HOMG!!! I just finished it and I'm FREAKING OUT! Literally, I'm still crying a little bit . . . from joy.
Biddell SO deserved to win. His collection was amazing and innovative and everything the judges said. I loved his inspiration and his execution and just . . . it blew me away. I was reeeeallly worried about him when he showed up and still had half a collection to finish, but that's sort of his thing . . . doing amazing work under pressure. And to be fair, from passing comments and such, I kind of got the feeling that his living situation outside PRC was a little more dire than he let on. So, also for that reason, I'm glad he won, because unlike Lucian I don't think he would have had the resources to continue on in fashion if he hadn't.
And speaking of Lucian . . . I felt exactly the way you did about his collection. GORGEOUS, but not something I would necessarily want to wear. I really admired the effort and discipline he put into it though. And he made Rita cry!
MG . . . she's grown on me. Her collection was not at all my style, but I was really impressed by it anyway. I wish she would have done the glasses and flats on ALL the models, because that was awesome *g*
But the real amazingness? LUCIAN/BIDDELL FTW! ZOMG Before this I just wanted them to have angry!sex, but NOW! Now I want to write this epic verse where they get a house together and they're both amazingly successful designers and they're all snarky and competitive with each other, but it's just a front for how much they care and they have angry!sex that's not really that angry, but it's REALLY HOT and . . . and *flaily hands* And Lucian is totally the top Y/N?
And in conclusion to this epic comment that you are probably a bit freaked out by, DEFINITELY the best PR finale ever. But I'm still a Jay McCarroll fangirl
