Today SeenON! chatted with the fabulous and fashionable Erika Stanley of SNOB Style to discuss episode 5 of The Fashion Show. Not only did we find out what this stylist would have done differently with the contestant’s designs, but we also found out what high school stereotype she fell into. Read more to find out!

SO!: Have you seen any trends lately that fit a certain stereotype?

ES: I think that trends are inspired by cultures and right now it seems that everything is inspired by the Native-American culture. It’s the exaggerated boho look. Everything that I see has a feather on it. I call the look BFF - beads, feathers and fringe.

SO!: We have to ask - what was your high school style?

ES: I was very fashionable and outgoing in high school. I was the class clown. I never went to class and was always goofing off. I was also a dancer and would always make my costumes for my dances. I definitely dressed the part.

SO!: Is there anything that you would have done differently to any of the looks created in the last episode?

ES: I think a lot of the looks were off the mark. I would have taken the stereotypes and exagerrated them with something on trend. Such as a bowtie for the preppy look, or  I would have put the nerd look in a high-waisted pant. I think the designers were too serious with this challenge.

SO!: Do you agree with Merlin winning?

ES: No! That was the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life. I really liked Reco’s, and I don’t want to like Reco’s work. I think that the dress was so cute and smart. It is a piece that can be offered in so many colors and worn in so many ways.

SO!: Do you agree with Angel losing?

ES: I think Charlotte Ronson brought up a good point that there was just too much black in the middle of Angel’s outfit. I think that Angel had no excuse for not knowing what a B-Girl dresses like, especially being in New York. I think a lot of people should have been asked to leave, but I agree with the judge’s decision.
