SEAN Sean got one of the best dolls ever—Julie the 70s American Girl Hippie and whose parents died from a bad acid trip … I kid about that last part—because you could go wild with color and detail and design … so please to explain why he went pale blue?? At the critique, Tim sees that Sean will also do fringe on his vest and urges Sean to rethink it because it appears too retro. Sean says Tim is always right and rips away the fringe—he should’a taken a page from Char and kept it, because, well, the outcome might have been better, if not different.
WHAT HE SAID It looks polished. It looks clean. It looks like it could be sold in a store today.
WHAT I SAID Trouble was, it looked like Sean had skipped out of the workroom and gone down to a really cheap clothing store and bought this look. It was blibbety blah blay in blue.
WHAT THE JUDGES SAID The Adorable Zac Posen™ said “It ain’t groovy.” He loved the print, but said it wasn’t funky enough, and called the appliqué peace sign on the back a cliché. Heidi then noted how it wasn’t a peace sign because it was missing one of its legs; it looked more like a 70s version of a Mercedes hood ornament. Sean’s face turned the brightest red as he struggled to explain that it was an updated peace sign and I thought he was just more adorable than ever. Heidi then said what we were all thinking, that it was a McCall’s pattern and not worthy of the PR. Nina liked the vest a bit, and she loved the print, but she wished Sean had gone with more of the 70s design ideas and colors. Elisabeth Moss didn’t hate it—ouch—but also wished for some of the crazy 70s colors, while Heather Northrop loved the silhouette but said it wasn’t Bohemian enough.
WHAT HAPPENED Luckily for Sean there were other crap dresses on the runway.
EMILY She tells us at the outset that she has her own children’s line so she has this in the bag; never a good move, because, well, it means you don’t have it in the bag. Her doll is Rebecca, a Russian Jewish immigrant; luckily, she still has both her parents and doesn’t have a sibling with a disability. But, Emily decides that Rebecca loves to play dress up, so she makes a sweater and a shiny skirt and tons of tulle. She says she’s going to make sure the look is not too young and not too old; she was half right. Tim liked her fabric choices, especially for the sweater, but he was worried about the proportions and the lack of a waist. Cue ominous drumming and cue Sean saying, See? Told you Tim was always, er, sometimes, right.
WHAT SHE SAID I think my look is really polished. It’s different.
WHAT I SAID Different isn’t always good, and I worry that Rebecca’s old Russian Grandmother won’t be happy that the girl is wearing her sweater.
WHAT THE JUDGES SAID Heidi was on the fence about it; she didn’t like the shiny fabric, and wasn’t a fan of the drab color. Heather Northrop called the silhouette frumpy, and wondered if a shorter skirt and a more defined waist would have helped; it would, just ask Tim Gunn. Nina said there was no joy in the dress; the top was sweet, but the colors are drab and said. The Adorable Zac Posen™ muttered Oy vey and said there was no magic to the look; he apparently knows all about the American Girl dolls, especially Rebecca because he began talking about pickles and, well, I don’t get it. Elisabeth Moss liked the sweater, but thought maybe a cute sweater dress over the tulle might have been better.
WHAT HAPPENED Emily barely dodged a bullet this week, so her time may be dwindling.
SANDHYA This was the week of Sandhya and those who don’t like her—nearly everyone but Emily—and her thick skin. Thick skin that lead to her begging for a little compassion. Her doll is Caroline, 1802, and she wants to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a ship captain. So, Sandhya wants to use sailing appliqués on a jumpsuit. In pink. Tim wasn’t having it, and began telling her that he has serious difficulty understanding her color choices, even though the judges seem to like it. But, as Sandhya does, when people, question her taste level, or design level, or color choices, said it would be beautiful. And we all know how that will end.
WHAT SHE SAID She’s making my look look even better.
WHAT I SAID It’s a toddler, with a full diaper.
WHAT THE JUDGES SAID Heidi liked it … for a one-year-old, but not for a girl aged 8-to-12. And the snaps in the back — easy access for changing a diaper — made it seem even more childish. Sandhya said she liked the feedback but disagreed. Nina called it Teletubbie, not at all age-appropriate, and wondered if Sandhya was working on an entirely different challenge. Sandhya said she liked the feedback but disagreed. The Adorable Zac Posen™ called it circus flamingo. Sandhya said she liked the feedback but disagreed. Elisabeth Moss said it wasn’t mature or cool or modern. Sandhya said she liked the feedback but disagreed. Heather Northrop hated the pant length and also agreed with Zac about the circus. Sandhya said she liked the feedback but disagreed. At the Up Close, Heidi asked the girl if she really liked the look and she said, ‘No.’ Backstage, Sandhya said she liked the feedback but disagreed.
WHAT HAPPENED Nina liked Sandhya’s use of color better than Emily’s drab, and Elisabeth agreed, But, it appears, that Heidi, Zac and Heather hated Sandhya’s look even more and so she was finally Auf’d. She was last seen walking down Seventh Avenue saying she liked the feedback but disagreed. |
