Seen on FM-Style: Who let the dogs out? | Cycle 15 - Task 6

Task 6 on Cycle 15 at FM-Style caused some excitement! The theme reminded some contestants of Rupaul's Drag race, a show we have heard about but never actually seen it. Our real inspiration for task 6 came actually from ANTM Cycle 22, but any how we love when everyone has fun with tasks so we can officially say that task 6 was a hit. Want to know more?

Cycle 15 - Task 6: Who let the dogs out? 

WHO? WHO? WHO? WHO? WHO?

  NOTE: Obviously this video was posted by Mireia, this is her kind of humour. It may seem like I'm the only one behind the post but the truth is she helps a lot preparing it and leaving everything ready for me to just come and write it. Thought she deserved a shout out, thanks sis!

I don’t know who did let them out, but for this task you’ll need them standing next to you! Create an outfit that looks coordinated with your dog. You don’t have to buy the dog, you can show us a dog picture from the Internet but please, include a photo of the dog or use a Stardoll dog, we have to see the outfit and the dog, meaning a description of the dog is not enough.

The Origin.

This task was taken from Task 7 - Cycle 12, which means, it hasn't been that long and we had back then some of the same people who is participating now in Cycle 15. Kelly (kelzsprouse_1) was there, Maurice (kickherout) was there and so was Glimmer (CoralCool91) and I must say the three of them have improved their entry a lot this cycle. We also had Rawan (bornthiswaay) participating as a judge. Her outfit for Cycle 12 and the one she delivered for this cycle kind of have the same vibe but still it's cool enough to share. Here are my favourite entries from Cycle 12. 

In order of appearance: GoldieMememe, bornthiswaay & Marta-43.

The Inspiration.

The Judges' Examples.

The Contestants' Entries.

Well, well, well so many beautiful outfits, I have to say the judges (except me, that did the outfit in a rush) all did amazing, no wonder the contestants did well with such great examples. For real, Lucy's (sunnysidessue), Amaia's (amaia_estebanez) and Fede's (FedericoMosi) would have scored a really high mark from me, not only do they look super cool but in addition those outfits are perfect for their dogs, a total match if you ask me. 

Matching with a dog might sound a bit random and not make any sense at first but it's only a matter of thinking it a bit through. The easiest way to match is obviously imitating the different colours and tones in their fur, an approach that most of the contestants took, but for standing out and doing REALLY GOOD in this task you had to take it a bit further. 

The style is really important and so is the clichés and common thoughts associated to certain races. Emotional feelings cannot get in the way here, cause if you do a Rottweiler like the one you had or have that was really sweet it's fine but the judges haven't actually met your dog so when they see it, their instant thought will be that you should look fierce and so, feelings can take you into the wrong path.

The figure and other traits of the dog, like length of the hair or size of the dog are also details that can help to make the outfit even more perfect. Basically if you think about every little detail that characterizes the dog and try to portray it with clothes you can hardly go wrong in matching terms. Obviously there's also the fact about balancing all that with making your outfit look nice and considering what's more important to know which item to sacrifice for some other. 

So yes, basically a lot to take in mind but, task 6 folks, the difficulty level is getting higher! A last minute outfit won't secure you passing anymore.

Finally if you look at the dog you want to represent and are completely clueless about what can you do, there's always the possibility of giving that dog the traits you want. Something you can achieve putting accessories on the dog too and giving it the same style you're going for in your doll. That is what Marta (Marta-43) did back in Cycle 12 and what Alma (Alma1902) did this cycle too and the result looks great!

Considering all this, for me the best entry this week goes to Yousra (miss.privacy), who got best task again. Yes, you're reading properly, again. I don't know if this is like the third time she wins in a row or if we've had any other winners, to me it's seems like she's always on top. C'mon girls let's make her sweat a little bit! ;). 

Anyway, I think, this week was totally deserved. She went for a Great Dane and she represented every little detail I was talking about before. The colours are completely fine and go perfectly with the dog even not being the exact and exclusively same tones, she went for big oversized clothes since that dog race is really big and the style is also perfect, kind of laid down but still graceful and fashionable. I was really impressed, still am.

I also liked the badass vibes from both dog and doll in Kat's (pandaribbon) entry, and the different vibes but still both so good of the ones that went with Dalmatians, Maurice (kickherout) and Rawan (bornthiswaay).

On the unhappy side of the story we have Fotini (LoveFotinh) who maybe made the mistake of getting carried away with emotions. Her entry was sweet but was lacking an important fashion factor and a stronger match with the dog. That got her eliminated and sadly we won't be seeing her super long blonde hair in the next weeks.

All the other contestants are already working on the new task and... they like to focus on colours? Good, we hear you! So we've given them more colours to focus on.
