After the show, Alma G, owner of "Alma Salon NYC" says that she liked Anna and Haven's outfit the best. She didn't like James-Paul and Lidia's dress. She says that you have to be very tall and assless to pull that off. Yeohlee Teng liked Johnny and Merlin's outfit the most. She found it "very Mizrahi." Handbag designer Matt Murphy found Reco and Daniella's look to be the most successful.
It's judging time. Isaac introduces Kelly, Fern, and Veronica Webb. Isaac congratulates them -- he thinks they did a great job. Kelly brings out the winners of the audience vote. They are Merlin and Johnny's and Haven and Anna's! Kelly tells Haven and Anna that the audience found their design sophisticated and one person said they would buy the jacket. Thanks, Anna's Mom! Veronica LAYS DOWN THE GOODS. Shit, she says that the girls showed three Isaac signatures in their work -- the paper bag waist, tartan or kente, and rainbow. Also, the funnel collar of the jacket. She says that she has never seen his signatures displayed quite like this. I'm dizzy. That was amazing. I love her.
Kelly tells Johnny and Merlin that the audience loved the overall look of their design and loved the mix of materials. Merlin says that Johnny was the head designer and Veronica compliments Merlin on the patterns. Isaac says that he wanted to kill Johnny for using felt, but the shape of the jacket really works with the material. Fern loves the pop of the yellow belt. She thinks that, with the withering economy, something with that kind of color will be the thing to make someone purchase. Veronica says that she is really impressed and would be proud to walk their design down the runway. The other judges are amazed. Haven and Anna are the winners!
Now for the losers. Kelly tells James-Paul and Lidia that an audience member said their dress looked like a "cheap mermaid costume." James-Paul explains his design like a scientist, but Veronica points out that the plaid on the lining looks like a Burberry knockoff. Isaac says that he thought the same thing. Fern says that the sequins on Lidia's dress would be better as a scarf. She takes total responsibility for the dress, though everyone there knows she worked on it, so she couldn't really get away with lying. Veronica doesn't think it would be flattering on any body type.
On to Daniella and Reco. Kelly tells them that someone called the slacks "granny PJ pants." Heh. Daniella looks so confused. Seventy-five percent of the audience said they wouldn't buy the look. Isaac thinks they chose dull colors. He explains that his tactic is to show something that hasn't been seen before -- something that seems like it shouldn't work but makes your head explode. Veronica thinks the styling is really old-fashioned. They ask the model to take the jacket off and everyone LOVES the top. Reco's top! Daniella says that Reco would give up if he didn't get his way rather than help her develop her idea. Reco fights back and says that he was getting kicked down. Kelly just stops them, which was stupid. This was the best thing to happen on this show all week. Thanks, Kelly.
