PR4: Caravaggio Edition

[octothorpe]

Christian easily has the most innate talent of the group. His outfit was "him" (small pleats, poofiness, and always with an edge), but I think it extended his range, far more than Rami, who can't give us anything but the same old thing. I think I am going to die of barfness.

Jillian's outfit astounded me until the model was standing next to her, and the jacket seemed to fall apart, as if the only thing giving it any structure was the buttons that kept it closed. A bit of a shame, but a great effort.

While I *love* the drama created by Chris' outfit, all those wrinkles reminded me of paper, and when the model walked down the runway, I didn't see any movement, and that bothered me.

Poor Sweet P, that outfit was all wrong from the get-go. I think in the last couple of shows, she just ran out of steam.

And what about that end?

Discuss!!

what a waste of a perfectly good exhibit

Now that I think about it, I’m taking ten points off because no one did anything Egyptian.

Yeah, I was kinda cheesed about that as well. Then again, they were only in the Temple of Dendur (not Den-door', as they kept pronouncing it), which isn't really conducive to the inspiration of clothing design. If they were in the rest of the Egyptian wing, where you got to see actual paintings/carvings/etc, I'd be more upset about the group's lack of vision.

The designers were so in awe of the temple, though.  Even a neutral color palette might have made a difference for Sweet P.

what I thought was really strange was Chris and Christians' reactions to the museum. They are both out of NYC, so, um, WTF?

Granted, I live here as well, and I am still in awe of it.

I seem to remember someone making a comment in the interview package about the field trip to the effect of not knowing there was anything west of Madison Avenue…

Apparently there is a dense Upper East fog that sets in somewhere around Park Avenue.

Yeah, I usually don't go anywhere near midtown or above.

Oh, I dunno.  One of my old musical theater buddies used to have a sublet on West 96th at Broadway, but she was doing the revival of Candide at the Gershwin, so it was sort of convenient but not really.  Different artists work in different places.

I just caught this episode and totally agree. I was totally hoping Christian (or anyone) would go Egyptian.

If anything, it would have given Rami a chance to show a different perspective on draping…
