What surprised me about the challenge was that there were a few looks that were incredibly low caliber from a design perspective and, worst of all, they didn't reflect anything at all about the fiery flash and theatrical spirit of Elton John. Like, what rock did some of these performers grow up under? He is a mega-star and a well-known personality. Everyone in the free world should recognize him. I could have given them better designs for him than they had and I know nothing about costume design.
Jamal's outfit was flat out odd and I kept thinking about Hannibal Lector. Tessa's was boring, even with the fringe, and had no flash with all the brown and ochre colors. I think she had a good idea but the wrong fabric and colors. Venny's outfit looked very poorly made, like it was made for someone 5 sizes larger than the model and the whole thing was ugly. I don't know what to say about Hester's turkey look. The pants were too long in the crotch so it made the model look like he had a two foot long lower torso and made him walk funny. I liked her at the beginning but now she seems to be reveling in her oddness, not really focused on good design.
All in all, it is a good season!
Did you see the winner? Do you just want to know who was out?

Now I have no idea if Marni creates works of beauty but she has that eccentric artistic look. I agree that she’s not my favorite person on the show and I would rather see Christian.
