The winner this week was Anya. I really like Anya. ( I was actually surprised she was not in the top last week since I loved her look) I am happy she won even though her dress was not my favorite. I like it, I just thought the black sleeve was a little weird it made the front look kind of boring, or like a sleeveless dress with a tee underneath or something, but the back is stunning, and I give her props. (I also love the print!)
The loser this week was Becky. I have to say this is fair, there just wasn’t much design here. and everything looks boring and perhaps a little sloppy. What I think really did her in (since her teammates looks were equally as bad) was that she said everyone told her the skirt was bad but no one told her what she should design instead, the point of the show is to be a designer, not just an amazing seamstress (which she is)
Some of my favorite looks this week were also from team chaos, the entire collection was really inspiring and I loved it all. I especially loved Anthony Ryan’s skirt, the fit is great and I love the ink blot… I may even try that.
I also really loved Bryce’s look. No one gave him enough credit but those shorts are amazing I love the pop of color that top brought to the collection and although I couldn’t get a picture of the back the back was amazing! (square like the rest of the collection)
I also really liked the elegance and ease of Viktor’s gown. It was so pretty and the flow was amazing and I really like the peekaboo back. It was a great way to round out the collection.
I do however think it is time for Viktor to get a new model. His model always bothers me because she always looks so put out to be on the runway. She should be “selling” the garment and she always has this “mug-shot” look on her face, that makes her look half way bored to death and half mad at the world…
Also Mr.”drama-queen-know it all-bully” Joshua, made one of the worst things I have ever seen. The pants are horrible and the fit that he claims is impeccable makes the model look fat. (it could be due to the hideous print) The jacket had hope but I think it needed a tight fitting top underneath other wise is just gets lost. You can tell by the jacket that the whole “clock cogs” idea was his due to some vision he had in his head and that everyone else went along with it. He is lucky to have made it through.
Next is Laura, who I really like but seriously if I see one more jumpsuit made on this show I may just have to stop watching.(ok not really I am addicted) but still Gretchen did several last season, and now this season they have already been done a few times (most of the time they are done badly like this one) I am just done with them trying to be passed like a new “fashion forward” idea, let’s all just move on.
Lastly Bert, grumpy old Bert. At the beginning I loved Bert, I thought he would be great and that he had something to show the world, now I am realizing, he really doesn’t… I think there was just a lot of hope there. Michael keeps saying “the man knows how to cut a garment” um what? this dress has no shape not even princess seams as Tim pointed out and it is puckering and pulling at every curve and bend. The length is pretty bad so maybe he meant that he knows how to cut the bottom of the dress off? It’s a weird length of skirt, especially with the boot. I guess the whole thing is just weird.
So what were your thoughts? Love it Hate it? Are you still bored to death or are you finally finding the designs inspiring? Who would you pick to win it all?

I loved everything from Team Chaos except the casual red top and maybe Oliver's ankle freezer pants. I'd buy the rest of the collection! I quite like Anya, but I would have given top honours to Viktor this week. So I really enjoyed this week for Team Chaos.<br /><br />Team Nuts and Bolts: what a disaster! Joshua and Bert: get over yourselves!<br /><br />I'm still a little sick of the

I personally loved teamed Chaos as well. My favorite designers are Anthony Ryan and Anya. I did really like Joshua, but the last few episodes he's been kind of dramatic and bossy. I was relieved to see Becky go home. I've had enough of her "poor me" attitude. And don't get me started on Bert. lol

I almost hoped for Joshua to go home. His attitude grates on my nerves. And I have to echo PP's remarks about the colors. Enough with black, white and gray already. Please bring back some colors. My favorite was the inkblot skirt as well. I want to try that with some fabric at home. I am thinking white fabric with maybe some pretty blue or green paint rather than plain ol' black.

I think Viktor should have won and I'm glad Becky is gone. She needed to! There's no way she could have handled the stress of preparing a collection for fashion week. I think Bert is the next to go although I do wonder if that will ever happen because I think Michael Kors secretly likes that there is a male designer close to this own age on the show for once. 😉
