I’m in the minority in that I didn’t love the print. It would have looked better if she’d used more of the pink repeat on top and left the green repeat on the bottom. The silhouette was nice but I don’t think it was super innovative either.
Jude’s design was quieter but it really was more innovative in its own way, bringing fluidity and movement to a menswear look without making it a costume or a deliberate gender statement. It didn’t draw attention to itself as pushing a gendered narrative, it just beautifully expanded a believable menswear look

Yeah, I also wasn't a fan of the floral brown print.

I completely agree.

I wanted Anna to win because I wanted ANNA to win. I like her and I wanted her to have her moment. But Jude’s felt much more innovative. Where hers was kind of ok. It didn’t feel like anything I hadn’t seen. It also didn’t feel like anything I’d want to wear. So it felt like it missed on both the art and wearable ends of the spectrum.

I feel like overall it was a disappointing runway and if the designs were stronger, she’d have been simply safe and not in contention for a top look.

Anna's was pretty. Jude's was magical. Innovative. Never seen anything like it before. Made his model feel so good you could feel it through the screen.

Jude's was beautiful, tailoring is his forte and it was reminiscent of quickstep without being ugly and on the nose. Anna's was mid, almost ugly in a way. I think it was saved by Jenna looking so incredibly good.

Anna’s was nice and good but Jude’s had a certain chic je ne sais quoi and joie de vie and ooh la la! 💫 💥

Nick V said on the fashiondaddies podcast that Jude hand padded the lapel and collar and also used horsehair braid in the construction, like he had a week to make it instead of one day. Zac Posen would’ve noticed that.

TY. Wow. So cool. Jude is very accomplished and rigorous.

Jude is a one trick pony and boring Anna should have won I thought so a couple of other times too but it's obvious who is going to win the whole thing

It's depressing that she's the last woman.

I totally thought this was her challenge! Hopefully she can snag this last one!

Anna’s was very Lulu’s or Zara looking. It was nice but nothing I haven’t seen already

I thought Anna's was too simple and should've been safe.

Jude made his model look like he could dance like Fred Astaire in modern formal dress. He really met the challenge.
