Ra'mon + Epperson

Our losing streak in witty titles continues.



Model: Vanessa Fitzgerald

We were a little harsh in our initial assessment of this look. We'll give you a moment to get over your shock.

It originally came off as pretty generic, but he did one interesting thing.

He totally made that newspaper look like two fairly sophisticated prints.

Unfortunately, he didn't really do anything eye-catching with them. It's a pretty basic silhouette with pretty basic proportions.

Still, it was a decent, if understated, entry.

Model: Matar Cohen

Epperson's fauxmono was anything but understated.

In fact, we kind of love the whole drama of it.

It comes pretty close to costumey, but it's got such great sweeping proportions to it.

A mark against him in the technical area, though. The dress is entirely made of fabric with paper sewn to it. It's an interesting effect because of the way he used it, but it's not offering what the judges tend to reward in these kinds of challenges: innovative technique.
