Okay first my general comments:
Jeffrey deserved that win more. As Kors noted, his garment actually moved. And it looked great. I like Michael and his design was good, but Jeffrey's was better.
Allison should have stayed, Vincent should have gone.
I hate Laura. I've said it before, she's a one trick pony. Her designs can be beautiful and I like them, but it's the only thing she can do. "She designs for herself," as Kors said. Why don't they admit that that's a fault. They certainly complain about contestants not designing for the client--why not with her?
Now my rant:
I am sickened by Heidi Klum's assertion that Allison made her model look like "a plus-size model". She (the model) looked like she was wearing a size 4, for f---'s sake. Plus size? Thank you for supporting all of those horrible beliefs that women must be 5'10" and 120lbs to be beautiful. We can chalk up another dozen 13 year-olds having anorexia to Klum's dumb ass. And thank you for so horribly insulting any woman who doesn't fit a size 4 or smaller. Apparently in Klum's world they would be grossly obese or something.
Yes, I know this is supposed to be about haute couture (but then why design using trash or plants?) but if they want a challenge, try designing for 5'7" 160lbs and a 38F chest. Or even the average American woman who probably wears a size 10 or 12 rather than the size 0 or 2 that these models wear. Btw, next week's challenge is supposed to be for the everyday woman (I can't remember their exact words). What sort of fantasy-world "average" women will it be?
I really wish someone, any of the designers (especially the women) would have bitched them out over this crap. Not even to their faces, but at least to the camera after. Please someone have some tiny shred of a grasp on reality.
