I think in this day and age it is very hard to have something that someone looks at and automatically thinks 'This is a _____ design".
With Joseph Mcrae he was able to create fashion that is so authentic to himself and that people will know it's him. He was able to create a brand while still bringing something new to the table. I am reserved in fashion and still thought his final runway was cool especially his final look with the skirt.
It was kind of heartbreaking to see him take it from the contestants and law roach. You could see the hurt in his eyes and even then he still tried to never verbally let it show he was hurt.
Especially with his back story that he worked so hard to be who he is today. That he went to college or a separate career path and just was so unhappy.
Only Jude and Anna seemed to stick up for him when they didn't name him as the weakest designer. Which shout out Jude and Anna because they are great designers too in my opinion.
I get harsh judging but some of it just seemed too personal for the viewers to be able to take any of the critiques seriously.
I mean why is attitude being brought up in the finale? How does his attitude have anything to do with the clothes and the designs??
