Episode 7: Challenge: Create an outfit from Saturn car parts."
Yowsa. That's like me taking apart my old-ass Fort Escort and throwing together an outfit. I bet I could have used the gold hubcaps, at least. Good to know that some wanna-be fashion designers have much more innovation than I do. This was a tough one because I think nearly everyone really came up with something fantastic, especially given the materials they had to work with.
The Official Winner
Designer: Leanne
Personally, I'm not a fan of the additional hips thrown on this leathery number...I just don't like the look. But this dress looked absolutely flawless. I do think Leanne has some great ideas and so far, always comes through and meets the challenge. I think this one also proved that the girl is just plain talented when it comes to executing her design. One of the judges told her she could go straight to Paris with this dress and the craftsmanship, for something they had 2 days to throw together out of car parts, was amazing. Although I don't like goofy-shaped skirt, I can get behind this design having won.
The Official Loser
Designer: Keith
Oh, Keith. You're pretty to look at but holy hell, do I hate to hear you talk. The outfit doesn't look too bad in this photo but the skirt looked pretty shoddily made and the back looked like a big ol', not put together mess. When criticized by the judges (ya know, 'cause that's kinda what they're there for), he blamed the model for having to sit down while in hair and makeup and then went on to whine about how he was so disappointed in last week's performance and the criticism he got for that. Challenge after challenge, he just doesn't seem to cut it. So buh-bye, Keith. I agree with that booting too.
Who Should Have Won
I did love Leanne's design and I'm okay with her winning. But there were also a couple others I really loved.
Designer: Suede
Obnoxious, third-person guy? Yes. But I do like his stuff. And for this challenge, I thought his design was great. I'd totally wear it. Look, shiny!!
Designer: Jerell
There's nothing really of Jerell's that I'd wear but I fucking love this outfit. It doesn't scream, "look, I'm made out of car parts!" nor "look at my fashion forward, futuristic outfit!" I think he's creative and innovative and follows through on those with being able to really make his things look well-made. I do kinda wish he'd won this one.
