On The Catwalk 3

"On The Catwalk 3", a Photoshoot & Voting Game, is the third in Shattered's On The Catwalk Series. The game is based off of the US version of the TV show Project Runway.

On the Catwalk is BACK, for a third round. This time around, Anna Maria Jagodzinska is on the hunt for 18 up-and-coming fashion designers with a dream in their heads and a sewing needle in their hands. But in the end, only one of these designers will get the chance to have their collections shown all around the world, from New York to Paris and Milan. IS IT YOU?

You must create a designer identity for yourself in this competition. In this game, you must choose runway looks that fit the brief of the task given with the help of your chosen model's style.com page. At the beginning of each week, there will be Model Selection. In this event, you must send me a ranking of the remaining models from the one you'd like to work with most to the least. The order that you will receive your model is based on who has the highest to the lowest Weekly Score the previous week. If a designer higher in the rankings has chosen your first choice, I will go down your list to the highest model on your list who hasn't been chosen and she will be yours. In this contest, for the most part there will be one design challenge a week. When you send in your design for the week, you must also send in a description of your design explaining yourself. This will play a part in judging. At judging, first I will call the designers who were in the middle of the pack in terms of scoring and they will be safe from elimination. Out of the remaining 6 designers, they represent the highest and lowest scorers of the week. Those designers will have their descriptions displayed as well as judges' comments following. At elimination time, I will call the designers who are safe; the highest scorer of the week gets first model choice the next week. When it gets to the two lowest scoring designers, out of them at least one will be eliminated based on their Weekly Score. The final three designers will show a twelve-piece collection for the finale, and out of those three one will be crowned the winner based on their Overall Score throughout the competition.

Episode 1: Show Me What You Got

 * Well designers, here is your first task. When you applied to this competition, you all showed me a look that was in your design portfolio, something that represented you as a designer. But of course, things change, especially our skills. As we go along in the industry, we develop new talents and our design skills gradually grow. So for your first task, I want you to simply show me what you got as of today now that you have grown as a designer. I want a strong look, something that speaks to the consumers, and something that is unique and creative because of those new skills you've developed over the years. This design can be anything you want, just make sure it's constructed well and stands out.
 * WINNER: Natalie
 * ELIMINATED: Carnie

Episode 2: Show Stopper

 * Hey designers! So I thought after a long, strenuous week in the workroom and surviving the first elimination, I feel like you all need a little relaxation time. So this week, you all are heading to a classy industry party! Sounds fun, right? But, you won't be arriving alone. With each of you will be your muse accompanying you, wearing your second design task look. This look should be a chic dress that can be worn to a fashion event and should have all attention on your model. I want your muses to be the hits of the party in your designs. Intricate details, amazing craftsmanship, you know the deal. She should be a real show stopper in the look you create this week, but please make it for the right reasons.
 * WINNER: Natassia
 * ELIMINATED: Laura-Ashley

Episode 3: Color Blocked

 * This week, I'm taking away an element of fashion design that I know most of you love, and that is color. For this design challenge, you all must create a look using ONLY neutral tone fabrics. Whites, tans, grays, peaches, you know the deal. I want no colors whatsoever anywhere in this design. I would also prefer this outfit to be more than one piece, something other than just a simple cocktail dress or gown. A top and skirt, shorts, a jacket, etc. If you REALLY cannot do this, then a dress will be fine. So, good luck designers, and shoot for more than one piece to your designs.
 * WINNER: Adele
 * ELIMINATED: X

Episode 4: Day and Night

 * For this week, as you designers know already, you'll be working on teams. For this task, your team must create two cohesive looks; a daytime look and a nightlife look. These pieces must correlate with each other in some way, whether it be fabric choice, color choice, certain aspects of the designs such as bold shoulders, similar pieces to your designs such as both looks contain a blazer, etc. It's up to you guys how you want to make them relate, but just make sure they do. Each designer will create one of the looks; the team leader must decide which of you is doing what look.
 * WINNER: Antonela
 * ELIMINATED: Marianna, Tabitha

Episode 5: Femme Fatale

 * For this design challenge, you designers will be creating looks fitting for a femme fatale. Your designs first off must be all black. Every piece in your garment must not be any color but that. Your looks should be strong, powerful looks that make your muse look like a fierce, mighty woman. You can throw in a little androgyny as in the example, or you can go for a bold sexy look, a strong ferocious look, it's completely up to you. Just make sure your look is strong and your muse looks like she won't take s**t from anyone. Think women empowerment.
 * WINNER: Zimbia-Zimbia
 * ELIMINATED: Matyr

Episode 6: Where The Wild Things Are

 * Well hello there, designers! This week, we're taking reference from a popular family movie that has recently received rave reviews, 'Where the Wild Things Are'. For your design challenge, you must create a look inspired by the movie. Things to incorporate in your look include furs, animal prints, soft fabrics such as wool, and more. You should keep the colors earthy; use earth tones such as shades of brown, deep greens and reds, light warm colors, etc. Refer to the examples below as well to get a feel of what I'm looking for for this task. So good luck, and I want to see some great designs this week! Make Maurice Sendak (the writer of the 1963 book that started it all) proud, guys!
 * WINNER: Talyda
 * ELIMINATED: Élodie

Episode 7: An Evening Affair

 * Hey everyone! It's down to twelve designers; can you believe it? Anyway, for this week's task, you all will be creating chic, glamorous evening gowns. I want to see beautiful chiffons, flowing fabrics, embellishments, whatever you can pull out of your hat. I don't want anything tacky, designers; be sure to avoid that. These gowns should be quite sophisticated and perfect for a dinner party or the red carpet. Particularly the red carpet, because the winning design will be worn on the red carpet by this week's guest judge. Who is it, you may ask? You'll find out at judging.
 * Guest Judge: Mary-Kate Olsen
 * WINNER: Missez
 * WITHDREW: Marc

Episode 8: S/S 2010 Trends

 * Wow, designers, spring is finally here! In order to commemorate the arrival of the actual season, we're gonna pay homage to the past fashion season. This week, you designers must create a look that relates to one of the hottest trends from the Spring/Summer 2010 runway season. You can find the six trends fully explained as well as examples here. They are New Minimalism, Sportswear, Military Wear, Pastoral, Patterns, and Underwear as Outerwear. Be sure to tell me which trend you are incorporating when you show me your look, don't have me guessing.
 * WINNER: Adele
 * ELIMINATED: Tommy

Episode 9: Get Inspired

 * The Top 10. Did you all expect to make it to this point? You guys should be so proud of yourselves. So this week, for your Catwalk Challenge, you all must create two looks. One look is a normal everyday look, and for the second look you all will have to draw inspiration from that first look to create an avant garde look. You can be inspired by the style of the outfit, the fabric, the colors, anything. Oh, and did I forget to mention you'll be working in teams of two? Haha. You all must go sign up in the thread who you want to work with this week; I'll be posting a sign-up list shortly. One of you must create the everyday look, and the other must create the avant garde look. You two must also designate a team leader amongst yourselves.
 * WINNER: Fifi
 * ELIMINATED: Adele

Episode 10: High Society Girl

 * We are halfway through the competition, designers! Did any of you think you would make it this far? Well this week, the stakes are higher. For your challenge this week, you all must create a classy, sophisticated, high class outfit that can be seen on a socialite. Think rich heiress/socialite when creating your designs this week, guys. Furs, blazers, tailored jackets/suits, short dresses, you guys know the deal. If you use accessories, make sure they complement the outfit well and fit the classy aesthetic. I don't want to see anything tacky coming from you all, these ensembles you are creating should be the complete opposite. Hopefully you all impress Miss Blake Lively, who will be wearing the winning design in an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl and chooses which look she wants to wear out of the Top 3. And, don't forget, the winner also gets Immunity next week which guarantees them a spot in the Final 7.
 * Guest Judge: Blake Lively
 * WINNER: Zimbia-Zimbia
 * ELIMINATED: Missez

Episode 11: Style Decades

 * Can you believe we are only 4 weeks away from Bryant Park? 5 more of you have to go before we get there, though, so in these next few weeks make sure that you aren't one of them. For this design challenge, you all must create a garment representative of fashions from the past. The 40's, the 80's (as represented in the example), the Renaissance, any time period from 1990 back. Be sure to have a specific period in mind, and draw inspiration from the style of dress at that time to create your garments. 90's grunge, '20s flapper girls, 1700's petticoats, you get the idea. Be sure to tell me which time period you are portraying, of course, in your descriptions. So, give me your best every week from here on out if you want to make it to NYFW.
 * WINNER: Natalie
 * ELIMINATED: Chad

Episode 12: New Territory

 * Well, designers, it's time to step into some new territory for you all. For your challenge this week, you all will be designing MENSWEAR. You will all work with a male model and showcase your design on the runway on that model. This menswear look can be anything you desire, but try not to go avant garde, focus more on ready-to-wear. You may choose any look you want from the designated runway site, but of course, you all know that Sean O'Pry is off limits.
 * WINNER: Natalie
 * ELIMINATED: Natassia

Episode 13: Pre-Bryant Park Showing

 * THE WEEK BEFORE BRYANT PARK. Are you all excited? Well, you definitely should be; you all have made it so far and knocked down the competition one by one to get here. At the end of this week, you all will be choosing which muse will be accompanying you to Bryant Park to walk in your show. But sadly, you all may not be seeing them this week, because we have a large-scale challenge for you all to complete. For your challenge, you all are familiar with 'Pre-Collections', i.e. Pre-Fall, that sort of give some leeway to what's to come for that designer's main collection? Well this week, you all will be designing a look that might be a part of your 'Pre-Collection' and represents your Final Collection. That's right, you all need to start thinking about your collections, because this look will represent it. Even more challenging, is the fact that the piece you create must be a haute couture gown. Interesting shapes and fresh elements will definitely get your look noticed, and make sure that this gown could fit perfectly into your Final Collection. For your description, you must explain your Final Collection to me, including the name of your collection, and how this piece ties in as well as explaining the piece to me.
