2/13 The Art of Fashion

[animalcrackers]

i looooved christian's outfit and jillian's outfit. she is all about those jackets all of a sudden. i am glad that those two made it to bryant park!

i didnt like the rami & chris mini-competition twist. rami shouldnt have gotten bryant park. he did the same thing the entire season! have a little creativity man!

TEAM CHRISTIAN! FIERCE!

[RachWho?]

I agree, AC, it was clear that Jillian and Christian had it in the bag to make it to finals. Poor Sweet P--she can make a sweet little dress, it's just not the dress of the next big designer.

I am so fucking sick of Rami's draping that I might just vomit if he beats out Chris for the finals. Last night the PR poll was something like, "How do you feel about Rami's draping?" and 28% said, "Keep on draping!" which leads me to believe that 28% of PR viewers are severely disturbed and/or mentally challenged.

I wanted to kick his face in when he said he didn't have any other choice than to make a Grecian sculpture-inspired draped piece. REALLY? That's weird, because the other finalists were also in the European painting and Egyptian rooms. Poor Rami was only let into the one room! Asshat!

Oh, and if anyone other than Christian wins this whole thing, I'll know PR has jumped the shark. Christian has the most talent of all of them, and he has always backed up his awesome bitchy attitude with that awesome talent. Whatever "IT" is, he has it. And I would just like to stick him in my pocket.

I think Rami wet his pants in the museum with all those Greek statues. He doesn't even deserve to be there. Sweet P had a great idea going in but even I could have made that dress avant garde! Chris disappointed me with his remake, but the judges were right when they said that he can entertain. Christian is certainly the most talented of the bunch. Jillian has made some great outfits, but can you imagine her as a spokesperson for the show or bringing her back to inspire them on a challenge?

[tvkitty]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee my Christian's in the finals. I'm so excited. I also was jumping off the couch pumping my fists in the air when they said Chris was in... then they say Rami was in too and my exact response was sitting back down and "oh". Rami can't design anything other than a draped Toga. It is soooooooooo boring. I will be so disappointed if he beats Chris.

I am definitely pulling for Christian to win. I agree w/ the fact that he does have the skill and attitude to be a star-- and as for wanting to put him in your pocket, I told my boyfriend last night that I wanted Christian to be my little pet :)

I am kind of worried still that they may do the whole "he's young and needs to develop more as a designer" (which will be complete bs cuz he is the most developed of them all)

[Pegster]

I can't believe they let that one-hit wonder Rami slide through. It should have been Chris - at least he's shown creativity throughout the competition.

So proud of my little biotch, Christian. I'd be very surprised if they did the "he's young & needs to develop more as a designer", because he has proven that is not the case. I can't see that anyone can beat him at this point.

[basia.mille]

I'm really happy Cristian and Jillian made it. They have been consistently great. But I'm not that enthusiastic about either Rami or Chris. Chris is very tacky and hit and miss and I honestly can't remember any of his designs except for the two with huge floppy collars. Like everyone said, Rami is a one note. I really don't get why either of them are still there. I suspect Rami is going to make 12 grecian gowns of different lengths and colors. And Chris is going to throw together some body wraps of underdeveloped style. I must be the only one who just doesn't care for Chris!

I'm excited to see what kind of stuff is going to come out of Christian's head. What makes him so great is his audacity to do something different and his talent and skill level to make it appealing instead of offensive. And this time he's going to have an extended period of time to get it all done. It's gonna be fierce.

I hated Jillian's dress. I thought it was trashy and tacky. And I kinda almost hate her, too. Ha! My feelings about her are as boring and blase as she is.

The outfit that Christian designed is exactly the same as a fashion poster I had hanging up in the 70s. Even the little cape thingy. Oh, and I also had one of those conquistador statues that were all the rage at the time. A light bulb just went off above my head about those puffy-sleeved styles from the 70s. Duh. Anyway, Christian's outfit was cool but it wasn't exactly something new. Neither were Rami's or Chris's. The only one that was different was Sweet P's but it wasn't exciting or inspired, in my opinion.

I'm glad that Chris has a second chance at the finals. Well, I guess it's his third chance, since he got auf'ed before. I'm gonna go look at the spoilers again and try to figure out if Rami (gag) or Chris made it as the third competitor.

I'd be happy if Christian or Chris wins.

This may be the most worst group of finalists of PR ever, I think. I love Chris, but he doesn't deserve to win; I hate Rami and Jillian so if they win I'm going to choke myself with a Grecian-inspired trenchcoat; and Christian probably is the most talented but he's also not as funny as he thinks he is, nor as original as he thinks he is. As jamp pointed out earlier, all his work is throwback to the 70s or 80s. He is just very fast so all his stuff looks very well made, which is why I think the judges always drool over him.

So bottom line, I don't think any of these yahoos are better than the top 3/4 of seasons past. (Exception: Wendy Pepper :D) Even some of the early contenders from seasons past could wipe the floor with these guys... (Malan, Daniel B, and Uncle Nick all come to mind-- I think against this group any of those guys could win hands down.)

[lennonwhore]

I was so happy that Chris made it through. I don.t understand how his ONE repeat of the season was somehow just as bad as ALL of the repeats Rami has had this season...can anyone explain that?

I like Christian, just because he is talented and his personality is pretty funny - but I just don.t want him to win. Umm, and yeah, HATE Jillian. Talk normally!

[chooch850]

Okay..... so the point is to get to show your collection at Fashion Week, right (plus the prizes for the winner), but all the designers want to show there. We have 5 people left. Sweet Pea is out. but they are giving Chris and Rami a chance. Only one will go to Fashion Week with Christian and Jillian, right?..... so why then do they have them all make a collection, all 5. and they all show at Fashion Week and 2 are decoys!!! What do they do when the decoys come down the runway with their collection. Tell everyone to turn around and not look, cuz their clothes are fake to fool the public till the show airs???? It seems to me, they all made it to Fashion Week and got to show their designs. Am I wrong?

[giffordsaz]

Chooch youare spoiling me here. this i something I have stayed away from because I don't want to know before it happens!

[chooch850]

I didn't think I was spoiling. They do it every season, send decoys to Fashion Week so we as viewers don't know who won..... I have no idea who won or even who the final three are.....

[giffordsaz]

oh, i guess i was jumping the gun... sorry, i had a late night and early morning.. what's new?

[jampony]

It seems to me, they all made it to Fashion Week and got to show their designs. Am I wrong?
That's how I feel, too. All five of them get a chance to show at fashion week so they're all "winners". But it's interesting that every year they add another person. Will it be six next year? Or seven?

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Either I misheard but... I thought they said Rami and Chris would each show the best three pieces from their collections to the judges. The judges would pick from those items to determine which of the two men would make it on to show their entire collections at Fashion Week on the Runway.

Did I hear wrong?

[JulieM]

That's what they said Miss Tink

[lestermaddox]

All five of them showed at Fashion Week and you are right Tink - there is supposed to be a Runway-off between Chris and Rami (so lame IMO, since Chris has been innovative and creative this season and Rami just drapes the same damn thing over and over) to see which three show on TV.

Come on judges - have a bit of backbone and make a decision. This whole run off thing is tickin me off.

[ChoonnaMoge]

yes please dude
am i gonna have to disasemble it and plug up the holes or do they sort out where it gets covered?
