With the show moving to LA it's no wonder many challenges are Cali inspired. This week the designers had to come up with a costume for a particular film genre. The choices: Film Noir, Western, Sci-fi, Period Piece, and Action/Adventure.
Again this was a challenge where the designers could really let their imagination take over and be as outrageous as they wanted to be. I was really happy to see some designers "take it to the next level" as Tim Gunn would say. Film Noir was represented by Irina, Althea and Louisa. Neither one shined though I liked Irina's cape a lot. Louisa thought hers would land her in the top three which is surprising because it was a boring wrap dress that did not feel representative of that era. Western was represented by Epperson and Shirin, and Epperson did an amazing job creating a look that was strong, denim halter with ruffle detail and full skirt, and details like a holster. Sci-fi was picked by Ramon and Nicolas. Ramon scrapped his design at the last moment because the model looked like Kermit, unfortunately that did not give him enough time to complete a well made dress. Nicolas went for the "Snow Queen" look, long white dress with what looked like snowflakes off the shoulders. Gordana and Christopher went for period piece, with Gordana making an ode to the flapper era and Christopher choosing Victorian. Though his dress was not true to Victorian fashion it was truly stunning, the gathered neckline, the black belt, the skirt, a modern interpretation that's worthy of praise. Finally Carol Hannah and Logan created similar black looks for action/adventure.
Winner: The top 3 looks were Epperson's, Christopher's and Nicolas'. I was rooting for Christopher and from the comments he was getting from the judges, and especially after a reference to Nicolas' choice of fabric as cheap I thought he was sure to win. Sadly Nicolas was chosen for the best design which means his bad talking is here for at least another 2 episodes.
Loser: Gordana, Ramon and Louisa were in the bottom. Gordana and Louisa were there because they didn't take enough for a risk, while Ramon was there because his dress was poorly made. I though Louisa would go home, instead the judges kicked off Ramon, sad since he only faltered this one time and his look was the most exciting of the three.
If you liked the color combo of Christopher's dress, here's a modern look you can try.
