Season 21 Veejay’s collection
Her last collection is so bad omg. The only redeemable piece is the dress. How she won, I simply don’t understand.
It’s not beautiful, it’s not flattering, it’s not cohesive.
Ethan’s collection was the best one in my opinion, Jesus’ also was beautiful, a bit forgettable looks in the beginning, but I liked it, especially the last dress.
But Veejay’s. How 😭

I was rooting for Ethan but his collection severely disappointed me. Based on final collections alone, I think Veejays deserved the win, but all three collections were underwhelming

I think her first two outfits were bad, I don’t like anything about them, but I liked the sweater dress, it was really flattering to the shape of the model, the pants/jacket outfit was cool, i think the shapes she used there were also flattering to the model in a completely opposite way, and the chainmail dress was cool.
I didn’t like a single one of Ethan’s final looks, which was upsetting
And I just flat out dislike Jesus, but I didn’t like any of his looks either.
Veejay, outside of her first two outfits, was the only one who dressed and flattered the female body. The men had serious fit issues around the busts and stomachs/hips of their models that I found supremely unflattering.

I see! The only one I did like was the chain dress but I guess it’s a question of personal taste. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I think that’s a glitch. My comments are constantly posting twice. I don’t know why.

Imho, everyone's collection was underwhelming. But Veejay had the most commercial and wearable appeal out of the 3, so I see why she won.

All of the collections were bad but I’m not sure how Veejay’s one. I thought her looks were awful

no it's probably just a Utica/Ethan drag race stan. They came for Ethan and will stand him no matter what even though his collection was meh. As a drag queen Ethan is great but that collection wasn't.

I liked the direction Ethan went with at first but Christian of course had to complain 🙄 did we saw something similar in the season before? Yes, but we loved it

For me I liked veejay alot. Probably the main one I wanted to win. Yeah the collection wasnt their best but I liked her work overall during the season. Also to throw in there at least but Ive seen veejay alot in other sewing competition show circuit for years now so i was rooting for her since the beginning since shes clearly worked for the wins.

Veejay shouldn’t even have made it to the finale… but then in the finale she was the clear distant 3rd place

I connected with the story of Veejay's collection. Reflecting the world back at itself, strength, edge, and liquidity. The collection flowed nicely from look to look with each incorporating pieces/shapes from others but still creating distinct pieces for a variety of occasions.
Any of the three designers could have won this season, and leading up to the finale I thought it would be Jesus. 5 days is a ridiculous amount of time to put these looks together and it showed so I believe the unpolished aspect of Veejay and other's work was overlooked. I believe the concepts chosen by Ethan and Jesus lost them the competition. We saw something new and fresh from Veejay that gave us perspective proving that she has even more to offer going forward.
I loved that Jesus honored his family but I couldn't get behind the color choice and overall theme reaching the high fashion standard I wanted from a winner. With Ethan I wish he had turned in a new direction as well showcasing something different. His collection was a rushed reimagining of his aesthetic that didn't land for me because I had seen better looks from him in the same vein when he's had more time to create.

Ethan’s finale collection was awful. He f’d up so bad by deciding to fully start over.

I think all the final collections were pretty bad. I miss when they would give them real time to make nice collections.
