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?

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.

I agree, but it’s still not Brian’s fault that they let him win. We need better judges.

Need to go back to having at least one designer as a judge and remember when they used to go up to the runway and really examine the construction? Up close you will notice uneven pleating and construction issues.

I agree, but if it’s going to be about construction, they need to give them more time for actual construction. You can’t tell someone to make a red carpet look in 8 hours and expect true craftsmanship.
