I just spoke to last week's ousted designer, the supercute Wesley for his take on what went down. Read on for his regrets and what’s up next!

Stylehive: What were your thoughts on this challenge?
Wesley: I was nervous going into it from the start because I don’t like to not have control or some sort of say in like fabric choice and stuff like that. Especially when it’s something like this- it’s very important that you do well, so it was rough to have someone else in control of that.

Stylehive: What was your reaction to Natalie Portman coming in as a guest judge?
Wesley: I was really excited that she was gonna be the guest judge. I think she’s a beautiful young actress and I would love to dress her one day, obviously not in the dress that I made yesterday, but I just think she has a great style and she’s very classic and. beautiful, so I was excited.

Stylehive: The judges were pretty harsh on you, what was going through your mind when you were standing up there listening to their critiques?
Wesley: To be honest, I had a lot of the same issues and thoughts going into it, and I knew I was gonna be on the bottom so I kind of prepared myself for that. I mean I could see where I went wrong.

Stylehive: If you could go back, what would you do differently?
Wesley: If I could go back I would have done just a safe, simple silhouette with minimal seaming. When you look at the episode, you see that there are two other people who have the same exact fabric and same exact color as me, so I was kind of competing with them as well.?

Stylehive: What’s next for you?
Wesley: I went from no one knowing me as a designer to everyone that watches the show kind of recognizing me as a designer , so I want to use that to my advantage. I’m looking to start my own line with Daniel - one of the other contestants form the show - we’re planning on working together. So it’s all very up in the air right now, but hopefully something will work out.
