They just gave us a break from a team challenge and then they just throw another one at us. The challenge was to work as a team to create their own fabrics using their HP technology suite and create a cohesive collection but only 3 pieces had to contain their custom made fabrics. We knew whichever team got Josh M. and Bert would have their entire teams confessionals be complaining about them but to have them on one team gives you a public fight along with a ton of confessionals totally bitching about it. Well as you know one team contained Josh M., Bert, Becky, Laura and Kimberly which named themselves Team Nuts and Bolts but I'd just leave out the Bolts part since they are all nuts. The other team consisted of Anthony Ryan, Anya, Bryce, Olivier and Viktor, they went by Team Chaos although pretty much they were all in harmony. Let's see how this team dynamics affects their designs:
Team Chaos:
Print Fabrics:
I liked all their prints and when it became fabric, I liked it even more.
Anthony Ryan
I think that this design looks very preppy punk, I know that totally clashes but I get a preppy feel from the look but it has an overall light punkish look. This is very wearable and sellable, the fabrics looks very good on this design. That pop of color is very nice but I'm not a fan of the color.
Anya:
I thought this was a nice cocktail dress, not a standout really but when it turned around and I saw that back I completely thought it was a strong look after that. It's nicely made and the use of the print is nice, that open square back really gives this dress that sex appeal that is lacking in the front.
Bryce:
This look was the more casual look from this collection, it fits in with the rest. Those shorts look great and I like that the top has a nice movement and is casual daywear but definitely not the best look in the bunch like I said with Anthony's look not a fan of the color.
Olivier:
I wasn't a fan of this look because I felt once again Olivier goes with a pretty muted look but when the close up of the look shows it completely changes my mind. The jacket is so well-made and definitely looks good, the pants actually looks better on the show than it does in this photo.
Viktor:
I really like this dress! That sheer effect on top along with the slight makes this dress less generic, then that unique print really makes dress interesting. Not much to say other than this look is just great.
Team Nuts and Bolts:
Fabric Prints:
I get the idea behind these fabrics with their concept of a clock but these fabrics are just terrible.
Becky:
I would say this look is just like all of Becky's work so far on the show. It's been a bit mundane, frumpy, very bland work. I don't like the way the top looks along with the color and that word print skirt kind of sucks. The jacket is alright but definitely not good enough to save this terrible outfit.
Bert:
I like this dress, well almost, the length is just all wrong. He could have made it longer to the ground or shorter to above the knee this would have been probably the best look on the team. I like the zipper going across the front of the dress. Like I said before the print is not so great but he was able to work with it and make it at least partially presentable and he had to use it since no one else really wanted to work with this print and I can't blame them.
Josh M.:
Ugh this ugly word print again! I mean text prints do work sometimes but this is not one of those cases and I can't stand looking at that much of it at once. Whoever chose those words really didn't really think if people actually wanted to wear them. The jacket was nice and interesting and it has that cog concept behind it and I like the color of navy blue top but feel it just doesn't completely fit in with the outfit.
Kimberly:
I really like this top and that blue that sticks out but whatever that brown skirt thing is suppose to be looks just plain atrocious. The shape is never what a woman wants around her hips, maybe it rided up too high and made it look like this but that skirt is just ugly and I don't want to look at this any longer than I have to.
Laura:
I would say this has to be the best look on this team yet it really doesn't fit in with the rest. I mean yes the blue shows up in other pieces and it incorporates that ugly word print but it doesn't have that casual frumpiness about it that many of the others have. Love the blue color and really digging this jumpsuit although I've seen quite a few this season along with that zipper detailing.
I think it's obvious who I think had the best team and collection, congrats Team Chaos!
So who did I crown the winner of this challenge?
Viktor! He had the best look, it was a fantastic evening look that used a print that was unique and cohesive with his teammates. It was definitely a standout among a bunch of great outfits.
Let's see who I thought should be out this challenge
Becky! I've been over Becky's design aesthetic for awhile now, it's just too frumpy and has no modern ideas behind it She is a great tailor but no creativity leaves you with nothing to really design about. I'm glad she's gone because I can't stand to see something like this again.
