With seven designers left, the judges turned the heat up a notch. This week’s episode was a test of skill and knowledge. Starting with the mini-challenge, designers were quizzed on seven legendary designers. Anna won, outshining the competition with her knowledge of fashion history.

Just when the designers thought they would be given a fresh start for the elimination challenge, the judges had something else up their sleeves. They announced the designers had to create an outfit inspired by a fashion designer icon that would also allow their signature styles to come through. As the winner of the mini-challenge, Anna got to pick a legendary designer for each contestant – leaving some scrambling for ideas.

When it came time for elimination, Haven and Reco found themselves in the bottom two. Even though his choice of color was right on the mark, Reco’s interpretation of Halston’s styles showed his lack of knowledge. Haven had a strong grasp of Yves Saint Laurent’s history, but judges found her brown suit lacking in inspiration. In the end, the judges sent Haven home in a teary goodbye.

The audience absolutely adored Daniella’s Christian Dior-inspired pantsuit but it was Johnny’s show-stopping Versace-esque dress that stole guest judge Peter Som’s heart. Judges praised Johnny on creating a flawless look from the polished pony to the gold stilettos and named him the challenge winner.

Even if Haven’s design didn’t make the cut, the hair however, was amazing. For salon-perfect hair that can stand up to any competition, go to:
