It’s worthy watch. But for all the wrong reasons.
Instead of successfully convincing everyone how versatile, inclusive and welcoming his funeralwear work for a diverse cast of body types and sizes— it’s giving a budget Rick Owens convention of DEI cast, with a noticeable number of midwestern moonfaced, pleasantly-plump goth cosplayers in dated DIY Warcraft costumes, awkwardly marching slowing so that they don’t stumble or even fall having descend and ascend all the steps. It’s a cruel fate for many of the overweight, inexperienced women to squeeze into the burrito-shaped fashions and wear those silly platforms. And the woman opening the show slightly stumbling in those silly Warcraft DIY platforms— while the finale with the group of plus-size women struggling to navigate up just the flight of 3 steps by tugging/pulling/lugging their restrictive skirts and teetering in their platforms, just slaps the sloppy wannabe-spectacle into a pedestrian whimper from beginning to end. If he wants to be inclusive of all shapes and sizes, he needs to actually make the effort to design for all shapes and sizes; not just one-design-fits-all laziness. It's all so insincere.
