American At first I really struggled with this photoshoot because Mariah has a pretty low variety of shoots. However, I then remembered that over half of the judging panel isn't from America, so that definitely counts as an international style. American style is represented by Mariah here because it's cute, commercial and fresh. It's a bit of a risk because I don't know if it's what was intended, but I'm happy with it! |

Lana: Arghh.. I think the style here is quite general to be called as 'American Style". I like the blue and red. I wish there are something more dominant in this photo to represent America. I'm not sure if this will help you a lot, Mariah!!!

Amanda: Okay, I'm going to be a little nicer looking at this again. I apologize if my first critique was a bit too mean. Honestly, the thematic relation hasn't changed - what you have here is NO relation to the theme. As an American singer, you can't call "American" an "international fashion." The writing on the bottom is a bad detail and the small size doesn't do any favors. There is nothing in this to represent any country - it's merely a generic shot. I do like your shoes on further inspection, but I don't like how your hair and everything conceals your face. This is just forgettable. You have commercial energy but it's hidden by everything around you, and since there's zero relation to the theme... that's not going to help you.

Janice: Now, there was nothing in the instructions that said it couldn't be US fashion. The instructions were simply to choose a country, and submit a photo based off its fashion. Again, the was nothing to say it couldn't be your own country's fashion. It perhaps looks like a generic style to Amanda because she sees this every day.
I can see you're going for the everyday girl-next-door American look, and in that way, it does fit the theme - I can definitely see it. You look very commercial and friendly, and frankly, it's what some American fashion is all about. You do look like you have no neck, but strangely, I think it works for the overall atmosphere of the photo. Strangely, I do like it.

Morgan: I can definitely see where you were coming from, and how you were trying to work with the photos that you had. But unfortunately I think this falls short from what the other models have been posting, its missing that cultural vibe. I think you look really cute here, your legs look amazing and you look like your having fun which is always something I like to see. I cant see much of your face due to your hair and it looks like your shrinking your head into your body. There is nothing distinct that really screams out America to me, but you have the cute girl next door look going on.

Zooey: I have to agree with Amanda. You can't take an American singer and say that her "International Style" is American. So, I'm really disappointed with theme execution this week. To touch on what Janice said, maybe this picture seems generic to me since I'm American, so I guess that means I see this every day. Although, if I saw ugly green shorts like that, I think I'd remember. I'm sorry, but this photo doesn't really stand out as being strong or memorable for me.
