Hi
Just wondering if anyone knows where Alex's husband, Simon, actually comes from in Australia.

So tired of all of the "Reco Ranters".. had he been the best then.. fine. His models could not even "walk" down the aisle in his clothes. Imagine tripping down the aisle in your wedding gown!! And he and Daniella did nothing but complain the whole season about everyone else, criticize others, and brag about their "greatness" instead of concentrating on the challenges at hand. Anna did that. She kept out of the "drama", she made clothing that many women could and would want to wear, and she kept her creativity.. Isn't THAT what this show was about? It was NOT "Project Runway".. and, I think most of the designers made the mistake of thinking it was..and let their ego get ahead of them... In the end, fashion has to be what real people will wear.....and buy... not fantasy clothing for only the rich, size zero, very young (who can't afford it yet, anyway!).. Fashion needs to promote , more, to the women who work, have jobs, and are not size zero, who actually BUY the clothes?? Anna did that..and in a good way and with grace and dignity.. I hate reading all of the mean comments that focus on the other designers and do not give the winner her credit.. Anna won.. America has voted.. and the rest will still do well with their media and publicity from the show..so, why say negative things/still whine and promote the others?

Uhm Alex, did I just catch sight of you in the movie Hitch?! I swear that was you 1 of the 2 girls Hitch is staring at across the room while they're laughing.

Can you please bring back the Real Housewives of Orange County ?????

I can't handle either New Jersey or New York. Everyone is just too stressed out and psychotic or mafia wannabees on those shows.

The California people were just nice, laid back, enjoying life with their kids and each other and there was no where near the drama as in New Jersey and New York. I loved the weather, the houses, the people. Please bring them back !!!!!!!!

i voted for james-paul too!

his collection was clearly the most innovative. i think people may have been intimidated by the way they were styled... but each of his pieces would've been great as separates paired with basics like t-shirts and jeans or simple pants or skirts. people need to realize that just because some pieces were a bit more complicated than putting on a basic pullover doesn't mean they aren't wearable everyday clothes! there are many japanese designers that create interesting clothes than actually DO come with an instruction card. so what, its not an issue unless you can't read and can't interpret pictures.

i hope james-paul goes on to have a successful and innovative design career. he definitely has the talent.

What are you using to wash your tee-shirt that you can't get rid
of a Koala's smell? Damp or not, they really do not have a strong
odor.

Alex, I agree I would have James-Paul win. I know I'm late reading this, but I voted for James-Paul and I do wish he had won.

I agree with most of your comments except that John Paul garments were great, anyone wearing them would need a dresser with an instruction card (with pictures on how to do it). And even you must have moments as mom of two boys (me too), where the hour you would like to get dressed turns into less than 30 minutes.

So if we all thought James Paul should have won, how did Anna end up with the prize?.....boring...the whole show was a disappointment. I actually liked most of Reco's work throughout the show so I was dissapointed that he was eliminated. Anna's was great fashion but not great runway. Daniella bothered me through out the show and I only thought her runway was okay. None of it wowed me. but I loved, loved, loved her evening grey gown win.

Great insight...you really have a way with words ...opposite of the nastiness that comes out on fern mallis's blog

James Paul was the most innovative

Anna's was the most wearable

Daniella was too 80's to appeal to me. Since my teenage years were in this era, I have no wish to have weird shoulder things...I love DRAPING...great on any woman.

I guess if the assignment had proceeded with a wearabilty clause, I would have understood what the judges were going by, but I admit I was stuck in the project runway mode where the trophy always goes to the most INNOVATIVE never seen before. This show was about wearability but missed that.

If they can only lose Fern Mallis as a judge, it would improve on the show..People came to learn not to be road kill for someone who who thinks she is GOD

I also felt the James-Paul was the most creative and innovative designer. He has a very great future ahead of him.

Make that 3 for James-Paul! His looks translate across all ages, sizes, and cultures. Loved it. And you are my favorite NY housewife too. Love your dignity and sense of style.

I disagree, from the blogs it is obvious that America and you have a completely different taste in fashion. Reco should have stayed. He made clothes for the everyday woman. I can see how someone a size zero like you Alex (luck you) would be okay with taking a fashion risk by wearing James Paul's or Danielle's clothes, but us of average size want to feel sexy and are concerned about shape. Reco's clothes did that for us, we don't feel sexy in potatoe sacks or plastic shoulders.

I agree with you about James-Paul. So innovative. He has a point of view that is expressed in his designs.

I agree. James-Paul is my vote also. I think he has abounding
potential!
