I really liked her stuff in the beginning, but I absolutely hated her collection for Fashion Week. I know the judges
kept saying how much she "knows women" and understands a "woman’s body", but my body doesn’t
look like a couch. I’m not a La-Z-Boy recliner and no way would I want to be covered with half of that
dreadful stuff she used. Everything was so heavy and overdone. I know that fashion shows are supposed to be about
drama and "the show", but I found her stuff borderline laughable. It looked like the
1980s barfed all over her collection. And I thought her 13th outfit was stupid, especially those pockets that
Diana slaved over. I just have so many mixed feelings about Chloe winning because while I like her, I
don’t love her.
And Santino…
Let’s be honest, he is the real winner of this season. He’s the one whom everyone will remember. Not Chloe. I
actually really liked Santino’s collection. It was simple, but sexy. I adored his fabrics. Everything just looked in
place. I did not see the "boob situation" that Heidi saw. I think the problem is that none of those models
had boobs. I think that there were places for boobs, but no boobs to fill them in. Santino needed boobs.
Santino did go really conservative for Fashion Week. I think that’s the fault of the judges. Every week, they
beat him down with how ridiculously theatrical his designs were. So, I can’t blame him for suddenly going all soft
and pretty. But not everything was soft and pretty. I must say, his shout-up speech to his mom was pretty lame.
"Yo, my mom is the shit!…and here are a bunch of super pretty dresses." He should have added that at the
end. I just wish that at one point in my life, I can give a profanity-laden shout out to my mom in front of a
roomful of strangers. I’m sure that would make her proud.
Daniel V.’s collection was boring, boring,
boring. Too many separates and not enough dresses. And that last dress was just plain hideous. I wanted to rip that
patch thing off too, Michael Kors. But, as a whole, his collection was very wearable, and the guy is very likable.
I secretly wanted him to win. (Psych…I was rooting for Santino the whole time.) But I think this kid has a great
future in front of him. I’m glad to see that Michael Kors hinted at a possible job position. I think that would work
out brilliantly. I agree with the judges in thinking that his 13th piece was the best piece of his collection. Maybe he
and Nick should become a designing duo. And I’ll admit it…I dug the handbags. I know a lot of you (and Tim) thought
they looked very craft fair, but I dug ‘em. I’d rock them around town.
