Welcome back to another week of #DNTM4. This week Dimitra asked the models to deliver an effortless yet impactful fashion campaign... in a car! For some the engine stalled... As always opinions are my own. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👢 The Biggest Flops (Scores 7 - 10) 👢 Antog - Flop Rating 7 I really wish you would stop matching the colour of your wardrobe and props directly to your hair, because it is starting to become an incredibly predictable, regular habit. At this point in the competition, it's leaning toward boring. The body positioning feels awkward and unrefined, and the styling itself is quite full instead of reading as high fashion. This entire concept desperately needed more refinement, because right now, the Eiffel Tower and the background are completely overshining the awkward model sitting in the car. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚖️ The Medium Flops (Scores 3 - 6.9) ⚖️ Marilise - Flop Rating 3.5 This is a beautiful, clean and simple photograph, and you definitely hit the core of the brief when it comes to delivering effortless style. I'm not entirely convinced that the wardrobe screams luxury fashion, but I do love the headpiece. I enjoy your facial expression here as well, it's refreshing change of pace from the simple face we see regularly. That said, you absolutely could have gone bolder with your body positioning and overall photo. Week after week, you deliver consistently good photos and I am truly rooting for you, but this image just misses that 'wow' factor required to stand out from a highly competitive crowd. Fancy - Flop Rating 3 This is undeniably a very clean shot. The lighting in this composition is beautiful, and it is does a good job of highling the best features of your face - the jawline is once again completely captivating. However, the face does a look a little bit too relaxed, and I think the shot would have benefited from a more intense, arresting expression. While the styling is good, it's difficult to see clearly in this frame and I wouldn't necessarily call it high fashion. I completely understand the upscale visual you were aiming for, and by no means is this a bottom tier photo for me, but it needed an extra spark. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👑 The Safe Zone (Scores 0 - 2.9) 👑 LeQuishaQ - Flop Rating 2.5 I think you fit the spirit of this brief beautifully. You made excellent, full use of the car to build a compelling narrative. I'm a bit on the fence regarding the specific fashion choices here, but your facial expression is completely captivating and serving pure face card. The pose strikes that perfect cord/bold, yet still effortless image. My main critique is that the execution feels a little bit costumey and cinematic, like a movie still, when we really need to see is a high-fashion campaign. Marquis - Flop Rating 1.5 This image is effortlessly beautiful. Part of me wishes you had dug just a little bit deeper with your fashion, but the overall look fits with your background that it functions perfectly as a luxury campaign. The pose itself could be bolder, but once again you are serving face. I love that you opted for a completely different direction with your styling this week, it is an undeniable standout. GuiltyAsSin - Flop Rating 1 You took a massive risk this week, and I truly appreciate that artistic drive. Now, to be honest, I'm not a fan of how bare and exposed the feet are - it feels distracting to the image, and I think simply wearing your heels would have elevated the look. However, your facial expression is deeply captivating and strong, all while maintaining that coveted, effortless vibe. I do wish we could see a bit more of the actual garment to judge its high-fashion value, but the overall shot feels incredibly editorial. I love the inclusion of the random props, the pose is bold, and you absolutely pulled off the gamble. CupidStunt - Flop Rating 0.8 This is pure camp, in the best way possible. The styling is fantastic, and your facial expression is a total chef's kiss moment. I think the styling perfectly fits the pose, it is natural and effortless. Could it be slightly more bold though.. absolutely yes. I don't really have many notes beyond that. This is a thoroughly good, incredibly strong photo, and it is exactly the type of work I would expect to see gracing a high-fashion campaign billboard. This is a standout for me and it won't be forgotten. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leaderboard Week 9 1.

We are getting late in the season now, and even though I know the scores probably seem imbalanced, anyone can make the final if they just avoid being bottom 2. In order to do that, you have to pay attention to the fine details. This week overall I was not nearly as inspired as last week's shoot. We had some super high fashion looking photos last week and then this week we kinda reverted back to some pretty basic stuff overall.... With that said #DNTM4 Marilise Pose: 5 Face: 7 Styling: 8 Composition: 5 This pose is becoming your signature pose it seems, and it shouldn’t be…. This one leg up open crotch look is like the 3rd or 4th time we have seen it from you and it has been OK at times (never going to be my favorite) but its really not working here. The face is good and you are doing better with the hair. The addition of the hat is great and I love how it matches the shoes because otherwise I think it would have wanted to be a different color. The rest of the photo is also just not giving us much and the way the purse is just sitting carelessly on the driver’s seat with the strap being wonky seems a bit of an oversight which I wouldn’t expect from you. Total: 6.25 Marquis Pose: 6 Face: 8 Styling: 4 Composition: 5 Not the most exciting pose, but you fill the frame well and it makes your arms look lanky and long but in a good way. The neck and angle you chose to have your face at is also good. The styling itself is like…. Fine…. But this is now the 4th?! Time you have gone with all white? Lets get some inspiration from some other colors please please please. If you had used the royal green in some aspects of this look you could have elevated the design a lot with a little. The composition score is lower because I don’t exactly understand where you are in the photo. It looks like the car is in a pool? It could have actually worked if it was a bit more clear what was going on. Total: 5.75 LeQuishaQ Pose: 6 Face: 7 Styling: 8 Composition: 7 A good entry for you, but not your best shot of the season by any means. Having played a season I know it is hard to find inspiration every single week to deliver something that is better than the last, so I don’t fault you for that. I do like the color combinations, the red on the tan is a smart choice. I may have gone with a black heal since you went black gloves (or the reverse) but that is a minor personal preference. The story is cute even though I really hate the cigar as this has been really overused in DNTM across the seasons (especially season 2). Overall good, but not as great as you can be this time. Total: 7.0 GuiltyAsSin Pose: 7 Face: 8 Styling: 6 Composition: 6 I enjoy this photo, but a few things hold it back for me. The pose is cute, but I do think wearing the shoes would have helped. Your face is giving here, and it aids in the story telling. Now the rest of the details don’t exactly add up to the story like the old school TV and then a playboy mag? Also the car front is a bit off proportionally. Otherwise this is a good photo and you as a model stand out, just some of the fine details lower the overall photo score. Total: 6.75 CupidStunt Pose: 7 Face: 6 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 The pose is a bit commercial, but for me somehow it does work for this shot. You did hide the neck with the scarf which doesn’t help. Try bunching it up a bit more there so it doesn’t cover the neck or just have it cross that part of the body a bit lower. I do like the dress and the overall look, and the coloring of the photo is great. The money is cheesy and contributes to the commercial nature to this photo. Total: 6.5 Antog Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 6 Composition: 5 This is one of your first misses for me. The pose is alright, but does make your legs look pretty short. I like the movement of the hair and scarf. When you zoom in on the face it is pretty blah…. I know with blue hair you have a bit more limited colors for your styling to avoid clashing, but you seem to lean into just blues every week and there are some better options that could make you really stand out and actually leverage the hair. The cigarette again? I really hate it. Also, you let the image get very overprocessed. Smooth it out at the end before submitting. Total: 5.5 Fancy Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 This was almost my favorite photo of the week. I like the lighting, the face, the outfit and the pose. Nothing is like 10/10 impressive, but it all does work well. My only thing that holds the photo back is the car set up looks way off (the wheel coming diagonally and the windshield being a bit odd…) If not for those details I think this would get my top photo but now unfortunately I have to give it to Ann... I mean Quisha….. again…. Total: 6.75 Ranks Quisha 7.0 Fancy: 6.75 Guilty: 6.75 Cupid: 6.5 Marilise: 6.25 Marquis: 5.75 Antog: 5.5
