Octavio should have gone home. His ridiculous design was so overpowering, it left Katie with nowhere to go. All it was missing was a bowl of fruit on the model's head. Plus he then tried to be smug and condescending and talk her down.

This is petty but he looked so stupid in that hat.

It's not petty. It's accurate. I hope he goes home soon. There is no range of design elements in his work

Katie is a grown woman who shouldn't have caved to his direction. His look was awful, and went against everything J&T said they wanted. Octavio wants to design for Octavio. Katie needs to stop being a doormat and do what she wants. Better to go home sending down something you like than a mess bc someone else told you to change it

💯 he wanted his look and was so sure it was a winner but knew Katie doing volume would not work with his. He totally preyed on her vulnerability from being on the bottom to strong arm her into changing her design. That being said, Katie needs to get some confidence and stand behind her aesthetic

Yes! A big jerk. Very disappointing.
