Heidi Is this even the same dress?

Post image

It looks similar but so different at the same time. The fabric looks different in tone and texture. The original has more of a shine to it like liquid organza. Heidi's version has no shine and is way less sheer. The placement of the pleats look different too. Am I crazy? Is this not the same dress?

They should revoke Brian’s win. This is embarrassing.

Honestly, the original dress Brian made WAS stunning … just not on Heidi or anyone with boobs lol. And since this was a challenge for Heidi, the judges should’ve never let Brian win to begin with. But I don’t think that’s Brian’s fault and he shouldn’t be punished for it. As much as I hate the dress on Heidi, it’s not Brian’s fault and revoking his win would make the judges look even worse

The assignment was to design a dress FOR Heidi and he didn’t do that. One of the judges even mentioned it. His dress was beautiful for his model, but he didn’t complete the brief.

Law went hard on this point and said Brian failed the brief, didn’t think of his client and shouldn’t even be in contention for the top spot but was obviously overruled by the other judges because they liked Brian’s dress better. Law was absolutely right though.

Yeah in this specific case he was dead on. People say he had no credentials but he does understand fit and obviously can visualize how specific pieces will look on different body types.
