She is the only one that has made anything original. Sure, sometimes she gets a little too out of the box for most, but not everything she makes is like that. She can make clothing for everyone while still giving it an edge.
Nzimero makes nice mens clothes, but how is it original?? I've seen everything he's done a hundred times over. I'm sure it would sell and do well, but it's far too simple for my tastes.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
shareIts supposed to have some simplicity,theyre marketing to the "regular" folk,most of which would laugh at what Kara designs. If they were looking for a runway only designer,which never happens, Kara would be it. But c'mon, drop crotch pants? For the regular people out there?
Not like I love you
Sure, the drop crotch pants were pushing it and I don't think she should have done that for ...what was it? H&M? Macy? Anyway, she definitely does design more fashion forward garments, but she can rein it in and do garments for the everyday person. Her other outfits she made that challenged proved it.
For instance, the blazer that was cut around the elbow with blouse showing. It was amazing! It was safe enough to appeal to the mass, but had that bit of edge.
If I had to choose between someone innovative and original that CAN be more versatile if need be or a designer that creates the same old thing Ive been time and time again...
I'd choose the former.
Snow,
My sentiments EXACTLY. I wrote about the same things in a couple other threads recently. Nzimiro did nothing that I hadn't seen before. I felt Ronnie could have won based on his last collection alone, but it was judged on all of the previous work...so it had to be Kara, and I was ecstatic for her. She was my favorite from the first episode, even though I wasn't sure she would make it to the second episode.
All of the complaints have been that a lot of her designs aren't for the 'average woman.' And that's exactly why the average woman doesn't interest me. If I didn't know Kara was gay, I'd be all over her like a, well, cheap suit.
I love women who step outside the box, turn to the box...and then redesign it and wear that sucker!
I saw one poster that said she wanted to get Nzimiro's stuff for her or her husband or boyfriend. That's what we've come to now? Menswear is so bland and boring that it's now unisex?
That's exactly why I buy the majority of my stuff from overseas.
His shirts were nice and all, but really? That's what's gonna win you a spot in Saks?! Has he been in the store at all? He would be onto something if Urban Outfitters were judging, but not Saks. Ralph Lauren has far more intricate takes on the same designs he produced week after week. I doubt he could've even impressed a Diesel buyer.
He's a really cool guy and all, but if that's the best he had...he should go back to engineering. That impressed me more than his clothes.
I wish to die in my sleep like my grandfather--not screaming in terror like his passengers
Exactly. Thats why I was pushing for the other 2 guys' stuff. Ronnie's was exceptionally awesome tonight (I never paid much attention to Nzimiro's since it's mens).
You confuse me with someone with remorse.
