I was thinking about this this morning. The light of day, and all. BUt the diaper, while not a briliant idea (white? ill fitting?) had a lot going for it according to the judges. Michael said that she was on the right track, with the 'resort wear' vibe. Heidi pointed out that she could've sent a little dress down the runway, but that she took a risk. Nina said the jacket was quite beautiful (or pretty, I don't recall). Tim, and the judges, always say: take a risk. Don't play it safe. It's a shame when they don't reward it. Lip service. I mean, I liked Casanova's dress. But it was plain, a bit boring, and not what the challenge was about. And it was '80s Donna Karan. The only plus is that it looked very beautifully made. But for all of that, he got to be in the middle and took no flack.
I think I agree with the Auf last night though. The dress was poorly conceived and poorly made. It was a hot mess.
BUt I also think Kristin got screwed with that hat. It was so literal. You would've needed to have a huge pang of inspiration to know what to do about it, and you just can't get that in 10 hours if it doesn't come right away.
I think I would've gone with the cardboard dress for the win, but I do see what the judges saw in Michael's.
