Last night, I eagerly awaited the start of the new season of one of my all-time favorite shows. Now I wouldn't say that I was disappointed, but the new contestants didn't thrill me and all that crying seemed a little calculated. I mean...ok Johnny...you had a drug addiction...you're clean now...that is a rough ordeal...but do you really need to cry about it and think that you need to drop out before you even completed your first challenge?? If you were trying to air-time then...you are brilliant because it worked, but you dress doesn't stand out in my mind so next time maybe a little designing is in order and not so much teary drama?
There were three designers that stick out in my mind from last night's show. Obivously the winner, Christopher, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED his dress. Michael Kors hit it right on the button when he said it was both "edgy and cute." I believe Heidi was the one to say that his "soft" color looked a little dirty, but I liked it! The "dirty" color contributed nicely to the overly look and lends the ruffles a tougher vibe. I see Christopher doing great things as the season progresses.
Mitchell, although very, very close to being eliminated has great potential. His initial design left something to be longed for and after having to rework the entire dress...he was left with a muu-muu. Obviously he deserved to be in the bottom two, yet there was a certain je ne sais quoi about it. In a way, I think the 'reworked' dress was fresh and different, and in agreement with the judges I am very intrigued by what's to come.
The third designer I'm drawn to is Carol Hannah, the blond Southerner. Her self-described "pixie" type dresses that were shown in her bio were too cute! And the detail on her challenge dress was gorg! Although I have a feeling most of her designs will be very similar, I already love her aesthetic and hopes she sticks around for most of the season!
