Making the Cut, the popular design competition show, premiered the compelling first two episodes of the new season on Amazon Prime Video on August 18, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. ET. 10 candidates participated in the program, competing to establish their own fashion company abroad. The show is hosted by Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn.
Emily Bargeron was one of the contestants to display their work. The Making the Cut contestant said in the introduction that her grandmother is her biggest motivator. Mamie Ruth, her clothing line, is named after her grandmother. The Savannah, Georgia native tweaked her outfit but failed to impress judges Nicole Richie, design director of House of Harlow 1960, and Jeremy Scott, creative director of Moschino.
Making the Cut participant Emily Bargeron has a degree in fashion.
Emily Bargeron, entrepreneur and designer was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, in a close-knit family. As a child, this talented candidate discovered his love for design and fashion while playing with the dresses in his grandmother’s closet. Emily graduated from Georgia Southern University with a BA in Fashion or Apparel Design before working as a page supervisor and graphic designer for the Statesboro Herald. After her designs were well received during Charleston Fashion Week in 2009, she decided to dedicate herself full time to design and founded her own company, Mamie Ruth.
Emily mentioned in her introduction to Making the Cut that her Mamie Ruth fashion label was named after her grandmother, who she describes as “95 and still healthy.” Talking about her grandmother, the contestant said that she always dressed politely and that Emily’s fashion sense influenced her.
Emily further explains her inspiration, saying:
“You have to be super creative and make these yourself because you love clothes. I am working to expand my brand. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and I’m on track to create the next global brand.”
In Savannah, Georgia, Making the Cut participants have three businesses: Mamie Ruth’s (a vintage store), an ice cream/gift shop, and a custom t-shirt company. Emily creates clothes that are “extremely vibrant and remind you of a good time.”
Emily Bargeron was the first Making the Cut contestant to be eliminated.
The contestants had to wear two outfits as part of their evening war project during the season premiere, which will be shown as part of the catwalk on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Check out 10 designers who competed for a chance to win $1 million and mentor with Amazon Fashion. While the other contestants showed a variety of styles, colors, patterns, textures and designs, Emily chose a multi-layered rainbow dress that the judges said did not meet the criteria of the project. Experts say the two-piece suit is “too day-like” and not suitable for nighttime wear.
While the colors of her second available jumpsuit were beautiful, the Making the Cut judges believed the waistband spoiled the design feel and “looked cheap”. The contestant agreed with the comment and asked the judges to give her another chance. On the other hand, Heidi claimed that Emily “did not make the list” and was therefore disqualified from the competition.
Making the Cut winners will receive mentorship from Amazon Fashion, the opportunity to sell the collection in the Making the Cut store, and $1 million to invest in their company. They will also have the opportunity to design new color variations and related products for the store. The first two episodes of Making the Cut Season 3 are available now on Amazon Prime Video. The next two episodes will air on Thursday, August 25, 2022.
