After last night, I'd definitely question that statement.

.:sprigged:. said:I am getting a bit weary of people saying they were suprised by Micheal, and they though he would be "ghetto" or "urban", just based on the way he looks. He is a superb designer,and his background doesn't come into it. Look at Alexander McQueen- he is from the East End, wears torn jeans all the time, yet still comes up with the most fanciful creations.![]()
.:sprigged:. said:I wanted to add that some of the 20th century's early fashions originated with black men- zoot suits,for instance. The V&A did an exhibtion on Black fashion not too long ago.
Many a background is capable of great fashion.![]()
.:sprigged:. said:In much of the black communtiy, men are expected to be very manly- i.e. not think of fashion- far to girlie.
How many young black men can afford Parsons (pretty much the door to American high fashion)? If they can, they probably will be sent off to the ivy leauge rather than a career as risky as fashion.
Race does not come into it. He just happens to be black, that is all. A quip in nature's radar, just like the fact he is ___ tall, and has size ___ feet.
Micheal, and my whole point has been in anger towards people who pre-judge him.Yes, but his dress was amazing and he wasn't even in the top 3.Jacque Marcel said:Allison does sound bitter and making it out that the producers were trying to get her by giving her bad models. Her model was not fat. Alexandra worked with Michael as well and he wasn't in the bottom...![]()
Ok.......THAT makes more sense. I bet you're right.....I mean, I bet your boyfriend is rightsarah13 said:That is exactly what my boyfriend was saying! He was doing Sudoku the whole show, but at the end when they did the preview for the next show, he said "It's their moms!"

Actually, it's kind of up in the air as to how much input the judges actually have in the decision making process. In the credits, it says something like 'judges take into consideration producer's opinions'.....something to that respect....gracey said:After last night, I'd definitely question that statement.

The spoiler: (hightlight to read) gets to be in the top four?
