People raved over her technical skill, but I never thought it was as good as people claimed, and I thought she had little to no design capabilities. Like most people who saw her season, I thought she was a bitch and that her design skills were vastly overrated. The back was pretty, but not so much that Casanova deserved a spot in the top three. Maybe they’re trying to overcompensate for the fact that aside from his ridiculous personality and thick accent, he’s got basically no business being called an “All Star.” Regardless, I thought the “leather” looked more like trash bags, and the thick trim where the sleeve stops looks kind of cheap and disjointed. I don’t know why on earth the judges raved over this beyond ordinary and not particularly well-executed look. If nothing else, I know I can count on Wendy to provide the laugh-out-loud moments – when I’m cackling as her looks come down the runway. How she could even think to put a patch of lace over just the crotch of the dress is unfathomable to me. Just when you thought the infamous Wendy Pepper was going to shock us all with a perfectly chic (if not particularly innovative) black cocktail dress – SHE ADDED A MERKIN. The draping is, as expected from Uli, perfectly effortless and beautiful, but the frippery around the neckline is too distracting and not particularly pretty. ULI HERZNERĮverything about the design and construction is classic Uli – that’s not a bad thing, but she didn’t win her season because the judges feared she was a one-note, so this doesn’t bode well for her proving them wrong. Then again, with everyone trying to be cohesive and essentially blend in with the crowd, there weren’t too many particularly memorable looks from this runway show. The lace detailing on the back is equal parts strange and pretty, but it wasn’t a particularly memorable look. I think the front of the dress is lovely, but I knew as soon as I heard the words “Nine West accessories wall” that this season’s styling was going to take a serious dive in quality. It seems a lot of designers were reticent to try anything too daring this early in the competition, particularly when there’s no immunity and still a good chance of skating through to the safe zone. But I think she made a perfectly good look, if an “I’m aiming to be safe” sort of look. Guest Judges: Rachel Roy and Mondo, winner of All Stars Season 1.įor someone who made it so far in her season, I remember astonishingly little about Althea. And that’s how you end up with Emilio safe and Casanova in the top when that truly defies logic. It drives me insane to have to make believe that the judges are selecting the best and worst looks on the runway when they’re not. I don’t mind a team challenge, except when the producers feel it’s necessary to make only the winning team eligible for the Top 3 and only the losing team eligible for the Bottom 3. The Challenge: In two teams, create a mini-collection based on an “attitude,” or just any vague word that could basically describe anything. There’s no rest for the Runway weary, dear readers – Season 2 of All Stars has begun!
