Does she evoke ita to anyone else?
Yes, indeed. Or maybe "the girl" she designs for is very ita-like? Which kind of amounts to the same thing.

PR Good choice Tim Gunn.
I'm not a huge fan of Cornelius and I'm not sure if he's going to be able to stay out of the bottom but he was at an extreme disadvantage this week and I wish the judges had taken that into more consideration.
I really really loved Team Blue's collection and so glad Roberi won. I wasn't a huge fan of the skirt but that's a personal style issue but I LOVED the top. That top, Laurence's pants (she's selling me on drop crotch pants looking comfy and interesting although probably not my body type), and Rik's coat together would have been perfect.
Dexter and Erin were the worst kind of mean girls ever last night. I wanted to smack them repeatedly about the neck and chest. Ugh. I actually really loved Erin's coat, even the giant outside pockets, but that was pretty much the only thing from that collection that I liked. I was happy with the Tim Gunn save going to Cornelius, even though he's been getting on my nerves himself for quite some time now, if only to piss Erin and Dexter off.
I loved Team Blue's collection. Roberi's look was divine and I would wear it and he finally got a win so I was satisfied. I also really liked Rik's coat and Laurence's whole look! I really think Laurence and Roberi will be there at the end along with Erin, whom the judges seem to enjoy far more than I do.
I didn't get Team Neutral. Jenni's aesthetic is just not mine. The popcorn top was not to my liking. I did enjoy the pants, but she didn't make those, soooo. I was happy to see that Mah Jing was able to speak up for himself and the collection got better after he called out the issues he was seeing during the Tim Gunn critique, but I thought his dress was just alright.
I'm still enjoying this season a lot! Loved Kelly Osbourne on the panel. I wish she'd replace Zach.

Agreed. Cornelius' aufing was wrong, but the judges only got a hint of the backstory. Tim tried to let them know by telling them that there were two mean girls on the team, but they didn't get it. I had hoped that they realized that Cornelius had sacrificed when he gave up his look to make a more cohesive collection. But, that's what the Tim Gunn save is for.
I wish she'd replace Zach.
I wish that an empty chair would replace Zach. I so dislike him. Part of it is me missing La Kors, but Posen is a poor substitute.
I'm really sick of the judges blaming a bullied team member for getting bullied, and I think Tim is too.
I'm so mad at Heidi for that "but his look was the weakest" argument. It was supposed to be a COLLECTION not three independent looks and he did the most to support that. And the judges knew that just from who made what.
Loved the winning collection start to finish and glad Robert got the win. Liked the neutral collection just fine; I really enjoyed seeing them being so excited to get voted from the public! Didn't love Erin's pockets, but I did like that fabric and the plaid. I wish the red-violet team had used any violet.
I really like that Tim Gunn has been writing and speaking about the need to have more clothing choices for women size 14 and above ... pointing out that a large number of women in the U.S. are in that size range. It's depressing to go into a store and see all these nice clothes that mostly stop at 12 or 14 ... and the larger sizes offer fewer options and many of those are unattractive. I do wish he'd not take the position that the purpose of larger sizes would be to make the wearer look smaller/thinner. But I'll take what I can get.

Does he? I haven't watched the video that's been making the rounds. From what he's said at various times on PR, I would guess his position would be that clothes for any size should make the wearer feel good about wearing them.
Tim Gunn wrote an opinion piece for the newspaper and I saw a video - kind of a PSA - of him stating his position and he was talking about how designers have to not just make clothes from his collection larger, but adjust the proportions. Most of it is designing and making clothes for larger sizes but he finished both up with a brief mention of clothes that make you look thinner.
