The fans have spoken, and the winner of The Fashion Show and $125K is Anna McCraney!
Anna was the only contestant who never finished in the bottom two; additionally, two of her designs won the weekly elimination challenge. Anna's final collection was gorgeous, well-crafted, and retail-friendly, which resonated with 56% of the voters. Some viewers said, "I'd buy every one of those pieces."
Blogging Bravo wishes a hearty congratulations to Ms McCraney. We hope to see a lot more of you in the future, and we hope you have a fabulous career in fashion.
What did you all think of this hybrid reunion/finale show?
theminx: I felt the reunion part of the show was dull. No need to give us a rehash of the top designers' looks. Yawn. Where were the outtakes? The funny stuff? The stuff that shows us that these designers actually had some personality? Oh, that's right - The Fashion Show is about fashion, not entertainment. My bad.
I am happy that Anna won - she was my favorite. Although I could appreciate what James-Paul was trying to express, I wasn't sure how to wear many of his pieces. I know Daniella's collection was the judges' favorite (winning her a check for $10K) but I wasn't feeling it. The bad 80s styling turned me off, as did those creepy peach shoulder pads. Like someone ripped the shoulders off a mannequin and hot-glued them to a top.
Anyway, I hate to admit it, but I'm glad the show is over. I hope, if it comes back for another season, that we see some major changes.
Aren't you glad one of our favorite recappers has hung in there until the bitter end? Thanks, Eric 3000, for your hilarious take on the show.
