Thoughts on this?

I’m so shocked that not a single judge or anyone in this sub mentioned how crazy this outfit looked on the runway covered in fingerprints and I’m even more shocked that this collection won given that again, all the metal leather was COVERED IN FINGERPRINTS

Am I the only one who was this bothered??

As I rewatch previous seasons, I realize just how much Tim's presence changed this show. He was more than a mentor, he felt like family the way he engaged with the contestants. Hearing him say "Allllriiighhhtt" really made me smile everytime he did it lol.

I JUST recently decided to research why he left, I won't even bother bringing it up because its just that tasteless. I'd rather focus on his legacy that will never be forgotten nor can it be replaced.

We love you Tim🫶🏾

Yes Veejay likes to stir the pot, but Law is doing psychological damage.

Why can Law not give her room to simply express herself. She is an artist, explaining her creative process — please let this woman breathe. This is the second time he’s come for Belania, which I don’t understand. She was literally in the top this week and you’re shooting her down. As if black women aren’t already highly criticised for the way in which they express their emotions. Law Roach, when you use a word like ‘Hate’ when expressing your opinion on their artistic process don’t be surprised that they’re surprised by your aggressiveness. She didn’t even try to argue, but he wouldn’t let up. It just seems like he wanted to create a TV moment, which was so unnecessary, please let her enjoy being in the top.

Maybe it’s just me, but I really disliked how they kept saying throughout the season that they wanted more “Ethan and less Utica.” Drag is a part of his life, and Utica is part of who he is. If they didn’t want him to bring his full self, they shouldn’t have cast him in the first place.

I was hoping this format would only be on episode one sine they released two back to back.

I don’t like having to wait a week to see who got the boot. I will have forgotten their runway looks by then anyway. Dumb.

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?

• Filming took place in April.

• Ethan didn’t apply — he was invited.

• He’ll be able to release the original designs that were scrapped due to Christian’s criticism, and he got to keep those pieces.

What we didn’t see in the final episode:

• As the winner of the previous challenge, Ethan got to assign the returning designers (Yuchen, Antonio, Joan). Instead of being messy and making good TV, he chose to be fair.

• Designers weren’t limited to Mood — they could shop at other stores too. Ethan even sent Yuchen to pick up more fabric for the final gown and to Home Depot for tubing and tube cutters.

• Jesus helped Ethan source fabrics, since he knew the NYC selection really well.

• Jessica (the model Veejay wanted) was also the walking coach for the models.

• Ethan picked models who had shown him kindness and support on the show. He especially wanted Liris, since she’s one of the show’s pioneers.

• Heidi walked around the workroom and even tried on some of the designs. She loved one of Ethan’s black dresses.

GIRL where are the designer judges. we have a fashion magazine editor, a model, and a stylist. there needs to be an actual clothing designer judge for a DESIGN SHOW!!

It’s quite clear that Heidi / Nina could not fully clear their calendars for even like 9 days of filming for a few hours each day. Nina is gone half the time, Heidi clearly couldn’t make a few days. And it’s also clear they only signed on if they did a rapid-accelerated season with only 1 day challenges which is simply rude to us and the designers not letting them produce their best work. Im sure the rapid-accelerated season is also from production budgeting. (Since I’m sure all of their budget had to go to the judges salary).

It just overall is a big insult to the fans and designers, it’s clearly the lowest priority to Nina and Heidi.

PR production team (probably): “Rage-bait, so hot right now”

Rewatching the older seasons, and HPs printmaking challenge is one of my favorites. I didnt remember it well when I watched the seasons originally years ago, but this challenge has a great mix of pushing the designers to work with a technique most of them are not comfortable with while also keeping it super personal and unique to them since designers have to crate the print themselves, and mostly do it based on their history or heritage in some way.
It also lets us see their background, childhood pictures, their loved ones. It makes the contestants more real.

There are so many interesting unique looks that came from these challenge over the seasons, I feel like it really pushes the designers in a way that surprises even them. It’s a way to get them out of their comfort zones while still keeping it deeply personal to them.

90% of the worst stuff gets caught in the filters, so you aren't seeing it, but we're removing on average 150 rule breaking comments or posts a week. reddit has even stepped in to remove comments at a higher level this season than any other.

you don't have to be positive here. you don't have like anyone or anything, but we as a team would really appreciate maybe not using slurs, being racist or misgendering people.

on the note of misgendering: rule two covers this, and if you see contestants misgendered, please report it. we will ask the poster, kindly, to fix the pronouns used in their post or comment and we'll put it back. we will always assume mistake. If you reply "bro it's not a big deal?"

permanent ban. fashion is for everyone, and at least here, we expect you to treat others with respectfully.

next note is physical appearance. we've removed so many posts about Heidi's body and speculation about surgeries shes had. it's not acceptable, and it's okay to keep thoughts on the inside sometimes. Is she wearing an ugly dress? get her, jade, but respectfully.

please find ways to discuss your dislike for law without being racist. this is a "reality" tv show. its produced. it's made to rile you up. I get dislike of him, but ideally we set the bar right below "attacking someone on a deeply personal level because they said something mean about a dress that was made in 45 minutes out of condiment labels from the fridge."

so, that's my plea. we're trying out best as mods. we have mostly new mods this season and in multiple time zones, so hopefully we're catching things here faster. i'm open to thoughts and suggestions on how we can help make things better as well.

thank you, mood.

The show was filming today at my job - oculus at World Trade Center. Looks like a big group this season.

I love the top 4 of this season. Everyone has such a strong and unique design pov. It’s been so long since the last time I was wowed by a design at it walks down the runway.
