For this challenge, the designers are making a high fashion ready-to-wear outfit for Just Fab’s online boutique. The designers are given five style personas to choose from: Bombshell, Trendsetter, Girl Next Door, Modern Classic, and Femme Nouveau.
Candice chose Trendsetter. Since Candice won the last challenge, she gets to choose what style personas the other designers get. Ashely got Girl Next Door. Swapnil got Bombshell. Kelly got Trendsetter. Laurie got Modern Classic. Merline got Femme Nouveau. Edmond got Bombshell.
The winning look will be mass produced and sold on Just Fab’s website. Also, last episode was the last challenge where with winner will get immunity, meaning they cannot be eliminated during the next challenge.
Tim also throws in a twist: the designers need to create a logo and brand for their look. They will print their brand on a t-shirt and wear it on the runway.
Candice created a black two tiered skirt with a black jacket that has white and black stripped lapels that is also a knotted scarf. Definitely has a classic, trendsetter kind of look. Candice’s brand name is Cuoco.
Merline created a white top and asymmetrical skirt. You can see everything that went wrong construction-wise since white fabric shows constriction flaws. Merline’s brand name is Provoke Style.
Ashley created a gold leather bomber jacket that pairs with a skirt and crop top that uses a pink, purple, blue, and green geometrical print. Ashely’s brand name is Ashely Nell Tipton.
Kelly created an edgy skinny pants and top combination. On the right side its a colorful, funky, paint splattered print, on the left side its horizontal black and white stripes. The look is completed with a blue furry jacket (that Tim called Muppet fur, Zack called it Cookie Monster). Kelly’s brand name is Rack Addict.
Swapnil created a sleek floor length chetah print gown with an open back. The back has unfinished straps that cheapen the look. He also threw a white organza shawl on the model, which cheapens it even more. Swapnil’s brand name is Swapnil Shinde.
Edmond created a bombshell tight red dress with criss cross straps on the back and chest. Edmond’s brand name is Edmond Newton.
Laurie created a royal blue knee length pencil skirt with the slit up the back. The top is a thrown together at the last minute black semi-opaque black top that only covers the front of the model. Laurie, did you not learn from last week about covering the model?!? Laurie’s brand name is Wanda Grace.
Since the designers were all over the place this week and the judges could not agree, there are no high or low scores. But Heidi reassures that one designer will win and one will go home.
Winner: Edmond
Going Home: Laurie
