Suffocate with Love
Iman discusses the clothing choices of grandmothers, and the perils of on-set love.
Nov 30, 2010Bravo: We have to say, this challenge was tricky. You had to individually draw from the past, modernize it, stay cohesive with your house, and then incorporate plaid. Where you impressed with what the designers turned out considering the parameters?
Iman: Beyond! Fashion challenges are challenging at the best of the times but this was difficult. The trick was not to make it costume-y and of course stay cohesive. It’s like story telling or vignettes.... but here you had to tell the story visually.
Bravo: If you had to pull a time capsule from any time to dress from, what year would you choose?
Iman: J'adore the '40s.....I loved the hour glass womanly designs, because they were sexy without revealing too much, the length was divine, and the cinched waists! So me!
Bravo: Plaid obviously conjures up a lot of visual imagery – uniforms, lawn chairs, grunge – how do you think the designers did adding sophistication to lambaste those stereotypes?
Iman: Amazing.... but don't forget plaid is also classic ... think Vivienne Westwood, Burberry etc...Both houses choices of the plaid colors were the most elegant choice. Some designers used it well, others not so good and the results looked rather shabby chic.
Bravo: Finally, The House of Emerald managed a win, what really put them over the edge against the House of Nami?
Iman: Like a phoenix they have risen from the ashes! Good for them to finally nailing it! It was the most cohesive, and they took the inspirations form the time capsule and embedded in their looks without looking contrived. It was chic and modern.
Bravo: Jeffrey pulls out the win this week, thanks to his voluminous 1989 dress. Why did you guys think it warranted the win?
Iman: It was on point with the era without being costume-y, and they also modernized it. It is the way I would have dressed the ladies from Dynasty, and Isaac was truly inspired ... how can you go wrong with that combo?
Bravo: Cesar managed to not only handle the tenuous challenge of working on a 2001 themed outfit, but he churned out an additional hand-painted dress. What did you think of his work this week?
Iman: Hail Cesar! He is back in full force and stamina. I loved the hand painted fabric and only Cesar would have the audacity to create 2 dresses AND create a fabric. It was ambitious but genius. Now, all he has to do is not get mediocre on us.
This season of The Fashion Show is VASTLY IMPROVED, and while I ike Isaac Mizrahi, I love Iman...She is the icing on top of the cake!
I agree. This season is great. I have a newly found respect and admiration for Iman. She is absolutely beautiful, graceful, AND speaks her mind. A true woman indeed.
Love this show. You and Isaac put Heidi and Tim to shame. You are the shine to this show though, you are absolutely beautiful, glamorous and sophisticated.
I can't wait for the next episode!!!!! I love this show and I am so glad that the house of Emerald finally own this week. I was starting to feel sorry for them but they pulled themselves together just on time. Calvin is crazy but he cracks me up!!!! Iman is fabulous as always and I love Isaac...my favorite time of the show is when they are discussing about the designs and I adore the way Iman just speaks her mind. About the on set love; I totally agree with Iman and I am looking forward for GREAT designs. Please David, be a man and pull yourself together.
I wish Isaac had more influence and control over this show.Iman,is mean and cold and not the least bit feminine/She looks and acts like a man,and dresses in rediculous clothes that neither fit her body nor her age.
I watched last year because of my love of Isaac Mizrahi I watched this year because of my love of Isaac Mizrahi I will watch next year because of my love of the Isaac / Iman team The show is so good and the dynamic between the two leads is wonderful. Great Job Bravo from improving on last years casting plus the challenges are really,well, challenging. I really love the fashion show format as well gives such an authenticity to the competition and who will ever for O hell no go we now
I love it! Could perhaps be a tad more polished, but it’s far better than what we use at the moment, nonetheless

Nice work Brian you obviously put a lot of work into it. Lets hope 2010 is as fruitful for you.
Thank. It makes me feel great when I read all these stories. It helps me from hopelessness and make me more stronger to fly… thank… for everything. Love
Bravo! I really enjoy the show and watching you and Isaac. And I love your one-liners (that dress has more tricks than a hooker..LOL!). Looking forward to seeing more!
