All That Burlap
"She's so beautiful she would look good in a burlap sack" is the premise of this week's challenge. The designers were driven out to a farm to meet the models and "shop" for their materials. Models doubled as clients for the challenge and also were allowed to choose their designer. Mila was left for last by the models and had a little hissy fit about it wondering in her confessional "am I chopped liver?" Good grief - someone has to be last. It doesn't mean everyone hates you.
Only fifteen minutes were allowed to confer with the models and shop for materials from the bins in the farmers field. The contestants then headed back to the workshop to begin working on the outfits. Tim came to check on the progress and gave Jesus a slight verbal lashing for "skirting the challenge". Jesus' garment was a burlap skirt entirely covered with ribbons: hardly innovative. Ping continues to be eccentric but this week she is actually using her mannequin.
During the fitting Mila continued to stew over the supposed snub from her former model. Someone needs to take the phrase "it's just business" to heart. The workroom was a little crazier than normal with several designers attempting to dye their fabrics on plastic sheets strewn across the floor. Anna had a really cool idea to use a potato as a stamp and imprint a design on the fabric.
- The Runway -
Bold = Winner, Red = Loser
Jay - Stunning. I can't believe it was made from burlap. - Judges impressed "looks expensive"
Pamela - It looked like something a 15 year old made for the 4-H fashion show - Judges "too short and too tight. not sophisticated. A plain potato sack would probably look better."
Anthony - So Hot! At a quick glance, I thought the model was Angelina Jolie.
Ping - Again WTF?!?!?!?! I really don't think that Pamela's dress was worse than Ping's. In fact I think Pamela's dress was slightly better. It seems like the producers like her and are protecting her.
Ben - Fabric looked like he used the same dye as Anthony. Dress was cute but a little plumping.
Mila - Sexy. Amazing for what she had to work with - Judges "farm to the future - fantastic"
Anna - I'm not a fan of the color but I like the design and the use of the potato stamp on potato sack was kind of poetic.
Emilio - Dress was simple design but it fit well. I loved the pattern though, the colors popped.
Jesse - Looked like a riding suit - ehhh.
Seth "The Magician" Aaron - Sick design! This looks like something you would see on a professional runway.
Amy - I was going to say it was kind of weird but at second glance, I found it kind of cute.
Janeane - Looked like a frumpy red carpet dress. Almost good.
Jesus - I thought it was ok except for the fact that it used so much ribbon and the asymmetry over the ass.
Jonathan - Looked a bit like lingerie with all the black lace down the front.
Maya - Beautiful mix of colors, her background coming through on this dress quite clearly.
I like the episodes where they have an unusual material to work with like the newspaper challenge in season 6. It really shows who has the most creativity and innovation. Another good episode.
