This would be a great book to use, and from which to learn!

What a great addition to any library!

Just returned home and watched the show. Totally agree with ConnieLK & txdrling. Didn't much like Mondo at first, but he's become one of my favorites. I just don't get Gretchen. When that 1st thing came out I thought she was finally going to be eliminated. Talk about hideous and unwearable. Where were Michael Kor's comments about homemade? Christopher's designs always appeal. Michael C's clothing is well-made and would fly off the rack. My sister lives in a wealthy area; she claims that all of her friends want his clothes. But Gretchen? How many real women would wear that stuff?

Agree completely. I couldn't believe Gretchen was in the top 3. The colors were awful. It made the model look lumpy. Imagine what it would do on a real woman.

Have to agree with all of the comments. Gretchen's cowardly, bullying, immature behavior influenced all of the other designers. She and the equally officious Ivy have turned the other designers against Michael C., who I find quite talented.(I thought the judges picked the right designer for the hat challenge!) Her previous wins played on the insecurities of the rest of the team. The collection was just ugly and unwearable. Those shorts with that jacket--yuck. The always fabulous, incredible, dignified, amazing Tim Gunn was absolutely right to chastise her. Did anyone notice that all she did was play Little Miss Victim? Didn't listen at all.

Gretchen may be talented, but so what? So is my 19 year old niece--she's an amazing designer currently studying design. Fashion is a business like any other. She's no Alexander McQueen. No one is going to put up with her behavior for very long. I, too, will be glad when she leaves. With Ivy a close second.

What a great looking book! Can't wait to physically see it.
