Malan Breton, the well-coiffed globe trotter from Season 3 who made a gown that looked like a log, showed at Fashion Week (again). It was sort of boring and derivative. I always wonder why the fashion writers for the big papers and magazines are so dismissive of designers who make clothes that are for the everday woman (with everyday meaning tall, thin, and wealthy). I didn't understand why the more bizarre get-ups received such praise. But after watching so much Runway and seeing some of these designers (who were eliminated) actually show a collection, I kind of get it. How many black pant suits or jackets do I have to see? Please show my something new or at least kind of fresh. Choose an interesting concept or fabric. That's partially why I loved Laura Bennett's final collection so much. She took the mundane black cocktail dress and made it rich and vibrant. I still think she should have won, but apparently the judges must have been just as bored as I was watching Malan's and Victorya's respective collections.
