Seen on FM-Style: Branding

Well, well, well... if it isn't the Stylish Stardoll Sisters Mireia with a new review on Cycle 14! This time is for Task 4. If you don't remember about last week, I'll put you into what was going on when reaching this task on the cycle.

One team left (The Trinity), so there were only 8 teams left, one of them with only one contestant, so Myrthe (bueno-koekje_xx) was relocated into MAC team, where mathildamath had left and there were only two. So, for this task 7 teams were sending entries.

If you want to follow the cycle closely you will need to join the club FM-Style on Stardoll. To show you a little of what's going on in case you don't know the fashion competitions we host there on the club, this time we have a special cycle (Cycle 14 omg, we're getting old). We got to 600 members, and to celebrate that we're hosting a team cycle, meaning contestants don't take part individually but in teams, forcing them to work together and deliver kind of coordinated entries.

Welcome to the first ever #TeamCycle !



Task 4: Branding

For this fourth task you're all becoming stylists and publicists. The outfits you have to create for this task are supposed to be part of the add of a brand/brand collection. That means that you will need to have in mind the general aesthetic and the main characteristics of the brand/brand collection.

The outfits would appear all together in the add so they also should LOOK GOOD TOGETHER. You can pick any brand you want, even if it's a brand that doesn't utually do this type of adds where more than one model appears.

This time one of the Stylish Stardoll Sisters was pretty busy and out of inspiration, so it was only Judith who created something to show to the contestants along the other judges. 

But, I have always wanted to do all the tasks we propose them to do where examples are useful, and now that I got inspired with all the new collections coming in from Fashion Weeks all over the world, I'm gonna give it a try. Here's my attempt inspired by this Versace S/S 2018 that is at the same time inspired in the Gianni Versace classic designs. 


You can find all the cycle entries and examples from ALL the judges (not only us) on the Official Cycle 14 Imgur Album <-- click here to get there


And without further ado, this is what the teams delivered for this task: 

1. SHADES - 8.35

2. The Flaming Jalapeño Gang - 8.55

3. The Hex Girls - 7.90

4. Team KAL - 9.09

5. Sarcasm. - 8.13

6. A Team with No Name - 7.40

7. MAC TEAM - 8.85


And my favorites are... (drumroll)

- This time my personal favorite is one of the teams I coach: Team KAL. I think they did a great job, and got the brand (Camilla & Marc), even if it was a not very know brand. Their presentation looked flawless in that palace and their outfits are amazing individually and look amazing all together. 

- For the second place in my favorites list, this time I give it to SHADES. I would have preferred to see something original, created by them, not THAT inspired by Balenciaga. At the same time, what they did to achieve the shapes of the catwalk is amazing, they are the resizing queens and this is a magnifique job. 

- Last but not least, on the third place I put MAC TEAM. I think their entry is super editorial and all the outfits have the image of the brand. Even if I'm not a fan of Vivienne Westwood, I appreciate what they did, a pure work of art. The background is very well choosen for the task and I think Myrthe incorporated into the team super gracefully. 


Will be back for Task 5 review! 
and... join FM-Style  😉
