c4 t 9: Ponyville!

October 15, 2018 cycle 4 , task 0 Comments

This time, you need to be inspired by a SPECIFIC image from the inspiration - and each one can only be done ONCE! You CANNOT pre-claim anything, or use one someone else has already styled. It is only by submitting your finished outfit that the image is yours. There are more than enough to have one per person, but the longer you wait, the less selection there will be.

We recommend using the colours, names, and cutie marks to inspire your outfit, but you may also want to look up their origins and background stories. If you do so, make sure to comment such and what influence it had on your look when you submit. Beware, there are different versions in different countries (ie different hair colours) and we ONLY want you to use the ones as shown in the pictures below.

Again, you CANNOT CLAIM THEM until your outfit has been submitted, and you CANNOT use one that someone else has already done.

DUE DATE : OCTOBER 27TH

The Ponies:

Boysenberry Pie

Hula Hula

July Waterlily

Baby Milkweed

C4 T8 + Comeback Results

October 15, 2018 0 Comments

Sadly, both Aniyah-xxxx and lostjetty hves been offline for a month now and are eliminated for non submission. XmackennaX wins this round and AS10 re-enters the cycle!

ASB10

xmackennax - 8

LUCY - I love this choice of cup! The colours are matched expertly, and the use of leopard print is subtle but classy. I don't love the bag, and I outright hate that hat as it looks wrong with the off-white of your hair and doesn't even fit properly.

LEIGH - This is a really interesting outfit I think. I like the fact you went with the printed pants and I especially love the pop of blue on your shoes, it ties the whole look together which is great. Like Lucy I don't like that hat. But I do like the bag, it's trendy and edgy!

JENNA - I don't know about the jacket thing, it looks too festival-y with the rest. Also not the hat. But the blue and the leopard is one real well.

Green_lady_m - 7.98

LEIGH - What a lovely choice of cup and colours this is! It's so quirky. I don't love the two tops but I can see why you did it. The shoes and socks are adorable.

LUCY - Personally, I'm conflicted. The bottom half is great - love the shoes and socks, the belt and skirt - but the two shirts are a bit weird, the fanny pack seems like it's from a much edgier outfit, and the glasses are just a no from me.

JENNA - I might like the colour a lot but the more I look the less I like the outfit. I think Lucy got this one for me. I think if you had a biker jacket or some dark sleeves instead of two blues the bag would have gone better.

Alma1902 - 7.27

LUCY - Love the shoes...and that's about it. The portions are just bizzare, the resized skirt with the sweater already looks bulky, which could have worked, except the jacket just makes it wider, and the bag not only emphasises it - but her hand it in her jacket pocket, so how could he be holding it?

LEIGH - I initially loved this. Until I read Lucy's feedback and realised I agree. I think the top+skirt, OR top+jacket, and always those shoes, could have worked. But the portions of everything together is just really awkward, it's unisex in a dressed-in-the-dark way and not in a gender neutral way is what I'm getting.

JENNA - I thought first this was just not my style, but then I saw the colours were all different, and as the judges said, it's too big and wide. Not your best.

AshleighDana - 7.33

LUCY - This is a bit of a messy outfit. Without the bag and necklace, it would have been plain, but with therm, it's a bit too much at once. I like the top, skirt and jacket together though and like that you took a risk.

JENNA - I love the rainbows, did you know it was international coming out day? Because I think that makes this special even more. I don't hate the bag but like Lucy I think it's a lot extra you didn't need it.

LEIGH - This is a fairly mediocre look. The body is very edgy, conservative-yet-sexy which I love. But like the others said, the accessories are all a bit much.

COMEBACK TASK - Cowboot Glam

October 03, 2018 0 Comments

It's time the cowboy boot got a bit of a makeover!

We want to see you make an outfit using cowboy boots - but with none of those old-fashioned country values. Make it worthy of a modern NYC or Paris or even Tokyo fashion week street snap!

WHAT IS A COWBOY BOOT?

A cowboy boot falls ABOVE the ankle and BELOW the knee. There is either no heel, or a chunky low one. There is a v-shaped front. Here are some examples:

C4 T7: Feedback

September 20, 2018 0 Comments

Very sorry for the week's delay - I had a bunch of unexpected delays, and then neither of the other judges were responding, and my laptop broke which made writing the feedback post a little tricky! But it's here now, albeit without Fonti's input.

I also did not anticipate that so many items would leave the plaza in the middle of this task. Ultimately, we didn't score as we felt it would be unfair to eliminate anyone based off of this round.

- Lucy (sunnysidessue)

aniyah-xxxx & xmackennax

LEIGH - Looking at what you two had to work with, I'm almost surprised you managed to get this much yellow! There's a little red on Aniyah's shoe band thing but I think there were maybe one or two yellow shoes to being with. For the outfits, I love xMackennax's layering, the bag is maybe a bit pale for the look but it does match the partners. Aniyah-xxxx looks a little plain compared, although they probably used a similar number of items, there's just less volume on it. I thing you did well to match the shades, and using the bodmod parts.

LUCY - Leigh's covered this one I think! I love the way Aniyah's crossbody echoes Mackenna's off the shoulder top, it's subtle but cool. In terms of items, you had the smallest selection, so I'm impressed you found these. Aniyah's skirt I'm not sure I'd call yellow though.

Ashleighdana & Alma1902

LUCY - I know Ashleighdana was having some technical issues, so I'm surprised she submitted something so well layered, I really love the use of the bra top. Alma's pants don't quite fit the one-tone vibe of Ash's, but the overall asthetic and use of matching jacket and bag pull them together well enough.

LEIGH - You two had the most clothes and the least bags, I'm glad you found ones you both could use and worked it. I don't like AshleighDana's shoes but there really weren't many to choose from. Liek Lucy pointed out, Alma's pants are a vastly different kind of green which I think on her own look does look weird, but with AshleighDana matching totally it makes it worse.

Green_Lady_M + LostJetty

LUCY - You've both put a great deal of layering into this, which I always love to see. I'm not so sure LostJetty's paid off, though, as while I like the skirt, the double sleeves are a bit much. I'm also not convinced that these match much beyond the fact they're both purple with skirts - I'd have liked to see the same shapes, items, or shades being used.

LEIGH - They kind of match, if skirts and boots make a match. I hate both bags, I'm not sure if you couldn't have found better ones or just have left them off completely. I do like the layers you've put.

C4 T7: Colour Away

August 27, 2018 0 Comments

Guess what? It's time for another team task! Each team is assigned a colour.

You must use only that colour, with the exception of small metallic/monochrome details - not full items - like silver clasps, gold handles, shoe heels etc - and we will judge how you style those just like any other task, so choose carefully!

As it is a team task, you will be judged on team co-ordination, so you'll need to work hard to find ways to look good together within the assigned colours.

SMALL amounts of silver/gold are allowed as they are often impossible to remove or cover, however, if you use both and it looks bad you will be judged accordingly.

DUE - SEPTEMBER 8

If you have not had decent communication with your partner by next Friday, please contact Leigh (leighways) to get a temporary partner.

TEAMS:

Alma1902 + AshleighDana = GreenAniyah-xxx + xmackennax = Yellow
Lostjetty + Green_LadyM = Purple

C4 T6: Results

August 27, 2018 cycle 4 , feedback 0 Comments

Lostjetty - 8.75
XmackennaX & Green_Lady_M - 8
ANIYAH-XXXX & AshleighDana - 7.83
Alma1902 - 7.58
ASB10 - 6.75

This week's much deserved winner is LostJetty! This tasks' scores were so close, we had not one but two ties. Unfortunately, though, we do need to have an elimination - and with the lowest score, that means we have to say goodbye to ASB10 . We hope to see you compete again!

Note - Leigh did not comment, but did provide ratings, as she had an exam this week.

Alma1902 - 7.58

FONTI - I really like your outfit and the pattern looks very accurate, still it is in the top options of catalog right now as it is a fresh release and using both of them skirt and top, makes me think that you didn't want to put too many efforts on the task, you went on the easy way. Also, no layers no tricks. However you look like an YSL real life model and the boots with their static is a smart choise. Please add a short description next time.

LUCY - Like Fonti mentioned, using the top and bottom together like they originally were seems like a bit of a cop out. I like the minimal but interestingly shaped layers of the top half, but the boots are hideous and need to go.

Lostjetty - 8.75

FONTI - This animal print paper is the last I would choose, however you styled your look in a very good way. You keep your animal print outfit quite and smooth. Very well combined tones. I like it!

LUCY - I think you captured this print very well with the skirt, and I like that most pieces are designed to make you look at the bold print, while still retaining texture throughout. The ginormous bag even looks good, and that's a hard thing to pull off proportionately.

XmackennaX - 8

FONTI - You chose the most beautiful pattern and perhaps the most difficult one! You submitted a decent and fine as-pretty-as-paper outfit. I don't quite know the clothes you wear so I can't say if you have some smart layers or just the basic ones. However, your look has a good affection on me.

LUCY - You definitely chose a difficult print, given the total lack of colour, and I think you did a wonderful job with it. I love the layers and different textures, and how you put thought into making it more casual, because like you said, it could have gone 'wedding' instead very easily. I love the gold additions!

ASB10 - 6.75

FONTI - I'd never find by myself what paper was your inspiration. All that nude tones and skin and the fragility and then in contrast with all the tattoos and the over-the-knee-boots and the denim... It just don't work at least for me! You also have misfits here & there. What I like the most is your yellow color pops. Please add a short description next time.

LUCY - I can somewhat see where your inspiration came from - the colours are sort-of there, and the shorts reflect the texture somewhat. But as an outfit... this just feels, well, mismatched. The boots are very 'runway/kardashian', she shorts are very childlike and summery, and the coat is a kind of casual-glam mix. The singlet could go either way. I just don't know where I'd see this look together, which is unsettling.

ASHLEIGHDANA (C) - 7.33 + 0.5 = 7.83

FONTI - You went for a difficult pattern lady. It's not a pretty bad outfit, but it's not a pretty good one either. You combined the colors less or more but in a much louder way than in pattern. I'm not sure about the layers, are these 2 tops or 1? 2 skirts or 1? I'd look out for some mint colored clothes. And the bag is not the right one!

LUCY - I think you had a good go at a very difficult print. You've definitely captured the colours, and to an extent the texture, but as far as the outfit goes it's not the best - though not the worst, either. I feel like it's simultaneously too much colour, and not enough layers.

GREEN_LADY_M (J) = 8

FONTI - Cool pattern comes with a cool look. It has something from a student paper so I think your interpretation has a point! It don't look like the pattern but it sense like the pattern. Like a crazy teenage girl. I like it a lot!

LUCY - I like that you didn't take the pattern quite so literally, but it's still very obviously incorporated in the look, and I like the prepster concept. I probably would have ditched one of the bags, they're giving off very conflicting vibes.

ANIYAH-XXXX (A) - 7.83

FONTI - This entry is my favorite one. One of the hardest choices, yet you interpreted it with such a fine and delicate way! The result is so elegant. I can overlook the lack of layers because the styling is awesome. In love with it! A-mazing chandelier earrings!

LUCY - I like this well enough, but it feels quite plain compared to the other entries. I like the different elements you used to convey the pattern as lace rather than just using a print.
