This episode was jam- packed. Eliminated designers, avant- garde, parties, past contestants and DOUBLE ELIMINATION!!! That's right! Two people are going home this week!
Heidi appeared on the runway wearing a simple black dress and tight black pants. Is it just me, or has Heidi been wearing A LOT of black this season?
Before announcing the challenge, Heidi brought out some special guests. Guess who it was! The eliminated designers! Thankfully, none of them had the opportunity to get back in the competition. They were just there to help the remaining designers with their garments.
The designers were lead back to the workroom, where Tim was waiting. He informed them that the challenge was to create an avant- garde* outfit inspired by either their own or their partner's astrological sign. Tim assigned the partners by pulling names out of a bag.
*Avant- Garde Definition:
A group or work that is innovative or inventive on one or more levels: subject, medium, technique, style, or relationship to context. (In other words, an over- the- top outfit)
Oh, and later in the episode, the designers went to a party to showcase their designs to the judges and previous PR contestants (Including Jay McCarrol, Daniel Vosovic and Christian Siriano!!!). At the end of the party, the previous contestants voted for their favorite garment. The garment with the most votes was the winner.
Now, on to the runway!
Top Four: Korto, Leanne, Joe and Jerrel
Bottom Four: Kenley, Suede, Terri and Blayne
Winner: Jerrel
Eliminated: Terri and Blayne
My Favorites:
1.Joe 2.Leanne 3.JerrelJoe's garment was most avant-garde out of all of them. It was chic, it had volume- and although it wasn't perfect, it was definitely the best.
Leanne's garment was nice, but a little strange. I could definitely see the inspiration of scorpio, but I didn't understand the black piece over the dress. What was that?
Jerrel was this week's winner. The skirt was nice, but the outfit wasn't over- the- top enough.
My Least Favorites:
1.Kenley 2.Terri 3.SuedeKenley created floral skirt and a purple plaid top with a patent leather bustier. The strange part? I think you can see it yourself. The shoulders were HUMONGOUS. I could see her attempt to be avant- garde, but the look turned out to be more ridiculous than high- fashion.
Terri was eliminated, (along with Blayne.) Her dress looked cheap, and the sleeves were just horrible.
Suede's outfit was the worst. It was awful. It looked messy and poorly made. Nothing about it said avant- garde, either.
Blayne is out!
Admittedly, his outfit was a little crazy. The neon ruffles were just too much. They started at her shoulder and went all the way down the side and wove through her leg. However, I appreciate that he took a risk and attempted to make an avant- garde outfit. We'll miss you, Blayne- licious!Auf weidersehen, Blayne and Terri!
