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!!

Let’s look back at some of Anna’s best work this season…
There was the chic, work friendly pencil skirt and sheer top (I love the updo her model is sporting too!)…

Then there was the sweet little pink jacket paired with an Alexander McQueen-esque dress that makes my heart …read more

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

How adorable was Anna last night up on the runway presenting her collection for the season finale of The Fashion Show? Okay, I might be a little biased because I think she should be the clear winner here (and have thought so for a while now!), but I really have to say I was very impressed with the beautiful clothes she created.

I could see these clothes in a high end store or on someone walking down the street – everything just makes sense. I wasn’t surprised at all to hear from the judges that several people in the audience …read more

My perception of James-Paul really changed a lot over the course of season on The Fashion Show. At first I thought he would be at the top of every episode; he started out so strong. But then there were some designs that were rather disappointing as each episode progressed. For his final collection, James-Paul did a nice job creating clothes that look comfortable (though a bit complicated…even if the shades of black and grey were a little boring after the fourth or fifth model strutted down the runway.

As far as the judges were concerned, they weren’t overly enthusiastic, but liked …read more

The judges seemed most impressed and excited with Daniella’s collection last night on The Fashion Show. Totally consistent with the type of clothes we’ve seen from Daniella throughout the season, I do agree her work was very strong. One thing they did comment on was that her clothes tend to seem a little unfriendly for figures that aren’t meant for the runways of Milan and Paris…will her designs resonate with the curvy population of America who is voting for the grand prize winner?

Even though Daniella has been a bit of a pill throughout the season, her work is almost always …read more

Last night on The Fashion Show, Pt. 1 of the season finale aired – each of the four designers showcased their best work in a final runway challenge. Of course…as we told you yesterday, not all of the designers were going to be eligible for the final vote from America.

Well, Reco’s collection unfortunately didn’t make the grade. After having some trouble fitting the models into his super teeny designs, Reco presented his work to the audience and judges. Overall, I liked it…but I didn’t love it. The really strange dress with fringe everywhere was probably the low point for …read more

Name: Daniella
Winning Designs: 3
Considers Her Style To Be: Edgy, with a bit of rockstar flair
Worked With: Luca Luca, Les Chiffoniers and Alexander McQueen
We Loved: The gorgeous homage to Christian Dior.
We Hated: The cropped floral pants that destroyed an otherwise pretty outfit.
Final Thoughts: Daniella has been very strong in this competition…clearly she is in it to win it. But is that enough? She has been strong, or the strongest, in a number of elimination challenges, and taken home a few prizes in the mini-challenge competitions too. Even though her attitude and teamwork could still use a lot of work, Daniella …read more

If you’re a fan of Bravo’s latest show NYC Prep, a show following the lives of these ultra rich prep school kids (think Real Housewives of New York but younger), then you’ll probably take a liking to these handbags. Kooba has created a series of handbags based on each of the girls’ personalities. And if you watch the series, each of the characters carries their namesake bags. Clever advertising, no?

Kooba Camille Bag in Navy was designed for Camille, the girl with super high standards and has her whole life planned out. The bag is made of leather …read more

Name: Reco
Winning Designs: 1
Hometown: Chattanooga, Tennessee
Considers His Style To Be: Sexy and Ultra Glamorous
We Loved: The curvy work combo he created for the plus-size challenge.
We Hated: The candy colored evening gown from last week.
Final Thoughts: Even though Reco can be prone to drama and outbursts when he is under stress, he has created some lovely pieces throughout the competition. At times he can be a little out there, but no matter how short the skirt or tight the shirt, Reco’s designs are always wearable.
The Fashion Show airs at 10pm ET/PT eachThursday on Bravo and don’t forget – after each episode, …read more
