A little bi of another color is okay. If you're not sure, just send that option and then another option that is more black. If the first one is fine, I'll go with it, if not, I'll go with the other one.

JUDGING Heidi: If I call your name, please step forward... Tiara. If I have called your name, congratulations, your scores have qualified you for the next round of competition. *Tiara leaves the runway* You six represent the best and the worst designs this week. Let's start with Effie. Effie: It's not your best work, Effie, but it is still a solid design. It's not your usual amazingness, but I still like the dress. It's a little basic for a designer that has brought so much originality to the competition. I like the one shoulder thing and the most important thing is how versatile the dress is. I could see someone wearing this on a date, on the red carpet, to a dinner party. Really anywhere. La Cha: I think it's a good design, but not great. You know I'm a stickler about the lengths of the garments and for me, this is really short. It's really almost showing her underwear. I don't know if you didn't get enough fabric or what, but it needed to be longer. I feel like the versatility of this dress is really low as well. It's very sexy and it lacks the sophistication. Cassandra: Once again, I'm not blown away, but it is a good dress. Like I said to Effie, it's just very basic. I do like the cut of the dress, but I'm not sure that anyone who isn't a model could wear a cut that low in the chest. I love the styling you did with the model though because it really played up the versatility aspect. Alex: I think this is the first dress that I have an actual opinion on whether it is good or bad, but unfortunately for you, it's the latter. I just feel like the dress is too avant garde. It doesn't have the sexy, elegant sophistication that the little black dress offers. It's very boxy and out of all the models to do a dress like this on, Natasha's probably the last model I'd do something like this on because she already has a boxier shape than all the other girls. I'm just not liking it very much. Lana: I think this is cute and adorable and great. I love the flowiness and how girly it is. I do think that the green up the side is a little divergent from the little black dress challenge, but it's very faint so it doesn't kill the look. I love the sheerness, but I feel like that really hinders the versatility of the dress and a little black dress is about being versatile. I couldn't see anyone wearing it on a date or to a dinner party. It's very runway. April: The issue I have with this dress is that it has no originality. It's so basic. Like anyone who has a black dress can add a belt to it. The point of the challenge was to revolutionize the little black dress and I just see you making another little black dress. There is nothing different to it like Effie's or Lana's. |

ELIMINATION Heidi: The six of you represent the best and the worst designs this week. One of you will be named the winner and one of you will be out. All together, I wasn't impressed. The highest score this week was an 8.5 when someone usually gets a 9.5 or 10 to win a challenge. Cassandra... You're in. You may leave the runway. And now for the winner of this challenge... Once again, it's Effie. Congratulations. I didn't necessarily think your dress was the best, I would say Lana's was, but this dress was easily the most versatile and that's the purpose of a little black dress. Unfortunately, last week was the last immunity given. Since we are cutting down the competition, it's been too tight to give immunity. You may leave the runway. Lana, had your dress been slightly more versatile, you would have won this challenge. You're in. you may leave the runway. La Cha... You were really just here because someone had to be. You're in. Alex, April. You are the bottom two this week. Alex, your design this week was unflattering and the least versatile of the designs on the runway. April, your design was too basic and lacked any sort of originality. So who stays? April... You're out. Auf weidersen. *she leaves the runway* Alex. April is out, but you are going with her. I'm sorry, you're out as well. I just feel as if both of you were falling behind the other designers and I wasn't sure you'd catch up. Auf weidersen. |

MODEL SELECTION *Heidi walks out onto the runway* Heidi: Hello designers. It's time to hear your next challenge, but before that, we need to choose models. Let's bring them out. *all the models walk out* Models, as you know, this is a competition for you as well. The model paired with the winning designer will win a $25,000 spread in Elle Magazine. As you know models, two designers were eliminated last week, so therefore, two of you will be eliminated as well. Effie, you won last weeks challenge, so you get to choose first. Effie: Why do you even ask me anymore? I'll choose Alana. Heidi: Now we will pick in the order of how you performed last week. Lana, you're next. Lana: I'll stick with Vlada. Cassandra: I'll choose Jac, again. Tiara: I really wanted to get Jac back, but I'll take Karlie instead. Heidi: Okay, La Cha, you have the last pick. It is down to Anabela, Magdalena, and Natasha. Who will it be? La Cha: I hate to do this to two of you, but I am going to stick with Anabela. Heidi: Congratulations Anabela, you're in. You may leave the runway. Natasha, Magdalena, I'm sorry, but you're out. Auf weidersen. *the models leave the runway* Heidi: Okay. On to the challenge. As you know, Milan Spring/Summer fashion week has recently ended (kinda) and there have been trends started, revived, and continued. This week, each of you will be assigned a random trend from this bag. *hold up the bag* There are five trends here and they will be assigned randomly. Effie, you're first... *reaches into bag* Florals. Effie, you must use floral prints and designs to bring your look to life. Next is Lana... *reaches into bag* Baby pastels. Lana, you must use the light pastel colors such as lavender, baby blue, or light pinks. Next up is Cassandra... *reaches into bag* 20's style. You must revive the 20s style flapper cocktail dress. Take the trend from the past and make it present again. Tiara, you're next... *reaches into bag* Bare Midriff. You must have an open midriff in your design. It's as simple as that. Lastly, La Cha... *reaches into bag* Sheer. You must use some sort of sheer element in your garment. Well designers, you have your challenge, so get moving! |

Lana
*confessional*
I didnt win the challenge last week, but still it felt great to have Heidi say that I had the best look. I was really excited when I saw the trend I got this week because I love pastels. The look I was going for this week was sort of babydoll, even lolita-ish. I really went for something cute and girly, but still a little elegant. Im really nervous to see what the judges think though, ive felt good about looks in the past and they didnt turn out so well. So fingers crossed!

JUDGING Heidi: Since we are getting very low in the numbers, I will not be announcing who is in the top 3 and bottom 3. Instead, I will be judging all of your designs. Let's bring them out. Effie: It's not my favorite look of yours, but that's also hard to give because you have so many amazing looks. I like how you chose a unique floral pattern. Normally, you see very light, pastel colors in floral patterns, but this is a little more bold, dark, and edgy. I think it is a very elegant design, but for me, it just doesn't stand out too much. Lana: ( Close Up) I love the color and the styling and how it all works well together. It really compliments Vlada's pale complexion well. I love how much detail you put into such a small little dress. I love how you added a shawl to take it a little further and add a new dynamic to the design. Overall, it's a very strong look. Cassandra: The issue I have with this design isn't that it is ugly, because it isn't. It's actually quite stylish. The issue I have is that I don't see the 1920s at all. I just see a cocktail dress. I really wanted to see the flapper inspired cocktail dress and I'm not getting that from this design. You probably got the most difficult challenge of all the designers, but that can't be an excuse for not following the theme. Tiara: This is so unexpected. I was thinking that there would be a top and a bottom, but this is a pleasant surprise and you took it outside the box. I love the cut outs on this design. The bold shapes make a statement and Karlie really carried this design off well. I also love how it is a different silhouette than what you normally give because I'd seen a lot of the same stuff like in the Jennifer Lawrence, H&M, and couture challenges. They all had the same silhouette, but this is different. La Cha: The detail in this design is insane. You must have been working until the very last second because all those cut outs and making the pattern must have been extensive. I love how the design is both very sexy, but also very elegant. The length and the sleeves as well as the turtle neck make the design very conservative, but the sheerness makes is a little more sexy. I also love how you made the whole garment sheer from top to bottom instead of just having a small pocket on the midriff being sheer or the skirt being sheer. Great job. |

ELIMINATION Heidi: Hello designers. There are five of you left here, but as one of you becomes the winner of the challenge, one of you will be out, leaving us with four designers. This week, overall, it was a huge pick-up from last week. Let's start with the winner of this challenge. Congratulations... La Cha. Congratulations. You are the winner of this challenge and you are a part of the final 4! You may leave the runway. Tiara... You're in as well. Congratulations. You may leave the runway. Lana... You're in. Congratulations. You may leave the runway. Effie. Cassandra. You two represent the worst designs this week. One of you will be in, and the other will be out. Effie, this is the first week of the competition being out of the top 3. Every week you've blown me away with innovative, stunning designs. Last week, even though you won the challenge, I wasn't blown away like normal, and this week was no different. Cassandra, I've seen a consistent competitor out of you, but this week I just didn't get your design. It didn't follow the theme and it didn't complete the challenge. So who stays? Cassandra... You're out. Effie, that means you're in. You may leave the runway. *hugs Cassandra* Auf weidersen. |

MODEL SELECTION *Heidi walks out onto the runway* Heidi: Hello final 4! You've all come a long way and I'm sure you're ready for your next challenge, but before that, we need to choose models. Let's bring them out. *the models join Heidi on the runway* Models, as you know, this is a competition for you as well because the model paired with the winning designer will receive a $25,000 spread in Elle Magazine. La Cha, as the winner of last weeks challenge, you get to choose first. La Cha: I've been doing well recently and Anabela has been my model, so I'll stick with Anabela. Heidi: Now we will proceed in the order in which you were called last week. Tiara, you're next. Tiara: I'm going to stick with Karlie. Lana: Vlada has been killing it for me, so I'll stick with her. Heidi: And now, Effie, you have the last pick between Alana and Jac. Who's it going to be? Effie: I don't think this comes as much of a shock because I've worked with her every week of the competition, but I'm honestly shocked that no one chose her from be when they had the opportunity. Alana, I choose you. Heidi: Jac, I'm sorry. That means you're out. Auf weidersen. *she leaves the runway* Okay designers. This is the last challenge of the regular competition because the three designers that move on this week will move on to the final and show a 12 piece collection in New York Fashion Week. For this challenge, I want to have a little taste of your line. But there will be no runway show because this week, you're shooting print ads. This print ad will be for your upcoming line that you are showing during fashion week. The three who entice me the most will move on to the finale and one of you will be out. Good luck. Me: THIS IS NOT A RUNWAY PHOTO! |

Will we be judged on the quality of the ad photo as well, or just purely the outfit?

You'll be judged on both. It should look like an ad, but the garment will still be judged.
