| Good evening designers.
Tonight marks the final decision of who will become the second winner of Le Beau Monde.
First,
*APPLAUSE* to the final two: Kar-tastic and Enigmamoshi16. Both of you are fantastic designers and deserve to be here. Congratulations for making it this far.
Let's get down to work.
Kar-tastic: The collection was very you... trendy, youthful and positive. The judges thought that the pieces were all cohesive; the lightness (both in material and color) of each piece together conveyed your overall idea, peony. The illustrations were nice, however, we thought that there could have been more details drawn into each piece so your ideas could shine through more. There were really no egregious errors in terms of design conception, but on the other hand, nothing managed to blow us away. It could be because you intended to create a collection that seemed simple and ideal, and although you achieved that, your collection left us hoping for a little more. Stand outs were looks two, five, seven, and nine. In conclusion, though we doubt you took much of a risk, the judges thought you created a consistent collection.
Enigmamoshi16: Unlike Kari, your illustration was able to play to the benefit of your collection: detailed garments from head to toe. Unlike Kari, additionally, your collection had higher highs and lower lows. A magenta gown, georgette blouse, and black-and-white '40s ensemble were the highlights of the collection. Less convincing was a spacey corset dress cum bolero. The judges had difficulty fully understanding how the collection was cohesive: the proportions were all different, there was no evidence of a unified color palette, however there were recurrent details such as buttoned turtlenecking. Just some of us were baffled by the fact that a midriffed top with black skin-tight pant would belong in the same collection as your bourgeois black and white ensemble. Ultimately, the collection wasn't as consistent as Karis, however you were more risky and hence conceived a couple thought provoking looks.
...
The winner of Le Beau Monde...
is...
Congratulations Kar-tastic, you are the second champion of Le Beau Monde!!!!!!!!
You have won a subscription to DeviantArt and guaranteed admission into Project Designer cycle seven.
Enigmamoshi16, unfortunately this means you have been eliminated  . But don't think that your collection didn't rock... your designs are awesome and you are certainly a step above the competition. Congratulations on placing second. *APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Both of you may leave the runway,
as will I.
Good night everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for an OUTSTANDING season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Designers,
by the end of tonight a final three will be decided. The three that are declared as "in" will continue under LBM's roof to DeviantArt Fashion Week. They will need to create a nine-piece collection that will be graded by LBM judges, who will then declare LBM's second winner.
But first,
tonight's challenge results.
Oipanda, please step forward.
F0xr0x, please step forward.
Enigmamoshi16 please step forward.
Bluecranberries please step forward.
If I have called your name, please leave the runway for a moment. You have not won the challenge.
*APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Congratulations, Kar-tastic. You will be traveling to DeviantArt Fashion week as a LBM contestant. Best of luck formulating the collection.
As for the other designers, you may return onto the runway.
Kar-tastic: You didn't state a theme of your collection... but it was cohesive anyway. To pin down what the judges think... we felt would be describing it to be country clubbish and Gatsbyesque. It had your chic-yet-positive looking uptown-Kari beat that the judges love. what your peers may have not fully developed is a strong yet intangible style that you, amongst other great designers in the world, possess without having to say a word.
~
As per the rest of you, well, let me first say that ALL OF YOU DID A GREAT JOB. The judges never had a more difficult judge-chat in the history of this season's competition, so you can pat yourselves on the back. The judges will be critical of you, but it doesn't mean that we're not proud of your progress. This week truly is picking out "the best" submissions, as opposed to other weeks where we simply had to choose "the worst".
Oipanda: It was very girly and positive... You were close to pulling off an overall intangible cohesiveness, yet what seems quarrelsome is the varying degree of sexy femininity versus demure femininity in the silhouettes. The near-knee sleeved dress on the right seems to jump away from its sexy sister look in the middle. And the one on the left seems just frothy and feminine. But in end... an unapologetic girliness to the collection bound everything together.
F0xr0x: The collection is cohesive.. that doesn't really even need discussion. The issue is the messiness in the pieces... take the leftmost dress perhaps. Is that slit really going all the way up the side of her thigh? And the swimsuit... lots of strips dots and colors, and paired with a pouffed tulle shawl. Indeed this was a united collection, but at such a critical time of dawn, the judges feel you didn't restrain yourself.
Enigmamoshi13: The gown... it's gorgeous. Vogue would melt all over it. The judges' queries lie within the other outfits... well the tops of them. The tops look pretty and colors are nice, but that's the only silhouette innovation you're putting into it? Everyone has seen the twist-bubble top and cross-strap top in their local easy-chic magazine. The judges are looking for the high fashion ready-to-wear and not the silhouettes that seem inexpensive. we're looking for the fashion you expressed in those pretty palazzo pants... and that gorgeous gown.
Bluecranberries: Unlike a lot of your peers, you did state the theme of the collection. The problem we found in yours is that each look didn't exactly have a binding essence. They look like clothing for different woman, not for a single woman that just shares the taste your circus inspired collection conveys. And whilst the mistakes, your talent does shine through (that pretty, sexy forties-esque swimsuit). But the gown... the gray-applied-to-nude color you chose and the fact that her belly-button is sticking out... for us it wasn't an Emmy winner.
The next one I will call to move onto fashion week...
Oipanda! *APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Congratulations and good luck in the finals!
And the final one to move onto the finals...

Good evening, designers.
So we're down to the final seven... congratulations in making it this far.
Your challenge was to sketch a draft that's of your own aesthetic, and then remake a draft given to you as so it matches that aesthetic.
By the end of tonight, five will remain. Let's begin.
If I call your name, please step forward.
F0xr0x.
Enigmamoshi16.
You have made it. Congratulations, you will be amongst the final five! *APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
F0xr0x: You remade the outfit and added a cooler flare... the vest is nice and spices up the more flurry, feminine top. And although this still isn't anything new that we have seen from you, you continue to impress. But only so much.
Enigmamoshi16: The bolero-like top was really cool, just the judges didn't entirely dig the look with the hair style and gown. Seemed a little too anime-Japanese and not necessarily uberwearable...
This leaves five on the runway.
Aniron-mornie: The judges saw that the garment composed of nicely stylized basic silhouettes... a tube is a tube. Unfortunately we've seen this from you before, the really short bolero paired with the tube (think challenge one) and we must confess our boredom to these constant permutations... The accessories were nice though.
Chudamerr: This looks... exactly... like the previous sketch Bluecranberries made. All the shapes are the same... just you added a hair accessory and changed the under-top to a lace decoration. There was no silhouette change... And how is this you, per se?
Kar-tastic: Frilly, minimalist, beautiful. You're a strong contestant and you never fail to impress the judges. Great accessorization, too.
Oipanda: It's so you! The colors, the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously, yet remains effortlessly fashionable and chic. Excellent job.
Bluecranberries: It's not really anything new that we haven't seen from you... the corset accessorization over a simple shape... sound familiar? The overall look isn't bad... just we're nearing the end of the line in this competition.
And with that...
Congratulations,
Oipanda. *APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* You have won the challenge. Unfortunately, however, I can no longer afford immunity because it's so far into the competition. You and Kari may leave the runway... good luck in the final five.
And the final one to move onto the next phase of competition...

Good evening, designers.
I'll just say it now... it was a hard week for judgment. Everybody did at least a *good* job, while most did a great job. Deep-and-meaningless couldn't submit so she dropped out. And only one will leave tonight. Great job guys, and good luck.
If I call your name, please step forward.
Aniron-mornie.
F0xr0x.
... you are in. Congratulations, you will be amongst the final seven designers.
Aniron-mornie: A smart, sophisticated solution to the challenge. The outfit belongs to the fedora, and the red-black-and-white palette, although common, is interesting.
F0xr0x: Excellent jacket silhouette, even if not entirely new. The beret looks as though it accessorizes the outfit well.
You may leave the runway.
This leaves:
Chudamerr.
Kar-tastic.
Enigmamoshi16.
Oipanda.
Blueeyescrynomore.
Bluecranberries.
You comprise the best and worst designs on the runway.
Chudamerr: Great silhouette! The entire design shouts cute and goes well with your cloche. Nitpicking, the sleeves on the white blouse seemed studenty, but the jacket was very resound.
Kar-tastic: This one took a while to grow on all the judges. If the train of thought in this inspiration could've been considered obsucred, our doubts were mitigated by the great accessorization and fresh look and silhouette.
Enigmamoshi16: This outfit eluded the judges. How was your outfit, or your hat, reminiscent of a Russian fur hat? Maybe the bolero was nice and the idea thoughtful, but was it with purpose? A mod body suit to describe a Russian fur hat?
Oipanda: Lean yet frothy and beautiful. It was a wonderful take on a "shower-cap" and the color inspiration impressed the judges.
Blueeyescrynomore: This is very minimally reminiscent of a turban. Yes, when you get down to it, its "wrapped" like a turban and has sunset colors, but if you take the ethnic model away and put the dress on a white blonde Russian, it would be a rather simple dress that *at best* would whisper Arabic inspired.
Bluecranberries: This outfit was just not flattering or enticing... and the eye blinds, although the fabric was transparent, seemed like a tired, cliche idea...
And with that,
DETERMINATION
Chudamerr.
You're in. You did well this week. You may leave the runway. :).
Kar-tastic,
Congratulations. You have won the challenge. *APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* You're free from elimination next challenge. You may leave the runway.
Oipanda, you came close. You may leave the runway.
This leaves three...
Bluecranberries, you're immune this week... lucky you because you would've been out hadn't you won last week's challenge. :(.
The one who can stay in...

Good evening designers.
Your challenge was to merge sophisticated with sporty in a trendy, modern look.
Let's get right to the results.
If I call your name, please step forward.
Jadexx.
Deep-and-meaningless.
Luai-lashire.
Italygermanboy.
Senakiss.
You have been voted in the bottom for this week. Just one of you will be spared.
This means:
Aniron-mornie.
Oipanda.
Chudamerr.
Bluecranberries.
Blueeyescrynomore.
Enigmamoshi16.
Kar-tastic.
F0xr0x.
Have made it onto the next challenge.
And of them,
Blueeyescrynomore.
Oipanda.
Bluecranberries.
Congratulations, you are in the top three. *Applause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
CRITIQUE
Blueeyescrynomore: Great silhouettes. You opted for a straight-forward, simple solution: If the jacket and skirt nodded towards the more effeminate, it was taken sporty with the pants and flats.
Oipanda: Great colors, accessorization and silhouettes. The furry things on the shoulders were distracting... but sporty chic was your look.
Bluecranberries: Like Blueeyes, you went for the straighter solution: Casual but interesting jacket-top over a chic, feminine dress that has beautiful gathering on the side.
~~~
Aniron-mornie: It's neat and chic with the colors. The belled hem at the bottom takes away... NOTICE FOR EVERYONE: Stop with the cheesy belling hems! IRL it wouldn't look like that.
Chudamerr: If "sporty chic" may have seemed blurred, accessorization and shape made this look stand out.
Enigmamoshi16: You were the highest scored "in." The judges weren't flipping about because of hair and accessorization, but the outfit was great.
Kar-tastic: This look was really cool and you nailed the sporty chic, however IRL a bright red silk duchesse suit wouldn't suit everyone.
F0xr0x: The glasses are a bit strange... The silhouettes are cool though. Sporty chic it is.
~~~
Jadexx: It wasn't your misunderstanding of the challenge that disarmed the judges. Moreso eluding was the look being a simple printed tubedress.
Deep-and-meaningless: The shapes were nice, but accessorization, stylization, and colors were pretty depressing...
Luai-lashire: The colors and shapes were kinda spacey and costumey... it looked more like a uniform than a sporty chic look.
Italygermanboy: The colors... everything was either black or bright green... what could've been a solid submission was made into a costumeish uniform.
Senakiss: An accessorized tubedress... and the "chic sportif" element was clouded...
DETERMINATION.
Congratulations,
Bluecranberries. *APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Your look was totally chic sportif. Blueeyes, you placed a very close second.
The three top placers are in, with Bluecranberries immune from elimination for the next challenge.
And now...
The five bottom...
