Project Runway: Heidi, You're Out (Part 4)

And considering the most recent Prada collection, this could also be seen as on trend. What we really think, though, is that we love every single thing in his collection on some level. Even if we wouldn't actually wear it, we still like looking at it. Why? Because of the graphic prints, bright colors, sequins, handbags, day of the dead skulls. We see a lot of things we could take and wear with a pair of skinny jeans. And we still want that skull handbag. There is nothing subtle about Mondo's collection, but we are drawn to it. In other words, his style is more our style than Gretchen's is, and, therefore, we like it more than hers.


Let's go ahead and take a look at Mondo's final collection...

Unfortunately, our main impression of Andy's collection is that his models look like space cadets. Every single girl is wearing silver and/or green. We like his pretty little one-shouldered silver fringe dress and we like the short pleated green dress, but otherwise we think it looks flat and amateurish. We realize that Gretchen's collection is much, much better than his. And now that we know he's been using other people's patterns (click here for the scandal), thanks to Tom and Lorenzo, we don't feel bad for not liking the collection so much.

But let's go ahead and take a look...
