Seen on FM-Style: Nature of an icon

The day has finally come! I'm about to do my very first recap on the Team Cycle. And what a way to start, Task 6, when the elimination round started!

Beginning on task 6 the cycle started working like a regular cycle (except for the fact that they're participating in teams obviously) and contestants have to give their best every week cause if they let something slip, just one tiny mistake, they might end up being eliminated. No one is safe. 

It was also on task 6 when Mireia renovated our Inspiration Album, turning it into a Tumblr page, much more visual and a lot cooler to look at.

And what was the occasion? You might ask. What was task 6 about? What got one of the teams eliminated for the first time and which was this team? Well, you're about to see. 

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 6: Nature of an icon

Trends come and go but in the fashion world there are some items that will always be a CLASSIC and a MUST in our wardrobes, like for example the three we're proposing for this task: LITTLE BLACK DRESS, WHITE BUTTON DOWN SHIRT & BLUE DENIM JEANS. 

Style the three iconic fashion pieces with an outfit, one iconic item per each member of the team. Also, there must be cohesion between the three outfits, you already know what that means by now, the final picture has to look good and make sense, not random.

Coaches and judges actually had to discuss wether or not to give examples for this task. We didn't want to limit the possibilities for the contestants. In the end we decided to make just a collaborative example featuring Lucy (SunnySidesSue) and yours truly, The Stylish Stardoll Sisters.

And this is what our teams presented and the mark they got for it:

1. Team KAL - 8.38

2. SHADES - 8.40

3. MAC TEAM - 7.44

4. The Flaming Jalapeño Gang - 8.88

5. The Hex Girls - 6.50

6. Sarcasm. - 7.81

And my favourites, the three teams that did better to style the nature of an icon for me were:

- My first place is reserved for Team KAL!! I'm amazed with Ana, Kat and Leigh (even if technically Leigh was missing on this task). They started the cycle being one of the teams with lower marks and something clicked on them and they haven't stopped improving! This task is proof! I love how they managed to make such cute and simple outfits but at the same time original and different from what you're used to see around stardoll. And their outfits together with the parisian background... isn't that the cutest thing ever? 

- My second place is occupied by The Flaming Jalapeño Gang. Absolutely love what Kelly, Whitney and Lucía did here. Amazing outfits, original, colourful and featuring the iconic basic items we gave and turning them into something so BOLD. Love the final picture and love almost every single detail. 

- Finally, third place goes to Sarcasm.! There are some issues I don't like, it's not a perfect entry, but the outfits are definitely FM-Style material! Aniyah, Samanta and Jane are looking on point under the task requirements and I would definitely like to steal some of those styling ideas so they deserved the bronze medal ;). 

That only leaves us with one thing to comment. Who was the eliminated team? 

You may have guessed it with seeing the marks, unfortunately we had to say goodbye to The Hex Girls. I loved their name and how they always had it in mind for when creating their entries. Sadly they seemed to forgot it was an elimination task and got a little bit too relaxed. Their outfits for task 6, though still nice, were a little bit common and way under the judges expectations for what these three girls can do, and so Task 6 became the last task for Camilla, Maurice and Ashley. 

See you soon in Task 7 review!
