2 of 2

Hannah is wearing a boring sweater that’s nearly the same shade as her spray tan and an unremarkable skirt. Heidi would not be caught dead in such things. Christian Siriano, Kelly Osbourne and Aya Kanai all showed up for work this week.

Chelsea: She layered the stars so well, you almost can’t tell that’s what they are, except in a few places toward the bottom. It’s sheer genius. Christian calls the look very believable. Aya calls it “crafty, but not DIY” (She means this as a compliment.) Hannah wants to buy it. She is the final winner of the regular challenge period, and is the first through to the finale.

Izzy: The choice to go to a single neon color was the right one, and the white the dark pink ombre is head turning and eye catching without being horrifically overwhelmed or horrendously 80s. Kelly says the contrast between construction and fluidity is brilliant and she’s right. Hannah can’t see the ombre Aya is reminded of the red dress dancing girl emoji. She is also through to the finale.

Chris: I swear I owned all of that at age nine in 1987. And no, I never wore them at the same time. Aya is nice and calls it “athleisure” even though it’s not only basic, but boring. Kelly thankfully calls them pyjamas, but he is sadly in the top, and through to the finale.

Hawwaa: Yes it’s very 80s with the print mixed into the colorblocking, but the end result works shockingly well while screaming that it’s a Hawwaa design. Kelly loves it. Aya loves the sheer parts, including the turtleneck. Hannah is like “thank you, no” and compares it to the Joker. Christian points out that it looks like Hawwaa’s other designs.

Tieler: So take a 1970s velvet leisure suit and then put it through the 1990s rave movement , throw in the 2000 era high water bellbottom pants and cameltoe I can see from my comfy chair all the way across the room from my television, and you have one hell of a crash and burn looking outfit. Christian tries to be nice, blaming the choice to use white velvet. Kelly says the photograph of it against the mural makes it make sense, which is nonsense.

Molly: I already know they’re going to say the only visual interest is the cape. I’m going to add that the skirt looks like it’s made of cheap PVC raincoat plastic. (The skirt coming away to reveal the romper was a nice wow factor though). Aya is bored without color. Kelly points out the details don’t stand out. Hannah thought the reveal was unnecessary.

The issue for the judges is that over these last two weeks, Tieler crashed and burned. But the judges gave him win after win at the beginning of the season. It’s very obvious from the deliberations that at least some of them (Aya, Hannah) want to find a way to talk themselves into keeping him over Molly (who is clearly out) and Hawwaa (who doesn’t deserve to be). Molly is first dismissed, since that’s the one the judges agree on. And then…. no second elimination! Both are put both through to make collections, with the promise that only one will show along with the other three in the final runway show. Looks like we have a two part finale on our hands, starting next week.
