He won last years all stars. Tonights show is the HP Print Challenge. Sometimes this can be cool...and sometimes it goes so very wrong! Some designs do not translate well as an all over pattern fabric, but some turn out pretty fantastic...so how did tonights come out...
First their heritage...which is what they are to build their textile around...is delivered by family members, so tears all around the room. They all get slideshows of their childhood and begin planning...
Dmitry...Using a traditional ornament for his design, wild but may be cool.
Gunnar...a bird breaking free of abstract hands as a symbol of the bullying he endured.
Ven...using hibiscus flowers, a lil plain.
Christopher...whining already...having a hard time because "he doesnt work with prints"
Off to mood...how fun would it be to shop here...or even just roam the halls....now back to Parsons with their purchases to begin creating...
UGH Christoper is whining again...just WORK!
Now they are heading back to Atlas for dinner with their families. I am sure this is a great boost for their energy...a great emotional recharge.
The next day the textiles have arrived. Some are wild and colorful, some are...hmmm...very interesting!
Time for Tim's critique...
I cant believe how Christopher is so lost. He has 2 dresses made because he doesnt know what he is doing...oh wait...we now have a direction.
Sonjia...I am not a fan of prints on pants...will have to see what it looks like after a top is added.
I kinda like what Ven is doing...UNTIL...Tim said his dress reminded him of a mentrual cycle...WHAT?!?! Wow that is harsh...and weird!
I like Melissa's print...but then I love anything red...it is a cool print, hope she isnt staying that boring on her dress.
Elena's scrub top is gross! Hate the print and dont like the look of what she is designing...oh but wait I dont like her either.
Now Gunnar is whining. I liked his drawing, but not liking what he is ending up with...and Tim doesnt like it either.
So back to the drawing board for some. Amazing how they can pull this off in such a short time.
Day of the Runway Show....
I do not like the makeover part...just a way for the shows sponsor to hawk their wares I suppose, but it doesnt fit in the show for me...so fast forward time....oh and dont forget to use the Lord and Taylor wall "thoughtfully"!
So lets see what my thoughts compared to the judges are...
Sonjia...It is ok, better than I thought, but I am not a fan of patterned pants...or wide leg pants.
Elena...I think it is a jacket, I dont care for it.
Christopher...plain and boring...and that zipper is hugely flawed!
Ven...I like Vens style. I know he does that fan a lot, but it is his signature. Very tailored.
Fabio. Too dark for me, and again I am not personally a fan of wide leg trousers.
Melissa...I like it, but nothing WOW about it. a nice basic "safe" dress.
Gunnar...I like it. Super cute outfit. I love the jacket.
Dmitry...I love the peek-abo cuts in the jacket showing the print of the shirt.
Elena and Fabio are safe...they scored in the middle.
So now we have the highest and the lowest scores...
Highest...
Melissa
Dmitry
Sonjia
Lowest...
Ven
Gunnar
Christopher
WOW I have no fashion sense at all! LOL
The winner of this challenge is Dmitry...and Gunnar is going home.
