By Jeff Long | Season 10 | Episode 11 | Aired on 09.27.2012
Afterwards, Heidi says that they all did a good job. They bring out one baby at a time and Amy and Jude are first. Everyone is in love with this baby, because he has just the happiest face. Hilary says, "What a flirt," which is one of my least favorite things that people say about babies. I just don't get it. Maybe that's my fault (it isn't). Sonjia says that she was going for a "little man" look that was still casual. Heidi says that she quite likes it. Michael likes that it looks polished but modern. They also love the maxi dress and denim jacket that Amy is wearing.
Melissa's mom and daughter are next. Heidi loves the jacket that the baby is wearing, but hates how the tube dress keeps riding up. Hilary thinks that side zippers on baby clothes can be kind of dangerous with wiggly kids. Michael loves that her mom is wearing shorts. Fabio says that he was trying to make something easy to wear and fun. Michael loves that it seems nautical. Heidi loves it too, but she thinks that his mom dress is too old. Nina likes all of it. She appreciates that the baby outfit is not too "baby", because he's 14-months and no longer a little baby. I think I registered a look of fear on the mom's face, like she didn't realize her baby was growing up. That was sad. Elena's team comes out and she explains her look. Michael likes the construction of the jacket, but he doesn't feel like the other pieces connect. It's like a baby sample sale. Heidi doesn't like the pants. Hilary loves the jacket, so does Heidi. Nina thinks that the jacket is the problem. It's not practical. She thinks that the mom's look is the best of all of them, but that's not what this challenge is about.
Dmitry's baby is asleep and they just leave him like that. He does show that the hood unzips to make a cape. Michael thinks that this is a flaw. Heidi points out that lots of kids clothes do this. "Is this a trend?" he asks. Nina looks at him like he's from Mars. "They're dreaming that they're superheroes," Heidi explains. Michael just had to be informed that kids like to play around. Hilary thinks that the outfit is borderline costume, but she really likes it. Nancy and Nile come out and Christopher explains their collaboration. Nina says that it looks adorable on the runway, but it's not very practical. Heidi likes it a lot. Michael isn't crazy about the jacket, but he really likes the dress. He loves the dress for mom. Hilary loves all of it, including the jacket. Heidi thanks all of them and says that this is going to be a tough decision.
