Why yes, I am wearing a patchwork of Oven Mitts.
I don't know why, but this season of All Stars just hasn't clicked for me yet, but this week's challenge was interesting, and I'm pretty sure hasn't been done before. The designers must create wearable art using spray paint, but the end results end up less Banksy and more ... BankRUPTsy. Oh c'mon, that was brilliant
We saw some actual conflict in the workroom, as Laura seems to be working everyone's last nerve, and the fabulously gossipy Kayne tries to fan the flames. Other than that, it was business as usual, as this class is being far too kind to each other, and we've seen shockingly little of such polarizing past figures as Joshua.
"Androgynous Cigarette Girl" is the look of the future.
So how did each designer do? Let's take a look.
Althea - It looks like stepping stones, and that neckline is bizarre. SAFE
Andrae - That bow tie thing is horrible, and i'm not feeling the Helena Bonham Carter hair. SAFE
My Sweet Anthony Ryan - The judges loved this, and I thought it was very cute. But maybe a bit too simple. RUNNER-UP
Casanova - This one grew on me. I love that he put buildings on the graffitti design ... or are those salt shakers? SAFE
Emilio - This was fabulous. Bold and dazzling, it deserved the win. WINNER
Ivy - The judges liked it, but I hated it. Am I the only one who saw TENACITY as TENT CITY? Which would have been appropriate. TOP THREE
Joshua - Once again, neither here nor there. But too many colors. He should have toned it down a notch. SAFE
Kayne - Okay, I know I'm in the minority, but I liked this. I loved the top, and somehow it worked with the rest of the gown. BOTTOM TWO
Laura - I hated this. I liked the splotching, but the colors were murky, and that hem looks like an arrow toward her crotch. BOTTOM THREE
Suede - Ladies and Gentleman ... The Bride Of Sigmund & The Sea Monsters. This was horrible, and I'm surprised the model didn't leave a trail of those press-on thingies. HE DESERVED TO GO.
Uli - UGH! Those shoulder blades. The Stegosaurus look baffles me. SOMEHOW SAFE.
So Suede is sent packing, and Emilio is given the win (and makes the confounding statement "Finally, I have a win." Um ... this is the third challenge. "Finally?")
What did you think?
