Ping Wu: oh Ping. Ping declared that her designs look best on a human form. Shouldn't that be true for all fashion designers? In any case, I found it to be troublesome that she draped her look on herself, rather than using a dress form. Why? For the same reason that I wouldn't permit my students at Parsons to design for themselves: It removes the element of objectivity; that is, you're only looking at how the design looks on you and, consequently, aren't considering how it will look on someone else. It's very problematic, in my view. Ping made separates. On the bottom, she used an ombréd satin to create a shape that I can best describe as being "diaperesque." Her top was a loosely draped shawl/cape that was given more shape, thankfully, by virtue of it being tucked into the bottom piece (the diaper) and held secure by a one-shoulder strap. Ping topped it all off with a cloche (OK) and draped another textile over her model's arm (why?). Ping?

Manolo is worried about Tim....
And poor Tim Gunn, he looks so tired and oppressed, as if the demands of being the kindest, smartest, and most sensible person on television have finally taken their toll. Please, dear Tim, take the few weeks off and go to Bermuda, and let your mighty brain rest and recover. You are the national treasure and these desperate times require you to be in top form.
