Only three contestants would remain standing in the finals, and though technically all three contestants are winners, the final round was made to select the best of the best. The judges had to give the three designers marks for each of the designs that they used, and the average would be taken. Different designs or styles would attract different people, and thus the overall feel would also change.
In addition, more designs submitted would also show that the designer had a lot of ideas and have a very creative mind. This helps to build trust between the designer and the audience. That was why it was recommended that they submit more designs instead of just one as the higher the number of designs, the more likely the marks would be higher.
The marks would not only take into account the designs itself, but also the overall look of the model. Hence, it was not only a battle of how well the designers could design but also how good the fas.h.i.+on sense of the designers was. It was also a battle of the entire fas.h.i.+on team, designer, and stylists. These marks from the judges would make up forty percent of the final score.
The judges then have to vote for their favorite three designs, and additional marks would be given. Every vote would add 0.5 points to the final score. The topmost voted design would add five points to the final score, then the second would earn four, and the third would earn three points. This means that a contestant could attain a score of more than a hundred should the contestant obtain full marks for all the other components because the votes add to the overall score.
Not only that, but the audience would also have to vote for their favorite designs. The total votes from the audience would make up thirty percent of the final scores.
Then, online voting from the public would make up the last thirty percent of the final scores.
Mo Xi looked at the designs, and she thought hard about what score she should give them. While she was thinking, she rubbed her thumb and index finger together.
Although Mo Xi dressed well, she wasn"t very into fas.h.i.+on and clothes. That was why she doesn"t bother to dress up most of the time. Thankfully, her natural looks and her beauty could make her look stunning in anything that she wore.
Mo Xi judged all of their work honestly, even Ning Hua"s work, and as expected, Ning Hua did not use Lu Jin Sheng"s design for the first round. Instead, he used his own designs, and those designs were still good enough for him to pa.s.s through the first few rounds of the compet.i.tion.
Wen Ting Ting and Lu Jin Sheng came onto the stage together, and she did a twirl to show the dress.
"Your design is indeed gorgeous, and it fits the model very well." Rosanne complimented despite knowing that Ning Hua had stolen Lu Jin Sheng"s work.
Rosanne had long talked with Mo Xi and decided to judge Ning Hua"s work without considering the fact that he stole them. That"s because at the end of the day, no matter whether Ning Hua made it into the finals or became the winner or not, they would reveal what Ning Hua had done.
"Thank you for your compliment." Ning Hua said with a dignified look as though he was the king of the place.
"What makes you think of adding those little red flowers near the strap of the white dress?" Lionel questioned.
"Because my model, Ting Ting, is always kind and innocent. However, she would show a tough side once in a while, just like when she does her catwalk. Hence, I felt that this design depicts her personality very well."
"Mm. Interesting."
Lionel found it interesting in all honesty because white and red are both very bright colors, and the red that Ning Hua chose was very bold. Most people would have thought that it wouldn"t go well as it looked a little like blood and seemed a little scary. However, Ning Hua made use of the entire dress very well, thus giving it an exceptional look.
"That"s a perfect starting point in designing because we should create designs that are meant for the right people to wear it. Only when the right person wears it then can we get the correct meaning and feeling of the clothes," One of the famous old designers added.
The judges keyed in the scores that they had given for Ning Hua into the online system, and the next designer came up onto the stage.
The next person to go up on stage was a female designer, Jiang Xue Zi.
Jiang Xue Zi was another talented artist, and she had a fascinating character. She was a pure girl that was unrestrained. She speaks whatever that she was thinking without a second thought. Hence, she was the kind of girl that could offend others easily. Moreover, given that she was a pure person, she was the kind that would easily be schemed by others.
"I am amazed that you chose to design male clothes. Most people chose to design clothes for females because it would be easier, and there are a lot of areas that they can tap into, unlike male clothing."
"Why did you choose to design clothes for males instead of females?" Mo Xi asked curiously.
"Exactly because everyone would choose to design clothes for females, I chose to design clothes for males. If everyone designs clothes for females and no one designs clothes for males, then what would men wear?"
Mo Xi let out a soft chuckle when she heard her reply, "That"s very thoughtful of you. You are still single, right?"
"Mm. How do you know?"
"I can see it because your designs tell me that you don"t have much interaction with men before. Good luck, and continue to work hard!"
Jiang Xue Zi left the stage, and the compet.i.tion proceeded without any mishaps.
