Update: Can you tell which dress belongs to which designer? Case in point.
I don’t really want to get into it too much, and I never really thought that I would say this, but I really feel that Santinogot shafted last night. As much as I didn’t like his personality and as much as he deserved to get kicked off during the “Design for a Designer show”, he had the best collection out of the three finalists on the Runway. Chloe, who’s definitely a doll, isn’t cut out to be world-renown because she designs too conservativly and has a hard time thinking outside the box. Her collection was too simple and as Heidi put it surprisingly well, “too matchy-matchy”, I think her choice of fabric was very weak as well. Daniel’s performance was mediocre, and I think that he was a bit overconfident in his abilities. True, Santino did tone it down a bit from his “Phoenix rising out of the Ice” days, but it was a well rounded collection with a few good pieces, and on the whole much stronger than the other two.

Don’t get me wrong, Chloe is a hard worker and deserves the money just as much, if not more than the other two. However, she didn’t have the strongest collection, although the babydoll dress that her and Diana designed is actually quite nice, and that should be the basis of the decision. Anyhow, here is the link to her store, hopefully she will be able to capitalize on her 15 minutes and make it last her a long long time.

Also, check out Santino’s Blog, he’s certainly going to try and make the most out of his publicity.

Here is Daniel’s site , nothing here yet but maybe soon.

Last, the runner up to the finale, Janx.

PS If any of you designers are reading this, STOP MAKING FLASH INTROS TO YOUR WEBSITE!
