I'll start with saying that I really appreciated delving into Cher's deep cuts to inspire your looks. That being said, there are a few of these that don't fit, thematically. The couture orange/red gown in evening wear is gorgeous, but it sticks out in styles that otherwise look like something current Cher would wear. I guess that's what disappoints me most - these are all outfits that Cher would wear today. Where is her Met Gala nude bodysuit? The fact that she literally invented midriff baring dresses? BUT, don't think you did poorly. Rather, it wasn't fair because you guys were given a fashion icon while the other teams got basics, so you were held to higher expectations. Still did a fantastic job overall, and I live for the black and white wedding dress.

Even though I can't say I know Cher's fashion all that well, I loved how I could imagine Cher wearing these, yet at the same time they were very practical (mostly). Even though all of the collection were great, the Wedding collection felt to be the weak spot here, if there was one. As a whole, you guys really killed this challenge.  |

Wow what a huge step up from last round. You guys really took the notes about presentation and how important it is and that’s great. All the looks you guys chose were really classy, sophisticated and I think that is all Cher. You guys really captured her perfectly. You guys really hit the nail on the coffin with this challenge.

If this collection was sold at a store, it would be Forever 21 or Buckle. Which, unfortunately for Hugamari, fits your artist's aesthetic perfectly. The presentation is well done, of course, and I like the attention to detail you guys always have. My big complaints here are that the looks aren't necessarily fashionable, but, again, it fits your celeb so I think you met the assignment.

Okay - I want to tell you all that I really appreciated the creativity in the magazine and the online store. It made me think more of your entry. As for the pieces themselves, I'm not too sure. The pink evening dress is a GREAT look and I could see both Kesha and regular people wearing it, however, a lot of these looks are more... just for Kesha. If you make a fashion line inspired by an artist, you don't want the only person wearing it to be the artist. They already have it! You didn't do bad, per se, but you didn't find the fine line between your inspiration and applying it practically.

You guys always have a great marketing perspective with your entries. The online store was genius and totally a good call. The prices and everything, it was a really nice touch for your entry and gave it that edge that it needed to really be great. The looks weren’t all that perfect, but they weren’t all that horrible.

Reading is truly fundamental. You guys would've been on the chopping block regardless of the looks you submitted since you missed 2 outfits per category. But the looks themselves are basic, too. That wedding dress is despicable, and I refuse to believe a woman would choose it of her own free will in this enlightened time we live in.

However, even if you did meet the criteria in that regard, I do not see Lana in these at all. It felt a bit...randomly thrown together. It's disappointing, really, after you did so well last time. I'm going to figure you all had real life issues going on which is how things came to be like this, and if that's the case, I do feel for you, but I can't go any more lightly on you all for it.

You guys kind of flubbed on one big asset, and that’s that there were supposed to be at least 2 looks for each artist. Lana is not very happy about that. That wasn’t really the worst about about your entry. None of the looks really worked and they were all pretty basic. They didn’t scream Lana. The organization was kind of all over the place.
