"I'm going to really make sure it fits you in the right places."
"I want to show the judges that fit and tailoring is something I can do really well."
As soon as he made those statements, we knew it was going to be a poorly fitted monstrosity. And guess what?
We were right.
We know a lot of you think that the Suedester should've gone home last night but frankly, we don't agree. It was all Pasta Joe the minute that walked down the runway.
Those shoes! What the hell?
We like Joe. For the most part, he's laid back and he really seemed to be enjoying the hell out of just being there but we really don't think he had the chops, not for this competition.
If you look at his portfolio and resume, he's clearly an accomplished designer but we just don't think he had the "Fashion with a capital F" thing that the judges are looking for. Too mainstream and too middle of the road.
And "middle of the road" describes this pretty well. Oh sure, there were plenty of problems with Suede's entry (and we'll get to them), but the main problem with this design was the sheer (new word alert!) cataloguiness of it.
It's pure JC Penney. Nothing interesting or imaginative and CERTAINLY nothing youthful or stylish about it.
And to top it off, it was shockingly poorly made.
And it did terrible things to her body shape. A HUGE no-no.
To sum it up: boring, poorly made, made his client look fat. That's the trifecta of auf'ing right there. Suede's was bad but Joe committed every cardinal sin there is in fashion.
