Seen on FM-Style: All Around The World

Before we get into the semi-final review of FM-Style's Team Cycle, we're going to use this post to make a little announcement:

FM-Style is making 5 years! Wohooo!!

We want to celebrate properly so keep your eyes on the club cause something's definitely coming and we're already preparing it so get over there if you haven't done it yet!

Now let's get back to reviewing this brand new amazing cycle we created back this summer. We were in the semi-finals and the game was strong.

Welcome to the first ever #TeamCycle !

Task 9: All Around The World (SEMI-FINAL)
Welcome semifinalists!!! Yes, we’re in the semifinals, that means this task and one more and the Team Cycle will come to an end. 😔

But before we say goodbye we want to go everywhere with you. For the semifinal you have to create different outfits inspired by different countries in the world. One country MUST NOT be repeated in the same team.

Think of tradional food, signature places/things of that country, style for what it’s known of… And represent it in an EDITORIAL OUTFIT.

No cohesion needed for the task as each team member will be representing a different country, but any common details or ideas to unify the task will be highly taken into consideration.

Inspiration Album: 

This task was kind of sentimental for us. That fashion photoshoot featured in the inspiration album belonged to the first issue of a fashion magazine we bought. We could say it was the moment in which we felt head over heels for this industry. And because of that, our expectations for our teams were high. Let's see if they reached them:

Those were the semifinalists' entries, next to the score they got:

1. SHADES - 7.95

2.  The Flaming Jalapeño Gang - 7.55

3. Sarcasm. - 8.09

Now we're not gonna pick three favorites, as they were only 3 teams left. Clearly, for the judges the winner was Sarcasm and I have to agree with the final decision. Sarcasm. was for me the best on this task. SHADES created a great entry, but was more focused in representing traditions instead of cultures as it's hole. I had a special affection for my own team, The Flaming Jalapeño Gang, and I thought back then that theirs was the best. Looking back at it right now, I still love the entry, specially how they presented it, but I think that maybe their outfits are super cool but are not as culture representative as Sarcasm. Still, amazing entry as well.

However, the judges did not agree with me in that one, and the ones who got eliminated were in fact my beloved Jalapeños. Meaning that SHADES and Sarcasm. went to the Cycle Final, which will we review as soon as possible and ideally before Cycle 15 starts. ;)
