She definitely has an aesthetic, and sometimes that's good to see on PR. I can't help thinking that she might be a Michael Kors pet, though, in some ways. She designs the type of stuff he would go gaga for, and I can't help thinking that might inflate her scores sometimes. Kind of an urban art aesthetic that I can't get into. Very color blocky. Your calling on photographers struck me because her designs do remind me of what an urban, strong photographer woman might wear. I like that she has a strong point of view, I just can't always get into it.Abshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252591191993842032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19931766.post-18421916989740709882010-01-30T12:03:05.645-05:002010-01-30T12:03:05.645-05:00-giggle out loud- at the Ping comments. As a fan ...-giggle out loud- at the Ping comments. As a fan of both 18th century art and Noir, I agree completely.<br /><br />I didn't understand the judges' adoration of Jay's jacket outfit, either. The jacket looked cheap and ill-fitting, like something off the clearance rack in the Juniors' department.<br /><br />Jonathan's feather was indeed silly. Maybe if he'd found one thick, striking, curving plume of some sort and curved it up toward the neck, or done some good machine embroidery with a feather effect...or just abandoned the already ill-advised feather idea completely...<br /><br />I have to disagree on Maya's gown. I was disconcerted by the inward flappage of the growth panels. It was like a plant that has gone phototropic toward a single window and hasn't been turned in a while. I suspect it was meant as a purposeful, gentle, organic look, and it was more attractive than an outward flappage. But I wanted to see a straight vertical, or some soft tiers falling downward around the shoulders instead.<br /><br />Mila...I think she's good. But I find her disconcerting, too. I mean, IIRC, she's only six years older than me, and she's already gone severe grand dame in her own appearance and in how she designs. I've known women who'd wear her separates, and they're 45+, confident, professional, with stylish arty visions -- involved in art history, museums, photography. But the look isn't...I don't want to say "sexy" because that's cheesy...but it's not proudly feminine. I'm having trouble saying what I mean. I guess I know who her buying audience would be, but I like Stacy & Clinton's approached to 40+ women much better! Feminine fit, sensual textures and colors...<br /><br />SECPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
