TESSA EDWARDS

Who: Tessa is best known for her crystal USB sticks and futuristic collections. This season was no departure and featured her creepy and unnerving apocalypse-themed video.

What: Given it is 2012, Tessa opted to use the "organic and powerful force of crystals as a representation of natural creation". Wow, I almost rapped there for a second. The accessories were insanely cool and the shoes were pretty much the most mind-blowing pair of heels EVER.

How: Apparently the crystal sole was hand-crafted from naturally formed but re-man-made Swarovski crystal resin. The way the lighting illuminated all the accessories gave them that Dune edge. The video opened with some sky screenshots, a weird revolving insect, then walls of water, before a model got all racy with the bracelets. Somehow it all reminded me of the CD artwork for The Prodigy's Music For The Jilted Generation.

Vibe: The future and the apocalypse are in, oxy-moronically.
