Project Runway All Stars Season 4 - Episode 5: Designing for the Duchess

I’m again late for my review - thank you for not having sent me any threatening message to have me write the post - but I’m basically doing nothing but studying for my philosophy exam - it’s a nightmare.

Anyway I’m here and I’m now ready to fill you in with all my opinions and thoughts about last episode of our favourite show.

The Duchess of the title is - of course - Sarah Ferguson, I guess the most famous member of the royal family after, of course, the MAIN royal family (and after Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, sadly remembered for their awful outfits at the Royal Wedding some years ago). Project Runway producers finally decided to ask designers to create my favourite piece of clothing: A COAT. I was really excited because I truly adore coats and they never had any challenge in which they were specifically asked to design one. Of course the winner’s design was going to be worn by the Duchess in person, so this was another great opportunity for all the contestants.

Sonjia hit the mark again in my opinion. It’s true, the Duchess is not a young girl anymore, so her look was maybe a little bit too girly for her, but hey, basically everyone went very young with their designs. First of all, I loved the fact she used neoprene (yes ok, I’m aware I have a problem with it) in grey, I loved the length of the coat and the fact it was asymmetric with the slit behind. It was elegant and sporty at the same time, and this is a very great achievement. I didn’t particularly like the print she used for the sleeves (I hadn’t noticed it until now) but I’m obsessed by the maxi-zipper she put in front, it’s just A M A Z I N G.

Benjamin’s outfit was not good at all, but Gunnar’s was definitely worse, and I don’t understand why he wasn’t even among the bottom 3. It’s a sort of Frankenstein coat made by using different style which can even work on their own, but that together make an awful match. The tweed print could make a nice trench-coat, but then it would have been too classic and predictable; at the same time, trying to insert an extremely different style in the sleeve part really wasn’t a good idea. As soon as I saw the two silver bands on the model’s elbows I understood it was the worst of the bunch. I say it again: Gunnar is the next one to deserve to go home. Please, kick him out.

I’ve already said Benjamin’s coat was really bad as well, and the judges already expressed everything I think about, which can be summed up in two points: it was too junior and the pockets were something as awful as can’t be described. For someone who started the episode saying coat is his creative field that’s not a very successful result. 

I definitely LOVED Dmitry’s coat, it was minimal without being too simplistic, everything about it was unique. I really appreciate how Dmitry can always turn things in his favour even when he’s in a bad situation, that’s an extremely important quality for a designer. I’m remembering why he used to be my favourite during his season <3

Fabio was the winner, I recognise his coat was extremely detailed and had a very good mixture of styles, but the overall impression didn’t really win me over. Jay, instead, could have edited a little bit, but I thought his creation was a good idea and I loved the fact he was one of the few to play with colours - I wouldn’t have put him among the bottom 3. Samantha was good as well, I like her style, I think it’s really cool taking inspiration from the past as she does and making something which can be really sellable without being boring. And I love oversize, so you can understand why I really liked her look for this last episode; it wasn’t maybe perfectly constructed, but the idea was extremely fresh.

Seeing the sneak peek for next episode I expect it to be HILARIOUS: fashion gambling this time. When I start thinking the producers have run out of ideas, they surprise me with something new and crazy. I love this show.

Creating designs for 101 Dalmatian Street characters:

Dixie - Diamond - Duke - Duchess - Domino - Duncan

SpeedDraw[Here]

As a child 101 Dalmatians was one of my favorite movies, so when Disney announced a series based on the movie I was excited to check it out and… it’s cute. But not really my cup of tea. However, recently I discover that they named all 101 dalmatians and I couldnt resist the idea of giving these now named puppies some designs, since just a handful of them have their own personalities on the series. I also tried my best to mimic the art style from the cartoon. And now we have this! Its all just for fun and pasttime.

Duchess of Fife’s Diamond Tiara

Day 2 is @raya.journals
Raya has inspired me in a lot of subtle ways. Her love of pink honestly made me love my #chicsparrow Duchess a lot more than I initially did when I got it in a second chance sale. I’ve since then added a few more rose gold things to my planning system, and I am loving it.
Her beautiful cafe note bullet journal made me want to journal again and made me pick up my pen to do it.
She also inspires me to look inward and take care of myself. Journaling, tracking health in her daily logging, all of them make me want to be a little more conscious of how I’m doing.
Raya you are kind and sweet and your feed and your stories and your YT channel are constant places of inspiration for me. Thank you so much for sharing you love in this community.

I’ve been making some videos for work so I’m slowly getting over my fear of being on camera. A lot of people comment on the hair I use for my character, Duchess Cecilia, so I decided to put together a shortish video about how I do it. I’m NOT good at doing hair, so please excuse my messy braiding I also show how to wear a veil over it and show a few different head accessories.

If you don’t really like hair at all, the video briefly features a very grumpy fat kitten, so it’s probably worth watching just for that.

Get a girl who can do both! The Prime Minister of Granada and Duchess Cecilia of Chesterwick, in our finery and then in our armour! This was taken at the most recent Swordcraft Quest, an Australian LARP battlegame with over 500 attendees.

I love this photo because it shows my whole hairstyle! It’s basically two braids pinned up on top of my head, a silk veil and a tiara. It worked out really well, and I’ve now been wearing this style for months!

I remember being super, super tired at this meeting - we arrived the night before at 2am and barely got any sleep. It was a meeting to decide how we were all going to ally with the Red Avatar, and I was barely up to speed on what exactly was going on.

Photo was taken at Swordcraft Autumn Quest 2017.

Thank you J&J Photographs for the awesome photo!

This gold and platinum tiara is adorned with 367 diamonds and has been valued at about $1.31 million. Until late last month it was locked up in a cabinet in the throne room of the Badisches Landesmuesum in the city of Karlsruhe. On April 29 the museum discovered it had been stolen.

The tiara once belonged to Grand Duchess Hilda von Baden. She was married to Grand Duke Friedrich II, who ascended to the throne in 1907 and ruled over the territory of Baden. A statement from the Badisches Landesmuesum says that the headpiece may have been crafted for the occasion of Friedrich II’s coronation. The couple’s reign, however, was short-lived: Friedrich II was forced to abdicate in 1918, after Germany’s defeat in WWI.

Baden-Wuerttemberg criminal police said they are now looking for witnesses who may have seen something suspicious around the time of the theft.

Now this would be a #royalwedding worth attending. Long live the #duchess of #dope
