In this week's half of the finale, Tim Gunn went to each of the four designer's homes to see what they were working on.
The first designer we visited was Andy South. His inspiration for his collection was Bhudda Park in Laos. Tim was concerned with his collection. Not that it was a big deal because he made into the top 3 and will be showing at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Yay! I really liked the snippet of his collection that he showed to the judges and his new piece that he had to create for the challenge.
Next up was Michael Costello. He drew his inspiration from the colors of sunsets and the textures of feathers. Tim's advice for him was to stop designing and edit what he had. He had a lot of extra pieces that he wasn't going to use and the ones that he was going to use were a little unfinished. In the end he showed three looks that were the same color and not very marvelous and thus, no Fashion Week for him. I was a little bit sad because he had worked so hard for it and his family has never really supported his love of design.
The third designer that we visited was Mondo. I have to say I liked his the most. He used a New Mexican circus/Day of the Dead theme in his collection and the pieces were all interesting. Tim shared my love for his collection. The judges did as well and he will be showing next week at Fashion Week.
Last, but not least, is Gretchen. Her inspiration was a mix of her western roots and worldly cultures. Tim thought that it could be a little costume-y and that it was all just a matter of taste.
As always, you can check out all the looks here. The order is: Andy, Gretchen, Michael, Mondo. Each designer had three looks.
Wish you well,
St. Ann
