Last night Bravo aired the sixth episode of the Fashion Show season 2 and, well, aside from a lot of Calvin's shit-talking and even more shit-talking about Calvin not very much happened. The crew was shipped off to Grand Central Terminal to shop the train station's vast collection of lost and found articles before using all the assorted dribs and drabs they found in creating weekend getaway looks.
Long story short: The judges basically tore apart everything that walked down the runway before deeming Dominique's paneled, umbrella shift dress and black-coated trench the least worst look. She won the challenge and immunity next week; with her team, Nami, and their girl's-weekend-in-the-big-city collection winning by default. Emerald created a series of hyper-accessorized Hamptons looks with David's being both the cheapest and most generic looking. He was shipped off, but not before an embarrassing confessional interview that nonsensically alluded to jail time and pecan nuts.
And now, our top ten moments from episode 6:
10.) So Dominique and David are in Geek Love and crushing all over eachother it's really foul and so annoying and we were puking every time either had any screen time and Calvin thinks Dominique needs to focus on design because, "girls when they in love they act silly things."
9.) And, later, even more annoyed at Dominique, Calvin went on a pretty much unquotable rant on the extreme emotions of "little girls." All we were able to really get down were his alternating shrieks of "happy!" and "upset!" It was entertaining but you might've had to be there.
8.) Speaking of Calvin—his being so disgusted by everything in the lost and found was pretty hysterical ("I don't touch that kind of thing ever"). Then, even after it was all laundered and delivered (we were wondering if they'd sterilize—could you imagine the bedbug party?) he thought it all reeked.
7.) One last little bit of Calvin—that split second of his mocking Iman, posing and mouthing along to her words? That was pretty great and we can't help but wonder if she caught him doing it and retaliated by shooting death-lasers at him from her eyeballs.
6.) Cindy's dress sucked but the way she accessorized it made it even worse. Isaac Mizrahi, at the judging, thought the handbag was "better lost than found."
5.) And, while we're on Cindy—she had a moment last night. The judges asked her who she'd send home. Her response: "That's not my job, that's you're job."
4.) Isaac was feeling pretty catty last night—re: Emerald's entire collection and its styling—that's "how accessories will take a very dull dress and make it worse."
3.) Man, everybody really hates Calvin—it's gotta be getting to him. Dominique, when asked who she'd send home, nominated Calvin without a moment's hesitation. When team-swapping happened early on in the episode before being hinted at again towards the end no-one was shy about stating they did not want to be teamed up with him. Isaac declared him impossible to work with. And the icing, after Calvin bragged once again about being such a fast, skillful and talented designer and sewer, was courtesy of Iman: "If you were that good and that fast why haven't you won, yet, Calvin?"
2.) Cesar on the Hamptons: "Martinis, margaritas and vodka!" Judge Laura Brown on the Hamptons: "A tote or a Birkin ? It's not about practicality!" To both of you: Well said!
1.) Cesar made two extra swimsuit looks for his team. Why? "Swimsuits are the easiest thing in the world to make—it's like taking a dump."
Bonus: Rachel Zoe and Johnny Weir judge next week!
