This definitely seems like the most talented bunch of designers so far. Most of them already have some sort of business going and have been designing clothes for some time. Should make for interesting competition.
Last night's designs includes some real ups and downs. Let's take a look...
First of all, a few of the designs were just plain derivative. It's great to love another designer's work, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that, but this is a design competition, honey! You need to be original. These three outfits show the clear influence of Vivianne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and even touches of Betsey Johnson.
This third one is actually my favorite, even though I don't think it's all that original. It looks like something Cyndi Lauper might have worn back in the day. I like it! I don't love the shoes.
My winners (as in clothes I'd actually wear) are:
This is the cutest day dress ever. I could totally see this with flats and a kicky cropped jacket for a lunch with the girls. Soooo cute.
This dress is FAB. I would wear this in a heartbeat. First of all, it's purple. Score! Purple is such a great evening wear color and yet you see so little of it. Every thing about this dress is great. It's elegant without being stuffy and tres chic. It drapes beautifully and shows off the shoulders. Win! (No, this is not the actual winner, but it's the one I would have chosen.)
Did you watch last night? Did you have a favorite?
