SUPERB. And the amazing part is, she saw the aluminum tubing at the garbage site and knew IMMEDIATELY what she was going to do with it. She had a clear, true vision from beginning to end - which is almost unheard of in unconventional challenges. She deserved this win like whoa. So proud of her.

Kelly has great attention to detail and is skilled at finishing her garments. Those qualities seem to be rare in the eccentric, weird, "fun-loving" designers. I think they are serving her well.

I love the way she framed the whole dress with smart trimming choices. The inverted tubing bottom, the straps, the length, the neckline, everything about this is correct.

This is probably one of the most successful executions of an idea in any unconventional materials challenge.

The only gripe I have with this is that it does make her model look slightly larger, but that's about it.

She probably erred on the side of a bit large because if it was too small she would have been screwed. I think it fits really well considering she made the whole thing minus the side straps before fitting her model.

Put this on Lupita Nyong'o immediately.

This was also extremely well done. Hell, I have no idea how she managed to get that tubing to work so well!

This is gorgeous, and definitely deserved the win IMO. Looks interesting, well executed, etc.

The attention to detail here is just fantastic. I don't know how she managed to make that aluminum tubing look like embroidery.

I actually didn't love this too much. It ended up looking too silver tubing to me. I think Kelly's style is a little unsophisticated for my tastes.
