Things get very dull in the second act.
First thing's first: according to a note from Carol Hannah, Althea used leather, not pleather. We stand corrected, although we have to add that it certainly doesn't look like high quality leather - at least not in these photographs.
At any rate, it's a cute look. Thank god for the color. We like the way the skirt gathers but we hate that hem, which looks unfinished.

Heidi went on and on about this look and we think it's awful. It looks both cheap and boring and that's about as deadly a fashion combination as you can have. Plus, from the side, she looks like she has a boner.
Lorenzo thinks this look is interesting and he likes it. Tom thinks it looks overworked and unflattering. And that's about all we have to say about that.
Oh god, we're overcome with ennui. While there have been a couple of interesting, if simple looks, it's at this point that we've reached critical mass on our boredom. Ignoring the cheap-looking fabric, there's just nothing of any real interest here. It's just a standard dress with a slightly interesting shoulder treatment.
The only reason this looks good to our eyes is because of Tanisha. She's about 75% of the effect. It's not a bad dress and in a different collection we might have lauded it for its clean simplicity but by now we're completely over clean simplicity and we're starving for something exciting.
Bottom line: when you've got the eyes of a Bryant Park crowd and it's your shot at showing the world what you've got, you don't send out a bunch of colorless, simple looks. There's no WOW here. We liked about half of what she offered, but the other half needed to be dramatic and/or intricate. As it is, she showed way too much of the kind of looks you can see in any department store.Additional pics:
