I loved the concept of this show that's the only reason I watched it. I love street wear so I was super excited that this became a thing. Imagine my surprise when they let go the last two black women on the show. Let's be honest here, Paije outfits improved throughout the show but there wasn't a thing she made that sucked. That last outfit she made where the jacket turned into a waist jacket was sick af and they had the nerve to keep a basic designer who made a regular green pair of pants and a boring black jacket he pieced together? Who by his own admission sucked at styling...You're kidding me right? Then had the nerve to throw her a bone to work with her in the future. I would have turned them down. Im sorry but they must have feared her getting more work than them and blowing up big time if she won. I was really upset by that. Even Kai felt she was his biggest competitor. He was never threatened by mediocre Justin. Sadly I turned it off I didn't care who won at that point. Bogus!!

What a gross attempt to colonize one of the few segments of fashion that hasn't been corporatized. I had higher hopes initially but, after watching them try to create and control the vernacular of the industry with contrived ideas like a cosign, I had a feeling this show was going to be a disappointment. Therefore, it wasn't a shock that two incredibly talented women of color were eliminated before the finale, clearly held to a higher standard than the men. Also, not a shock that a white kid from the Midwest with the mediocre talent of copying other peoples' designs but sewing them out of old blankets wins. I've seen his designs before, when someone else made them, and wasn't impressed with them then. Street wear is well on its way to being fast fashion with these sell-outs trying to helm the ship.

I loved the concept of a streetwear design show. Production was inconsistent but promising. The outfits could have been featured more during judging.

But what killed this show is that they purposely changed the rules of judging to keep certain people on and in the end awarded the white boy from the midwest with his JCPenney's aesthetic over more talented but less "euro-american centric" black/poc designers. They literally chose a colonizer to win on a show about street wear which I've learned was most likely the white creative director of the brand sponsoring the show.

The most egregious example of the show changing the rules was when the black and latina female designers clearly outcompeted the white dude but to keep him on the show they had a surprise competition which consisted of a powerpoint presentation lookbook.

No joke, this is how they kept the white dude on. So disappointed how poc culture once again is white-washed.

No, just no. This was a fine show to watch. But was sometimes wondering why talented designers with great designs did not win challenges.

And then came the final episode and two of the best, most amazing female designers (especially Paije) had to leave. HAD TO LEAVE??? What? Are u kidding me? Paije was the best with the best streetwear and most growth. I believe this was not a jury decision but a producers decision.

I stopped watching when they kicked Caroline off the show for making a red bandana jacket, saying it was offensive. Gang members like Crips and Bloods most definitely buy and rep "streetwear". Also, lots of people who just enjoy rap music would buy that jacket. It was by far the most sellable piece off street wear on the show- especially in L. A.. How dare they call it offensive.

Also, they personally kicked Murph off because they didn't like her large gold zippers when her outfit was one of the more wearable pieces. I think the so called "co-signers" have their heads straight up there you know whats. And I think a real gangster rapper should kick Wiz Khalifa's ass for agreeing with the host's that the red bandana was offensive. It is the epitome of street wear.
