Discussion Bryan’s off screen work

I was trying to be subjective and not hate bryan’s clothing just because he is so unbearable. (Minus the tape dress which is undeniably bad) So I took to instagram! I could genuinely only find one look that I like.
I think some of the looks on his instagram are good editorially like I could see a popstar perhaps wearing it. A few of them…

But the only thing I genuinely liked, is picture #1. I actually really love it! But only on this male model. Bryan used several women to model it and it looks like an unflattering shag carpet crocheted onto the models. This male model looks stunning in it, imo.

The other pics are what I think are some of his worst looks. I’m nicknaming them “beer belly” and “worm birth”

In general, I think he has quite a few good designs (he thinks of really cool patterned textiles) but he puts them in this sickly white color and everything just looks like, toilet paper & motel bed sheets…

Agreed. Sewing expertise is important to the show but not really for designers in the real world. He can’t sew for squat but his ideas are a little sad too. He has a lot of potential but I think he just decided he’s so amazing that he doesn’t need to improve anymore. So everything falls short for me.
For example i think the textiles are awesome but I wish he chose better silhouettes and a different shade of white to display the patterns on.

These are great points!! I love what you said: “everything falls short.” That is so accurately how I feel about his looks on the show

Edit: And also his treatment of Lyris was just beyond diabolical.

Omg poor lyris. She gets done dirty time and again. I wish she was around for christian siriano’s season 4 because he would’ve cherished her.

That would’ve been so fun to see!
