Week 11: It’s Fashion Baby
Challenge: The designers created fashions for babies. The winning boy and girl looks will be added to Heidi’s line of kids wear, Truly Scrumptious.
Guest judge: Hilary Duff
Top 4: Christopher Palu, Dmitry Sholokhov, Fabio Costa, Sonjia Williams
Bottom 2: Elena Slivnyak, Melissa Fleis
Highlights/Lowlights:
* As part of the challenge, the designers each got a baby simulator (a doll used by high schools to teach teens about caring for a baby) to mind while working. If it cried, it either needed to be fed, rocked, or have a diaper change.
* On seeing the real kids they were making fashions for this week, Dmitry said he didn’t know how old the kids were but they couldn’t talk yet. It would be like making an outfit for a cat.
* We learned that Fabio’s first job on coming to New York was babysitter.
* Towards the end of the challenge, Tim came to the workroom to take the “kids” to daycare so the designers could finish up.
* Michael Kors got a lesson on what little boys like to wear (costumes with capes) from moms on the judging panel, Heidi and Hilary.
Winners: Christopher Palu, Sonjia Williams
Eliminated: Elena Slivnyak
Next week: The avant garde challenge.
