His outfit wasn't "age appropriate." It made her look ten years younger at least. That outfit was great and if I had anything close to the figure for it, I would have already attempted one myself.

Most of the designers were given everyday clothes to work with. Granted Steve has the creativity of a lemur but I think part of his problem was that he was given miles of polyester satin farbic to turn into an "everyday" outfit. Who wears polyester satin during the day except brides? Even a cute skirt or a bolero jacket is going to look like it came from a wedding dress. And the poor woman would have looked awful in a white shell even if he had the time or the budget to do a skirt and jacket combo. The same goes for the velvet evening dress for Victoria's model but at least you can do a bit more with green velvet.

During last season's black-and-white challenge, Kayne was booted in large part because he only used black fabric. I did agree that Stephen should go: boring garment, poor execution, and no imagination in using the original material of the dress. Assuming his health permits, I wonder if Jack may get a chance to return. Last season, every booted designer who had previously won a challenge was allowed to return and compete for a chance to make the finals. We haven't had any hints about extra benefits to "winning", but I think the producers will keep this as an option, particularly if they don't like the way the finals are shaping up.

Allow me to play devil's advocate: Kevin's design was not age appropriate for his model, nor for her cleavage if I may make so bold. His look was also not suitable for everyday wear, which was the thrust of the challenge. (In Tim's words, "Everyday? I don’t think so.") Say what you will about Christian and his jacket, but he did work within the very strict limitations set by his client and he did so with panache and without complaint. And he met the obligations of the challenge! For heaven's sake, given the number of designers who seem to stumble over following simple directions, maybe he should win a medal for it. Also, he didn't use leggings. 'Nuff said. Eh, so much love for Kevin, so much vitriol for Christian.

Kevin deserved to win, wholeheartedly. He worked wonders with that blazer.
