FAVOURITES:
Fade: He is my number one designer, I just love how creative and sophisticated he is with his designs. He works so well with manipulating his fabric as shown in the suit challenge which I thought he should totally have been on top. What makes me angry is how underrated he is, it seems like the judges never see beyond tacky fringing and pinstripes to real glamour. He does remind me a lot of previous PR winner Dimitry as they both have that exotic touch (and were both pretty much ignored in the first few rounds). Any how I'd really like to see more of his work in the previous episodes to come and I hope the judges will finally give him some credit to the level of work he is presenting.
This is my favourite look from him so far:
Samantha: She is another one of the underrated designers who I really happen to like, firstly omg her personality is such a breath of fresh air, perhaps the only designer in the house who's not constantly having a dig at others failing designs.
I feel like her aesthetic is the closest to mine with lots of use of muted colours and youthful silhouettes, I would wear her clothes in a heartbeat. But I feel like the practicality of her designs will eventually go against her because she does not always interpret challenges in the most creative way, and PR judges being themselves will totally fail to appreciate those who don't take risks. I hope she incorporates more colour and patterns into her designs soon because I really hope this doesn't handicap her in future episodes. Nonetheless I'd hope to see her at fashion week as she really does represent the younger generation of designers.
other designers I hope to see at fashion week: Sean (NZ represent!!!) and Char, they both have strong visions and can create polished looks to support it.
LEAST FAVOURITE:
Amanda: I honestly never appreciated her style. IMO everything she makes is drunk hippy barbie. And that's possibly all I have to say about her aside from the fact that I question the judges taste on making her the teacher's pet.
Seriously. enough said.
Mitchell: If he only spent as much time on his garments than he did at bitching about other designers...mayyybe he'd do a bit better. Frankly I don't think he has any taste at all.
