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!!

I kind of figured that Sweet-P would be eliminated. She's awesome but did not put it out there or the final challenge. I wish she had gone for an Avante Gard piece. It's unfair that she did not get something for the frustration of not having her model show until very late. I'm glad they told her she's talented. I hope she heard it.

I liked Jillian's design. It had a bit of flash that surprised the judges and was nicely done, especially given that her biggest enemy is time. I love that the guest judge said he'd hire her. Hope she got his email.

At first it looked like Christian had bitten off more than he could chew. But he pulled through with a nice outfit that was at least what they had been asked to do. You could see the resemblance to the inspirational work.

Chris' piece was good. but not much of a stretch for him. I wish he had done more than he had, I agree with Tim when he said that it was not finished. But it was good enough to impress the guest judge. It was funny to see the other judges reverently disagree with him.

Rami's dress was nice, but honestly, not his best. His colour choice was dead on, though at first I worried that it would not fit the piece. Of course everyone knows what Rami's problem is. He has a reputation for draping everything. In and of itself this is not a bad thing (I mean how many poofy shouldered jackets has Christian made without criticism) but if someone who hold your future in his hands tells you that they want to see something else from you... do something else!

I thought Rami's dress looked a little Jane Austen couture...It must have been the empire waist, color and drape combination.
