Joshua leading the competition on Making The Cut Season 2

 

Making The Cut spoilers ahead! On the latest episodes of MTC, which dropped today on Amazon Prime, the competing designers were paired up to collaborate on the perfect wedding look. The winners were  Joshua Scacheri  and Lucie Brochard (catch our chat with her on Monday) who had judges Heidi Klum, Winnie Harlow, and Jeremy Scott swooning over their design. It was the second win for Scacheri—no biggie!—and we caught up with him again on Zoom this week to hear how he’s staying cool under pressure and why the response to his appearance on the show is making him emotional. 

Congratulations again! Two wins. How did that feel?
Amazing. Really amazing. A double whammy? I don’t know if that’s what they say. But it’s great! You still need to be grounded, but we can celebrate a little bit. I’m looking forward to the next challenge.

Heidi was a little critical of your runway look. How do you handle that kind of criticism when you’re in the moment?
It’s a critique, isn’t it? It’s a fashion competition. People are going to judge what you do. Some people like your stuff, some might pick up on little details that could be improved. In the real world, you would make things better because you’ve got your facilities or your team to work with you. Sometimes people will like it, or they don’t like it. I think Heidi did like it; she just wanted to make a few comments and shine the light more on Lucie, which is fair enough. She’s an amazing designer, I love working with her. It’s all cool. We won at the end of the day. It showed the people that we connected our creativity, and we respected each other’s crafts. I think that was the important takeaway from that assignment.

I know you work with a team now with your own brand. Are you comfortable collaborating with others?
I’m pretty comfortable with it. I love collaborating with people. Our recent campaign shoot with LOVE HERO was with a creative team, and all the film directors were people that I’ve worked with in the past who are now friends. They all come together and we collaborate on the ideas. For me collaboration is really key for bringing in different types of energy into a collection or to something you’re doing.

Where were you when the other designers looks were coming down the runway? Are you critical of your competitors?
We’re all backstage and there’s a TV screen. We don’t actually get to see the physical runway but then when we go up to speak to Tim, there’s a screen. Sometimes we could see the TV screen a little bit so sometimes we were trying to do a little cheeky look. I don’t think you’re not critiquing designers. You just go, ‘Okay. Is this good enough?’ Or are you better than them? There’s a motion going through your mind because you just want to make sure that you’re safe or if you’ve got a good chance of winning. There’s no negativity. We all have different aesthetics

The show hadn’t aired when we chatted last week. What kind of feedback have you gotten? 
It’s been amazing. It’s just been so overwhelming with all the DMs and people following us. There’s messages [from] all around the world. People say, ‘You’ve inspired me, thank you so much.’ People of different genders who have bought the kimono from the outfit, it’s just amazing how versatile that look was! It’s been beautiful—I don’t know how to explain it. I’ve had attention before in my life and with my previous brand, but nothing like this on this level. To get messages from Brazil, Argentina and Australia…where I come from; it was quite emotional really.

How so?
I think as a designer you’re always protecting yourself. It’s a hard gig to do a brand. I’ve done it before, but it was a struggle. I knew that I needed to go work and get more experience. So moving to London, that’s where I got the experience. But I also saw the big luxury brands that work for this, it’s a struggle for them too. So when you get that sort of gratification from someone buying your clothes…not just buying them, but saying, ‘You helped me transform and gave me confidence.’ That’s what I take away, more than the monetized value of the transaction. That’s why I do it. Just to put smiles on people’s faces. When they wear my clothes and it makes them feel good, it’s an extension of their personality. If I can help them reinforce a personality, or make them come out of their shell, or make them feel complete in some way, that’s the beauty of a designer.  That’s why I do it.

  • When most people hear the words “crypto recovery service, " their guard immediately goes up—and for good reason.

    In today’s online environment, finding a legitimate service feels like finding a needle in a haystack. Ask about trusted crypto recovery on any major forum—Reddit, Bitcointalk, or Twitter—and you’ll be met with immediate hostility. It has become a cultural bias: victims often prefer to file police reports (which rarely yield results) rather than seek private help, fearing that speaking openly will only attract more scammers.

    But here is the harsh truth: Silence doesn’t bring your funds back.

    The reality of the crypto landscape is brutal. Less than 10% of “recovery agencies” online are genuine. Fraudsters have mastered the art of mimicking trust, preying on the desperate and the skeptical alike. So, how do you separate the wolves from the professionals?

    The Golden Rule: No Upfront Fees

    If there is one single sign that separates a scam from a legitimate operation, it is the payment model.

    The Red Flag: Upfront Demands

    Predatory scams will always demand money before they lift a finger. They will invent reasons such as:
    "Processing fees.
    "Software license costs
    "Tax payments or legal retainers

    If an agency asks you to pay before they recover your assets, walk away. This is not a service; it is a secondary scam designed to bleed you dry after your initial loss.

    The Green Flag: Success-Based Fees

    A genuine agency knows its value lies in results, not promises. We operate on a transparent, success-based fee structure—typically around 10% of the recovered amount.

    Simply put: No recovery, no payment.

    We only eat when you do. This aligns our incentives entirely with yours. We don’t want your money upfront; we want to prove our competence by returning what is rightfully yours.

    Enter TechY Force Cyber Retrieval

    At TechY Force, we understand the skepticism. We’ve seen the forums. We know the stigma. That’s why we built our reputation on transparency, technical expertise, and a zero-risk model for our clients.

    We don’t ask for trust blindly; we earn it through action.

    How We Work

    1. Free Initial Consultation: We analyze your case without cost. If we can’t help, we tell you honestly.
    2. Investigation & Tracing: Our cyber-forensic team uses advanced blockchain analytics to trace stolen funds.
    3. Recovery Execution: We engage with exchanges, legal entities, and black-hat actors where necessary to secure your assets.
    4. Payment Upon Success: You only pay our agreed-upon percentage after the funds are securely returned to you.

    Breaking the Cycle of Fear

    The crypto industry was built on the idea of decentralization and personal sovereignty. But when things go wrong, isolation is your enemy. Scammers thrive in the shadows of your fear. Professionals thrive in the light of transparency.

    Don’t let the fear of secondary scams prevent you from seeking genuine help. Look for the golden rule. Look for the no-upfront-fee guarantee.

    Look for TechY Force Cyber Retrieval.

  • They Recovered 87% of My 2023 Crypto Fraud Loss with Decentralized Codex Security
    An Unbelievable Recovery from a 2023 Crypto Scam
    If you are reading this while dealing with the cold dread of a lost cryptocurrency investment, please know that help is real. I am writing this to share my professional testimony and profound gratitude for Decentralized Codex Security.
    
    Like many others, I fell victim to a sophisticated crypto investment fraud in 2023. The feeling of helplessness after watching my funds disappear into the digital void was indescribable. Local authorities couldn’t help, and I was told that once crypto is gone, it’s gone forever. I almost believed it.
    
    In a last-ditch effort, I reached out to Decentralized Codex Security at consult@decentralizedcodexsecurity.com . From my very first interaction, their team stood in stark contrast to the vague promises I’d seen elsewhere. They provided a transparent, step-by-step plan and assigned a dedicated investigator who patiently explained their process.
    
    Their expertise is genuinely next-level. Using advanced on-chain forensics, they traced my stolen assets through a maze of wallets and mixing services. The critical breakthrough came when their tracing revealed my funds had landed in an account on a KYC-compliant exchange. The team at http://www.decentralizedcodexsecurity.com immediately prepared a legally rigorous report and liaised directly with the exchange’s security team to freeze the assets.
    
    The result? An astonishing 87% of my funds were returned to my custody. They didn’t just help me recover my investment; they restored my faith in the possibility of justice in the crypto space. Their fee, taken as a percentage of the recovered funds, was worth infinitely more than accepting a total loss.
    
    If you need a team that combines cutting-edge blockchain investigation with real legal partnerships, look no further. Do not suffer in silence. Contact them today.
    
    Sincerely,
