Inspired by SoggyKittenART's Lookbook, I present to you Willow's very own! I will include her scrapped looks as well and other variations I did. She has very much grown on me, and I loved styling her every other week. If any of the current contestants take her in as their model, I'd love to see her get posted here too, or in your very own thread, of course! It's a pleasure to see more of her.

AUDITION LOOK She was my first choice, and I'm very lucky to be able to work with her for this competition! Her name and looks immediately inspired me to create a nature look.

Challenge #1: You’re A GemDesigners, welcome to your first challenge for Cycle 7!
To help us get to know you better, you’re going to dress your model up as
your birthstone. You can make them the embodiment of the birthstone, you
can just dress them as the colors, draw inspiration from the season, etc. But
the judges shouldn’t be left guessing what your birthstone is. Bring your
personality out! Give us some fun facts! This is a challenge to get personal on. heart  I had shared before that while I was liking her initial designs, it looked too much like emerald instead of peridot.

Challenge #2: They See Me Rollin’Designers, you’ve survived the first challenge!
For this week you have a world of possibilities and freedom at your fingertips!
You can go for any theme, style, color, time period you want. However, you
must include a transportation item in the look. Now how you interpret
transportation is up to you, but I’ve included some guides here and here to help get you started.
For this challenge we’re going to say that the transportation you use can’t be
alive and should have at least two wheels. Have fun! This one had the most scrapped looks haha I was spiraling like crazy xd And yes, the dark filter was a gamble that I added the last minute. rofl

Challenge #3: You’ve Got A Friend In MeDesigners, we’ve seen our first elimination and now the competition should be feeling real.
This week we’re asking you to dust off your boots and give us a cowgirl look!
From the Pink Pony Club to the rodeo, there is a lot of directions to take this
challenge. Throw on some Shania Twain (or Beyonce!) and let your inspiration
take hold. This should read cowgirl though. Country. Think dirty boots and
plaid, cows and horses. Fringe. Denim. Good luck, designers! I muted her makeup in my final look because I was scared of the "flushed" comment I got last time! xp

Challenge #4: 9 To 5Designers, what did you want to be when you grew up?
It’s one of the first questions we’re asked as kids, and the answers tend to change a lot.
At different times of my life I wanted to be a marine biologist, an explorer, an
actor, and a billionaire that opens a park of dinosaurs. While the last could still
happen, I’ve given up on most of the others. This week we want you to think
about what your dream job is, or what your model’s dream job is, and dress
them up appropriately. They can have whatever job you want, but it should be
clear that they’re working, and not look like they’re wearing a costume. I did have her on a desktop at first, but it wasn't true to my dream. I had taken up Accountancy in uni before my current field rn, and I realized that I wasn't meant for a desk job at all! rofl I want something more comfortable, my hobby as my job. heart

Challenge #5: She’s An IconDesigners, welcome to the fifth challenge!
This week we want to pay homage to the women that shaped us. That helped
raise many of us and guided us through some of life’s difficulties. They’re
there for us when we need a laugh, or need a cry. Some of them were our first
crushes! I’m talking about cartoon women, of course! You may pick whatever
cartoon icon you want this week, but they must be female or female
presenting, and you need to include a picture of them with your submission.
Your model is going to become this character this week. You can’t change
their features, but go all in otherwise. Choose icons that suit your model. Good luck! At some point, I thought her sister was more fitting for Willow's base features (blue eyes), but in the end, I chose Marianne bc I did like her character more!

Challenge #6: We’re CursedDesigners, this week for the first leg of your double header we’re going a little…darker.
Each of you have been assigned to one of the ten plagues of Egypt - seen
below - and you are going to embody that plague. We should be afraid of your
models this week. Now some of these are very similar (lice and flies for
example) so find ways to make sure your plague stands out.
Dust to Lice: kaekie I tried my best trying to balance all the elements in this one, whether there were too many dusts, debris, or blood! wishflower kindly helped me with balancing it all out. heart

Challenge #7: All On RedDesigners, for the second part of this double header we’re giving you more
freedom. The category is…in the red. Like on a budget line. This time around
you will dress your models in red, but you have to list the items used and the
total budget of the entry can not exceed 50,000P. Your base features are not
included in this, neither are nose mods - especially if you've been using the
same one this entire cycle. But everything else is fair game, including arm and
leg mods. Be very mindful on every piece of the look and if it is necessary. This was more like forming a puzzle for me, since the items I could use was limited. I chose the specific pieces to form the right picture! I could not pass up honoring KATSEYE since they're my favorite group rn xp

Challenge #8: Taste The RainbowDesigners, the time has come for the infamous…the favorited…the
diabolical…UGLY ITEM CHALLENGE!
The challenge that makes designers quake in fear. That makes the judges
laugh our evil mastermind laugh. The challenge that has spectators screaming
for more. Every cycle this is one of the challenges that really pushes
designers, and those that come out on top tend to keep on that trajectory. You
can do whatever you want for the design this week, but you have to use
…. …. …. The Skittles Jacket! The initial background was more colorful but I thought the new one aligned better with the storyline I had thought of. I had a lot of fun editing the entire concept including the background on Canva, I also had soo many scrapped designs on there. rofl

Challenge #9: Under The InfluenceDesigners, did you know that your models are all identical twins this cycle?
And they’ve been hired for a very special photoshoot. You are going to design
two complimentary looks this week, one angelic and one devilish. Both
looks will use the same base features, but you are allowed to change the hair
to any of your choosing. The hair will still match in each look, but you are able
to change it from the usual base hair. The only thing that will change is the hair.
But you can do any hair you want! Longer. Shorter. Any color. Don't be afraid to
really mix it up, and choose something that not only compliments your model
but lends itself well to whatever angelic and demonic looks you design!  I was nitpicking every small detail in these designs, hence the very similar initial variations. I focused more on the contrasting details to finish them!

Challenge #10: Feeling MoodyDesigners, for this final double header that will bring us down to our final four,
you’re going to take inspiration from some of the crew.
badwolfbae, iiiFlames, and Detrimentum have each provided mood boards
below that you will draw inspiration from for this look. You’ve each been
randomly assigned to one of the boards found below. Do us proud, and bring
the vibes to the party. I was so lost in this at first, but the moment I decided to make Willow an ornament, I had too many ideas and worried too much if I overdid it or not. rofl

Challenge #11: History Repeats ItselfDesigners, we want you to go into the Project Catwalk past for this challenge!
Each of you have been assigned to a different cycle, and you are going to pick
one of the finale collections and show us what you would have done for it. Be
bold! Be creative! Show us why you should make it on to the final four and on
to showing us your own unique finale collection. All past cycles can be found
in the archives. And just to clarify, you are only making one look for this part
of the double header. Just make the single look that you would make to fit
with the finale collection of your choice. She is my most rushed work, sadly. I loved the concept I had for her, and I'll post a more polished one if I do find the time! heart

So...
Hi again! It's kaekie 4laugh
I was working on this lookbook shortly after I mentioned in Olivia's Lookbook that I will post mine soon, too. I'm very happy to share my little thoughts and other variations for my entries. It has been a very fun journey! heart
For the last challenges, I'm sad I had been eliminated but I admit I wasn't able to appropriately manage my time. I wasn't able to get on gaia for the most part during those two weeks as I had my Finals exam the first week, and my Research Presentation the second week. And right after that ended, I was mostly outside as well rushing to help with year-end obligations and holiday preparations gonk I was not at home for the deadline, too. I could have asked for an extension but I felt bad asking for it so last minute because I overestimated my time management skills haha. I was slowly working for my moodboard entry throughout those two weeks so the look was more fleshed out but the last challenge I only worked on it for the last ~2 hours and it definitely made it lackluster. My mismanagement especially took a hit with my descriptions for both since that was the part I did last minute. Sorry for that. crying
Still, I'm happy to have had this journey with all of you! I'm very excited to see how the rest of the competition goes. Everyone so far has been really amazing and I kept looking forward to your looks every challenge. I wish the rest of the contestants good luck!
Happy new years, and I wish you all the best in 2026 heart
In my language,
Dios mabalos, everyone!
heart
