The adorable Erika Stanley of SNOB Style and SeenON! recently connected to chat about episode 4 of Bravo’s The Fashion Show, what it takes to make it in this cutthroat business, and, of course, shoes!
SO!: This week, the contestants finally broke out of their groups and competed as individual designers. Were you as impressed as the judges with the results?
ES: I was! We saw a lot of organic designs and it almost felt like a completely different show. I think the top two designs from this week’s challenge came from Reco and Angel - they were both very sellable. I love that Angel put a completely new twist on the shirt dress and told a story. Her design was pretty well-executed and showcased how to wear the white shirt many different ways. Hers was definitely my favorite.

Today, SeenON! sat down to chat with designer Andrew Christian from The Fashion Show. In last night’s elimination, the judges just weren’t buying Andrew’s shoe challenge runway piece - but he’s not going to let that stop him! Andrew, better known as the “Panty-Christ”, already has a successful underwear line under his belt and stays optimistic about a bright future in fashion.
SO!: This is the first week we see the designers break out of their groups as Isaac Mizrahi announces that “from here on out [the designers] will be competing as individuals.” What did you like and not like about how the competition changed?
AC: I liked being on my own and not having to compromise my design for the other contestants. What I didn’t like is the cattiness that came out in people once they were working by themselves!
