My thoughts about their collection:
Amor - I was a fan of him and I was very disappointed with his collection. It was okay and was too safe. I kinda expected a lot from him. There are no new silhouettes, cuts and design. Some gowns looked too pageantry. He def has the skill but his taste level is questionable. But, I like his finale black dress and the stalactite-esque neck piece.
Nel - I don't like his collection at all. I cringed when I saw his color palette. Bright yellow and oranges scream "barrio fiesta." I find some of the dresses baduy and the model's makeup was too gimmicky and forced. However, I like his plastic accessories (though they are not his original designs.)
Cheetah - Personally, this was my fave collection. I love the drama and over-the-top designs. HOWEVER, it's a total knockoff of some of Alexander McQueen's collections specifically Joan, Horns of Plenty and The Widows of Culloden. I find his finale dress (ball gown and fur shawl) looked to heavy and bulky. It's better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.
Milka - I like the fact that she was inspired by Bananas and the way she incorporated that inspiration is her clothes. I find her collection very wearable and boring. For me, she's a dressmaker and not a designer.
