It was a fairly uneventful and drama-free episode of our Thursday fashion fix. Besides Logan's silver pants and the complete replacement of our entire panel of judges, there wasn't too much going on! The challenge: please your client. Who's the client? Your model. Admittedly, those girls did want some random things. Romantic punk tiger? Blue and gold-rope jumpsuit? Yeah, the designers needed to pull rank and design something beautiful for their models, despite what they asked for. If you've ever watched PR, you know the designers always know best. But some of them compromised nonetheless.
To the runway! There were some downright safe and boring designs, like Qristyl's black off-the-rack look, and Johnny's egglant bridesmaid gown. Logan also ended up in the bottom with his electric blue prom number, which didn't capture model Koji's vision of 50s glamour with edge. Epperson, however, finally showed his chops with a sexy criss-crossed dress even though his model wanted orange. Carol Hannah showed her perspective with a gorgeous juxtaposition of soft and hard in black and purple. But Althea ultimately took home the prize this week with her very sexy suit– and she deserved it! I would definitely wear it, and her model loved it. Who displeased their model client and the judges, and took a hike? This week it was Qristyl who, after skirting the bottom for a couple of weeks, finally went out without bang, but with a boring black dress.
YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

That suit is pretty fabulous. Not sure where one would wear that, but it’s fantastic!
At least Epperson’s was interesting and I love the boots!
That’s so wonderful article. I really like it. And I enjoyed a lot when I read that article. So thanks for posting me.
