The final show

Please watch the video in the previous post i made today!

It's below.

I was devastated when Reco did not get a chance to win The Fashion Show! I loved his collection and it was really unique. The wedding dress had such an interesting silhouette and it was nice how he included fashionable sportswear in his collection. It was very cohesive and should not have been eliminated.

I thought Daniella's and James Paul's collections should have had more color. But both really conveyed viewpoints. I loved the elegance and masculinity of Daniella's and the avant garde feel of James Paul's. Anna's was really unique (like Reco's) and was tasteful for young women. I would love to wear some of the pieces. However, I think she recycled some of the styles too much. The wave patterned dress looked like the pleats from LeAnn Marshall's (Project Runway winner) collection. The crystal bow looked boring for the second time.

But the for the final show, it was kind of disappointing compared to Project Runway. It would have been nice to have a preview of all the collections in the making, and they really shouldn't have left it to the audience to vote on the best looks. Also, the crowd wasn't that pleasing (in respects to being filled with industry insiders). I only saw Betsey Johnson and the housewives from the Bravo specials. Besides Betsey, I was expecting more famous people to be there.

But all in all, the designers did a good job of showcasing all the trends that will be popular soon, including:

• defined/strong shoulders
• futuristic textures
• pieces that can be worn in different ways
• bold, electric colors
• metallics/embellishment
