*Anton's Got the Point*

Dear Diary,

    This week the designers were invited to the Rockerfeller Centre but to the building top to be given the challenge by Christian and Nina. A really nice view of St. Patrick’s cathedral was shown. They wanted a look showcasing the designers’ brand and the point of view in the new wave of fashion. It was interesting to hear from Nina that this season would be the first all-female finale. I hope that the person I have my betted-on wins.

    Since I am doing this book and project as a sketch, I decided to omit the brand aspect of the challenge and focus on the building. My mind was showing me something in a bright brown leather jacket but I did not bother with it. I did not seem to find that necessary with all the buildings around the lookout of the Rockefeller Centre’s rooftop (see memories of episode section). I wanted the buildings and that amazing church in the background to source the inspiration. Did not even get much rest for today. I ended up waking the whole night after trying to sleep and wake up super early to record some of the earlier episodes of the season.

    Today, on the day of season nineteen’s finale, I sat down and sketched the drawing in pencil. Literally, my colleague Anton from the music degree at DCFA came to mind and he had on the jacket and shirt that I saw. The orange jacket was done first before I could try to get something for the shirt. I knew that the shirt was going to be that green colour and then I thought the jacket would be nice in orange after seeing that the pants were red. The fluffy ribbon at the back of the jacket was worrying to me. It looked like it did not fit in after colouring it. I wanted to have the hair brown but at the end of colouring, I realised that it was purple in my mind.  

    The final is about to come next week. I had my special form created and printed for it last week before it is not like a regular episode in the season. We saw the last of the mood shopping although I am not sure if they will be taken back for a supplemental as last season or not. When the judges did not eliminate one of the designers, I wonder how long they will have to collaborate and debate to pick the winner.

    In closing, we saw Shantall cussing and losing it a bit more along with Kristina. I am keeping my hopes up for Coral in this finale. I hope that she will be able to do that as Nina said, “I know the well is deep. I know you have it in you.”

    It was strange to see Karlie again. I found that the three main judges had done a wonderful job all season long. I loved the wildness and celebration of the Top Four. Seems like the finale will be a lot to look for in that last show. I also wonder what the music and themes for the presentations will be.

SELECTIONS.

    No ranking was done this week. In addition, no winner was selected and all were saved to advance to the finale. However, my rating continued. No designer was given dislike on tonight’s episode thirteen. Hearts were awarded to Coral and Chasity. Ticks were awarded to Kristina and Shantall.

    My decision would not count but if I had to make a decision, I would say that Coral and Chasity were high designs and Kristina and Shantall were low designs. Since there were no rankings announced there would also be no breakdown for selections in the three categories. I was forced to think of all four designs as a top four and pick one as the main selection. It was a quick runway show. That design as an overall win for me that night was done by Coral. I found that they should have given Coral a win. I was so proud of her.
