The Fashion Show Finale

Expert panelist Erika Stanley has been a true style staple throughout our exclusive coverage of The Fashion Show. Week after week, we’ve called on her expert opinion to help us break down the drama, commentary and couture of each episode. Thus, you can probably understand why it saddens us to part (if only momentarily) with this chic investment. Read on to hear style expert Erika Stanley’s final thoughts on America’s vote and The Fashion Show season finale.  

SO!: Were you surprised by anything any of contestants said during the reunion show?

I wasn’t surprised by anything said, but I was happy that Andrew spoke up and voiced how he felt about the elimination the week he was sent home.  His dress, design and construction was much better than the dress that wasn’t eliminated on the chopping block, and I felt that it was important for him to get that off his chest and confront the judges with his thoughts.  And I couldn’t possibly be surprised by anything Merlin said, because, like Isaac, I don’t understand a word he says!

SeenON! caught up with designer James-Paul Ancheta last week to talk The Fashion Show finale! Ultimately, America just wasn’t buying James-Paul’s final collection, as he received the least amount of votes among the final three designers. But he’s not going to let a third place finish get him down. Read on to hear James-Paul stand by his work and capture the show experience as he saw it.

SO!: Did you agree with the final three? Who else do you think should have had the chance to be voted on by America?

I agreed with the final three. It represented different markets and demographics in fashion. However, I do not think that the voting strategy was aimed to cover all three.  I think the final four should have been voted on by the public.  It created a false hope for one of the contestants and it was a tragic feeling for him.

This morning, SeenON! sat down to chat with Reco from The Fashion Show to get all the details about last week’s elimination and his final collection. Read on to see what the king of “runway sexy” had to say about who he hopes to dress in the future, his predictions for the winner and his success since the show.

SO!: The judges critiqued all the designers’ collections for flaws like over-complexity and fit. So why do you think you were ultimately chosen to be eliminated over the other designers?

I told James-Paul that it was going to be me. I was the fan favorite and I just knew that I was going to be eliminated. But I gave 110 percent - I gave it my all.

We just wrapped up our interview about The Fashion Show finale with incomparable fashion expert Erika Stanley of SNOB Style. The hot topics of discussion? Anna, Daniella, Reco and James-Paul, of course! Read on to see what she had to say about their final collections, and even find out who she voted for…

SO!: In the elimination last night, the designers were critiqued for various mistakes in their collections. Among these were over-complexity, fit, lack of hanger appeal and discontinuity. Which of these errors do you think is the most unforgivable?

Either fit or hanger appeal. No matter how beautiful a piece is, no one is going to buy it if it doesn’t fit right. The line’s not going to sell to consumers, and the buyers just aren’t going to buy it. Take jeans, for example. A lot of people are dropping money on designer jeans because they fit so well.
