Feeling Hesitant
Daniella talks about her team's focus and her win.
May 14, 2009Tonight was the Fashion Show and elimination. I have to say, I was feeling really hesitant about our collection because the direction never felt solid. Also, just with seeing yards and yards of hot pinks and purples everywhere, I was nervous about having been too different and too safe. But when we to see it all together and put it all in context, I realized how sophisticated and relevant we had made our line. Looking around the dressing room backstage I felt really nervous – I mean it was the first time I realized that not only was Tinsley Mortimer going to judge our looks and try to know us as designers but that my family would all watch this in anticipation and then watch me win! Truthfully, I was so excited when Isaac, Kelly, Tinsley, and Fern were looking at my work, that I think I blacked out momentarily every time they said my name. It actually took me until we sat down and Anna congratulated me to realize I had won! Anyway so then it’s time for elimination and bringing out Johnny’s dress was a crazy scary twist!! I mean I didn’t even hate Markus' outfit as mush as the judges seemed to but I understood their problems with it. In the end though, they just couldn’t send someone home for poor construction when they're up against a design with such poor judgment.
Just bought your sheer jacket with the Blue neck piece. Hope it looks as good as it did on the site. Really looking forward to getting it. What would you suggest wearing under it for a casual look with Jeans? Thanks.
I've watched just about every reality show there is. so I feel qualified to give you one crucial piece of advice: FOCUS. Don't let petty sniping sidetrack you- if you possibly can, stay close to the designers with the best sewing skills and attitude. Your style is edgy, yet tasteful and skillfully made and VERY commercial! You make clothes that sell, and that's the most important criteria of all.Stay with it.
Daniella your designs are modern, trendy and really beautifully made. The show is about creating beautiful garments that can be sold in retail stores and worn by real people and you achieve an A+ for yours.
I love your perspective and I can completely relate. I am from Kenya and am inspired by the rock-chic look as well. I find that being from another continent let alone country gives us an advantage. We ultimately have two whole complete cultures that we can pull from and that are authentically us. Keep up the good work!!!
I loved your jumpsuit, Shame Shame on Bravo for pricing it for $119.00 when you made the whole outfit for $40.00
