The answers in order from top to bottom: Harlem, Chinatown, Lower East Side, Upper East Side… did you get them right?
My fave New York neighborhoods? Nolita, the West Village and the Upper East Side… what are yours?
The pairings here are interesting. Predominantly the designs you featured on the left sucked, where as the ones you featured on the right hit the nail on the head. Seth Aaron and Emilio where the only pair that put out two good designs, which is why they should, and did, win.
Maya and Anthony’s details on the black dress were fantastic, and Mila’s Black and White and red getup was also a lot of fun. My favorite design was Amy and Jonathan Chrysler building in brown. That’s a great look. I also wanted to thank the model for the free gun show. Now I have no clue what the yellow bag and leggings thing was supposed to be. Loser!
Seth Aron and Emilio were definitely the best… so wearable!
