SEAN Gosh, he’s just so adorable and then, to top that off, he really, really, thinks outside the rain bonnet. He wants to make a dress with dye in the seams that, when it gets wet, it will change colors. Very cool; very Katniss Everdeen in Hunger Games.
Very daring. Tim, like the other designers, and most of the TV audience, is dubious that the idea will work, especially when Sean doesn’t even try it out first. But then, what was he supposed to do, run out onto 5th Avenue, hoping it’s raining, with a mock-up dress lined with dye? This could be bad.
WHAT HE SAID She immediately begins to change color when she spins. Wow.
WHAT I SAID What could you say? I replayed this catwalk several times, and each time marveling at the way the colors began to run. Gorgeous. Wow.
WHAT THE JUDGES SAID Heidi loved it. She said it was like the dress came alive on the rainway, and called it a unique, special moment. Guest Judge Caitlin Fitzgerald called it an exciting fairy tale and would have loved to wear it during a summer rain.
The Adorable Zac Posen™ said he thought it was bland at first — it was, after all, just a pretty white dress — and said the colors running could have been a gimmick, but that the risk totally paid off. He called it exceptional.
Nina Garcia said the dress took her breath away; she loves the way Sean thinks, and how he thought about using the rain tin his design; she called the whole thing a “performance” and loved the vinyl crinoline under the dress that kept the dyes off the model’s skin.
WHAT HAPPENED While Heidi and Caitlin think Kini should take the top, Nina and The Adorable Zac Posen™ think Sean should win.
And so, on a roll after a few bad weeks, Sean once again takes Top Honors … with a caveat named Kini.
KINI I like Kini, but I’m getting tired of his I should win attitude. I mean, sure, you want to win, but he thinks every week he should win, even when he’s a Bottom Skimmer like last week.
So, yeah, this week he steps it up and decides to create an upside-down umbrella skirt; he shows a wild, wide hat in his design, as well. Tim, while loving the concept, steers Kini away from a gimmicky embellishment idea about the handle of the umbrella running up the model’s back; good work, Mr. Gunn.
WHAT HE SAID I feel like my design really steps out of the box. I feel like I took it to the next level.
WHAT I SAID It’s like the Wicked Witch of the West in a New Oz. It’s kind of fetish-looking, but cool. I wished, though, that he’d used his original idea for the hat.
WHAT THE JUDGES SAID Heidi called it avant-garde, and a clever idea; and she was amazed by the sleeve-gloves. Caitlin said it was dominatrix-esque, but could also be a great Red Carpet look if it was toned down a bit; she also, thought the hat seemed more like an accident. The Adorable Zac Posen™ called it a Smurf hat but also just gushed about the look … You are so talented. You have such a skillful hand. You have great technique. It's a combination of Michelle Harper, a little McQueen in there -- it was so impactful when it came out … You brought it today. Big time. Settle, Zac, settle.
Nina called the look both sublime and dramatic, and said Kini also used the rain well; she liked the hat, especially since it kept the rain off the model’s face—Nina doesn’t want a model to drown on the catwalk unless she makes it happen!
WHAT HAPPENED Kini finally got his win, even though he shared it with Sean. |
