Welcome All-Stars to your second task of the season. This task is about using colours, accessories, hair and clothing items; to create an unorthodox design. Layer and combine items you may not have thought of before to create a visually bold creation. Good luck.

This is dynamic and powerful. You've played with repetition and pattern in the past; this has to be one of your better designs. You've tied every aspect of your design together. I really enjoy this visually. A smart decision to approach this design from the back. Overall I feel like this holds up to what I was looking for this week. Well done.

Who would have guessed this was your challenge to excel in. I've never seen this combination of clothing items and for that you granted yourself a top position. It awed me in terms of structure and boldness. The colours are toned down beautifully so that I'm able to focus on the design and fabrics you incorporated. This is very crafty and fitting. Good job.
Jozinga
I was rather disappointed in this; I feel as though the creative process was rocky for you this week. You didn't experiment or break out of your head enough to grasp the tasks full potential. You have layered so many fabrics that you thought looked unorthodox but it just looks uninspired and awkward. I hope you find your spark soon; because this isn't a good addition to your portfolio. I do have to mention the blue is striking and I wish you played that into the design a little more.

This is gorgeous; the colours are very powerful and the ornate details entwined in the shawl are tasteful. I can tell you put a lot of work into this, it speaks to your personality and style. I'm really impressed. One thing I have noticed is you're a sucker for a different colour shoe. Not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation.
Vyia
This is probably the biggest shock of the week for me. Your designs in the past have been straightforward. This is technically the best layering i've seen this week. I haven't a clue which fabrics you used to create the top half of the design. This is bright, fun, loud and thought out; much like your personality. I really admire this. Great work.
Xenid
Though I have seen aspects of this design before in the past. I feel as though you've upcycled a dated creation to something newfangled. I have never seen the texture so prominent in the skirt before. The grouping of textures combined are very smart and enjoyable. I couldn't not grant you a top position this week. I adore the palette and I simply think this is gorgeous.

This has one of the most exciting headpieces I have seen to date. I think you've thought it out brilliantly. However the rest of the design is a bit uninspiring. I would have stuck to a minimalistic approach for the rest to play off the smooth textures you have in the headpiece. Perhaps not using the coat would have been more visually appealing. Overall a safe design. Thanks.
Pippaz
Though the colours are vibrant and not typically used. This design is structured in a way I've seen before. You didn't expand your horizon this week and it's evident in the designing process. The hat; though unorthodox is obscure and doesn't mend into the rest of the design. You've thrown it onto your design for shock value. Overall this isn't a horrible design, it just wasn't what I was looking for this week. Thanks.

Once again you gave me a winded spiel on the construction of your design. Stating that it was hard to portray on habbo. I would suggest you design something that is easier to portray. I commend you on combining certain aspects, the belt, the earrings, etc. However I feel this didn't capture the unorthodox aspect 100% this week. This isn't by any means a bad outfit, it just got lost in the mix. I would have loved to see a different skirt as well. Texturally it just doesn't work in this design. Thanks.
Snawl
The bleeding out effect is exceptional. This is one of the most thought out designs I've ever seen from you. I enjoy the contrast between the red and blue. The way in which they both draw attention rather than combining as one piece; it works wonders. The cutting effect the belt does to your leg is intriguing and I can't stop looking at it. Overall this is a very unorthodox and creative design. You should be proud.
Issus
You've designed very differently from every other designer this week. The idea to do a 2 piece suit was smart. Your palette stood out as it's very colourful and exciting. The twists of orange are a nice addition. Overall I really enjoyed this design; it may be a bit safe as the unorthodox aspect is an illusion covered with black fabrics. Thanks.
WartortIe
The textures are interesting; the linear attributes are contrasted quite nicely throughout your entire design. The shirt you used was layered appropriately with the jacket covering. I'm not particularly fond of the headpiece. I think you could have worked that into the design a little more. Perhaps a scarf to combine the black. Overall this isn't your strongest but it doesn't fall entirely short. Thanks.
Lidl-Wayne
The palette is gorgeous. I love the hues of orange you've spread through your design. The helmet is not typically seen; in this instance it is palpable. I commend you on the use of black this week. It tied the design together and you've added fabrics together that I've never seen, especially from that angle. Overall this is a concrete design. Good job.
That brings the first part of WEEK 2 to a conclusion. The top 2 this week are VYIA and ICEARBR. They will face-off and re-do the task using a new approach to see who will claim the top spot of the week. The winner will send either JOZINGA or PIPPAZ packing. Once again; you create your own path in this game and seal your fate. This isn't the end for the bottom 2; you better fight for that spot. Good luck!

"I could have easily gone with the person who's a threat to my game but i'm gonna keep my word and pick the person with the worst outfit."
Thanks for participating Lauren; you've shown us that you're confident in your style and though that didn't get you far in this competition. You should keep on doing what you do. I look forward to seeing you design in the future. You are and will always be an All-Star.
Unorthodox
This has been a great week for the 2 of you; despite the difference in experience and style. You've both managed to play on an even playing field. Ultimately 1 of you have won this task. I'm giving this win to the person who has experimented in ways so unorthodox that it's uncanny. Congratulations ICEARBR. As a reward for your efforts you were granted the privilege of sending either JOZINGA or PIPPAZ home.
