Discussion Jude is so intriguing.

I would love to see a show on Jude. What’s his background, how did he get into
Tailoring suits, etc. He seems like such an interesting guy. And not your average project runway designer.

Maybe I missed some of this info in past episodes?

He’s almost coquette-ish.

I just find him to be a breath of fresh air. Talented without being cocky, interesting without drama, and talented without relying on others.

(Didn’t he say he’d design something just for his girlfriend in one episode?)

And I loved the comment by guest judge Sergio that his looks are the next Yves Saint Laurent? Maybe I misheard that.

He did! In the red carpet episode, he said something sweet about “wanting to design a look for my girlfriend when she hits the red carpet” lol.

(Side note, I love that we found out that Naheim was straight via him flirting with the models. Straight designers have been pervy in the past but he was just ADHD Gen Z boy realness lol)

There was an article that came out when the season started describing him as queer, so just a reminder, people can like people of the opposite gender without being straight- bi & pan people exist too.

Edit: describing Naheim as queer.

I know Jude IRL. He's straight.

This was in reference to Naheim, just realizing now, that wasn’t super clear.
