![]() ![]() Christian gasps when he sees Rami’s fabrics. All you can be is yourself, come what may. She’s not sure how to reconcile the judges’ comments, particularly last week’s, but she seems to have her head on straight about how to proceed from there. “I feel like I’m damned if I do, and damned if I don’t.”ĩ:26pm - “Game plan this week is to be a grown-ass woman and continue to stick to my aesthetic, drapings that are me because I know who I am,” Korto continues. ![]() Christian tries to explain that the details of her look weren’t as ready apparent because she made it in black, but she’s been using color all season only to be called “safe” the one time she went for black. As for Korto, she has a “cool” concept of making a casual garment in more formal fabrics, but she’s still frustrated at having her look described as “safe” last week. Bishme needs to make sure the basic-hoodie half of his look is prominent enough so the design doesn’t just look to the judges like a gown. Laurence is oing to take a classic blazer and turn it into a trendy jumpsuit, but her ideas may be a little too complicated for a one-day challenge. The basic part of Bishme’s look will be a hoodie, but as a Black man, he knows he’s perceived differently just for wearing one, he has to reminds himself to take his hood down when he walks into stores so he won’t be looked at as a thief or a threat.ĩ:19pm - Christian arrives for his walkthroughs. As a woman, Brittany understands the no-win expectation to be sexy but not slutty or vain. I can’t even,” so her plan this time is to just stick to her aesthetic.ĩ:16pm - The designers each have their own understanding of the challenge. I’m too safe, but then I’m giving too much rah-rah-rah. “One minute my skirts are too long, next minute they’re too short. “This entire competition I’ve been in a double bind,” says Korto. Christian likes that idea, but he advises Korto to consider color instead of black. Brittany’s up looking for some stretchy lacy for the sexy part of her sexy/modest look. “Basic and bold” are abstract enough concepts for give him some flexibility.ĩ:10pm - One-day challenge, 30 minutes at Mood and $450 to shop with. ![]() As an advantage from winning the last challenge, Bishme has the opportunity to switch styles with someone else, but he decides to keep “basic and bold.” Good call, I think. You know, Laurence annoyed me earlier this season with her cockiness, especially when she was really dismissive of the “Toying with Fashion” challenge, but I’ve come to really appreciate her badass confidence. Brittany gets “sexy and modest.” Laurence is last and gets “classic and trendy.” “Classic and trendy? They’re talking about me so it shouldn’t be that hard,” she says. Prajje gets “elegant and edgy” - see, I feel like those more subjective categories would be easier to reconcile. Korto gets “formal and casual.” Rami gets “fitted and oversized” - not sure how that one’s gonna work since those really do seem like mutually exclusive categories. Bishme is first and gets “basic and bold.” Sounds like a good fit for him after last week’s winning sporty-bridal look he put together. The double bind “makes women in particular self-edit so they can fit in or fit the part, and it’s time for that to change.” So for this challenge, they’ll each create a runway look that showcases two styles.ĩ:06pm - Time to assign the opposing styles. But Elaine reminds them of the “double bind,” where a person is faced with contradictory demands or expectations. “Expressing yourself with style, personal flair, is really what fashion is all about,” Christian tells them. Christian Siriano greets the designers backstage and beckons them back to the runway where Elaine Welteroth is waiting for them. 9:04pm - “Kara Saun was truly the soul of this group,” says Korto upon her friend’s elimination, but the show must go on. ![]()
