In the episode this week, it is Katy B, who will be designed for, by the Styled To Rock designers.
There are 9 remaining designers in the competition, who will be the next name to light up the fahion world ?
Katy. B is a dubstep music superstar, she will be wearing the winning designers outfit at a huge global event
showcase and launch of the Coca-Cola Olympic 2012 music single with Mark Ronson.
Katy.B. gives the designers her guidlines for the outfit, they are :
"two looks in one outfit"
"interviews with the press"
"...convert for stage performance"
"move freely on stage"
"...an outfit that sparkles"
"...laid back urban style".
Styled To Rock designers are given the oppartunity to discuss their ideas with Katy.B.
The designers have 3 days and a budget of £250 to complete the outfit.
They have 3 hours to shop for everything that they require to make an outfit from fabric to embelishments.
Once the fashion designers return, Nicola Roberts notices that some of the designers have purchased a certain type of material, which is easier to work with, the material is neoprene, Nicola speaks to the styled to rock designers about this issue.
Henry Holland has contacted some of his contacts to put on a networking event for the Styled To Rock designers, too meet real life fashion industry people, journalists, fashion buyers and other industry people. An evening of hob nobbing with the fashion industry elite. It is work .
At the network event Chanelle has chosen to wear a dress which some of the other designers comment on being inappropriate, anyway it is time to shmooze, now is the chance for the designers to talk with the guests and show off the clothes they have designed which are on display around the room. The designers compete with each other to get the attention of the guests, sometimes causing upset, being rude by interupting other designers when talking. Eventually after not feeling well all day, Ben decides to leave the network event as he is too unwell, he heads off for lemsip and an early night.
After 3 days of blood, sweat and sewing the designers head to the showcase to meet with the mentors and Katy.B, the designers will present their designs in front of them to judge. They must show creativity, passion and also show that they have stuck to the brief.
Each of the styled to rock designers showcase the outfit they have made for the challenge, when all the designers have shown their outfits it is time for Katy.B and the mentors to deliberate.
A number of designs have caught the judges eyes for the right and wrong reasons.
While Katy.B toils with her final decision, the designers wait anxiously backstage.
All the designers enter the showcase room and Katy.B announces that the winning outfit is Steve's.
The mentors must now decide who they will announce as the 2 designers who will face elimination. The not so nice bit. There is a couple of people that the mentors would like to speak to back at the studio, they are Ben and Chanelle.
Reasons for Ben : the outfit that he showed was just so far away from the brief and was also so far removed from Katy and what she is about.
Reasons for Chanelle : her oufit also showed that she was not really on the brief, and a little bit too far in the wrong direction for what Katy.b was asking for.
As the sunsets Ben and Chanelle make their way to the dreaded elimination room, for one of them it will be for the final time.
Ben and Chanelle are given the oppartuinity to talk with the panel judges to explain their designs, and answer any questions the mentors have.
After some deliberation the mentors reach their final decision, the verdict is, Chanelle is asked to leave.
Was itt the right decision to send Chanelle home ?
Who is your favorite designer on Styled To Rock ?Which celebrity would you like to design or style an outfit for ?
where could i find a top like steve made on katy b like semi sheer ?
ReplyDeleteSteve's creativity in making hand made clothes using innovation is key to success in fashion.
DeleteYou could purchase a nude colour compression top and team it with a black sheer top, like Rick Owens, to reach a similar result to Steve's.
