So we're only two episodes in on the 'High Fashion' cycle 15 of America's Next Top Model and we're already loving it! On this week's episode, reality television's best judge ever, Andre Leon Talley took his seat next to Tyra Banks wearing an extra fabulous cloak of black sequins. Tyra was also quite put together in a one-sleeve Helmut Lang getup. And everyone on the judging panel seemed a bit more authoritative and intellectual thanks to the presence of the guest judge Diane von Furstenberg. The challenge this week was for the girls to identify something they're made fun of for, pick a power word associated with that insecurity to have painted on their bodies, and then pose wearing swimsuits and their power word.
DVF was the perfect judge for this challenge, because female empowerment is such an important part of her work as a designer. One girl says, crying of course, that her word was "free." DVF responds with so much sympathy, "Free is the most beautiful word you can choose because nothing is more important than freedom. And if you look for the freedom, then you will fly." And of the girl who gets kicked off for being freakishly thin, "Beauty is health, and if you're not healthy, you lose your beauty."
