CHALLENGE 4: LITERATE & FASHIONABLE

Can you guess who is who?







A contemporary character got Allison the title of most fashionable. (It's Coraline guys, see the buttons and the Other Mother's hands on Allison's stenciled tees.)


She made her own outfit too, and I believe Matty called her an over achiever.


Gretchen went high fashion with a flower inspired design from Thumbilina. The collar is beautiful and removable (detachable always makes Aimee happy).






This one's pretty clear. Under that tell tale cape is Meghan's version of a dark Red Riding Hood. Looks like she got the better of the wolf and made a skirt out of him.



It was Ingrid's moment of truth on Friday. Her Secret Garden inspired outfit is made from thrift finds and screams Missoula summer, but the judges wanted to see something a little more fashion forward and we had to say good bye.

But don't worry she'll be back for the final show so we can see her designs one more time.

CHALLENGE 3: WHAT WOULD OBAMA DO?



For this challenge the designers were asked to design something for our fashionable first lady. The models strutted the stairway at the Missoula Art Museum:



Number one and two. Gretchen took home the prize with her presidential highwaisted skirt with a flair of embellishment. And Ingrid got a close number 2 for a beautifully draped one piece dress. All sleeveless of course.



Runners up: Allison and Meghan with bright colors and fashion forward looks for the first lady.
