i thought it was interesting that the judges kept stressing that so and so would put on a GOOD SHOW not that the clothes were necesarily the best. Of course, Christian was the hands down winner. I know they blasted Chris for his similar design to the past one, but he nailed the picture and i thought the dress was very haute couture. I was sad to see Rami stay, he's draped enough!

Christian's design was just FIERCE plain & simple and I'm really, really, really hoping that he wins this season. I love Jillian's sense of style as well but I need her to WOW me with her line @ fashion week. Remi ugh enough with the draping IMO he's very one dimesional. Chris would rock a Haute Couture show!!!!!! He needs to go work for Galliano.

This is from Rami's bio... "Rami began creating what would later be known as the "one of a Kind" collection that was picked up by various notable Los Angeles boutiques. A seasoned veteran in the arena of runway presentations, Rami has put on several memorable shows. In addition to his numerous seasons at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios, Rami was also honored with the Gen Art Alumni sponsorship to showcase his collection in the tents of Bryant Park for Spring 2003. Known for his dramatic red carpet gowns, Rami has dressed celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Fergie, Tyra Banks, Amy Smart, Erykah Badu, Lucy Lui, Tracee Ellis Ross, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Penelope Cruz and Shiva Rose. His designs have been seen on the pages of In Style, Flaunt, Vogue, Lucky, Elle, Angelino, Interview, People and Us Weekly. Rami was also commissioned to design the costumes for the March 2005 America’s Next Top Model add campaign that resided on billboards across the nation. Rami Kashou's designs can be found at High End notable boutiques in the United States and Europe including Inago, Bleu, Spool and Diavolina in Los Angeles - Twist and Curve in New York - Man Eaterthreads.com and Give & Take in San Francisco - Lola B in Tennessee - Le Train Bleu in Oregon - Scarlet Gold in Hamburg, Germany." Soooo why is he on this show? He's already established lol. And Jillian... "Jillian is currently working on her own label while consulting for several companies as a designer. Having worked as a concept designer and illustrator at Rugby by Ralph Lauren and as a designer at Searle, Jillian learned the skills of the fashion trade. At Searle, she experienced "the old-fashioned way of tailoring," and at Rugby she became "an expert at conceptualizing a full and balanced collection." And Christian... "Quickly adapting to the fashionable European lifestyle, he showed a small collection during London Fashion Week in Fall 2005. Christian was given the opportunity to work for the queen of punk herself, Vivienne Westwood, where he gained valuable experience, leading him into a position at Alexander McQueen his senior year."

Sure, blame poor Rosie. ETA: btw, Mocha, I missed all of this show so far, (no point getting into it now), but when a new one starts, would you let me know, please? I think I might enjoy something like this.

The fashion business is very results-oriented--I don't think they were happy that Jay sort of went off the map and hasn't done much in fashion since he won. It's all about the bottom line and profit margins, so they seem to be looking more and more for people who have a proven track record in the business, and much fewer students. Plus the more contestants that show on the runway, the more ideas to knock off and regurgitate into trend forecasts and future seasons. Fashion is the snake that eats its own tail--it never ends.

Lumbele, maybe you could catch one of the marathons that Bravo shows. They often show several of the previous shows one after the other.

yes!!! Chloe!!! thanks, Herm i think they want business minded people. i do think 'why is Rami there?' but I can see Jillian and Christian; it's quite different working for a designer than being the one who does it all.

Thanks, Mocha! Allie, while checking if our Canadian Bravo is showing this, too, I discovered that it is shown on Slice. No idea what "Slice" is, but apparently I do get that channel. It was just blocked on the fave list. Unfortunately, it is repeats from 2006. However, there seems to be a Canadian version as well. It didn't show from what year, though.LOL

"The only women who could wear Christian's clothes would have to have pencils for legs, and I'm afraid that I'm sporting Sharpies." ROFLMAO!! From one sharpie to another -- loved your observation!

If you go back to Grooch's link there is an interview with Jillian and she says they didn't show the whole story when she argued with Christian.. they left out the part where they hugged and made up. She says they are like siblings. She also says she will stay in touch/be friends with Rami, Christian and her model. And that site has videos of all five lines and someone critiquing the lines too.

I felt so sorry for Sweet P. She is a good designer, but they have her pegged perfectly. She designs for real people, but she is overshadowed by the others. I have a feeling Christian is going to win this whole thing. Unless he just really blows it.

I just looked at the collections. I must say I was disappointed in ALL of them. There was nothing that blew me away. Maybe they will look better when I see them on my brand new 52 inch Sony. Just had to throw that in. I have been waiting sooooo long

I too was not that impressed with any of the collections. I guess I would have to say I liked Jillian's best. This week is Reunion week so we still have to wait almost two weeks to find out. Though Sweet P was out, at least she got to show at Bryant Park which is really what each designer is aiming for so at least she got that.

I remember last season the collections didn't look all that in pics but when the show came on they looked much better in person.

Allietex, I agree with you about Christian. I felt like they've kind of been championing him all along this season. I finally got to watch this week's episode today and got the feeling from the judges comments again this week that they've pretty much already made up their minds about who they think should win the whole thing.
