I didn't know that.. i actually thought the idea was to differentiate both V/M and D/W as the freshest, most talented new crop of ice dancers. That is interesting, I know a lot of the older ID fans, or at least those that are fans of the older IDs LOVE G/G so that would make sense. The costumes that V/M and D/W wore in their summer competitions were not great. I think the light pink dress Meryl wore for the SD at SA is gorgeous as is the hair jewelry but the fabric is not that great. I do not think that the black costume Tessa wore at SC is that great, I feel like it looks like a lot of other ID looks I have seen before. I think she needs something lighter in color and more amazing. This is her last SD, probably, for goodness sakes! I absolutely LOVED both D/W's outfits, they looked like OGMs that night performing the FD. I am not sure that I would touch those outfits and I am hoping they will surprise me with something greater so that I can pass out before they start hahahahaha. I definitely think that V/M should go bigger and more unique for both SD and FD, they are defending OGM and will leave a tremendous void once they stop competing. Their costumes should reflect that.
I feel Tessa and Scott's costuming in their FD is reminiscent of Gordeeva and Grinkov's Vocalise costumes- in color at least - not exactly in details of outfits. G/G's costuming was Katia in pale pink and Sergei in a deep rust colored outfit. Very similar to the color scheme for Scott and Tessa's costumes. But that's Marina all over again - trying to make them the second coming of G/G ice dance style.
