Which Designer Will be Eliminated on Thursday?

poll by twiigs.com

Somehow I assumed that there were four "Fashion Show" finalists. But I was wrong, there are three. So - one of these talented designers will be eliminated in Thursday night's episode. Who will it be?

If you don't mind a spoiler - here are short video clips of the final walk from these collections:

Reco

Daniella

James-Paul

Anna

Also, the eliminated designer will be on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens" show this week along with RHNJ Danielle Staub. Sounds like fun!

Congratulations to Anna and Haven!

Wow, ladies, you really did a bang-up job with your collaboration this week! It was fun to see you work together, as you obviously clicked and things just flowed. All three pieces were fun and fashionable, and the mix of prints with a pop of bright color was really Mizrahi. Anna, your coat was completely stunning, and Haven, your culottes were cute and had a perfect proportion.

Congrats on your win! We're looking for more great things from the both of you.

This post is only for positive words for Anna, Haven, or their work. If you have anything negative to say about them or other designers, please click here.

A Message from Anna

For everyone who liked my coat on Episode 3 of "The Fashion Show":

I did do a coat that is similar in style for my Fall 2009 Miranda Darkling Collection that I am offering for pre-order at 30% off one time only!   

Waki Coat - diamond pattern, black and grey, $490

This coat is an Italian wool, fully lined, and hand-tailored.  If you pre-order, we will charge your credit card when we ship it to you in September, just before it starts to get cold.  Perfect timing! Remember that this coat retails for upwards of $800 so you are getting a deal ladies!  I initially designed it just before I went on the show, wanting to create something that was WARM and gave me practical functions like the hood while still being classically stylish.  Don't worry, your coat will also have zippers in the sleeves ( a show inspired addition) for all of your shoplifting needs!

Just send me an e-mail and I will send you an order form: mirandadarklingATgmailDOTcom

I want to encourage everyone to keep watching!  Despite the inevitable Project Runway comparison, it is a very good show. 

"The Fashion Show" on Bravo, Thursdays at 10pm.   Remember, in the end, America gets to vote on who they think is the best designer, and that designer wins $125,000, which means our fates lie in your hands. 

Keep an eye on my website for updates: www.annamccraney.com

You can download episodes from itunes, and eventually they will put all the episodes up online, so keep an eye out on the Bravo website and vote if you think the Panty Christ shouldn't have won this week!

I know it is so annoying to vote on that system, so I thank everyone who voted last week because ultimately, it was determined that I should have won on Episode 2.  You can also read cast blogs, play some silly game, and watch clips for future episodes on their website.  I would also like to say that Episode 4, coming up, is the first episode after I bought my curling iron, which has changed my life.  

Keep watching! anna mccraney
