Wow, so many thoughts about this episode.
The designers are given the task of updating the Tuxedo, in terms of today's forward view and considerations of male, female and gender-fluid models.
The designers are assisted by past eliminated contestants, who are given the option to kick the designer they'd want to assist.
My wife and I got quite involved in the episode, to the point of wondering early-on why nobody was considering the KILT as a valid part of a winning design.
We felt heartbreak for the losing designer, who had run out of material for fashioning appropriate pants for their male tuxedo and was prompted to consider SHORTS as an alternative.
WHY NOT A KILT?? A STYLISH ASYMMETRIC KILT? I wondered loudly to my wife's consternation.
We noted with no little smugness that the winning design, also male, included a cut and drape of the lower jacket that was heavily kilt-like, to where the guest judge even suggested that the one improvement to the design would have been PLEATING of the lower drape. Yesss.
Well done all, right down to the save at the end.
