Kit Got Fleeced!

We have to say, this design is growing on us. So much so that we're prepared to go along with what seems to be the majority opinion that this outfit should have won.

Let's get one thing out of the way right off: that is some wonky tailoring going on there in the jacket. The pants seem to fit very well, but that jacket looks hung-up-wet to us.

Let's talk about Kit for a second, since we haven't really said much about her. As we all know, first impressions mean a lot and our first impression wasn't kind. We took one look at her Baby Jane drag and assumed that she'd be a bitch and an untalented one at that.

Hey, we have opinions. It's why you love us.

But so far, she's been fairly low-key and professional throughout the competition and we thought it was cute how well she got along with her adorable model. We reserve the right to say we were right all along about her potential bitchiness because that can change at any time, but untalented? No way.

She's got the goods to go to the end of this thing. She has that all-important "point of view," she has technical skills, she can style a look and she can - wonder of wonders - blend the innovative with the classic.

A fleece sports coat - even if the tailoring's not so great - is such a fantastic idea that we're a little blown away by it. We can't help but applaud her attempt to do something appropriate for the client's rather conservative needs, while also providing a look with a little twist.

The only difference between her shirt and Jack's is that Jack apparently used all the starch alloted to the designers. It's "just" a shirt, but it looks like it's put together well and unlike the fabric Jack used, it's telegenic. Of course it's almost exactly the shirt Tiki was wearing when he met them, but how far can you go in shirt designs for TV personalities?

Seriously, we're not sure why her presentation is so sloppy-looking but if she could have cleaned things up a bit, we think she could have easily walked away with the win on this one.

And PUT BELTS ON THESE GUYS, DESIGNERS. Seriously, was Tim asleep when he walked Ginny Barber through the room? He should have been all over the beltlessness going on this week. Bluefly does sell belts, right?
