I won! Well, Haven and I both won which is just as good because we worked really well together, and it proves that I have the ability to not only collaborate with other designers, but design with someone else’s vision in mind. I absolutely loved the mood we were working with which helped and because I was working with Haven, we both took risks with our colors and patterns and it totally paid off. I was thrilled that Isaac liked it and really proud of myself that I was able to execute the jacket I made because it was unlike anything I have ever draped or drafted on my own before. The necklace was a take on a breastplate design I worked into a piece in my Fall 09 collection for Miranda Darkling and I thought it was very successful, not to mention I am sure that Fern wanted it. I love Fern. Haven said some of the nicest things about me to the judges today and I am forever loyal to her. She is a real friend for sure. I felt bad for Daniella and Reco because I did like their piece. I was sure that either Lydia or James-Paul would go home! From here on out I have to really try to do my best work so I can get to the finals. Although I walked into this competition with an open mind and no expectations I really think I have a good shot at getting pretty far. Whatever happens, I have already gotten a lot out of this experience and I want to continue so I can make the most of what it has to offer.

Even if it is your idea, "already done" comes to mind. Sorry. Was a big fan. -Viewer

: 06/19/2009 - 1:58pm; Viewer; Anna, you are my favorite designer in this competition! You keep control of yourself and never get too cocky like "some people". Plus, your clothes are awesome! Keep it up!

Your professionalism really shows in your demeanor and your work ethic is very modest, but the clothes you produce speak for themselves! You and Haven did a wonderful job, your design was lovely.
