All the “evil” looks

Kenya – Top
Her model could host a sexy, evil circus party and I would attend day and night. It’s the best look on the runway, in my opinion.
Inspired by seaweed, Kenya loves her look and so does Heidi, who exclaims that “Kenya is back.” China agrees that it’s tailored perfectly and looks awesome. Additionally, her model is like a head and a half taller than Kenya and I’m so in love with them. They could do a buddy-cop show. Dove says “edible.”

She makes some sort of black, sparkly thing with feathers on the shoulders. It doesn’t bother me at all, but it’s also not something I’d wear. Although, from the back, the model’s hairstyle really compliments the entire outfit.

Her fabric is “eggplant” and dark. It’s very edgy, and yes, I like it.

Samantha – Bottom
It’s interesting, fabric-wise. However, I don’t think the fit is right.
Zac thinks the bottom and top don’t match, then says her fabric choice is ugly. We know that this critique stings a little extra because it feels pretty personal for her. No one says anything positive, really.

Michael – Top
Michael’s design for Liris includes a headpiece and a gold-laced kimono. She walks with so much ferocity and strength, I love it just for that.
“Queen,” Heidi compliments. Michael created something stunning that absolutely compliments Liris’ body. China adds her note that the “FABRIC SLAYS” (in all caps). Plus, everyone agrees that the feathers really added something special without overwhelming the look.
