I enjoyed the pop-up shops, but I really want that square gold ring that Esther was wearing.

Maybe she has it or something similar for sale online? I know that not all of her stuff is on Amazon, so maybe she's got her own website  |

I enjoyed the pop-up shops, but I really want that square gold ring that Esther was wearing. Me, too! I basically want all of Esther's jewelry! This is her website: www.estherperbandt.com/The big square ring isn't there, but some of the other ones are. The "brass knuckles" ring, which I didn't realize is actually three teeth  , is there, and it only costs $495! The Hungry for Life necklace is a more reasonable $129. |

I was very sad about the person who went home, but I understood why. Their pop-up store looked more like an upscale store while the other two pop-ups looked more like full environments and experiences to have. I wish them all the best.

I didn't want anyone to leave, I liked them all. I wonder if the whole custom tailoring thing shot them in the foot in the end. That's not something that's doable through Amazon, and implying that it's necessary seems like a negative, even if it was cool in the popup. |

The pop up stores turned out better than I thought they would. For designer pieces the prices were not ridiculous. Amazed that Jonny had all these experienced artisans in Bali making his clothes.
Overall the quality of the clothes have been great.

I like Sander, but I thought his age and inexperience really showed in this episode. I wasn't at all surprised when he was eliminated. He clearly had no idea how to engage customers. I thought the design for his pop-up shop was visual chaos. The rule is to make your product stand out; what you're selling is the star. With all that crazy color, you couldn't focus on the garments. It would have been different if his garments hadn't also been really colorful. In that space, one or the other needed to be more neutral (or black or white). White clothing would have looked terrific in that space, although it still wasn't my cup of tea.
Plus, for the first bit of the event, he just stood there not speaking to anyone. When you're selling in person like that, YOU are the product. If people don't connect with you, they're a whole lot less likely to want to buy what you're selling. Plus, the longer you can get them to stick around, the more likely they are to make a purchase.
I also thought that the difference between the garments in Sander's pop-up shop and what we've seen from him the entire season were so different. It was odd. Both Jonny and Esther did some nice ready to wear stuff - the t-shirts, especially - but they still stayed true to their style.
I think Sander will have a good career, but it seems like he needs some more experience before he really "goes big."
It was fun to see Naomi and Heidi shopping in each of the stores and really supporting the designers.

I am not surprised that Sander was eliminated. He just did not have the retail business experience Esther and Jonny had and he did not sell. You don't have to be high pressure (I hate that) but talking to the customer and helping them really makes it easier to buy. Esther and Jonny also did the accessories and it hurt Sander not to have that.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Custom tailoring is something you would find in a high-end store. It's not something you can do for the masses, which is the whole point of this show. And Critical, I totally agree with your thoughts about his store. All of those clashing colors made my eyes hurt. And again, Heidi and Time have made it clear from this beginning. This show is not just about clothes. They want a designer who can sell their brand, who can be as famous as the clothes. Sander just didn't have that, while Esther and Jonny understood that perfectly. Their stores looked like real stores. One of the judges said that about Jonny and I remember agreeing, but it also applied to Esther. Sander was the right one to eliminate.
Overall, though, I really loved seeing the pop-up shops. I thought it was cute that, for all their talk of clothes that need to be "modern" and "fashion forward", both Jonny and Esther gave a nod to the past. Esther told her models to "pose like they did in those fashion magazines from the 50's". And Jonny hired Vogue dancers, saying that this kind of dance "is a combination of modern dance and those poses from classic Vogue magazines of the 50's." Having seen photos of models from that era, I think they look more glamorous than a lot of modern ones.

Jonny also had some clothes that referred back to another era. I had a dress in 1975 that was exactly like the gray knit one with stripes across the chest. It was in different colors (navy with red, yellow, and white stripes), but it was essentially the same dress. |
