#FashionStar Week 8 -“Men & Women, Bridging the Gender Gap”

Wfeaturedimage

It starts becoming a bit obvious how "show politics" come into play….. Since, every mentor STILL has at least 1 Designer on their team.  This week they had to design a Men's & Women's piece that were complimentary to one another. Daniel - sold to Express both designs….Men's denim jacket @75k AND his bustier style Women's denim romper @125k, which I hesitantly decided to buy (in 2 sizes).  I absolutely love it!  Now, I'm the opposite of his typical tall twiggy client.  It's rare I … [read more]

For the 3 who didn't listen to the Buyers this week during their 1 on 1…  Goose Eggs! Boy Daniel Still designing for 'Twiggy Couture'… and if Jessica Simpson can't fasten that little jacket across her boobies, welllllll fogetaboutit!    Maaaybe he should think about getting himself a new adjustable size 6-12  Model Form, and put the size 2 over in the corner for a bow tie display.  Ding!Ding!Ding!  Must have missed the part that Express said: "Accommodate women in a wide variety of … [read more]

#FashionStar Week 3 “Size Doesn’t Matter”

Fashion Star Something for Everyone Get Glue Sticker

I am totally shocked that David was axed vs. Priscilla!  I really liked the convertible cardigan and so would my son.  It was so PERFECT for EXPRESS!  Since a good chunk of their merchandise IS fitted, this was a great chance for them to get a product in the door and sell it to a guy that is typically a Large or XL who would then have an option for a next bigger size if it was too fitted.  Hence... even if David didn't get bought by anyone again, his designs are good! Priscilla hands down … [read more]

Fashion Star Season 2 Get Glue Sticker Featured Image

Well this Fashion Junkie had more fun gambling on Debut purchases than I probably ever would at the Casino! I really like the team format this season and I think it would be great fun to get a little team bidding going on!  I am sad that Brett was already eliminated.  I was sure looking forward to some great Men's designs!  Too bad he was out of the gate with Women's, although I need to get those black skinny pants with the zips! Interesting how Jessica has a designer duo on her team, … [read more]

I'm Giddy with excitement for the 2nd Season of NBC's Fashion Star! Having Express on board will be a great change-up (Although I do love H&M as well). I have numerous favorites in my closet. Macy's I will always have a soft spot for. My first 10 yrs in L.A. they got a big chunk of my salary! Saks always has phenomenal Luxe items - I have to restrain myself for sure. But, I do hope to pick up at least 1 great item this season. I'm looking so forward to contributing to … [read more]

In the past I have only made posts listing my favorite designs but I have noticed that people are interested in a recap of the show because they weren't able to stay up for the entire thing, so HERE IT IS! During Fashion Star Season 1 Episode 7 the first showcase was with Ross and Kara. During this episode, the mentors worked more closely with the designers including shopping with them for fabric. Ross was challenged to make a flowy dress and Kara was challenged to make a women's suit. … [read more]

Please tell me your thoughts. What do you think of this show? What do you wish would have been purchased? My only criticism applies to the entire fashion industry - I don't think that those of us who are larger than a size 12 should be segregated. Here are my picks this week from the items that were purchased:   Source: hmfashionstar.com via Liz on Pinterest Source: social.macys.com via Liz on Pinterest Source: saksfifthavenue.com via Liz on … [read more]
