Karas was a knock off of santino & jay.., Santino seemed to have toned it down..a lot. I like his collection best but it just seemed so plain though the colors were nice. Daniels was boring, not "chic". Chloe..well i don't like any of her stuff. shes too plain and hasent made anything thats caught my attention. I hated the innovation dress and the nikki hilton dress. The contestants from season 1 had a lot more talent and their collections were amazing. This year it's just.. bland and boring. Compare last seasons 4 to this years and it's just disapointing. I would have loved to see what Andrae and nick would have made if they had made it to the final 4.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1139628364131286692006-02-10T19:26:00.000-08:002006-02-10T19:26:00.000-08:00I'm rooting for Kara too!

Last week we saw that jump in its actual context, which was when Tim announced they would be modeling their own makeover outfits. One week later. Soooo, where I'm going with this is the Nina comment "I'm not impressed anymore", which hasn't made an appearance yet. Could it be that Daniel screws up again after the disappointing makeover for Chloe and Nina is "not impressed anymore" with his offering for next week? I hate to go down that path, but I just can't think of any other scenario- unless the comment never surfaces at all. Which is possible. Let us now pray, just in case.......<BR/><BR/>Frances in Seattle<BR/><BR/>ps- I was the poster who made the correction about "fishtail vs fishbowl" a couple of weeks back.

They didn't look Santino at all, and for any designer to sellout is not good.<BR/><BR/>Chloe's--80's, but in some way it was interesting. The metallics were different and maybe her collection was the most inspired.<BR/><BR/>Daniel's--His attention to detail (and the correct use of detail, take note Santino) could very easily win him this challenge. His was the only fall collection I saw of any of the four finalist (Chloe's might be, I would just call her's evening, not fall).<BR/><BR/>Kara's--I am happy for her, she has worked very hard, and again I like the colors in her collection, but it just fell short to me. It was too contrived.<BR/><BR/>Come on Chloe or Daniel win this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1139616573521962632006-02-10T16:09:00.000-08:002006-02-10T16:09:00.000-08:00santino's work is amazing. i loved his collection....santino's work is amazing. i loved his collection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1139615006930006852006-02-10T15:43:00.000-08:002006-02-10T15:43:00.000-08:00Loved Kara's, especially the tiered dress, althoug...Loved Kara's, especially the tiered dress, although it was definitely reminiscent of Jay's last year.

It had some great pieces but to me they were mostly very simple silhouettes. Kara-yeah-her hats reminded me immediately of Jay, as well as the layered dresses. Daniel's was really bland. I was expecting more I guess. Like someone said, you could go out to any Gap or Banana Republic and find similar stuff. Ooooh, I'm hoping that Santino will win because his collection was...

But wait until you see them in motion. Many of Daniel and Chloe's don't fit very well at all. Santino's and Kara's pieces fit perfectly!<BR/><BR/>I agree that Daniel and Chloe each had some great individual pieces, but as a whole they were really disappointing.

He did indeed tone it down but I thought he had some lovely results. However, he did have some things with odd waistlines. And I felt that this was not really a cohesive F/W collection, but more just a bunch of dresses. Still, pretty.<BR/><BR/>Kara- I either really liked her stuff or really didn't like it. But she had some fun color and I felt that it did seem like an actual collection. I thought it was a surprising and good collection from her.<BR/><BR/>Chloe- She had a couple of dresses that I adored, but a few things that I hated. (The gold lame dress for instance). They did seem to be well made.<BR/><BR/>Daniel- His improves I think a lot on more viewings. He has some really nice detailing. For example, from an initial look at some of his pictures, I thought that he had some plain black pants. Turns out that they are not plain but have some nice jet detailing on one and cute silver buttons the other. I have noticed the same with some other pieces as well- that there are some really nice touches. I thought his, like Kara's seemed the most like an actual collection.<BR/><BR/>Here are some more takes on the shows by the press:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nj.com/newslogs/fashionweek/index.ssf?/mtlogs/njo_fashionweek/archives/2006_02.html#111919<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2006/02/new_york_fashio_17.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/entertainment/gossip/13842308.htm<BR/><BR/>I just can't wait to see the collections in action!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1139609106062953692006-02-10T14:05:00.000-08:002006-02-10T14:05:00.000-08:00CUTE!

I probably liked most of Daniel and Chloe's collections and I like some of Santino and Kara. Kara is a real surprise to me because her whole collection is unexpectedly funky. Santino's is unexpectedly pretty. Wow. From the collections you can't really tell who was really in the final three and who wasn't. Amazing. I wish the New York Fashion Week people would put the four collections on their website so I could just watch a slide show of each collection with each outfit smoothly transitioning to the next without the closing and opening new photo breaks in sequence. Wow. I'm just blown away.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744554230459517361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1139607630189114242006-02-10T13:40:00.000-08:002006-02-10T13:40:00.000-08:00I dont know why everbody has taken to kara so much...I dont know why everbody has taken to kara so much.
