Last night on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Lisa Wu Hartwell unveiled her clothing line, Closet Freak, to the Atlanta elite. NeNe's gay sidekick Dwight rated it somewhere between busted and hell to the no. It's not the first time Dwight's been judgy about an ATL wife's clothing line - last season he was equally unimpressed with Sheree Whitfield's freshman fashion effort, She by Sheree.
So we know Dwight's not easily impressed. What did you think? Which line would YOU wear: She by Sheree or Closet Freak? Cast your vote and sound off in the comments below!
I would really appreciate if people would stop being so hateful.
Both these women are trying and ofcourse people are entitled to their own opinion but please, is it so painful to be nice or even a little bit respectful.I love those women and would be honored to meet them.
I would like to be one of the housewives,but,since I cannot be I am offering to help whichever one woulld have me ,help them to launch a clothing line to shut you all the hell up.
Ladies if you read this ,shoot me an e-mail I will direct you to my website and we take it from there.
I am a fashion Designer/Seamstress and will give you 100%.
I love you girls.Keep up the good work.
Maybe if some of these people had work to do,they would spend less time pulling you beautiful ladies down.
Oh !they should start their own oblivious show.I will give the ladies the honour of naming the show for you haters.
How can you judge Sheree clothing based in drawings, its ugly and updted based on them. Lisa has nice pieces but you are better of wearing it in the corner to make some money. Dwight was right, he is not a hatter. Lisa has no fashion sense, she always look bad.
I don't think Lisa nor Sheree have any fashion sense at all. Who is going to wear this crap? It is time that fashion be for all women, not just the skinny or the hip-hop. Let's have something for everyone. By the way, I think NeNe and Kandi are the best "housewives" of Atlanta.
I personally did not like Closet Freak. There were a couple of pieces that were cute and trendy. I also was a little disappointed in She by Sheree. I expected more from Sheree since she had more time to develop her line. Did they show everyting from her collection line, because I only saw a few pieces. Both lines look cheap. However, I must give both ladies kudos for trying to fulfill a dream. I think that Sheree has more potential, and if she plans to stay in the game she needs to study fashion.
I really think that if anyone would be successful in starting
a clothing line it would be kim.
they both high maintenace girls both of them are fashionable and have different details, colors and styles but i dont know if there're my taste its too young for me even though im in my late 30s I quess i can mix them both up and have my own CeCee style

I dont like either of there collections. Lisa's clothes look like there made from home. I mean really look at the jump suit she was wearing. That shit had all that black mess hanging from it.. Lisa stick to real astate cause fashion is not for you.
Both collections are decent. They are not Like high fashions that you would see by designer's like Armani,Eve St.Lurent's or Gucci, but they are both wearable. I will not comment on these ladies character at this time, just wish they were nicer to each other.

I will take sheree seriously when she stops saying "aks" instead of "asks"
Lisa wins by attrition.
i love da way kim and nene be acting out what i like to see more is sheree and kim fighting dats a bad bitch
My name is Eliane, I am French and living in Atlanta for almost 10 Years, to be honest, Lisa or Sheree, have nothing to do with Fashion, and please all those Women's are not reflected the REAL HOUSEWIFE in Atlanta.
I am on Beauty and Fashion business for almost 28 Years, and is terrible to make peoples coming for those BAD collection's.
Please, REALITY SHOW, Is what the people whant !!!!
I think that both ladies have a great deal of potential and very talented,but both really need some improvement on their fashion line.I think that Lisa needs to do a little more homework in fashion before she consider doing another show.I also see that sheree has a very strong drive for this whole fashion thing which is a very good thing ,I do believe that sheree could pull this off if she can find sources that are professionals!Sheree I can see myself wearing your fashionswear,but you need to step it up some.Good Luck!
I viewed both ladies' fashions and each had a couple of pieces that I MIGHT consider buying,However... Dwight was correct in his criticisms of the tailoring of the clothes but perhaps he should have let things settle and approached her with his thoughts, suggestions, offers of help.. later, like the next day. She by Sheree....uhhh I think that Sheree's attitude affects the way i view anything she does. She was definately jealous of Lisa'a show and made that lame attempt at showing up just to get camera time. Sheree is attempting to resurrect her name/image and its not going well. Her name just may be 'burnt' in the industry. Who gone check her boo?
I personally think lisa has the personality, Sheree really may have the drive for designing but attitude matters to people. I believe she deliberatly did not show up to lisa's show, because of jealousy. This is your friend she has come to many of your parties and functions and you should have been there. Lisa, will succeed because of her right kind of attitude not because she is so gifted but she is a go getter and has the personality to go with it. Sheree has got to work on that attitude, you can be a (diva) but you still have to know how to treat people who will be intrested in your clothing line. Who would purchase something from someone who has a nasty attitude. They won't.
O yeah, Pam you are pretty much on point with your comments. However, I will say if Kim wants to have her girls (breasts) hanging out, then let her. I think she dresses cute and looks nice.
Lets get it straight, Closet Freak is not Lisa's line. She was not even sure if the materials used were the items she had picked. Lisa is all over the place and wasted money on this Closet Freak fashion party. She has the attitude "Anything you can do, I can do better". She suggested to Sheree that she can help her plan her show, meanwhile it looks like Closet Freak was shown in a basement.
Sheree is on the right track, and she even have the haters following her to prove it. When you read comments about her attitude, but not about her fashion then you know you have stuck jealousy in people.
At the end of the day these ladies "Fashion Lines" will probably fade out as they will once this show is over.
Lisa, Dwight told you the truth. I am not a Dwight fan at all! But, he hit the nail on the head. Not everybody is hating you. If you are a real businesswoman, she should be able take criticism. Your fashion show needed much work. Meditate some more on your line. Sheree, You got taste and style, but your attitude is destroying your line. What is it that you are trying to say with your clothing. Let it speak for itself.
I have viewed both Closet Freak and She by Sheree. Both lines are nice but I feel Lisa's line is more fun. She uses different colors and prints. Sheree has more classic pieces which are nice too. They are both great in there own way; it depends on the buyers personality.
I believe that Sheree has more of a vision for what she wants in her line than Lisa. In series 1 Sheree was very much into her designs. Lisa in the new series just gave her suggestions to her designer. My question is how can you call yourself a designer when you don't even have a full vision of how you want each garment to look like. Sheree looks like she's going in the right direction but she needs improvement. Alot of Sheree designs are already in the fashion lime light. People are looking for a new look not the same old look. Be encouraged Sheree!! Lisa stick to the area you are gifted in; being a designer is not one of them.
Hi Sunshine- Thanks for noticing my comment about the ladies. I am watching the same show that you claim to be watching. I have watched every episode, so I am confident in my evaluation of each one. They all have their positive qualities as well as their "needs to improve". What I said about each lady is my opinion. You and I are probably in a different age bracket therefore our perspective and appreciation for each individual differs. You may ask how do I know that we are not the same age....well, your writing and grammar gives you away......PROOF READ NEXT TIME AND PLEASE STAY IN SCHOOL!!!!
"Now who gone check me boo"?
I love lisa her clothing line and her attitude. Lisa is a go getter and she worked hard to get her clothing line and much more so sheree can kick rocks her attitude is just stank she needs to really grow the hell up and get some business bout her self. But Lisa keep doing yo thang and live life to the fulliest and don't let Mrs.Hating sheree get in yo way u better than that gurl. Greenville,SC
I believe that Closet Freak is the most wearable line.. She by Sheree was a little too revealing for me, and some of the outfits made me go O_o?? I dont know what to say about it but i would most likely by Closet freak.. Its really cute/classy
There wasn't one item in the She' By Sheree' collection that turned me off, Closet Freak is cute, but there were a few things that made me question Lisa's sense of style. I love Lisa to death, but not everything in her show was decent.
I like the closet freak look, it is classy and has an edge. Overall both clothing lines have a unique look, but style is in the eye of the beholder.
If Sheree wants her line to sell she really needs to start conducting herself as a lady! a real women would not say some of the things that she says, as it is unbecoming of a women to have a profane vocabulary. She is beautiful and should conduct herself as such! I was a fan in the first season, but season two changed my opinion of her.
Both women should support the others line, ladies that is why we have such a bad reputation....not supporting one another. The clothing lines should not be a competition, they are two different styles. Support and be supported!
Pam what show have you bee watching
If you check into Lisa she is a Broker and she does sell homes. Didnt you see her sell a home to one of the largest Rap Producers.
She had a baby clothing line way before Sheree thought doing a clothing line. Her baby clothing line has been available.
She decided to start Closet Freak and accomplished that so what has she started and havent finished. Oh yeah she also have a Jewlery line that is in some stores. YOu didnt see that on the last Episode.
Sheree is the trouble maker, she was the one that told Lisa Kim was talking about her. She also told NeNe that Kim was talking about her.
What have you seen Lisa do that make her the trouble maker. She went to Kim and told her what she felt.
So Lisa keep up the good work. NeNe be you. Kim and Sheree I guess you will continue to lie for attention. Neither of you are even housewives.
I think both ladies have good taste. I think Sheree clothing is a little classy and a little too revealing. Majority of Sheree photos were cut off, but there were some nice pieces that i would actually wear. However, Lisa's clothing has a mixture of youth and classiness which i believe will be a big seller. I respect Lisa the most because she is very focused and she allows her action to speak louder than her words.
I believe that both women have some pieces that would appeal to many women and then there are a few that are questionable. I believe that the success of either of these fashion lines will depend greatly on the personality of the individual. On one hand, you have Lisa who is a go getter and works hard for what she wants. There are no excuses with her if things don't go exactly as planned. Instead, she does what it takes to get the results she wants and at the same time gives credit where and when credit is due. On the other hand, you have Sheree who expects to START at the top instead of working her way to the top with help from others along the way. Her focus is on what type of car she will arrive in and what pieces of Tiffany jewelry she can be "adorned" with instead of concerning herself with having a finished product to show potential buyers. Sheree constantly speaks about how "classy" she is, however, her not showing up for Lisa'a event until the end and dressed in some everyday jeans and a tank top truly spoke volumes about the amount of class she actually has.
I dont think either of the collections are that great, but I will say that Sheree's models looked better. I think Lisa had a few original pieces that you would not find in forever 21 or charlotte russe, with a little refining, they could be great. I love fashion, love love love, project runway, and those gusy are designers..well most of them anyway. Just because you cant sew or sketch is one thing, but re-creating things that are already "done" doesnt mean anything either. We you do have the combo of both...good luck.
personally, I feel that if Sheree knew her son was having a concert, she knew this some day before the fashion show. If she was a true friend to Lisa, she would have pick up the phone and called Lisa to let her know she was not going to be able to attend. That's my take what is yours?
PS: Just viewed "she-by-sheree's" clothing line (from Bravo's pics) and I actually have to say that I liked it. Now if she changes her funky attitude I will probably buy.
Lisa, you were known on the first season as the Peace Maker, but I think you really are the Trouble Maker. Also, slow down, you need to focus on one thing at a time, you are a Jack of All Trades and the Master of none. You know just enough about everything to be dangerous.
Nene, you were so much fun last season and I think most fans of the show favored you. What happened? You have become the bully of the show, to bad.
Kim, please stop smoking and cover your girls (breast) up.
Good luck on your wig line and the music. You can do it!
Sheree, you should use your real name for your clothing line. Your name is pretty and catchy! You are this seasons favorite!
"Now who gone check me boo"?
Kim has better taste in fashion then any of the housewives an why NeNe calls Candy getto she's the most real.Lisa has three kids where are all the kids?She has to be on some kind meds.to do everything she does an there's nothing wrong with that but,don't judge.NeNe sweety your not a size 8,10,12,14 so just tell the truth you still look good.
I already made a commment, but I want to say Ms. Chinemo makes a very good point. I think Sheree has potential. She needs to study other fashion lines. I can see where she is trying to go, she need to fine tune her clothing line as far as the concept(make sure everything flows together). I think everyone needs to stop worry about if she real or not. Most artist are not very nice people. Her personality has nothing to do with her creativity.
Just viewed the pics of Sherees line and as far as a fashion show, Sheree is much more talented, more artistic, stronger vision. The fashion show is a show,,,then the clothes are toned down, so to speak, for the department stores. Lisa's show was more common,,,more like clothes were stripped from a dept store manequin. I like Lisa's idea, her concept and drive-line and presentation just needs some tweeking and additional work. Sheree obviously has a vision---she just needs slot of work on herself. It seems more about her than the passion of wanting to dress women. Thumbs up for Sheree's fashion show.
I can't actually vote because Sheree doesn't have a line. Her original sketches were kind of granny looking. Her newer sketches look more stylish and up to date. Overall, Sheree's new concepts look more high fashion than the old ones. Lisa's line is very hip, trendy and youthful. I'm a bit too mature to wear much of her line, but I liked what I saw for the most part. A few of the outfits should have been held back due to bad fabric choices and low quality construction. I also think, that Lisa's designer could have used more hot accessories, jewelry and better shoes to make the fashions pop more on the runway. Overall, Lisa and her designer have some really cute ideas. In my opinion, both lines have the potential to be successful. Good luck to both Lisa and Sheree.
I have only seen Sheree sketches and they appear to be appealing. I feel she knows what direction she want her line to go. Until, she has a show or aleast produce some pieces. Her line is just an and afterthough. I give Lisa credit for taking this platform(the show) to gain a customer base. I wasn't impressed with the clothes, I saw. I feel it was just put together, so she can say that she better than Sheree. I don't like that Lisa contradicts herself by stating that she is a designer when she isn't. Up until this present episode, she kept comparing herself to Sheree. Like Puffy said I don't write rythmes, I write checks. It's nothing wrong with being the producer, just keep it real! I think Lisa is good at starting up project, but not at following through with them. She is has many half done projects. I think Lisa and Sheree should join forces, 2 heads are better than one. It's enough to go around.
i think there are pieces from both collections that are nice. i don't know if i would wear them, but i liked them. i love, love, love lisa, but i did like a couple more designs from sheree's line. i love lisa's personality! there is room for both ladies to be designers, so sheree doesn't need to be ugly about lisa launching her line. love the show!!
I think i will wear Lisa clothes.
Hello ,
All I have to say is it's two black women trying to do something positive. And make a living to help support their family. You can't knock them for trying. There are some women who don't try to do anything but rely on men . I just wish them both well and any other woman who is out their trying to get ahead the right way and being an example to other little girls and woman for that matter. And by the way I would buy at least one piece from each collection.
Not sure I would buy either. However, if forced to choose, I would buy Lisa's way before even considering Sheree's. She by Sheree would leave me feeling a bit "exposed." Is she selling fashions or lingerie. Think about it.
i would wear lisa's line b/c it is wearable and cute.. it wasnt to much. she did a great job in a few months time. and not only that she said it was going to be affordable and that is what we need rite now. however i cant compare it to sheree's line b/c sheree doesnt have 1, simple as that. she had what i had in high school pictures of clothes she would like to put out there. no actual product sooooo, on that note sheree needs to stop talkin and start walkin......
I would wear she by sheree.Sheree made the clothing line sound like it was going to be very upscale, but from what the pictures show it could be a brand sold in Macy's. Closet Freak is more of a club wear line due to the pieces released in the fashion show.
Uhh, when did Sheree have a line??
How can you decide?? Nobody has seen She by Shree!!! I hear all this talk about it but have yet to SEE it....
I like Lisa clothing line because it looks something out of the ordinary, original. I would not mind wearing her clothing, only if it was church wearing clothing, maybe she should design something of that nature. Sheree needs to really look more deeper into what she wants to do because her clothing looks just like everyone elses out there in stores now. Nothing caught my eye to just say oh I would love that. The way she acts so diva like, I really thought her clothing would be just like "BAM". But its like a deflated balloon.
I wouldn't wear either line of clothing. I understand that Lisa is business minded and likes to make money but I'm under the assumption that she launched her line and had a fashion show so quickly to prove a point that it doesn't take rocket science to launch a clothing line. Wearing fashionable clothing does not constitute a designer. There is more to being a designer besides sketching,and sewing. These ladies would have been better of consulting with professionals like Mychael Knight as Sheree attempted to do. Sheree's line looks like a bunch of fabric from the fabric store draped on models. And her demands of wearing Tiffany's jewelry and arriving in a Maybach were ridiculous! Come on boo you are not Michael Kors or even Kimora Lee Simmons.
I like the look of she by sheree it's ok. I would wear Lisa's Closet Freak her clothes choices are very cool and hip.
