I love my education, and if you look at my portfolio before and after SCAD, it is like night and day and day and night! It is literally DAY and NIGHT! I’m proud of my portfolio because I had done a lot before SCAD, but I think I just evolved as an artist. I think it gave me the words to go back and bring it to life. I’m talking about like why you chose the space and what was the inspiration. I had that foundation of architecture at SCAD, and that really took me to the next level of standing in front of your peers and breaking down the space in architecture form. But, it’s cheaper to mass produce something that doesn’t have an underwire, so this is the garment that won.We had classes where we would have to go to a gallery and articulate on a paper what we thought of it, and I think that really helped me. Everything about it was poorly fit and poorly sewn, and the concept wasn’t as brilliant or architectural as the judges would have us believe. The photos don’t even do justice to the “held together with spit and a prayer” vibe that this garment displayed on the runway. I think the underwear doesn’t really fall in the right place – it seems to start halfway up the model’s back, and come down to just above the middle of her ass – but I like the colors, and the concept of the sheer panty on top of the thong. It still looks like she had ten times as much time to create her look as Blake did for his. Not too shabby, considering Lindsey sliced her hand open with scissors and had to leave the workroom for a tetanus shot and a stitch in the middle of the workday. And what is that coverup – a cape? If you’re going to dress up as a sexy superhero, good for you, girl, and your nerdy partner is in for a TREAT, but there are about a billion better ways to do it than this. I cringed every time I looked at those panties, knowing we’d be getting more than an eyeful of vulva if the model didn’t have nude undergarments on beneath them. I’ve started to find Laurie’s personality adorable (well, I did, until she mentioned she finds Blake’s childish behavior “hilarious”), but I can’t say her aesthetic is living up to that. She was as useless as a D-list starlet usually is in this situation, though the challenge really just called for a guest judge who would blindly agree with Heidi. The producers’ excuses for getting Tim Gunn into increasingly absurd outfits are getting thinner by the week. Oh, and there was a sleepover on the runway. Even if the models’ bodies were complimented or critiqued equally, and those comments got edited out, this was all-around unpleasant to watch. Dear fellow white people: PLEASE STOP IT. Then the judges started remaking about a black model’s butt (which was, it should be noted, the only body part that got special commentary from the judges). I sat in full cringe mode the entire time, even as the judges were discussing garments, and not bodies, because the handsiness of the situation was really difficult to watch. As Zac Posen for once wisely and as always sarcastically said, “good luck.”Īnd speaking of women’s bodies, has there ever been a more uncomfortable post-runway “up close and personal” with the models’ garments? The judges simply could not keep their hands off the models’ breasts – and not for necessity of explaining something about the bra itself. As is Blake, who again seems to think his short-sighted, offensively selfish outlook on the world is simply adorable, as he boasts about being a womenswear fashion designer who understands virtually nothing of women’s undergarments or bodies. As if this show hasn’t done enough to stoop to America’s Next Top Model‘s level, now we’ve got Heidi going full Tyra all over the place. The winning look will be sold as part of Heidi’s line, which I guess is the excuse for plastering Heidi’s nearly-nude body all over every wall of the workroom. The Challenge: The designers are tasked with creating lingerie inspired by Heidi’s lingerie line, of course, and later, they’re told to design a robe or cover-up to go with it. Welcome to another episode of America’s Next Top Panty Designer that Heidi Will Steal From!
