apocalypsos-- Let's start with the good part, which is that Dmitry won one! Yay for Dmitry! And I'm so glad he got it for making separates, and for that wonderful jacket. I am still trying to figure out how he did that. It was gorgeous.
-- Also, I was afraid Sonjia's pants would turn out awful, so I was very happy that they were lovely as well.
-- Okay, now.
WHAT THE FUCK?! VEN OVER GUNNAR?! AFTER ALL THE PERFECTLY VALID POINTS THE JUDGES MADE ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH HIS DRESS AND HIS PREVIOUS DRESSES AND GOING SO FAR AS TO CALL TIM GUNN OUT?! VEN?! OVER GUNNAR?!?!
... seriously, though, I can't handle this. Partly because I hate Ven, and partly because I've seen the photos of the Fashion Week collections and he's still doing those fucking flowers. They're still there! He learned nothing.
Oh, and another reason I cannot deal right now? Because Gunnar's FW collection is fucking unbelievably beautiful. It's African-inspired, and all of his models are women of color (which, let's face it, lots of designers would have no trouble not doing with an African-inspired collection), and it's my goddamn favorite and it turns out to be a bloody DECOY.
See, this is why I keep hoping that one of these seasons, they'll do what I've been hoping they'd do, which is make use of these decoy collections for that final Fashion Week challenge that pops up. Like, sure, they pick a final three, but then they wait until they come back to the show to say, "So we have a final three, but we'll be showing four collections." And then let them all gape at they drag in the last four or five designers left to say, "These designers have also spent the past few months designing collections to keep prying eyes from guessing just who the final three will be. And since they already have collections to present, why not allow them the opportunity to win again?" So then whichever decoy collection was the best got to present with the top three, and if they clearly had a collection that was better than every single one of the final three's collection, they would win.
I mean, yeah, it's manipulative as fuck, but OMIGOD, I would cheer, especially considering how often at least one of the decoy collections turns out WAY better than the top three's collection combined.
As it stands now, though, I'm rooting for Elena. I KNOW, but having seen her Fashion Week collection (which, quite honestly, looks like she styled with help from Sonjia -- you'll understand when you see the lipsticks), I loved hers the second best.
-- Gunnar and Christopher hugged, and I may have spontaneously orgasmed. GET MARRIED, MAKE BABIES. Ugh, those boys. I want to pick them up and bang them together like when you'd try to make your Ken and Barbie dolls kiss.
Can this be like Daniel and Wesley in season five, and later on we'll find out they're engaged and designing together, except without the unhappy ending where they break up?
