You know, it's really saying something when your dress can be accurately compared to a turkey, a baboon's ass, and Carmen Miranda on acid all at the same time. It is at this point that the designer should take a moment to reflect. Perhaps in such cases a change of course is in order.
Especially if your model reacts to the prospect of wearing your dress in front of people with sheer unbridled terror.
Take a moment. Go get yourself a drink of water or something. Put the feathers down.
Honestly, what needs to be said here? This isn't just bad. It's RIDICULOUS. We'll tell you what: if Real-Nina was in that chair, Santino would have been a bloody smear on that runway.
The Duchess nailed it when he said that Santino is too hung up on his concepts and never considers the woman wearing the garment or what the garment is for. Pure concept doesn't amount to much in fashion if it can't be paired with functionality and an aesthetic that people can respond to.
We can begrudgingly agree with Not-Nina that the bodice does have something going for it, with the ruching and the feathers - although there' s far too much of the latter.
No, really. It's not. That's another thing that's so wrong about this. Conceptually, it's fine. You want to do a phoenix theme, go for it. But the colors on this thing were totally wrong.
This doesn't look like fire - at all. And she doesn't look like a phoenix; she looks like a chicken. That was run over.
And come on, Snidely. You knew it was a bad design through the whole process. Stop being so defensive and stop trying to prove some point. You're more talented than this craptacular demonstrates.

and yes, that is a steaming pile of... something.
Oh dear God.
I have to go to the dentist next week...can I have some of whatever the judges are on?
Must...burn...chicken dress. That outfit's making me into a pyro. Oh and I also have this intense need to key Not-Nina's car.
this should have been Santino's walking papers. Don't feed me any crap that he "took a chance" or whatever. This looks like something a 5 year old concocts for their Barbie out of their mother's sewing scraps. Awful, awful, awful!
it's quite an accomplishment: he actually managed to make her look like she has no waist. how'd he do that?
"Pure concept doesn't amount to much in fashion if it can't be paired with functionality and an aesthetic that people can respond to."
AMEN!!!!
I am so think and tired of hearing "but he has a point of view," or "but his designs are innovative."
Bottom line is that at the end of the day it has to look like something that I'm not embarrassed to wear in public.
When the car ran over that chicken, it didn't even stop.
If the bottom was supposed to represent "(it's like) fire" what did the top represent? "(it's like) dookie"?
Give Santino teeny props for the most creative bullshit justifications in the history of PR.
Between this and the lingerie challenge it's pretty impressive what Santino can talk his way out of! This man should be in politics and not fashion.
How, how, how did Santino dodge the axe again? First the lederhosen, now this. What were they thinking? This is the only time I was willing to buy the "producers choice" argument.
It is very similar to the Nicky Hilton dress isn't it?
It is odd that he scoots passed elimination with the "conceptual innovation" defence, but Allison's conceptual innovative trash dress (which WAS pretty, but not particularly flattering) was canned. Hmmm.....
I love his Russian toque though, it's really working with the skating shirt.
I agree with sewingsiren. It's so crazy that Alison got canned for having one outfit that wasn't very flattering, but Santino gets by week after week with this crap.
I also think about Angela when I see stuff like this. Angela would have been crucified if she sent something like this down the runway. With Angela, all the crazy stuff she added to outfits was "ugly." With Santino, it's "innovative." Whatever. I'd take Angela's fleurchon-covered (and generally well-constructed) Holly Hobby outfits over looking like a chicken with no waist.
There's just something surreal about Santino's willingness to put out this kind of crap (both this one and the lingerie), as well as his teflon-like ability to escape elimination despite the fact that this in no way rises above the level of a joke. This is like something that would be produced in a satire of PR. I can't understand it, I'm not sure I want to understand it, and maybe I should just think of it as part of some alternate reality that isn't supposed to make sense. For some reason, it's making me think of the walnut episode of the Dick Van Dyke show. In a "WTF was that and please don't ever do it to us again" sort of way.
"Especially if your model reacts to the prospect of wearing your dress in front of people with sheer unbridled terror."
ROFL. That screencap is hilarious! Heather is like no, no NO, Santino, NO!!
That was the time when for the first time I read the fine print about "the producers having no saying..." blah blah blah.
Yeah. Right!
Oh, that's so funny, Young Offender. We had the same quote. LOL.
Allison's recycling dress WAS pretty, but since it wasn't cloth, she couldn't fit it to her big-waisted new model.
I'm sorry, that model was quite chunky. Not fat, but built along square lines, with no waist to speak of. And the gigantic hair bow that Allison DIDN't ask for, only meekly accepted as most young women her age would have, just sealed her fate.
Santino sends fugly, badly-designed costumes down the runway every challenge and he's still there. Why, oh why? Being good TV isn't licence to fug, is it? Actually, considering how long Vince stayed in the picture, maybe it is. Ew!
I just love the expression on the model's face in that last screenshot. She looks like she burp-vomited in her mouth, and is trying to hold it in.
I love that you've nicknamed Santino "Snidely." Perfect!
For this steaming pile, and the steaming pile of lingeries, Santino should have been sent home. It only proves that he was kept on the show for the drama he would bring. Funny that he made fun of someone else, saying, "We don't need another Wendy Pepper." When, in fact, HE was the Wendy Pepper of Season 2. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
"This doesn't look like fire - at all. And she doesn't look like a phoenix; she looks like a chicken."
Don't blame this on the chickens. No self-respecting chicken would be caught dead in this outfit.
It's more like something Frank Purdue's wife would wear to get him in the mood.

i also think that there's an important destinction here that while this wan't neccessarily successful it was a figure skating costume not a dress someone was supposed to wear walking down the street in NYC.

I thought it was made pretty clear that, in addition to looking ridiculous, this could never, in a million years, work for the client, since it was too heavy.
Personally? I thought Santino was trying to self-eliminate. His apology to Emmet as he walked away seemed... unusual, and really his defense of the garment seemed more going-through-the-motions then anything else.
Emmet (and Daniel Franco) are both better designers, regardless. Rarara.
AND it made the model look incredibly think in her mid-section.
So many uglinesses. So wrong that this excrescence remained while Emmett's fairly cute skating outfit was cast out.
(On the other hand, Emmett seems to be living a happy life filled with success. And that's so very good for him. I'm not sure winning any TV show is actually good for you.)
This is yet another instance where Santino should have been auf'ed. I know that in the end, at Fashion Week, he pulled it all together and sent out some really beautiful stuff, but you know what? I'll bet all the designers who were auf'd before him could have done just as well at Fashion Week, given a couple of months to prepare. He should have been gone for this, if not some of the other disasters he's sent down the runway. WHERE THE HELL WAS NINA? We needed Nina, not Ann(orexia)Slowey. Maybe her brain was starved from subsisting on water and vitamin pills instead of real food. Emmett goes home for too much tooty and Santino stays? Get the girl a sandwich!
kath
people thought he was talented.
I was like...what??
this is bull-s***.
God I couldn't wait to come in today and read this post. I've been waiting for the Santino Thanksgiving Day roast. PRguys I commend you for restraint and pithiness - he doesn't deserve any more than this. I think what bothered me the most about this episode was that Santino clearly didn't give a f***. He kept mocking the show, the other designers and the judges. He was so contemptous and was rewarded by the producers. And I really saw this in the episode when they go to the designers homes - I felt Bravo whitewashed Santino into Saint Santino. Why did they focus so much attention on him? Was it his Tim Gunn impersonation? I'll never understand why they thought he was good tv. If they spent more time on Andre or Nick they would have achieved a similiar level of drama.
FYI, Santino, Phoenixs rise from the ashes not the flames.
More important, what's up with that hat he's wearing?
This is the episode that I began thinking he was Rasputin reincarnated. How could I not with the hat and the outfit....
First of all, Santino should have been eliminated in the lingerie challenge. Having some how managed to survive that, he definitely should have been booted for this monstrosity. Having a point of view should never be the reason for keeping a designer when the result is something as hideous and non-functional as this turkey of a dress.

ROFL!
Love GT!
Don't play the chicken card!
It would have taken 10 trips around the ice skating arena just to gather up enough speed to get that mess of ass fabric off the ground and into a jump. Then of course the extra weight of it all would have thrown her first revolution completely off balance, most likely off the ice and into Dick Button's lap! THEN there'd be hell to pay!
I mean, really, how do you do a sit spin in something like that, you'd look like a centrifuge!
I just can't take it seriously and think in my mind how hilarious it would be to see this actually on the ice!

Well, I'm not a doctor. But I'd say that if you are not certifiably insane, then you are a Russian Ice Dancer; possibly Pasha Grishuk.
Or Oksana Baiul, the Slovenly Russian Drunk years.
Whoever picked out the designer's costumes was certainly correct to give Santino the Russian skater vibe.
Yup.
It's still just as ugly as I'd remembered. And yes, it was very sad that Emmett got eliminated for a perfectly respectable, if dull, skating outfit, while Santino got a pass for this fright of a dress -- just like poor Daniel Franco got auf'd for perfectly respectable, if dull, lingerie, while Santino got a pass for his monstrosities.
OTOH, well, Santino DID make for good TV. I must admit, the man cracked me up, and although I certainly think that both Daniel F and Emmett got shafted big-time, neither one of them was one-tenth as entertaining as Snidely. I don't usually give much credence to those "the producers rigged it!" theories, but this time around I do think they were involved. And while a fashion design show should be mainly about, well, fashion design, if it also makes me fall off the sofa and roll around on the floor laughing like a loon, then I can give it a little bit of leeway for occasionally going for the drama.
I am very glad, however, that Emmett, who is clearly far more talented and professional (not to mention nicer) than Santino, is doing so well. True talent won out in the end.
Ok dearest Boys. This is where we disagree. Adamently. I do NOT think that Santino is more talented than this. He has yet to prove anything of the sort.
And this costume looks more like a Flamingo. A ratty one from a bad zoo.
I loved it when the model was trying to get him to stop pinning more shit on the back of it, WHILE SHE WAS WEARING IT (right before "the look"). I thought she was going to cry. She had a right to.
Santino appears to hate women, that's for sure. "Here, put this garbage on, yeah, great, more, more, here, let me puke on it".
What a clusterf!@#
Roadkill on skates. Just what every Olympic champion looks for in a costume.
Bwak Bwak Bwak...
Somebody please stick a fork in this turkey!
WHY is Santino STILL here?????
That exploding turkey baboon ass is the most hideous thing I've ever seen in my entire fashion life.
*barf*
Santino can just put up his feet and relax. Apparently it doesn't matter what he does: yell at the judges, don't follow direction, or listen to the client's needs, hey! It's Santino! He's not leaving! He might as well bring in a piece of white cotton cloth for each challenge. This fucking cockroach gets a free pass. every. single. time.
My dear sweet Emmett, i shall miss you.
The first thing that I thought as Santino's model walked down the runway was....
"BIG RED BABOON ASS ON FIRE!!!"
I hated Santino's "design". It like he killed a bird, pulled out the wings, and sewed them on the front of the dress. And the back of the dress was a whickety whack mess. Even his model was trying to talk him out of adding more. Poor girl.
Whack Attack Roadkill.
Santino basically made a big-ass feathery fuck you to the judges and Sasha Cohen and they let him stay.
Santino. I don't know who you're blowing to stay on this show, but damn. You must suck like a Hoover upright. 'Cause your designs sure do.
This outfit is hideous no matter where you wear it. Those freaking feathers would be flying all over the place. And look at the model's waist, if you can find it. Santino does not understand a)what women really want to wear b) what looks good on them.
Before the runway show even began, Santino knew he was in trouble. What were the judges thinking? I know what the producers were thinking...
Santino had no idea of what to do and just kept adding wickety-whack to it. It made the model look fat in the waist which is really hard to do with these skinny, flat sided girls.
I look at this dress and I see a flaming diarrhea arsehole.
If Sasha wore it, dunked herself in some water, and proceeded to drag her backside around the surface of the ice, she would make an excellent zamboni.
Don't blame Santino, blame the judges! They were the ones who could have sent him home. Innovation my ass!! If I paint my face red will people tell me that I'm a makeup genius?
Hmmm... I thought of "Shake your Tailfeathers" and "Get your Eagle On" by Nelly when I saw Santino's dress. I almost expected her to do the chickenhead (a dance) down the runway. None of those a pleasing visuals when watching a runway show.
Ugh, Santino, feathers, ice, don't mix. All I could imagine was a feather coming loose, Sasha Cohen gaining speed to do a triple axle, running over said feather and breaking her leg as she lands in a heap.
LISTEN TO YOUR CLIENT!!!
Santino ignored his client. He ignored the parameters of this challenge. He ignored the functionality. He ignored the aesthetic. He just doesn't listen.
I call complete and utter bullshit!! They kicked Lupe off because her dress looked like shit, and would never look good on Nicky, but they keep Santino on when he basically did the same thing.
Can you actually imagine tiny delictae petite Sash Coehn wearing that hideous exploding turkey ass costume???
OH HELL NO!!
Santino never seemed to have the project in mind. He even admitted to the other designers that he did not know what he was doing.
It's a shame that the producers let that happen. I lost a lot of respect for the show after that.
Santino's fundamental problem: he does not know, understand or particularly like women. He's *never* designing for "the client," but only for his own needy ego. His silhouettes - unflattering to any figure. His designs have nothing to do with the many and various purposes for which real women buy clothes, whether they are starelts or figure skaters or businesswomen.
This wrinkled turkey gaping asshole crap? More of the same nonsense.
WTF????
How on Earth would Sasha be able to skate, and perform jumps and spins in that outfit with all that junk in the trunk? The back of the dress was horrible. And the front was just plain unattractive. The top and the skirt really didn't go together.
Emmett was robbed. Santino deserved to get the boot.
It was an ugly dress. Ugly and useless. Santino completely ignored the absolutely essential elements of a functional skate dress to create a red and organ dust mop, complete with butt floss. He should have been booted just because he's produced high concept crap on two separate challenges...the lingerie challenge and this one. High concept crap is still crap, and he shouldn't be rewarded for it.
You know, I remember there was a point in the creation process of this costume that Santino had something actually looking good on the dressform.
And then he went and turned it into this. Dude has a real problem with restraining himself.
-Em
"minx said...
High concept crap is still crap, and he shouldn't be rewarded for it."
My thoughts exactly! Having not produced anything that we account for so far, Santino probably realizes now that he needs more than a big ego to succeed in this industry.
He should consult Emmett on how to be a gentleman and a successful businessman.
My god his design was foul. Both feather and foul.
The dress was unskatable, from head to toe. You can't have flying trim long enough to maybe snag your arm when you are using it as part of the balance for a jump, he ignored the notion it must be extremely lightweight, and those feathers would also catch your arms in some of the positions they need to be in. Everything is about balance, and if anything throws you off in the least, you will land the jump on your ruffled ass.
Santino always blasts other designers as "grasping at straws". Well, Santino, in "On Thin Ice", you took a shot in the dark and ended up shooting a turkey dead, and to top it off, you then stuffed your dead turkey with a model and sent it down the runway. . . .
As usual, his work is scatterbrained, overdone and sloppy.
"You know, it's really saying something when your dress can be accurately compared to a turkey, a baboon's ass, and Carmen Miranda on acid all at the same time. "
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Snort!
Seriously, it's mating season for the wild turkeys around here, and if that poor girl sauntered outside in that outfit she'd have every tom in a three mile radius trying to hump her brain out. Eeeeeesh!
They flat out said that Santino's was not a wearable ice skating dress. While Emmet's might have been more traditional, it was at least something you could skate in. Santino disregarded the customer's needs.
Did Tim Gunn say the word 'fuck' when warning Santino to turn down the attitude toward the judges?
This is a Project RunAWAY outfit! Absolutely ridiculous! Most designers were sent home for designing far less hideous garments. Why he stayed is still a mystery to me.
I just knew that they wouldn't cut Santino, no matter what. It's sad...
Seriously, how can anyone even consider this a garment?
It's a cheap hooker costume for a client who wants to screw a turkey.
ACK!!
I've never seen so much concentrated ugly in one place. Yikes!
The ruching looks disgusting. It makes Heather look like she has fat rolls.
Not to mention her stomach looks like one giant inflamed infected anus.
It reminds me of the time my gandpa slaughtered the Christmas turkey. Feathers and guts splattered everywhere. Disgusting!
Seriously, why the hell is Santino still here???
Santino is THE WORST, most over-rated, obnoxious, joke of a "designer" ever to appear on this show.
Poor Emmett and Daniel F. They obviously have more talent and skillz. But Santino is the reality TV cockroach "villain".
I hate him even more than Wendy Pepper.
Michael Kors said it best when he suggested Santino needs to be corralled. He'd be a great costume designer.
" Anonymous said... Santino needs to be corralled."
Santino needs a kick in the crotch,
that's what he needs! He's a woman hater!!
"It's like fire."
No, it's like crap and no ice skater would want to wear that. Ice skating is a sport of grace, elegance, and poetry in motion. That is an insult to our sport and profession.
ARGH!!!! Please, somebody, explain to me why Emmett was auf'ed and freaking Santino is still here????
WTF???????
I don't get it. Emmett makes a pretty sparkly functional skating dress. But he's called "vulgar" and dismissed.
Santino pulls this hideous vile wretched exploding turkey out of his arse. But the judges see "potential" and say he's more talented? Oh, fuck off!! I can't believe this nonsense.
BULLSHIT!!!
This was a bullshit auf'ing. Emmett should have stayed. And it's entirely obvious to anyone with eyes that Santino should have been kicked to the curb.
Oh sweet jesus. It still infuriates me after all this time... Grrrr....
Santino is a joke.
Where is he now? Nobody knows.
Emmett has a successful thriving business. Women buy his clothes everyday. Emc2 is a hit.
The judges need to lay off their crack pipes.
Heidi: “I’m ready to give Santino the cut.”
Michael Kors: “He never listens.”
Anne Slowey: "It looks like Carmen Miranda on acid."
So they kept him on the show because...

It's so clear the judges wanted Santino gone and were told to keep him for the drama effect.
Santino is an asshole and designed the worst ice skating costume I have ever seen and was allowed to stay.
They kicked Emmet off because his design was boring. Which is worst, boring or hideous?
Santino is very talented and not a bad person at all The producers tried their best to edit him to look awful.
SANTINO ROCKS!!
Best contestant EVER!!
He's the reason why Season 2 became such a hit. Why do you think we're still talking about him?
Because we hate his guts and his designs are crap.
Just like Wendy Pepper, Santino was a cockroach that won't die.
actually, I don't think Santino is that talented at all, but he was good tv!
For real????? No wonder Santino is still going strong.
All of you losers are still so obsessed with hating him. He obviously has a sense of humor and had a great time during the experience. A skating costume, well, it's a costume and Sacha can wear it during the Sesame Street Live touring spectacular that she will, no doubt, be involved with in the near future.
WAY TO GO SANTINO! A BIG F- YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MISSED THE BOAT, THEY WILL NEVER GET IT!
Why are we still talking about it?
All Hail the Gayboys and their trusty army of Commentarians!
Wanna discuss something that's been in the can over a year and yet make it seem like we're Watching What's Happening Now? It can be done here because the named parties have that power... they can toy with time.

Hi, Santino. Good to see you here!
Just got around to re-watching this episode on the DVD. Hadn't noticed before that, even before they knew the challenge, Santino was talking about designing a chicken suit. He did just that and tried to call it a phoenix. So maybe he was trying to auf himself, and the judges just decided, f*** him, we'll make him stay.
I remember Emmett on the Today show right after he was aufed and when asked about Santino he said, “He’s good for TV. I’m a good designer.”
Good for him!
Santino's 15 minutes of fame are over!
When Santino designed this stupid Big Bird outfit for Sasha CohenWhat i, I was screaming at the TV and stomping around the room. What pisses me off is that anyone who designed something as hideous or poorly-fitted as this outfit was sent home. Why did they let him stay?
I really agree about how HORRIBLE Santino's design was. Yes, perhaps Emmett's design was too safe and he does not have the best technique but at least Sasha Cohen could actually skate in it. Santino's outfit was unusable had to be 50 pounds in the back and even Heidi wanted to kick him to the curb.
It wasn't an outfit appropriate for ice skating. He failed the task miserably. That should've been reason enough to auf him.
Santino sucks most of the time, but when he hits the nail on the head his outfits are amazing.
I've yet to see anything amazing from Santino. 95% of his work is a steaming pile of crap. The other 5 % is just okay. He basically makes the same dress over and over and over again - that high-waisted poorly fitted thing he made for Hilton and his first dress are almost identical.
Where is evidence of all his supposed "talent"? I don't see it. At all. I see it in Diana. Daniel F. Emmett. Yet they were promptly auf'ed. But Santino? Nope.
Santino's consistently produces garbage. It's laughably ridiculously horrible stuff.
In the end, where is he now? Diana, Daniel F and Emmett are still working and designing and selling clothes.
Who would pay $$$ for Santino's CHICKENSHIT (I mean that literally). No woman in her right mind.
The judges saw potential in Santino. He is talented, creative and has an eye for color, fabric, and design.
With Santino you never know what to expect, and that is a breath of fresh air in the industry.
I think we all know what to expect from Santino... a big fat turkey costume... bwak bwak... Brilliant!
They were just keeping Santino on board for dramatic purposes. His design was by far the worst one.
Here's what Rebecca (Daniel V's model) said about Santino:
"Q: What's your opinion of Santino?
A: He's arrogant. So many things that came out of his mouth were mean and hateful. The show didn't play that up at all - that's definitely how he is. I think he's realized how he acted on the show. The past couple of times I've seen him, he's calmed down a lot. He probably knew his personality would get him far."
http://www.mlamtc.com/recent.htm
OMG!! That Santino outfit was a monstrosity! He should have lost, but wouldn’t we miss him? He was almost endearing out there on the ice, playing with the gang.
Do you think that a designer that takes himself or his work seriously would describe one of his garments as a "baboon's ass exploding?"
I have no respect for him or his work.

LOL. It's probably his friends (or Santino himself) trying to defend him.
I thought this was an episode of PUNK'D when Santino stayed and Emmett got auf'ed instead. I could not believe my eyes. The horror! Especially after that ridiculous "lingerie" debacle. I cannot fathom what the judges were thinking, Heidi was itching to toss Santino off the show.
I suspect Andy the Producer stepped in and intervened on Santino's behalf. Emmett - a real designer with real talent - was sacrificed. And Santino - a talentless hack with no discernible potential - was kept for "the drama".
Santino was the "Omarosa" of Project Runway.
Every week I asked myself why Santino was still there, and then that little bit in the credits would come up saying 'the producers reserve the right to select the winner and loser' and then I would remember why.
i love how all of the pro Santino remarks came right after each other sequentially. Hmm.
Anyway the best comment came not from a real anonymous contributer who said
"It's a cheap hooker costume for a client who wants to screw a turkey"
Nuff said
I didn't know what to comment on this monstrosity at first, and I still don't. Let's just say that regarding his behavior and self-inflated ego, Santino lost me completely. He could be the second coming of Yves St. Laurent, for all I care. I simply stopped liking him from this point on, and sincerely hoped that he wouldn't win the entire competition.
It's not like fire, it's like hemmorhage.
Santino wandering in the wilderness of pile it on and hoping for a moment of clarity that will lead him out.
Didn't happen.
