So today was my challenge on the KTLA Katwalk and I was very excited and curious to see what the designers came up with!! They all tried really hard to design within my brand essence and vibe but I can’t say they all met the challenge!! (I am super proud of their efforts though!!)

Jose did a great job with his fun skirt, with great pleat detailing!  I like how he added the black insets on the side seams.  His shirt was cute with the cut outs, and the vest was a nice touch.  My only issue is I am not a big fan of the color yellow or mustard which is what he did the skirt in. He gets an A for effort!!

Madeline was my winner today!! (Good job Madeline with keeping it with my brand essence as Stephen mentioned today!!) I was very impressed with your design and where and how you studded the dress.  I loved the length, and I really liked the chain bracelet attached to the dress!! (that was awesome!!).  The color was nice as well, it came out great!

Franco, I am sorry to say didn’t get the challenge.  I didn’t like the tye die or the shape of the dress. My challenge was something you could wear out at night that is hot and sexy and he gave me day. The vest didn’t go at all and I didn’t understand the cowboy boots!

Rochelle tried very hard as well to make a rocker look but it was overkill in my opinion.  I think you could have lost the pants and I would have preferred to see a lower chain belt as opposed to a waist belt. I appreciate that you threw the studs in but overall it wasn’t a Lisa Kline look at all.

Alexis was the second runner up in my opinion.  He got the challenge and my vibe.  I didn’t mind the how he made the hoodie tunic (or I would sell as a dress!!).  I like how he treated the fabric with the waxing.  I like saftey pins, but there were too many!!! Less is more!!

So to all the designers great job!!  I know it is very stressful and you are in a time crunch and have the pressure to please so many different people!! Overall I was very impressed thank you for taking on my challenge! I want to mention how much I LOVE Michaela!!  Her energy is so great and contagious!  She brings life to the stage and is so positive and fun!! Thank you for all your support and props for all of us judges!! I can’t wait for Stephen’s bathing suit challenge!!  I love great sexy swimwear!!

Good luck to all the designers!! Xo,
