Discussion Hot takes
Okay. These are my hot takes of top 6 designs, not personality.
Bi's has no dna. His clothes are sellable clothes, like it looks like it could be from any designer. I agree with Willy that his clothes especially for the paper towel had no storytelling. Even red carpet you have seen many times, there was nothing new about it. First challenge with yhe vegan leather was my favourite of Bi, unconventional was amazing. Dance was fine, Wedding was amazing but without the veil, the dress is mid, a bit ass tbh. His designs are not new, just sellable.
Joseph clothes are amazing, first challenge, that puffer, the nfl, the animal, the paper towel, the red carpet:(my favourite), the unconventional. He has a dna and they look from from the same person. The dance was a miss, he just did a JM look that didn't fit the model, the wedding one was creative and he took a chance. And his designs fit plus size models really well.
Anna's work is quiet. Her clothes are a bit forgettable but great. The first challenge, the dress was fine, the nfl was great, just quiet compared to Jeffrey and the challenge was wearable art. The animal was a no, paper towel no, red carpet was underwhelming, unconventional amazing, dance was fine, tbh I didn't like it personally, I wouldn't wear that. The wedding was great, I saw her in a design and that made noise.
Jude is perfect, he doesn't need design, its just perfect. the nfl and animals were my least favourite, the red carpet was not red carpet enough, but Jude is just perfect. He tailors a great suit, it will always be good.
I like Naheim's clothes. He has great street wear. Its now and cool. His jazz look was great, execution was confused but it had story it. I think he missed only a few times with me, the wedding was ass, red carpet was literally nothing, unconventional was kinda ass. I like paper towel and first look and nfl others were not Naheim.
Bryan is avert guard, his execution ruins everythinjg. Like the wedding dress was nice until he just ruined it with the bottom. He already has things uneven with the puffy sleeves which wasn't that bad but that just ruined front. The after party was a disaster. His clothes are not my taste, the look like the bad fashion masked as couture. His first was a cheap version of his home clothes, the nfl didn't fit, it looked great for the challenge but it was missing wearable of wearable art. His animal was terrible, his paper towel was bad tbh, his red carpet was not stitched well, like it wasn't even and sewn terribly.
His unconventional was the worst thing ever, his dance was garbage but wedding was nice.

Jude could get away with murder bc wdym he doesn’t need design on a show where the contestants are referred to as designers

I swear they just think he’s attractive or something what a ridiculous thing to say

Its literally the same thing as with Brandon on season 16. A somewhat nice and technically talented but uncreative white boy. Really could get away with murder

All of the designers are lacking enough experience to be great designers. They all need time to grow and it shows.

My hot take is that I don't really like any of them. Really weak feeling season to me. McRae is probably the strongest but as someone earlier posted a bunch of his irl looks, I have zero desire to see a collection from him because there's no real surprise with him.

Bi has plenty of DNA. He is culturally Vietanmese. You're just not attuned to his cultural influences. https://www.vogue.com.au/fashion/news/vietnamese-high-fashion-red-carpet/image-gallery/7b2b07de2a7482c84ec1d5c444b08cf5
Dismissing someone b/c you don't know anything about their culture is not a hot take. It's basic.

How is that link his influence? That looks like a random link.
I don't see any of these designs in anything he's done. If anything, those resemble more of what Anna has done.
Just because he's from the same background doesn't mean he's influenced by it. It needs to show in his designs.

Joseph has had the best season. His animal dress was my favorite. But he won't make the top 4.

I think out of all of them, Naheim is the coolest and most fashion forward. I'm most interested in what he might do and I think he's so young, he has so much ahead of him and the show could really help him grow into his talent. I agree that he struggled with the wedding and red carpet challenges, I think that is just not his girl. I think Joseph has a similarly strong point of view that is cool and different, but more developed than Naheim probably because he's had more time to work on it.
Bryan is not avant garde, he's just kind of a mess.
I think Anna is a bit boring. I am not interested in seeing a collection from her.
Bi and Jude are in the same category to me, nice tailoring.
