THE EPISODE

RED TEAM	BLUE TEAM
Anna, Brittany, Kayne, Fabio, Kara	Bishme, Rami, Laurance, Korto, Prajje

    This week the designers were set into two teams of five. One was called the red team and the blue team. A lot of challenges occurred with the red team trying to have their designs cohesive. I loved the background that the editors made for the designers’ sketches. We were given some insight into fashion in China by Anna in her younger years.

    During the working period, the red team seemed to look behind. Strange how they followed the advice from Brittany’s recall from season eighteen and it ended up being backfired by those same judges. I was happy for Bishme and the blue team. Go, Blue team!

    Christian had to sit and wait for Kayne like in previous episodes. I did not bother to think that he would be eliminated earlier because he did the same and got high or he would have won. Sadly, that was not the case tonight. He actually was eliminated and that was quite a shock for me. I thought he would have made it to the final and won with the strength that he showed from the start of the competition. I suppose I  will have to regroup the designers during the week.

 

MY DESIGN

    My design for this week was a cheerleader outfit. I thought that it was too plain and maybe too simple for the judges. To Celebrate Grant’s house (in Hillview) and Mitchell’s house (in St George's), I placed the first letters on the top of a blue vest coat-like top. I could not draw a coat that is tied around the waist so I used fabric and played with shapes instead. To try and make the colours work, I decided to use complementary colours with blue and orange, and red and green.

    The hands were already drawn so a pom-pom probably would not have been able to insert by the left hand. I used a blue flag instead. The choice of colour for the hair came from thinking about Hester who was eliminated some episodes ago.

SELECTIONS BY CATEGORIES

    Designers with HIGH scores tonight were Bishme, Prajje & Laurance. Since Bishme and Prajje’s designs were given hearts, they were easily taken for Personal Selection. I decided that Laurance’s design would go for the Challenge Selection.

    Designers with SAVED scores were Rami, Korto, Anna & Kara. Both Korto & Anna’s pieces were chosen for Personal Selection. There was not an easy choice picking one between these two designs. I placed Rami and Kara’s designs as Challenge selections.

    Designers placed in the LOW scoring category were Brittany, Kayne & Fabio. A heart was given to Brittany’s design and a tick was given to Kayne and Fabio. I favoured Kayne’s look for both Personal Selection and Challenge Selection.
