Who did America vote for on The Fashion Show? Tonight, we’ll find out. All the designers from Season 1 of The Fashion Show return this evening to gossip and recount all the mishaps and scandals that happened throughout the show. Did Johnny really create a knock off? Who’s the biggest crybaby? What happened when the cameras stopped rolling?
There will surely be some funny stories and things we learn about the show tonight…but the most important thing we’ll find out…who wins!

That’s right, it’s all come down to this…Issac, Kelly and Fern will unveil the winner who will take home the grand …read more

We have already discussed Johnny’s bad design decisions in this week’s episode of The Fashion Show, which meant this week deciding who to send home was and not necessarily based which evening gown was truly heinous. I was surprised and delighted to see what Daniella created. The flow-y grey dress drapes so nicely…and the embellishment across the back is just interesting enough to stand out, without trying so hard that it rules the classic shape.

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

The same model who sported the bouncy curls last week on The Fashion Show was number one on the runway this week with a chic and sexy low bun by TRESemmé lead stylist, Jeanie Syfu. I love an updo that doesn’t look too fussy but still makes a statement, especially when you’re wearing something as chic as Daniella’s dream evening gown.

Elegant and easy to replicate at home, you can create the same look yourself following a few simple steps:
1. Starting with damp hair, apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse on the top section, and blow dry with a round …read more

Wow. Just W-O-W. Last night on The Fashion Show, Johnny was eliminated. Because of a bad design? Oh no…because he ripped off Lanvin (yes, THAT Lanvin!) with his homage to the dress Maggie Gyllenhaal wore to the 2009 Golden Globes. I thought Reco’s design was abysmal, so it’s too bad that lack of originality and personal flare is what brought Johnny down.

What do you think? Was Issac on the mark with this one? I think it’s safe to say you couldn’t get much less original…especially with the belt and the fabric choice. The hemline though – blech. Johnny should have …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.

How Johnny escaped being in the bottom two, I do not know. Even though the idea of sweats on the …read more

Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite designers these days (not that it’s a big surprise!) so I have to admit to feeling a pang when she announced that she’s considering retirement. Luckily, the brand will continue, with Eric Satori as the possible successor.  He has previously designed for Azzedine Alaïa, Vera Wang and Herve Leger.
As long as he can continue to design whimsical, stylish clothes and accessories – I’m excited to see what he can bring to the table! After all, he’s got some pretty cool shoes to fill…

There were lots of emotions in this week’s episode of The Fashion Show. Sadly, Haven – one of my favorites – was sent home and someone other Daniella won both challenges (hurray for that…!).

As for the winning design from Johnny…I must say, I was disappointed to see a basic black dress be picked once again. There were other designs that seemed far better to me, such as Anna’s black and white shift dress which came down the runway paired with a cute cropped pink jacket. A little bit flapper-esque, it just seemed so polished and like something I can imagine …read more

It’s not easy to style and care for extra curly hair. To play off Haven and Anna’s tribal inspired outfit for the elimination challenge on this week’s episode of The Fashion Show, Jeanie Syfu kept the model’s hair natural, but emphasized each curl using a curling iron and extra care. She ended up looking naturally chic, not too done up – just like a winner should.

You can recreate this look using a few simple steps from TRESemme.

A Few Tips…

Curls require extra maintenance – if you go too long without a trim, those ringlets will not cooperate.
Be mindful of the weather …read more

Sure, everyone seems to agree that Haven and Anna’s winning design from Thursday’s episode of The Fashion Show was the best…a conclusion that was predictable almost to a fault. But since there were only four designs this week between each team of two, let’s take a minute to talk about what went wrong – or right – with the other three designs.

Merlin and Johnny created quite a nice looking dress -but the coat didn’t do much for it. I like the shoes they paired with their design – and her hair is out of control messy chic! Even though I …read more

This week on The Fashion Show, the designers worked in pairs to complete each of the challenges. In the Harper’s Bazaar Mini Challenge, they paired up to answer every party girl’s favorite question…
“How am I going to turn this party dress into work attire? Because I don’t have time to go home and shower.”
You know you’ve been there…and if you say you haven’t, I know you’re fibbing!
Though working in pairs felt oddly reminiscent of the team challenges we all don’t miss, what made the difference in this case was who ended up working with who. The teams were:

Lidia and James-Paul
Merlin …read more
