's been done. The silhouette looks just like a pear.
Ra'mon
I wrote "poorly ass executed" and I stand by it.
Shirin
By far the best. Gorgeous. Makes me want to get pregnant. Kidding.
I think her model looks like:
I am a masochist and watched Models of the Runway again, so I know that Shirin booted her in the next vote.
Next auf?
Mitchell *fingers crossed*
