A little switch up this time-

Models choose your designers-
This was wrong. 2 models eliminated by drawing names. They never would have done this to a designer, so they shouldnt do it to a model.

Then the models choose a icon for the Designers to update their look-

So on to designer - Icon -design


Angela-Audry Hepburn- man this could have been dangerious.
Audry was perfection.And angela coose wisely in keeping with the straight lines and playing istead w/ the texture. She took a basic black dress, added chiffon(?), and reigned in her addition to rosettes (she should have eliminated the one on the side). Updated by having lower neck line to accentuatte the cleavage....Very nice. This girl has possibilitys...who have thunk it.


Uli- Diana Ross- Long tight flowwing at the bottom, purple. I didnt like it, thought itr was too busy, but will admit i could see Miss Ross wearing it

Laura- Katherine Hepburn- Grat choice for Laura. it keep the style of Kate (high waist slacks, and monochrome Blouse). Updated it with an extra large collar. Subtle and definately you could see which Icon she had. She nailed it.

Vincent- Twiggy- the judges reamed him for this, but i could see who his icon was. He updated the swinging british 60's. That being said, not a fan of it. Its biggest mistake (as pointed out) was the sleaves. They should have stopped right at the shouders

Jeffery- Madonna- The most santino like dress yet. But it again stated the icon by style. Dress was uneven especxially in the back. Top was overly large and didnt moved when the model did. Adequete.

Robert-Jacki O- boring,boring,boring- wrong material, boring, only here because 1 was worse.

Alison- Farrah- Dress and hair harkened Farrah and the 70's with out feeling old, Great colour, chiffon (again), and deep cleavage.Nice, always good work from alison

Bradly- Cher- realy hideous silver alme top (almost cropped) and yha wasnt the worse. The model came out and so did the crotch of the pants (not ripped, protruding) poorly made, this man was in over his head. Michael & Niana said with cher he could have made anything (the exception was this mostrosity).Almost lost to robert but , Is OUT

Kayne- Marilyn Monroe -Bondage/goth Marilyn updated -with out being tacky. The streach material on the rear is what i think cost him this comp.Showed too much definition in the buttocks. His idea of the ruffle took this dress from good to stellar.

Michael- Pam Greer-FOXY Brown- Finaly My fave gets a win, and it wasnt my favorite outfit this week. Magenta adds to the update, as did the hot pants. Right outfit, right Icon, right model, Right On!
only compalint I din't like this outfits Chanel inspired(or really Chanel belt).

These are my truths tell me yours

Although it was great for Michael to finally get some recognition I wasn't crazy about his outift. I actually liked Angelas black dress the best. What a surprise after the cheesy looking outfits she did from the first couple shows.

Again I'm suprirsed Angela is stepping up, good for her. I'm glad Michael won, I think his did look the best.

I'm so glad Michael won, and finally got some damned camera time. I think his designs have all been among the best. It was cool to see him stick up for Angela too. Speaking of Angela, I thought he dress was gorgeous.

Uli is my favorite of the designers, I really think she will make it to the finale.

Michael's was great and once I saw it, I knew he won!

Im getting sick of Rocker Boy's whining/bitching.

Pepette - I hate Jeffrey's neck tattoo too. I can't stand looking at him.

I thought that Allison's was one of the worst. When the model came out wearing it, I thought, "Ugh!" It made a skinny model look fat. And I didn't know, other than the hair, what about it had anything at all to do with Farrah Fawcett? On the other hand, Farrah was never any kind of a fashion icon anyway. It was all about the hair and the mouth full of big teeth.

Eeew. Just eeew.

I can't imagine Farrah wearing that at any time in her life.

Laura does beautiful work. And I love those colors. And that is something I could definitely see Hepburn in. Just an aside. When I die and come back, I want to have long legs. Thank you.


When they focused so much on Michael, I was really scared. It either meant that he was going to win or he was going to be eliminated. I was so happy it was the former! His outfit was pretty, well constructed, and he obviously put a lot of thought into it. It fit Pam Grear's screen persona to a "T."


Wow, looking at the picture, I realize how really, really skinny the model is. Pam was not a stick. Just an aside.

I think this assignment was harder than it appeared. In addition to constructing a well-made garment, it required the designers to do three things - distill the essential qualities from a fashion icon, update those qualities, and bring together a total fashion look for the model. Some people got part of it right, but only a few did everything they were supposed to. In order, from best to worst, IMO:

Kayne- Marilyn Monroe For me, the top position was a toss-up between Kayne and Michael. It was a tough call, but I am leaning slightly more toward Kayne. I think he captured Marilyn's style and made it contemporary. For those of you who think the derriere was too defined are forgetting the famous gold lame dress - it clung with each movement. This was an outstanding effort from Kayne.

Michael- Pam Greer-FOXY Brown When I saw the completed outfit, my first thought was "Pam Grier would wear this NOW" so it was tough to choose my op two. I was glad Michael won. But I wouldn't have been disappointed if Kayne had.

Uli- Diana Ross Again, the completed outfit is something I could see Miss Poss choosing. The fabric was fantastic, but I thought Uli didn't quite modernize the look as much as Kayne or Michael did.

Laura- Katherine Hepburn Similar reaction to Laura's design as to Uli's. Excellent work, though, and unlike the other selections, this could look could actually filter down to the mass market, which is something that a style icon does - inspire popular fashion.

Angela-Audry Hepburn Like others, I thought the rosette at the waist could go. Other than that, I thought Angela had a pretty good overall look. If you look at the current fall fashions, the looks of Audrey and Jackie O are being reimagined, so I thought that Angela and Robert might have more of a challenge creating a look that isn't currently being seen on the runway. Angela definitely rose to the challenge.

Jeffery- Madonna I have mixed feelings on Jeffery's interpretation. On the one hand, the whole "Boy Toy" look was Madonna's breakthrough look, and her impact on popular fashion has never had quite the same impact. However, Madonna is also known for reinventing herself, and this ensemble is more a revisitation. So while he captured a look and modrnized it, which was a part of the challenge, he kind of dismissed the "reinvention" part of Madonna's personality. So to me, he didn't score as high as other designers.

Alison- Farrah I have to say, the hair was good, but the dress didn't capture the "Farrah" vibe, which was all about being the quintessential "California girl" (even though she was from Texas). The dress was pretty but unlike other designers, didn't automatically call to mind Farrah Fawcett. If I hadn't known who the icons were beforehand, I wouldn't have said Farrah. I agree with other people (and not just in this forum) who questioned Farrah as a fashion icon. I think Alison may have had a slight disadvantage is this challenge.

I am completely baffled by my bottom three. I don't know what any of them were thinking.

Robert-Jacki O Yeah, boring, but it would sell. There was nothing wrong with the outfit itself, except that it didn't meet any of the requirements of the challenge. Jackie O was always tailored, crisp, and careful, and this outfit was none of those things. I have no idea why Robert abandoned his first fabric choice - it was a beautiful color, and would have lent itself well to a tailored but casual design. Ack!

Vincent- Twiggy The man has a tendency to overdo something that puts his designs over the edge from awesome to aweful. While I think I know what he was going for, his finished ensemble had too many unnecessary extras. It wound up looking thrown together. I think it's important to remember that Twiggy's 60's look had a minimalist silhouette - and Vincent's dress did not. Bad call.

Bradley- Cher I think Bradley has been living under a rock. How could be not know Cher's style? True, she hasn't been in the spotlight much lately, but that video of her on the aircraft carrier in the butt-baring leather get-up, or the clip of her at the Oscars in Bob Mackie's outrageous black gown and headdress, have been in the public conscious for - well, forever. I think Cher would be easier to do than Farrah. And his outfit wasn't all that well-made. He definitely deserved to go.
