Heidi doesn't make a stupid pun or come on this episode about the challenge...though she does mislead. She tells the designers they're headed to Rodeo Dr to meet a world renowned designer. All true except they've already met him; much more accurate to say meet WITH.
When she announces this, everyone has stars in their eyes and will only be disappointed when they get old hat Kors, even if he is a fabulous hat.
Kors, or the editor of this episode, might have been drunk because he made an "encouraging" statement that really didn't make logical sense.
"Whether real or imaginery I wanna see what kind of fabulous outfits you're gonna come up with." Was he inviting an emperor's new clothes scenario? How can you have an imaginary outfit? All of the places of inspiration were real, so it can't be an imaginary place...*scratches head*.
The challenge:
Choose a location that embodies who you are as a designer and the locale.
The designers are given 30 minutes to sketch and a $150 budget at Mood.
Then the usual boring workroom stress and Irina bitching about everyone being less talented than her.
The judges:
Michael Kors
Nina Garcia
Milla Jovovich
The family is all back together! I was beginning to think that MK and Nina Garcia were Superman/Clark Kent.
I loved that everyone genuinely responded to Kors' greeting and Nina's faux enthusiasm was met with a few half-hearted grunts.
My husband commented that Milla J was the first nice judge they've had. He doesn't watch them all, but she did have a special something. She seemed very enthusiastic and kind.
Althea
St. Tropez
Plain but nice. They didn't even bother photographing the back...
Carol Hannah
Palm Beach
Pretty, but looks like an Uli dress more than a Carol Hannah design.
Christopher
Santa Fe
The colors are good. The belt is great. I looked at it and I was warm towards it, yet felt dubious. I realize that it's the proportions that bugged me. It looks like a hourglass - and not the flattering, sexy hourglass. More like two triangles that are horizontal reflections of each other. It's quite unflattering.
Gordana
New York
Great top, but I'm not loving the dress. the puckering of the fabric and the bulge on the model's ass make it look a little messy. I think for me it's just a personal style issue. I wouldn't wear something like that and I don't really admire it.
Irina
Aspen
I kinda like it, but it reads really bitchy and the monochromatic color scheme is so boring. How awesome would it look if that sweater were a royal blue or some jewel tone. Her color choices are always so yawn-inducing. You can be chic AND colorful.
PS- Leggings still aren't pants!
Logan
Hollywood
A bad outfit for an extra in a movie set a few years in the future. Like Gamer!
The LOGAN EFFECT is in full effect, though Milla Jovovich seems immune. Is it because she was engineered by Umbrella Corp? Maybe it's just that actors learn to discount physical beauty since they see a lot more of it than us mere mortals.
Nicolas
Greece (I love how all of the rest of the locations are cities and this is a friggin country. Guess they thought the typical American wouldn't know a city in Greece.)
I actually agree with Milla. I like the top. The sleeves I could take of leave, but the torso reminds me of Herve Leger. The pants are a fugly fail.
I've decided that Christopher should be an accessories designer. This is his second fabulous belt.
Heidi tells Gordana she needs confidence and Gordana bows her head and mumbles okay. What an on-the-nose response!
Heidi begins with "The Rest of You"
and I imagined her going: You're all out.
and felt good. It would have been just. Everyone is just so boring.
Still, I felt that Christopher was acknowledging that he is lucky to have survived as long as he had and had made his peace with his impending Auf. I was shocked to see Nicolas go over him, though I feel both departures were inevitable. Both certainly deserved their bottom status this week.
