Our fashion critic reviews 'Making the Cut's' winning looks: 'rug-dress redemption'
We speak with the winner of Amazon’s fashion competition “Making the Cut” about halo effects, career boosts and judge Naomi Campbell.The contestants’ first task in the bubble is to whip up two brand-statement looks — one runway and one accessible — capturing “an ethos,” as Gunn puts it, “that embodies and defines [every successful] brand.” The “getting-to-know-you challenge” is about as softball as it gets.
One was Lendrell Martin, a designer with more than a decade of experience under his belt. He was able to describe hisfor the cameras with aplomb as “focusing on tailoring, texture and craftsmanship"— about as succinct a point of view as one could hope for. On top of that, he answered McDowell’s brand-identity question as easily as one might answer the phone. The only hitch? The judges didn’t see it in what Martin sent across the catwalk.
This being reality TV, the magic of video editing manages to fill in the backstory of the brand — and the brand-defining looks. We see Graham sourcing a historic floral-patterned rug textile from, heading off to grab some army blankets from a surplus store and swinging by a graveyard where he plucks a name off a faded, moss-covered headstone. The result? A pair of fierce-shouldered feminine looks pairing bold patterns with military motifs.
