Introducing Tres Chic 2013!
Senior style correspondent Rana El-Amin, here. The world of fashion has been abuzz with news about Tres Chic, the most dramatic and exciting fashion competition of the year. Six contestants go in, but only one of these budding fashion icons will impress the judges and earn the coveted prize: Their very own Subeautique line!
This diverse group is sure to bring us thrills as they battle to be the best. Let's meet the competitors!
Sofi Marez: This fierce half-islander lady is a world traveler, and she brings a hint of her homeland to the fashion world with subtle tribal touches. While the islands may be in her blood, fashion is in her heart, and that passion can be seen in every design, even if she is somewhat secretive and reclusive herself.
Luciana Adessi: An artist at heart and newcomer to the fashion scene, Luciana's mix of the stereotypically feminine and the unconventional is sure to dazzle. Never afraid to take inspiration and run with it, Luciana has books full of designs just waiting to be seen.
Oscar Cannon: A Centropolite through and through, Oscar puts the haute in haute couture. His attention to detail is second to none. His work boasts strong lines and precise designs, and his work pioneering the comeback of tights and leggings has already been felt in the fashion world.
Camilo: Representing the Lower East Side of Centropolis, the urban king of fashion plans to bring the style of the streets to the mainstream. A mix of the industrial and the whimsical brings a special touch to whatever The King touches.
Gwenyth Verdi: From stunning Veta Lake, this reclusive flower-child is sure to be a stunner of her own with her nature-inspired offerings. Her love of fairy tales and magic is put into her work, resulting in wonderfully whimsical designs that bounce and flow with lace and frills.
Primrose Potter: Primrose, or "Rosie", calls a reclaimed Riverside barn her home. She shares it with her with her 8 cats: Marjorie, Maggie, Molly, Mae, Midge, Madge, Mary and Milly. Quirky, with a flair for the over dramatic, she has an obsession with knitwear and vintage trinkets and a penchant for singing off-key in inappropriate situations.
Who is trendy and who is dated? Only time (and your votes ) will tell!

Oh wow Subeta! I love the diversity, not only in personality and styles but the character backgrounds and designs! And I just adore Rana and Sofi even more as a mixed-race person with Muslim family. Keep up the great work, staff!
"You have voted for Camilo for Round 1!" His outfit on the "Meet the Contestants page was meh, but the image of his design is awesome. I love it!
So loving this idea! I must have the first round primrose potter did ;A; I sure hope it makes it, I love them lips. And I would have so many uses for the other items too. Uggh Needddd. <3

Someone already said it for me... wanted to vote for one of the dudes because we need more male SubQ items (or rather, some more male items in general) sooo it's Oscar Cannon for round one.:)
It was hard to choose, but I love the concept of the bubblegum one. Very cool idea, and the execution is just as nice! I vote for Luciana because I'm really interested to see what other neat ideas she has. :3
This sure is different. I voted for Camilo. I ... for some reason the concept is pretty funky and I liiike it!
Gosh for me it was hard to choose between Sofi and Gwenthy! In the end, I went with Sofi :3 that outfit be rockin'!
GOD it's so hard to choose! I love Sofi's. But I like Primrose's and Gwen's too!!!
But since those designs might not be an actual line, I picked Gwen! I love lolita!

Well, I voted for the Bubblegum outfit. I love the skirt and hair accessories and, well, PINK! ^_^
Kind of looks like Camilo has the most votes according to these posts anyway. I would love to work with everything here so, can't wait for the outcome!

Please keep in mind that these design sketches are for the competition and to showcase the designers' personal styles and may not relate at all to the what the winner chooses to do for their SubQ set!
Oh my god you guys have NO idea how hard I'm going to cry if I can't get the Camilo stuff for my HA.
I NEED, need need need need NEED the Camilo items. ; _ ;
I NEED, need need need need NEED the Camilo items. ; _ ;
You have voted for Luciana Adessi for Round 1!
I think her look was the whole package! It screams bubblegum from H to T! Well done! :) BTW the popped gum skirt is epic!

I like Sofi and Oscar. They have good personal style too. Not that means anything. (I always found that funny with Project Runway -- sometimes, the most terrible personal dressers made awesome clothes for other people.)

I am pleased to see that others agree with me on how superior dark chocolate and peppermint are to the sickly sweetness of these other designs. You are to be praised for your good taste!
As for my hair, ha! You cannot think I would reveal the secrets of my beauty to just anyone! But I will be generous and offer you a tip out of the goodness of my heart; conditioner. Hair is all about proper conditioning to make it truly shine!

I was hoping for a book drive (wants the GoT items so bad...has books enough for all of the items) but clothes! And I do like Sofie's idea...chocolate and mint is my Achilles heel.
