LOL He referred to them as clam shells, very mermaidy.

I think tat boy was the only one that really "got" the idea of couture - which, as far as I can tell, means "nothing a real person would ever wear." His looked like the weirdo stuff one sees in some big name fashion shows where that's what goes down the runway and what it means for real people is that cotton, plaids, and long skirts with walking slits are in. Everyone else seemed to really be making red carpet dresses. If someone wore tat boy's creation on the red carpet, they'd be on the fugly gals' site immediately. Whereas Kayne's dress would have been fabulous and everyone would have raved.

Are these filmed over a long period of time? Because Laura seemed noticably more pregnant here than she was when they flew out.

I read "Tim's Take" on the Bravo website. It helped explain what "couture" is, mainly that it must involve certain elements, such as hand sewing or beading.

I missed the episode, but read the recap and saw the photos. I would say that I like Uli's dress a lot from the photos.

Snowflake · 09-13-2006, 05:59 PM

So? Is tonight the night Laura get's auffed? Or will Kayne be the one who goes?

Laura, Uli, Kayne, Tat Boy and Michael are left, who's next? Laura has not won a single challenge, but Kayne, unless he keeps pulling himself together (like he did for the last one) might come up with some other horror.

Well, I am caught up. I watched the Couture segment (LOVED Tat Boy's gown!), liked Laura's but agreed that it was a St. Laurant knock-off, and thought Uli's was dull (but it looked great on the French model). I thoght Vincent needed to get "Auf'ed" for that poorly designed and poorly constructed thing.

That episode was followed by this week's episode. WTF? Has anyone else seen it?

I'm not going to write about it just yet because I'm too lazy to use spoilers and this is really spoiler worthy, IMHO.

Soon.

Yes, I watched it yesterday. I agreed with the final outcome of the episode all around. The stuff that belongs in spoilers really kind of irritated me, but no harm-no foul in the end.

Saw an interesting preview for the next show (I think they're taking next week off, but maybe they're doing the reunion show? I SUPPOSE I could go look it up - nah, not going to happen tonight) - something about not taking 3 designers to fashion week.

Snowflake · 09-14-2006, 07:01 PM

I just watched it.

It's been enough time - I'm not using spoilers.

I think Laura's dress was different from other things she'd designed, not necessarily different from what's out there in the world. Most women over 40 would not wear a baby-doll style dress, and most of the other stuff she's designed has been stuff she would wear.

But why does designer have to be for 'young' women?

I was almost relieved when Vincent and Angela totally played to form - so there was no worry about them winning and having 2 designers who were there rightfully, go.

I think they made the right decision in who to eliminate, but if they'd had to eliminate two, Tat' boy was right there. I AM over 40, but there's no way I see that as appropriate attaire for a cocktail party.

Snowflake · 09-16-2006, 12:27 PM

I loved this

Not Afraid · 10-11-2006, 08:20 PM

I don't remember what I last commented on, but I've been keeping up - a miracle for me and anything on TV. I so can't wait for next week but I really hope what they are trying to imply happens really happens.

Since I saw this week's episode on East Coast feed, I'll use spoilers:

Snowflake lost in the fog Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: San Francisco Posts: 7,831	I just watched it. Spoiler: Uli was very predicatable, I agree with the judges on this one, again with the flowing beach dress and again with the pattern. Kayne did not adhere to the rules, black and white, I felt his dress was more cocktail worthy than Tat Boy's strange creation. Oh, those leggings.... After Laura's pity party, I thought she'd be auf'd, but her dress was lovely and I loved the bag. She deserved to win this one, I think. Can someone explain to me what was so different and young about it? If she had not won this one, she would be the next one gone as this was the first challenge she won. Michael, I think will win this thing in the end, he has far too much taste and ability not to. Vincent and Angela, well clearly she did not see the couture episode, that collar was just hideous and more damn fleurshons. Gotta love the fact that Vincent is totally in love with himself. I can appreciate the benefit of winning a previous challenge, but I don't think either Angela or Vincent deserved a second shot at the top prize. __________________ Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. - Oscar Wilde

I so can't wait for next week but I really hope what they are trying to imply happens really happens. Since I saw this week's episode on East Coast feed, I'll use spoilers: Spoiler: Laura accused Jeffrey of having outside help (beyond what is acceptable) to stitch his garmets. Of all the bit of the 4 collections I've seen, I'm most excited about seeing Jeffrey's. It is varied, fun, edgy and professional. He's a style maker not just a stylist - which is what the other designers seem to be. Laura does clothes that I would feel comfortable wearing, but I don't love to look at them. Uli's clothes are fine for a certain lifestyle, but she is not "America's next designer". Poor Michael - who has looked so strong thus far - seems to have gone to my Mother closet and pulled off all of her gold baubles. I guess I want the winner to create new looks, not just variations on an old theme -and Jeffrey seems to do that. Who cares if I could only personally wear 1 or 2 of his pieces, he seems to be inspired and would inspire me - which is what I love about fashion. The editing of next week's preview makes it seem that Jeffrey gets disquaified, but it could be purely the way it was edited. I hope that is not the case after seeing what I saw of his collection.
