Seen on FM-Style: The Feminist Club

Well hello there once again!
It's your OG sister (cause I was born first basically): Mireia. Right now we have a weekend off FM-Style as we're in the final, which consists in a two weeks deadline. So, as we're waiting for the fortunate and talented finalists to complete their entries, I'm gonna continue doing the recaps.

For task 7 we wanted the feminist vibe to be present, and we kinda did en educational task, for contestants to be creative and do research on feminism. As Judith mentioned on last review, at this point of the team cycle there was no score board, instead, the one who got the less amount of points from judges leave the competition at the end of the week. Continue reading to find out the task, what they did and who got out!


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 7: The Feminist Club
3 tasks left girls. Things are getting more and more exciting. Forget about the street style rule! From now on, think EDITORIAL. The three tasks left will need of your creative skills and abilities to think beyond the outfit. But let’s not get ahead. Task 7 first.

For this task we are going to give you several photoshoot titles, all of them related with feminism. You must create three outfits for that title.

The way you decide to portray it, coordination or not, it’s completely up to you but as you already know the final picture must look good. If it’s needed you can write a group description explaining the concept or reasons behind your decisions in the task, so the judges can see exactly what you’re seeing.

That said, here are your titles. Pick one and state it in the task’s topic, each team must do a different one so first come, first serve.

TITLES:
- Girls just want to have fun
- Pink Ghetto
- Superwomen
- Goddess 2.0
- Breaking the glass ceiling

Inspiration Album: N/A

As we did not have tittles for judges, we did not post any judges' examples on this task. However, as Judith and myself are special, the Stylish Stardoll Sisters after all, we've done our own version. After the judging was done and everything. We decided to portray Pink Guetto, playing with the literal tittle and so adding guetto vibes to the outfits and the background, adding pink in all the outfits, but still keep them feminine and powerful.

And this is what the teams represented, together with the score they got for this task:

1. Team KAL "Pink Guetto" - 8.25

2. SHADES "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" - 9.15

3. MAC Team "Superwomen" - 6.55

4.  The Flaming Jalapeño Gang "Goddess 2.0" - 8.94

5. Sarcasm. - 8.01

For this task, I was somehow expecting more. Not better outfits, cause those entries are filled with them, but more meaning to the task, more feminism concepts involved in everyone's descriptions. They did it, I'm not complaining, but I was hoping for MORE. Here goes my favorites:

- First place has to go to SHADES. Their concept was not very original and different and deep, but the outfits and coordination they showed in the entry was amazing. Beata, Federico and Patricia got the 80s vibe they were going for, and I love the use of colours, very different from what we're used to see.

- The second place in my favorites goes to The Flaming Jalapeño Gang. They did their research as well but focusing on different goddesses from different cultures and they put those amazing gowns into the middle of the city which gives an amazing 2.0 feeling. Definitely, Whitney, Lucia and Kelly are true style goddesses.

- And third place is for having in mind that thing I mentioned before, the deep concept. I loved how my own team Team KAL constructed their outfits from items that represented their ideals.  Ana and Kat did great. This is what I'm talking about taken out from their task description --> [...] The chains, belts and other restricting items were to represent the restrictive nature of pink ghetto, noticing that yet women still do not have full control of their occupations and how they are to be interpreted. [...] The colour silver as a motif to being  “second” and "inferior" in the working and societal class due to pink ghetto jobs and women being pigeonholed into the same “nurturing” and “fragile-minded” stereotype. This also ties in with the professional styled clothing as a signal for being ready for business, being ready to take on business and not having to throw away femininity, which is emphasized through the use of traditionally feminine items such as the colour pink, handbags and heels.


As the judging was not ready for Sunday, we decided to put out there Task 8 anyway, without feedback and scores. Like that, there was no possible elimination, so we announced what they all feared: double elimination for task 8. The results would be combined from Task 7 and Task 8, and the two groups with less points on these two tasks would be out.

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).

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!
