VictorYA: The sweet smell of self-delusion.

Saturday, January 05, 2008 by



Tim: Hi, VictorYa! What's -- Oh, Jesus.
Victorya: Hello Tim. I like my dress, Tim.


Tim: VictorYa, it looks like something Nellie Olson would wear. In outer space.
Victorya: No it doesn't, Tim. I like my dress.


Tim: No, really. Stop it. I'm not allowed to do this, but I'm telling you: stop. Now.
Victorya: I am making a pretty, pretty dress, Tim.


Tim: VictorYa, I say this as a stern, but loving mentor: Is there a drug issue I should know about?


Seriously, what the HELL was going on here?


Don't get us wrong, we're all for whimsy. We certainly praised Rami to the heavens for his whimsical dress.


But this...this is just weird. It's like, none of her choices made any sense to us.


Of course, having her model go all Stepford on us didn't exactly help the presentation. If she'd made something that looked doll-like, we might have understood the bizarre walk.


But this doesn't call to mind a doll. It's just all over-ruffled and over-peplum'd to the point of distraction.


And it's all weirdly off-kilter for no apparent reason. We just want to go up to her and yank and tug everything into place.

Look at her model. She is PISSED at her right now. She's all "Fine. I walked like you told me to. Now my career's ruined. Thanks a lot, bitch."

The judges were just as weirded out as we were.

"I think I speak for all of us when I say, 'What the FUCK, girl?"


We just don't get VictorYa. Confidence is fine and being able to defend your work is a valuable asset on this show, but the whole "I love it and I'd definitely wear it" thing sounded like such an obvious lie to us. Just admit that you went off the rails a bit. She's another one of the judges' pets, so an aufing wasn't in the offing. Just come clean and say, "I tried to go for a look, but I'm not sure I achieved it." The judges LOVE that shit.

What's funny about this dress, is that it's VictoYa's idea of "whimsical" and "crazy" and "fun".

"Okay... I need to do something that isn't the same old plain little precisely made dress. Let's go CRAZY! Big frilly things, twist it around a little, some silver... Look how wacky I'm being!"

This is what boring people do when they think they're being "crazy". It looks like something a suburban mom might sew for her daughter's prom, if the daughter is into punk rock, and she's trying to keep her happy.

"See! You can wear your little spiky wristbands and chuck taylors! It'll be precious!"

Boys, your screencaps are priceless.

I can't wait for that beotch to crash & burn. She needs a comeuppance bad!

Victorya's model appears to be fighting the urge to push her down and pull her hair out. Now that would have been some quality reality television.

The outfit was just way too weird although it was certainly not as bad as the wretched brown velvet mess from Puppet Girl.

VictorYA's dress created not only a titscrepancy but a buttscrepancy. There may have been a universescrepancy too. It was that over the top (or under the bottom?).

I just had to add titscrepancy to my Firefox dictionary so it would stop giving me that nasty little red underline whenever I type it.

What I hate is how she makes up some bull explanation about her dress. "I was going for an ice princess look blahblah shitty walk..."

No you weren't, bitch. You sewed some shiny fabric pieces together and needed a story at the last minute.

Gorgeous Things said...

Well, there's whimsical and there's what happens when whimsy falls flat on its face. It's sad and so is this dress. And in Tim's take, I recall even HE said she was deluded.

Ay yi yi, girl. She and Princess Puffy Sleeves are the two who seem to have the most overinflated sense of themselves, but PP seems to have good design sense at least.

I needed a bag of breath strips after this one. It made me throw up in my mouth. I hated it. Victorya should have been auf'd for this.

And she needs to apologize publicly to her model.

Bwaa haa haa! I love it when Tim says, "Oh Jesus." Great post boys.

I actually believed VictorYa when she said she would wear the fugly thing. Not just trying to save face. She really meant it.

So far, Christian has lived up to his own hype. VictorYa started strong, but is slipping further each week.

And she needs to apologize publicly to her model.

The model should have said "No. absolutely not. I'm here to make this garment look good, and what you're asking is not going to work. Please trust my instincts, and don't ask me to go down the runway in a bizarre manner that will make this poor dress even worse."

Jillian's model understood that her job is to make the designer look good, even if it means getting on her knees and hand sewing candy. That was awesome.

VictorYa's model could have just shook her head "no", and saved everyone the discomfort of watching something so awkward.

Remember when you had one of those nightmares as a kid, the one where the bogeyman was chasing you and you couldn't get away fast enough and you just kept running and tripping and falling and then you woke up to find that your nightie and bedsheets were all twisted around and you couldn't move for real?

That's what this dress reminds me of.

VictorYa is probably so rigid that she just doesn't 'get' asymmetry. So she made this.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, Alex!, I agree. the model shoulda said something, like "ya know, bitch, that's gonna make us both look insane..." but then, would we be discussing this model like she's Cara of S2? "I just don't think it's appropriate... I don't like it..."

This chick bugs the living crap outta me. The arrogance without justification just comes across as full on bitch, but not in a good way! That dress was hi-dee-ous!

LOVE the captions though! lmao!

laur amor said...

oh sheesh. Cara was the WORST.
"please make me a nasty hulking bandeau. i feel like a hoochie, marla."

regardless, victorYa's dress looked like the love child of a milk maid and a mental patient. precious.

She made an apron. It's an I Love Lucy apron on chocolate crack.

Her designs are never original. They're all copies of pieces and concepts that she's seen and decided were "high fashion". She gave herself away with her insistance on flattening her model's boobs in the team challenge with Ricky.

It's only a matter of time before she deludes herself right off the runway.

Sewhat? said...

I think the only reason the judges never slam her is because she is Vera Wang's doppelganger and it would be like cannibalism for The Duchess, NinagarciafashiondirectorofElleMagazine, and Zac Posen to demean Vera Wang. Let's face it Vera Wang sells more then those three put together.

oh, y'all made me laugh out loud!

WHY are the judges' favorites favorites? I just don't get it. All that seems to be required is youth and a recent degree from a recognized design school. Then you can churn out whatever uninspired fugly crap you like and walk right through, even win challenges.

I am very afraid that she will be in the final 3 or 4 or whatever.

Mom said...

Ooohhhhh, VictorYA just made me so mad when she blew off Tim so, so bitchy, passive, aggressively "oh you think so?" meanly! She is oooohhh! She makes me so angry! Doesn't she know that Tim will ever so politely bitchsmack you into oblivion if you dismiss him so...oooohhhh! She makes me so angry! and he is always right. He is always, always right! Ooohhh!

Anonymous said...

I don't get Victorya's aesthetic, but I don't feel the hate vibe that some do. It wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst. The walk, however, was truly horrendous. The model needed to flounce the hell out of that dress to try to make it seem playful, not clomp around like her feet were frozen in blocks of ice.

My guess is that Victorya is falling out of favor and that she'll go soon after Sweet P and Ricky.

Kanani said...

I thought something was wrong with my TV when I saw that walk. It was like, Damn! TimeWarner really sucks, but then alas, I found it was the model who looked like she was auditioning to be one of Elisa's marionettes.

I think YA-YA and the model were snorting Christian's discarded Reese's through one of Jillian's Twizzlers.

Anonymous said...

The strain is starting to show. "What, they are IGNORING ME? But I got straight As in design!"

At least Princess P got a comeuppance early, which made him tolerable.

This was not cute. White ruffles are rarely cute on adult women, even if they walk like they're constipated. She knew that was crap before she gave her "marching orders."

Anonymous said...

Why the hell was that ruffled apron dress so friggin off center! So weird! Did she do it on purpose to make an already fucked up garment look even more discordant?

This should have gotten her kicked off...period. I am sick of judges pets.

Why would you ever, ever, ever, in a million years make your model walk like she has a giant festering hemroid??

I think this dress was at least as bad as Elisa's but as you say, Teacher's Pet wasn't going anywhere. Ice Princess, my ass; Tilda Swinton in Narnia was an Ice Princess. This was just fug.

Anonymous said...

I'm rewatching this episode right now and just saw the painful display of VictorYA's dress/model/freakshow. I'm thinking what inspired this dress was a diagnosis of scoliosis. The "twisted" torso of ruffles combined with the "backbrace" ambulation style. She could have sold it that way and at least it would have some (albeit psycho) meaning.

Okay, so I can dismiss the ugly apron of the future as a design that went way off the rails. I don't think it could ever have been good, but maybe she could have somehow made it... less bad.

I can also dismiss the model's f'd up walk, by saying that maybe they were on different pages with the "ice princess" thing.

I cannot dismiss those shoes. What the hell, VictorYA? Unless the Magical Elves are sneaking in each night and slowly taking stuff off the accessories wall so that there is now a choice between those shoes and nothing....

Scratch that. Barefoot would have been better.

TOTALLY! I was cracking up when they showed her face during the challenge presentation at the Hershey store. Hysterical.
Dang, and leave it to Miss Know-It-All to even micromanage the way her model walks. Can't she just let the girl do her job and try to make an ugly dress look fabu?
Can't wait for her to leave. Oooh, but Ricky Crybaby first, please?

I'm surprised you haven't started commenting on it yet, but we've made a game of guessing the auf in the first ten minutes.

Sweet P and Elisa both had the most screen time early on, and what cemented it for us was the Runway decided to tell us about a traumatic, life changing event that made her decide to come onto the show. Dollars to donunts, it was her- it was the same formula that they'd used with Malan, darling, previously (and have for quite some time.)

Honestly, it's making us sad that their editing is becoming so predicable.

Anonymous said...

Only one word for it I'm afraid - bizarrrre.

And no, wild horses couldn't make me believe that she would have worn this herself. Nope, sorry china doll, not falling for it.

As one fellow asian to another - Vic darling, lighten up, it's ok, you cocked it up this time. The dress is beyond weird. It's alright. Admit it and move on.

Also, it's probably ok to smile once in a while. Won't kill you, promise.

Lastly, when Tim Gunn tells you he's concerned or words to that effect - it means "It's crap. You need to realize that asap. Dearie."

Fnarf said...

I burst out laughing when I saw her model's walk. The dress too. I mean, sure, asymmetrical is hip and everything, but it looks like it's on sideways, or she didn't have time to include half of the fabric panels. Not as bad as Elisa's scary disaster but aufable for sure.

It was an interesting challenge in that there was such a huge gulf between the numerous contestants who made really outstanding outfits and the few who stunk unbelievably bad.

Anonymous said...

To come a little to VictorYa's defense, I saw A LOT of white ruffles go down the runway at Fashion week with the Spring '08 lines. Yes, VicorYa's design made it look "milkmaid," but Zac Posen himself had a white asymetrical ruffle dress. Here it is: http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008RTW/complete/slideshow/ZPOSEN?loop=0&iphoto=1&play=false&cnt=2

I TOTALLY didn't get the walk. And I didn't realize how crooked the dress was until just now. Eek!

Lilithcat said...

I have to say, though, that I much prefer, "I like my dress" to "It gets me off."

I burst my gut laughing when the model walked down the runway. The models can't walk that well in the first place, and then VictorYA makes her do that. Awful. D:

I didn't get ice princess. I got a milkmaid, having thrown on her clothes too quickly after a roll in the hay in the barn attic, trying to sneak out of the barn by walking across a plank leading from the attic to her bedroom window.

First, it was MYchael Knight. Now, it's VictorYa.

Why do these designers insist on using that pretentious "Y"?

That's the second year in a row... *sigh*

Anonymous said...

Seeing that this is a competition for the models as well, I can see how VictorYa's model might have felt torn. Do you refuse to walk down the runway the way the designer asks, possibly pissing off said designer, who could keep you in the competition for the next challenge, or do you work the barbie hands and hope you are not alienating the other designers by looking like an a-hole? Tough choice.

Anonymous said...

What bothered me the most about this dress is the silver on the bust. I don't get it.

It was also an ugly dress, but had some redeeming design elements. Definitely worthy of being bottom 3. She's starting to coast.

Designers like Rami and Jillian are going to go the distance because they try really hard every time.

cb said...

i was annoyed that the judges kept demanding "whimsical" and "fun" and "joyous." the challenge wasn't to make a whimsical, fun and joyous candyland costume. IF Elisa really was aiming for tim burtonesque gretel costume, then i like her goal but her execution was off. and auf, i guess.
but there is nothing for me to like about VictorYa's hot mess. the crookedness of the top made me INSANE.

AND! pet peeve, but VictorYa is ALWAYS, ALWAYS chewing gum and it's just yucky. i don't think i've seen her yet in the workroom when she isn't chewing gum. and that is not attractive.

btw, Rami is almost too good for this show. the man has skills.

Anonymous said...

I loved Tim's Take for this episode where he said that, like Elisa, Victorya also listens to the voices in her head!

I agree with Alex- Victorya is too narrow in her design aesthetic, so when she tries to do something else, it's a hot mess.

GothamTomato said...

This was another one of those 'don't defend the shoes to me!' moments.

The bodice looked like it was the site of some embarrassing Jiffy Pop accident.

Still, it might have worked if the model had worn tap shoes and sang 'Good Ship Lollipop' on the runway, instead of walking like she was waiting to be scrubbed down after a nuclear plant leak. I felt as bad for her, as I did for the poor guy who had to wear SweetP's Grapes of Wrath monstrosity.

I'm not sure if Victorya is a pet, or if the judges just can't figure her out and are under the misguided impression that there is more in there, in her head. But I don't think there is anything else in there, except maybe a few hairballs.

Universcrepancy...SNORT!

Katiecoo - what a great idea. I actually have scoliosis and it had never occurred to me to construct crooked and uneven garments which would look straight when on the body. And all this time I have been making clothing that minimizes my spinescrepancy.

Of course to avoid that nuclear accident in a Jiffypop factory look, ruffles are verboten. I am definitely not part of the Victorya-ya Sisterhood.

good point by Audra1976 about zac posen's spring line being asymetrical and ruffly...

Sewing Siren said...

Yikes, I didn't realize that the dress was asymetrical too! I really believe she may have avoided being in the bottom three if she hadn't had the model do that strange walk.
I have to disagree that the judges love it when a designer confesses that they missed the mark. They must defend their look at all costs, or get the ax.
I don't understand all the dislike for Victorya, she does well on the more commercial challenges and that is what its all about.

Kittens;

Hmmm... what to say about Victor-Ya without sounding too, too, too bitchy?

I think she's a stronger designer than Sweet P and maybe Ricky, but she is totally unable to accept constructive criticism from Tim (who is fairly good at anticipating what Ninny and La Kors are going to think.) I suspect we're going to see Sweet P and Ricky get auf'd before our girl Victor-Ya will get 'invited' to clean up her workspace. Too bad; despite the bad tattoos and crying jags they are a lot more likable than the Empress V.

I just hope Sissybear hangs on during Victor-Ya's exit; in the first and the most recent competitions he wuz robbed!

Hi all,

Recap of Victorya's output so far...

Episode 1: Baby-doll sheath with GIANT gold lame flower pinned above model's boob. (it was big enough to have been a hat) The judges thought it was brilliant. I thought the judges had poor taste.

Epi 2: SJP challenge. Poofy baby-doll dress, shrunken-teeny vest...topped with an over-sized bow at the neck. By the 2nd episode I had her pegged as "the frilly one".

Epi 3: Menswear...meh, I gave everyone a pass on this one. However, Victorya's model's pants looked more like jodhpurs than TV presenter-sportsguy. (at least she didn't put a bow on him...that we know of)

Epi 4: Odious assemblage of garish fabric intended to represent updated neon. Gah. It will not be dignified by further discussion. (imho, she and Ricky should both have received Tim's very-sincerely-sad-you-must clear-your-space face)

Epi 5: Unattractive, uninspired use of what appeared to be yards of stretch velvet. Yes, it was a dark, dowdy green...but others had equally bad materials. The 'baby-girl' design continues with a princess neckline of inverted fabric, topped with a rhinestone belt buckle. The model, to me, actually had a sweet, happy face...but there she was in this 'sack'. If a garment could insult someone...this one did.

Epi 6: Craptacular ruffle explosion. The approach may have been one way in her mind...but what I'm seeing is dolly-wear. It doesn't seem made for humans. just sayin.

I'm thinking she'll probably stay on for a bit, as has been mentioned before...the judges like her. sigh.

Anonymous said...

I don't understand all the dislike for Victorya,

First, I love that someone earlier coined the name, "Ya-Ya."

I really didn't like her screeching at Ricky, even if he did deserve a drubbing for not having better command over the team line. She wanted to be team leader, she should have taken it and led, rather than taking Ricky to task for not reining her in with a velvet lasso.

Also, Ya Ya did not confer with the lady who brought her the green velvet, she told her what she was going to do and that was final. What she turned out was dull, dull, dull and did not enhance the woman at all. Her lack of interaction directly reflects how she worked the week prior as a team member.

She doesn't take any risks. None whatsoever. This makes for very well sewn clothes that are repetitive and dull.

I guess that's why the judges don't see the need to cut her. She's the safe horse, the one they know will put out a semi-reasonable outfit week after week.

But really, this is reality TV --not the workroom at Liz Claiborne... and we expect the outrageous, we want to see designers having fun... we want much more than Ya Ya can deliver.

Bad strategy - NEVER be the team leader. If the team flounders, the leader is most at risk for being auf'd.

Good strategy; do consistent but non-risky work and stay in the middle of the pack until the last two competitions before the finals. This has the dual advantage of keeping you in the running and fooling your fellow designers into thinking you aren't a serious competitor.

Michael Knight became Mychael only after the show when he learned that Michael Knight. com was taken.

As for Vayaya, I assume her parents gave her the name. So though we may not like her, let's not be unfair.

What is fair was this fabu post by the gayboys, which is utterly hilarious. Tim doesn't like Vayaya either, at least based on the Tim's Takes posted so far which express his mystification that she won the first challenge and pique at her later efforts. Maybe this bunch of insanely white judges equate all Asian women designers with Chloe Dao, and assume they MUST be good. Wake up, kids! Different people! Different talent levels!

I hated this dress and really think she should have been auff'ed before either Elisa or Sweet P. It was a) ugly; b) bizaarely constructed and c) she blew off criticism which could have helped her. Elisa had an artistic point of view, however ugly we may think the final garment was, and Sweet P turned out something very basic but well-constructed in part as a response to criticism. Both admirable qualities. Vayaya did neither. And she's a bitch. Wonder how Nina feels about it now that she's watched the show and has seen her dismiss Tim Gunn?

Sewing Siren said...

Tim's critique's take place when the garments are already (or nearly) finished. Realistically it would be impossible to make any meaningful changes to your garment at that time. I takes longer to pick a seam out than it does to sew one.
When Tim gives you a bad critique you pretty much know your goose is cooked and you better start coming up with a good defense.

I know by the time they see Tim the garment is almost finished...but can't you still do a little editing? If I remember right, he gave her some suggestions she could have incorporated.

I guess we dislike Ya's attitude because, to quote Top Gun, her ego's writing checks her body can't cash. (Yes, I really did quote Top Gun). At least PP is arrogant...and creates some really solid work. Ya is arrogant then creates a big pile of hot steaming mess.

VictorYA's dress was hideous. Why did she use the wrong side of the material? It looked like she used the wrong side of the material. She should have left the peppermint patty side out, at least it would have been more interesting. Poor thang, that dress was just horrible looking. She should have gone home. I am no fan of hers and never will be. I hope she goes home this week. Sweet p may not have any skills but at least she is likable. No one could possibly like VictorYA.

Does anyone else think the model's hair is styled a little like Luna Lovegood's? I feel a kind of retro Brady Bunch vibe to this dress. I think I am about the only person who actually likes it. I also was the only one to buy Victorya's outfit for Bitten from the looks of the sales rack. I have to say that it was not body friendly at all. I'm skinny as a rail and it made me look like a tent so I can only imagine what it does for someone else.

I just can't stand her cold, fuck-you, get-out-of-my-face body language. She even does it to Tim, for God's sake!

That dress was berk! and I'm happy she made bottom 3 with it, even though we knew she would be up for elimination.

I know the editing has something to do with it, but I'm really beginning to dislike Victoria -- I refuse to spell her name in that ridiculous manner anymore. A "y" wasn't enough, she had to have a capital R ? -- and I hope she won't make it to Bryant Park.

I just can't stand her cold, fuck-you, get-out-of-my-face body language. She even does it to Tim, for God's sake!

That dress was berk! and I'm happy she made bottom 3 with it, even though we knew she would be up for elimination.
