Roving Reporter . . . The Fashion Show . . . RESULTS

This was the final installment of THE FASHION SHOW!
There were trips down memory lane . . . Funniest moment was watching a series of clips between Issac Mizrahi and Merlin, with Kelly Rowland translating as Issca just couldn't understand Merlin's accent!



The judges choice was announced . . . Daniella Kallmeyer . . . winning $10,000 with Glenda Bailey of Harpers Bazaar promising to introduce her to some designers to work with.

The overall winner though was Anna with 56% of the vote, winning $125,000.

It was a fabulous series and the final three much deserved their places. Anna was a worthy winner, as Daniella's talent wa evident and her youth and exposure through this show will ensure she will go from strength to strength.

Lets close the chapter on this Fashion Show and await the next.

Roving Reporter . . . The Fashion Show 11

OMG this is too exciting!

Finally after 11 weeks the finale is here! The final fab four have had 10 weeks to create a collection of 10 pieces with the winner getting $125,000 and a selection of the collection sold on Bravotv.com.

Weirdly one contestant will be eliminated after the fashion show and wont face the public vote, which seams totally cruel! But that is what I have come to expect from Issac Mizrahi and Kelly Rowland's show!

The first part was drama, drama, drama! With Reco's dresses being too tight and as usual his collection was OTT and costume like where as Daniella Kallmeyer and Anna did beautiful, luxury, wearable pieces. JP in my mind is in a world of his own. I don't see the creativity, I think he is just so up himself! All this 'I'm a designer, no one gets me' (boo hoo hoo!)

Anna's was the most commercial of the four, but I felt it was all a bit dowdy and frumpy and it all just felt like she re-made everything from the show in a new set of fabrics. Though there were some stand out pieces towards the end of it.

Daniella's rocked, as she made her accessories and her runway music! Im still humming it to myself! And as a frequent runway watcher, music can be a huge decider on the mood.

Well now the judges offer their two cents . . .

Poor Anna was slated for having a disjointed collection, while . . .

Daniella was praised for her sexy, androgynous collection but then again called a size-ist as she had the skinniest girls and even her leather pants were baggy!

Reco was told off by Fern for not giving the detail he had shown in earlier shows but congratulated on finally doing research! In fact it was Reco who got the judges arguing! Editor of Harpers told him his wedding dress was not good and way too theatrical, poor bloke got a rinsing!

JP was knocked for his last jacket and for his complicated looks, 'you need an instruction card to wear it!' But praised for being a consistency arty designer.

I love, love, love listening to them argue! Daniella is so London in her style and Issac praised her for having newness in her collection. Reco, JP and Anna all caused such hot debate, who doesn't like hearing people disagree!

Reco did not make the final 3, I'm pretty shocked, but actually his collection was to dramatic and wedding dressy for the runway!

It is now up to the American Public to choose the winner of THE FASHION SHOW!

Who will win?!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

Roving Reporter . . . The Fashion Show On Bravo . . . Angel talks to W Mag

Angel was slated by Jonny in the latest episode of The Fashion Show as deliberately sabotaging him!

Here on the Link Below, W Magazine get to the bottom of this claim!

Fav part of the interview is finding out that presenters Issac Mizrahi and Kelly Rowland didn't chat to contestants off camera. They have been terrible presenters, mentors or any other kind of contributor to the show. I much prefer Ben de Lisi and his words of wisdom on our UK Project Catwalk! Help not hinder! I wont miss Issac Mizrahi squinting and shaking his head in disapproval just to unnerve the designers!

Roving Reporter . . . The Fashion Show Week 3

Part One: Setting the Scene:

Another week, another episode. Slowly the poor designers are being cut down and slung out and the stronger players are coming to the forefront. It's taken me a while to get to grips with who I'm loving and who I'm, in the words of Issac Mizrahi 'Just not buying'.

JP is definitely being under-estimated, there is something very London about his ideas. Always creative and thinking outside the box, even the judges constantly assume he is not going to cut it, only to find that he wows at the shows.

Reco is getting on my nerves! Seriously there is confidence, then there is cocky. He is bashing his team mates and becoming too controlling, he shouldn't of cut their patterns for them, let them work on their own, as you will see it didn't make him the winner anyway. Yes he is good and yes the judges and the audience like his design, but the whole 'it's so wrong for one man to be this talented' is just bull! I have watched many a new designer in my time and quite frankly he just isn't that impressive. If he really was that good he wouldn't need the fashion show to make it. After all, London designers are constantly working without money.

Daniella, she is still where my loyalties lie, but I just wish she would put her claws away fora little bit. Though sometimes with good reason, she needs to become a bit more of a team player especially in the early stages! - Still the best designer there though.

Part Three: The Show:

When facing the judges, surely you should put a guard on what you say! Daniella's team won, the correct decision I thought as the whole collection was cohesive and delicious but when she told the judges that Andrew's design was her idea I nearly died! Head designers are constantly feeding ideas to their workers and taking no credit, she should've just relished in the fact that she was a strong leader who got her team to win, but I think her reaction is purely to do with age and she hasn't got to that point where she can just let it go! However that move will not in-dear her to her fellow contestants and in the early stages you need friends as well as competition! 

Two Losers - only one elimination!

Haven - Why dig a whole for yourself! - Having said that I didn't hate the design that much.

Markus - You can't sew, which Fashion School did you go to? 

Both very poor pieces!

Roving Reporter . . . The Fashion Show Week 2

Fash-Pack are still obsessed with the Bravo's 'The Fashion Show'.
We are still championing Daniella as the the brightest start on the show, her eye for cute and edgy design is set to take everyone by storm and the catty comments make this show so fab! I love the drama, G-d Bless Americans!
Comment of the week has to be from Haven . . . 'I don't like the red tulle . . . It's just UGLY!' and Jonny flying off the handle at the judges, telling them to send him home as he isn't a sewer! HELLO! Having lost one person last week and another quitting at the beginning of this weeks show there is plenty of pressure and personality clash! I won't ruin who won, but make sure to watch the fashion show (episode 4) and tell us if you think the right team / person won!
