You wouldn't know it from the Getty pages, but the order of the shows was: Daniel, Kara, Chloe, Santino.

Noticed Daniel went back to the combed-across-the-forehead bangs. His hair looked so much better when he had the makeover on the last show. Loved the white coat. Interesting collar!

Kara's knit hats seemed like a great idea to me at first, but then I remembered that Jay did them last year. And they looked better then, I think, because they fit into his concept of isolation/alienation much better.

Daniel's outfits were fantastic. One of Kara's outfits was so hideous, if I wore it my friends would think I was on crack. Anyway, I checked out the Red Tent Runway. Once again, my theory that some women should not go braless has been reinforced.

Ya know, I have to admit that Santino has grown on me. He seems like a huge pain in the ass to work with, but he cracks me up. He can't sew worth a damn, though. Hope he has a good seamstress with him in the future, lol.

I absolutely hate that I went and saw those pics because I have to face the ugly truth that I love Santino's collection. This just makes me ill. I'm sorry Nick. I feel so dirty now.

Thanks for links Landi and Tish   !! TV's "Project Runway" wraps at Fashion Week show By Chris Michaud Fri Feb 10, 3:40 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fashion Week got a dose of reality, or reality TV at least, on Friday when aspiring designer finalists on "Project Runway" showed collections aimed at winning the cable television show's top prize of $100,000 to start their own line. Industry insiders and fans of the Bravo TV series, an Emmy-nominated hit wrapping up its second season, packed the house for a look at four mini-collections created by Daniel Vasovic, Santino Rice, Chloe Dao and Kara Janx, who had prevailed over 12 other contestants. Beyond the cash award, the winner will also receive a splashy layout in Elle magazine. The four designer-hopefuls each presented 13 outfits. First up was Vasovic, whose quiet presence on the series often contrasted with the others' flamboyant dramatics. Vasovic favored classic designs including cowl necklines, tailored double-breasted coats and waist-length jackets and pleated skirts in softly feminine silks, knits, suede or satin. Dominated by gentle shades of plum, brown and mint, his designs were loose, rich and decidedly wearable. South African native Janx showed a collection that bore a more personal stamp, featuring high waisted dresses, gowns and skirts heavy on ruffles or puffy construction. Even shorts billowed. Janx rendered designs in neutral shades of gray or brown, offset by vibrant accents in teal or purple. Plaid pants or shorts were paired with purple or pink tops in satin or silk, while a pink-tiered skirt was topped white-tiered blouse. Dao hewed toward assertive but elegant looks with a bit of glamour or glitz rendered in silk, satin or taffeta. She paired puffed sleeves or shoulders with sharp lines in a collection that made heavy use of metallic hues of gold, copper, rust and copper. A classic, highly tailored brown suit followed short or long bare-shouldered olive dresses offset with a satin belt. Most surprising for the TV show's fans was Rice, whose collection bore no sign of the obsession with trims, cut-outs and other far-flung design elements that characterized his work during the series. The often-arrogant Rice, who emerged as the show's star, sent models down the runway in flowing, pleated gowns or skirts paired with lace or sometime leather-accented tops. Soft hues of peach, beige, mauve or a combination dominated his gentle designs, which belied the in-your-face pieces he often produced on the show. True to form, however, Rice proclaimed, "I'm not just good TV, I'm a great designer." The winner, to be announced during the show's March 8 episode, will be selected by the series judges, including designer Michael Kors, Elle magazine editor Nina Garcia, actress Debra Messing of "Will & Grace" fame, and the series host, supermodel Heidi Klum. YAHOO

Poor Daniel Vosovic...to be mentioned 3 times in an article, and have your name misspelled every single time. It is Vosovic, not Vasovic (at least that is how PR always spells it). Very sad, indeed. I do agree with what was said about Santino's collection...it was very different from the things he designed on the show...no whickety whack anywhere to be seen, and it was a great improvement. Shows his true talent, I think. As much as I've wanted him gone from the show, I'm glad I got a chance to see his collection.

Wow! As I browsed through the images, I was shocked to find that the outfits I immediately said, "That's cute" to were almost all from Santino! Whatever happens to get him to finally tone down the trims and start making simple, flattering designs, I say hurrah! This is the kind of thing that I thought we'd see from him all season after the first show, but then he went crazy on us. Some of Chloe's pieces are very nice and Daniel's are all very classic and nice (as I'd expect from him). Kara has a few pieces I like, but what's with the knit hats on all the models? Is she trying to be like Jay last season with his emphasis on knits and the headphones? For me, the hat took away from some of her designs. Can't wait to see the full presentation!

I think the head gear on Kara's models were like puffy yarn wigs. They did look too much like Jay's. Did they not watch this show before? Santino remade Austin's dress, and now Kara with the hats, lol. Oh well. Carry on.

Thanks Tisha for the link! It goes out 27 pages because of all the Jay pics and then they included last season's pics too. Fun! I didn't hate Kara's but the hats were distracting, partly because they were cute and colorful and in some cases I was more interested in studying the HAT.. and on the runway you shouldn't want that distraction since the model isn't out there THAT long. Some of the hats didn't help her designs at all. Daniel's were nicely done and I liked some of his but many of his looked like he was designing for Kmart? Not fashiony.. I liked most of Chloe's. She's been my favorite, but given the time I think I expected more WOW from her. Santino.. there were some really odd things, a few I kind of liked, some odd combinations with the leather. Santino exceeded my expectations of him. But my favorite of his, again reminded me of a lesser version of something Austin would do.

Possible spoiler?
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | Frumpy Americans and pencil skirts Cleaning out our closets with reality fashion television By Helyn Trickey Special to CNN If you're hoping to turn heads for all the right reasons with your fashion choices, take a note from Daniel Vosovic. The young fashion designer and star of Bravo's hit television show "Project Runway" has a sterling piece of advice, but be warned: If you're like most Americans, you've violated his mandate more times than Britney Spears has appeared on Mr. Blackwell's annual worst-dressed list. "I say if you can sleep comfortably in it, I don't want to see it on the street," Vosovic said in a phone interview from his native New York City. "It's too easy." complete article |

So, the challenge tonight was to make a dress that would represent your line at fashion week. Based on the pictures of the runway show last week, I don't think any of the 4 really did that...lol I suppose Daniel's was close enough in the simple, classic, elegant navy look but the rest I just didn't get. I also think it was difficult that halfway through making their dresses, they were told that they were also designing for Iman. IMO these should have been two separate challenges. None of the dresses were really that great but I guess I'm ok with the final three. And I did love getting to see some of Daniel's bitchy side...I think he has been holding a lot in over the competition...lol

The final three kind of surprised me! I really thought either Chloe or Santino was the decoy, lol. Especially after seeing the final collections! Did anyone pick Kara as the 'out'? I really thought it was Chloe, because her stuff, to me, looked like it was just to get through the day.

I was trying to figure out what "red carpet" event Iman wore a dress to...and the best I could come up with was the Project Runway 2 Premier party. images from the party with Iman there Chloe's dress does remind me of her collection - the back design was part of the theme from the photo link that was posted above.

Final three are Daniel, Santino and Chloe. Have to agree with the judges that tonight's designs by Daniel, Chloe, and Kara were underwhelming. While they were nice dresses, they weren't that exciting. They seemed like dresses one would have seen before. I liked Santino's dress in that he at least made an interesting design. A little less of the sparkle and I think it would've been a nice dress. I liked the skirt and the accents; just needed less of the gold trim. Kara, well, she was her own worst enemy. With very little creativity and poor craftmanship, she had no hope. Chloe's dress seemed uninspired and I wonder if she really does want to win. Daniel's dress was nice but, like I wrote above, it was a bit boring. Iman looked great in the dress though. Next week is the big reunion. Should be a fun show. I'm sticking with my thoughts from before, that it's Daniel's competition to lose. He's got so much talent and yet, he's still young so I think that's something good for him. Unless his collection totally flops with the judges, I think he'll win. While I think Santino has some talent, I wonder if he isn't a one trick pony and Daniel noted tonight. And, as the judges point out, he needs someone to reign him in, but not crush his vision. (I don't think he'd fit into Banana Republic either.) Chloe, well, she says she has passion but, I dunno. Can't wait for the final runway! Just two more weeks. Woo hoo!
