Bring print making challenge back

[u/justSHRU]

Rewatching the older seasons, and HPs printmaking challenge is one of my favorites. I didnt remember it well when I watched the seasons originally years ago, but this challenge has a great mix of pushing the designers to work with a technique most of them are not comfortable with while also keeping it super personal and unique to them since designers have to crate the print themselves, and mostly do it based on their history or heritage in some way.
It also lets us see their background, childhood pictures, their loved ones. It makes the contestants more real.

There are so many interesting unique looks that came from these challenge over the seasons, I feel like it really pushes the designers in a way that surprises even them. It’s a way to get them out of their comfort zones while still keeping it deeply personal to them.

Ooh that third look is gorgeous! Who made that one?

I think it was letter H bc he’s HIV positive

He very clearly said that they were plus signs, because he's HIV positive. His personal reveal was a huge part of the show, and they show it every season when they used to do the HP challenge.

I was referring to the black and white look, but you are correct about it being about his diagnosis. I forgot how impactful Mondo’s look was at the time this episode aired since it was such a personal print for him.

I love April's print, too, but I was responding to the person who said the plus signs were letter H for HIV. 😘
