Helen literally sketches among sharks in this season’s avant-garde challenge.
Well, that was shocking.
And no, I dont mean Dmitry finally winning.

No, I dont mean Helen sketching in a shark tank.
I mean learning Alyssa Milano was the inspiration forThe Little Mermaid.
Apparently,this is informationthat people already knew, but I was shocked.
And she said it so offhandedly that the designers didnt even blink.
But you didnt come here to read aboutDisney faces, you came here to talk about designs.
Avant-garde designs, specifically.
and the judges rave, This is the best thing ever.
ThisAll Starsseason did not disappoint.
The designers receive their inspirationand challenge instructionsat the Long Island Aquarium.
They made it seem scary and life-endangering, but I dont think that was truly the case.
I was more concerned with how she was actually sketching.
Things are going along swimmingly (see what I did there?)
until Justin starts to get too emotional.And hes breaking my heart.
It happens to a designer every season, but its still hard to watch.
Luckily, though, hes on anAll Starsseason where the designers arent quite as ruthless.
Michelle tries to give him a pep talk, and Helen gives him additional fabric.
It does the trick!
And hes back to designing with a clear idea.
maternity fish costume according to Dmitry.
Zanna tells Dmitry that he needs to put aside his arrogance and get a win.
And she tells Helen that she needs to cool it on the shower loofah ruffles AGAIN.
Beauty, who is going to do special manicures for the models.
NEXT: Holy Picasso, Batman.
But Lifetime loves to lie to usand her critiques were actually quite nice and on point.
Sonjia, even though she usedBROCADE, is safe.
So lets just look at them one by one.
Weve seen this look fromHelenbefore… this season actually.
They dont get sharkher inspirationfrom it, but they think it shows restraint and has great angles.
So, what do I know?
There were elements of this that could go avant-garde, but none of it seemed to come together.
But I was wrong with Helen, so maybe???
The judges have mixed opinions as well.
Georgina doesnt like them together while Isaac is turned on by it.
We are just a bunch of bitches.
Dmitrys dress/coat look is flawlesshe uses the skeleton outside of a seahorse for inspiration in this structured design.
Granted, as the flashbacks show us, we have seen this before.
Dont even get me started on that lipstick.
The only true fan of this look is Nicole.
Fabiotook a very avant-garde ideaa backward tuxedo jacket and oversize pants for a womanand executed it with terrible fabric.
Also, its a problem that they like the look hes wearing better than his models.
I hope I did.
Justin, I think I speak for allRunwayfans when I say: You did.
And flipping gears completely,Next Week:No ass cheek on the runway.
