PR4: Monkey House Edition!

I thought that Chris' designs ROCKED!!

Remi's designs were good, but I wasn't thrilled with the grey draped thing everyone else did.

::sigh::

Discuss!!

Seeing the human hair outfit (the one with the collar) walk down the runway was PURE FUCKING WIN!

I agree, that one was the best of the 3 he showed. I would have liked to see how the dress with the face print worked when in motion. Chris's collection had a better sense of couture with an edge while Rami's was more pedestrian, safe and not threatening to any sense of style.

And that's exactly why he won over Chris. According to design, Chris blew him out of the water. However, I don't think you can "deconstruct" those looks and turn it into something viable for the general market.

Of course, that's not Chris' intention at all. I don't think there is a "general" bone in Chris' body.

And yet, in any given challenge (spanning all four seasons), when the final two come down to "safe" or "over the top", they'll auf the one who played it safe.

Yeah... and it's always the reverse when it comes to Bryant Park. Fucking Chloe. ::shudder::

In the end, it's not about art, it's about making money. Remi's designs can be transformed and sold off the rack.

As the talent has risen in the pool of designers the signals the judges/producers send has become very mixed. They want couture and then they say deliver ready-to-wear. I have to fall back and remember this is a reality show and the producers want drama - which by the end of the run may mean cultivating audience anger/response.

The only satistisfaction is that Chris did get to show at FW but unless the TV audience does the web work they don't know that.

On every count Chris just had it all over Rami -
