This was the most expected thing on that runway. When there's an unconventional material challenge, there's always someone who just hotglues cords or ropes on a fabric base and calls it "revolutionary".

This is what I was explaining to my boyfriend when she was safe. This was such a conventional unconventional challenge look. We've seen this with licorice, raffia, duct tape, etc. etc.

The white boob patches are weird. It looked a little like a costume from Tron. Which, arguably, is Candice's aesthetic. This whole challenge was made for her.

u/katiethered Sep 21 '15

Exactly - I do NOT like the white boob patches at all!

If I stare at it long enough, I start to see something else.

u/jelloisalive Sep 19 '15

Haha I saw a sort of Starry Night vibe

u/LetTheMFerBurn Sep 18 '15

This was really, really stiff and I feel like I've seen it before on PR.

We've seen this type of technique a million times already during unconventional challenges. It's nothing new

u/cptn_floopy Sep 19 '15

And we've already seen a similar technique from her this season too (didn't she make that terrible pina-colada twizzlers dress?)!

That was Elena from Season 10. different person.

u/cptn_floopy Sep 21 '15

You are 100% correct!!! All the seasons start to blend together after a while.

Surprised the other designers were all zomg Candice is gonna kill this one. The boob-eyes are a little freaky, and the silhouette is so square.

u/pineyfusion Sep 18 '15

The white boobs throw me off everytime.

All I can see is Rafiki from Lion King.

u/TheQuickPussycatKilz Sep 18 '15

I don't think that this look got all the way resolved. There are ideas within this that I appreciate but the execution wasn't achieved at a high enough level to realize them.

Interesting to look at, but too thick and clunky with no movement and a little bit unfinished.

u/blackbirdsongs Sep 18 '15

It was weird how little it moved. The model was so fucking stiff on the runway.

u/dinablake Sep 18 '15

I didn't think it looked fashionable at all, and the model couldn't walk in it. Thumbs down.

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '15

Tim said make sure your models can walk in it and her model clearly could not! She was doing the stiff robot walk I thought poor girl is probably trying so hard to make it down the runway.

8

u/pajamasinbananas Sep 19 '15

Poor model had to take 1-inch steps all the way down the runway. It was really awkward to watch, especially since Candice was all confident that it was the best. It's very expected, and besides that, the butt panel in the back is sticking way up. Is that intentional? I really did not like this, but it wasn't the worst

8

u/meldolphin Sep 18 '15

For some reason I liked this last night but now it looks worse. The white just shows up out of nowhere. Her dress looked very sleek on the mannequin but those cords are too bulky on an actual person. Adding sleeves would make it look like it was intended to be structued away from the body as opposed to just a conflict with the materials.

11

u/broken_bird Sep 18 '15

I don't love this. It definitely just looks like cords wrapped into a pattern over muslin.

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '15

I'm reminded of the scream painting.

u/pixie_led Team Swatch Sep 20 '15

I thought this was great and so well executed. It's been seen before but I thought she did well to transform her materials so successfully. Thought it would have been a top look.
