Chris' work was fucking bad-ass! He was robbed, and I seriously question the artistic integrity of the judges.
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You kind of knew Chris was doomed when he pulled out the human hair.

But this is my point -- this is a show where the designers are constantly told to think outside the box, and constantly challenged to work with odd materials. Chris took all of the lessons from the show and pushed them to the Nth degree. To paraphrase a friend of mine, Chris made art. Rami just made clothes.

I'm not arguing (and in fact, I took a shower during the bit where the clothes were shown, and only came back for the judging). I'm just saying, he had the doomed edit. Especially when Heidi said "Rami, you showed us something new!"

Because books.
I honestly wasn't sure where the ick came from with the hair. The best wigs are made from donated human hair, yes? And you wear that right on your head.
I did think the second dress -- the little cocktail one -- didn't work with the hair skirt. Fringe I could have seen, or even more lace, but the hair seemed too uneven and hung funny. I loved the dress otherwise, though.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, all Rami had to do to make the final three was show something that wasn't draped. When he did that, I should have known that it didn't matter WHAT Chris did.
I console myself by thinking that Chris did get to show at fashion week and I hope that he gets some excellent opportunities as a result.

Perzactly. In fact, I think I said the same as soon as these two "tied". Arrrggg. Rami's coat was horrible. It has TOO much going on. But, WOW, it wasn't draped.
Again, I think back to Heidi's Oscar gown - wonder if Rami designed that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm bitter. Fuck it. I love Chris and that ain't gonna change. I think all four should have been in PR's finale. Why not?
He showed anyway.

Check out his whole collection. I think he should have showed the blue dress. I think that is a STUNNER.

That is gorgeous! I love the dark blue velvet piece after it too.
What a lovely collection.
