Congratulations, Anna!! I’ve been a huge fan of her work over the course of this season of The Fashion Show, especially in the later episodes where you really started to see her designs develop into something special. I’m delighted to see Anna win this week – with 31% over the judges pick. That’s a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!

Then there was Reco’s candy colored dress. I honestly can’t stand this one bit – dropped waists are so unflattering if you are not shaped like …read more

I thought I’d switch it up this week in our recap of the best and worst to come out of The Fashion Show by starting with the disasters and working our way to the top.
Merlin didn’t make the grade with his strange sweatsuit and yellow coat. I have to admit, I actually really like the yellow coat a lot – but the rest of it is just too weird and unflattering for him to have stayed in the competition any longer.
