Stylista’s Top Four
This week on Stylista, the final four have to pick a replacement model to show off a particular dress. we mostly see Megan complaining about how Johanna doesn’t know what she is doing, since she is just too enthusiastic about everything, more like Megan at 15, and her model is too slim for the outline of the dress. In the end, however, Megan does prove right, when she wins the challenge.
They then get to create a new designer page after they meet some designers and choose which one they want to work with. It does have to be an up and comer, rather than someone who has been around for a while. Megan picks the teams as follows: Team 1 is Ashlie and DyShawn, and Team 2 is Johanna and Megan. She thinks Johanna is stronger in terms of writing. DyShawn was hurt, though, since he and Megan have always been friends.
At this point, I’m realizing that there is no one left that I like that much. Actually, I never liked anyone that much. But I guess if one of them has to win, I’d go with Ashlie or DyShawn. Megan is just annoying and Johanna tries too hard.
They find out a little twist to this challenge is that they have to then create their own runway show using the designers clothes. It seems like it was exciting and upsetting all at once.
Then it turns out that both teams picked the same designer, Jolibe. So now they had to present their arguments to see who the designer would choose. The designer choose Ashlie and DyShawn because they were more enthusiastic. Mostly cause the blase Megan made the pitch for the other team.
Then Johanna goes on to nearly insult the new designer, by talking about what she doesn’t like of his designs. Megan has to take her aside and explain that this show is about the designer’s vision, not hers. The DyShawn and Ashlie take most of the good shoes out of the closet and since it’s first come, first served, they now have to wait to see what they don’t use.
The makeup guy seemed to be mostly selling Max Factor makeup. Ashlie and DyShawn used some weird looking makeup designs, like thick eyebrows. Plus, they seemed pretty confused about where things were and what was happening.
Megan, however, really did seem to know what she was doing. She took charge and was able to get everyone on the same page and know what they were doing. All the others seemed a little too friendly and chatty with the models, who probably preferred specific direction.
I’m not sure I really get fashion, cause although some of the clothes looked pretty, not too many of then looked like anything anyone would actually wear. Anyone over a size 2, anyway.
So when they were putting their pages together, it seemed like Megan and Johanna were doing better, but Johanna is still pretty intense about it.
In to the panel, as for Team 1, the judges liked the makeup and the clothes, but didn’t care for how they laid out the page, since nothing popped, and also, there were typos. Once again, there are too many pics on the page. Didn’t Ashlie do that last week, too? For Team 2, the judges didn’t care as much for the clothes, but they seemed to liked the layout better, although then they said it was too safe. They also complained because there was no photo which was a close up of the print, since the whole point of their layout was his Egyptian print. Also, they didn’t like that in the one picture of the designer with the models, they models weren’t dressed in his designs. That did seem pretty stupid.
The winning team is Team 2, Megan and Johanna. Which means we are about to lose either Ashlie or DyShawn. Anne tells them that Ashlie has been very strong throughout the competition, but her editing skills are not good, even after the strong warning she was given last week, and DyShawn has a great eye for styling, but has no attention to detail.
In the end, Anne says that DyShawn has earned another week at Elle and that Ashlie is not the right fit.
