Posted on Jul 19, 2009 in Fashion

Goodness, Kittens! We’re falling behind on our pre-judging!

That dress she’s wearing is pretty cute. One of her designs?

Birthplace: Dayton, OH
Current Home: Brooklyn, NY

Althea has always loved to draw, but it was at the young age of ten when she found her niche for fashion. She recently graduated from The University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning. Althea also received additional training at Central St. Martin in London. She’s interned at Anna Sui, Zac Posen, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Victoria’s Secret and Garden Inc. Her fashion designs are inspired by Bridgette Bardot, 30’s glamour and architecture.

Why she’ll win?
Althea believes she is an extremely talented designer, with the drive and determination that is essential for succeeding in the world of fashion. Her strengths as a designer include her creativity, taste and draping ability.


Tim Gunn: “Everyone [thinks] she’s only on the show because she’s a tall blonde beauty, but she’s extremely talented. She’s going to blow people away.”

Let’s go to the tape, shall we?



Very cute, but what about the clothes?

Well, she’s got a point of view, we’ll give her that. Most of it is not to our taste, but you can see where she’s coming from and, more importantly, that she’s got a little something that makes us curious to see more. We’re not too keen on the dresses that look like draped trashbags, but she’s got some interesting details in her work.

As always, head on over to myLifetime.com to learn more than you ever thought you wanted to know about Althea. Don’t hate because she’s pretty!
