This shiz is crazy ya'll.
Last week, Michelle was at the bottom for having created a t-shirt and pants when Nina specifically said no shirt and pants. To be fair, we think Michelle's was the best looking one last week. Also, it was pretty obvious that they weren't going to eliminate last week because they eliminated 2 people in a previous episode. In other words, when Heidi said that Michelle gets to stay but will have to fight for her life, we know it's the producers trying to create drama by punishing Michelle for not following directions. Look, if you think that a designer did not meet the criteria of a particularly vague challenge and judging session, then eliminate her, even if she is the front runner. But don't punish her just to make her cry.
In any case, this week the designers were each sent to a fashion capital in Europe except Michelle, who has to stay in New York. Boohoo. Daniel went to Berlin, Stanley to London, Patricia to Paris, and Layana to Barcelona. Sure, it was unfair that Michelle was being punished and didn't get to go to Europe, while Richard, that talentless hack, goes to London for free. But, silver lining, friends. Michelle doesn't have to deal with jetlag and she gets to shop at Mood, where they have everything and where she gets to buy amazing textiles for under a thousand bucks.
Those in Europe, on the other hand, have to deal with stores that don't even sell leather or are simply too expensive for their budget. But enough of the drama, let's go to the clothes.
I think Michelle's was clearly the winner. Hers not only met the challenge requirements - inspired by her city of assignment and must look expensive - it was also the most modern and beautiful. That breast plate looked luxurious and unique. And still, it was all very Michelle. Somehow the judges have a thing against Michelle and they continue to screw with her and give the win to Stanley.
Stanley's was meh for me. Sure, it was exquisitely tailored, but it was boring as hell. His model looked like a classy widow.
Daniel's I just don't love. The problem I think is that he loves to over-praise his designs before actually making them. If I had to drink every time he had said that his work would be original, young, modern and out of the box, I'd be comatose in a hospital by now. Still, it was better than most of his other work, skewed, old, and soap operatic. But, this is nowhere near original. It's a friggin' jacket!
Oh Patricia. Yes, yes, it's unique, and she has a talent for creating her own textiles. But c'mon! Are you kidding me? This.is.ugly. Plain and simple, ugly! When Heidi said she would wear that trash bag of a dress on the cover of Marie Claire, Nina said, no you wouldn't. But since Heidi is a producer, her voice won over reason and Patricia gets to go to Fashion Week.
And it's goodbye to Layana, you annoying, spoiled little beyotch. While I think your jacket was a little pretty, the sleeves were a giant mistake.
So what do you think of the final 4? See next week at the final runway!
