Do you love The Fashion Show designers enough to follow them on Twitter? Here are a few of the characters from the show. If you as me, @RecoChapple is definitely worth following!
@MerlinCastell - Merlin. And one giant commercial for the show.
@keithlissner - Keith. He also actually tweets and is far more entertaining than he was on the show.
If someone knows James-Paul’s twitter, please let me know! I think he’d be worth following. And remember you can follow me @samcab for gobs of fashion news, trends and alerts sent straight to you.
The Fashion Show will air tonight. With six designers left things are getting intense, but the fashion isn’t quite as interesting as I’d like, so we’ll see what’s left in their tank as the finale is right around the corner. In case you missed it, check out @Yuliz’s tweeting about The Fashion Show finale which was taped last Friday.
Haven may have gone home during week 8 of The Fashion Show, but I’m sad to see her model go with her. She’s one of my favorites because of one reason - her hair! The straight, blunt bangs and swingy long hair is crazy flattering and fashion forward without being over the top.

Notice how most week’s this model’s hair is never styled in some fancy way. It’s just lustrous and gorgeous and the perfect finish to all of her looks. I had this haircut for about four months last year, and while it did require blow drying every time I washed it, it was fairly easy to maintain. One of my favorite things was that if I threw my hair into a low bun, it didn’t look like I was about to wash my face because I had the chic bangs! Check out style-seeker.tresemme.com for fantastic tips on achieving many of the hairstyles featured on The Fashion Show.
It’s week 8 and honestly, I expected more by now. I love fashion, but the fashion-designer-reality-shows never hold me for long. They’re over edited, uninspiring and the challenges are staler than last week’s bread. That said, the show must go on! Last week we said goodbye to Lidia and it was about time. She didn’t have the creativity or the skills to keep up with people like Reco or Daniella, who we know will make it to the finals.

The Mini Challenge
Laura Brown of Harper’s Bazaar pops up for the mini challenge. Isaac tells the designers that there are seven fashion houses that have truly enhanced where fashion is today. The designers will undergo a quiz on fashion history. This worries Reco who is all self-taught and says he doesn’t know his fashion history.
Isaac starts the quiz and it’s multiple choice! Alright, well that makes it far easier from the get-go. After questions on the little black dress and the famous YSL quote, “Fashion fades, style is eternal,” Anna wins the challenge and gets an advantage in the elimination challenge. Isaac tells the designers to meet him at The Fashion Show runway for more info on the next challenge.
This just in! Rachel Zoe sent out a tweet linking to her website, which is in the works. According to the site, signing up for The Zoe Report will deliver “fashion, beauty and lifestyle finds.” Interesting or boring? We love Rach as much as the next gal, but what really love is seeing her at work amongst the designers and fashion madness, not recommending a $75 candle to us.
Ahhh! As if we didn’t love the 60 Minutes interview with Anna Wintour, The September Issue is going to give us a deeper look at the world of Vogue and what it’s like to be Anna. Or to be ridiculed by her. This preview shows Anna telling Oscar de la Renta that she wouldn’t show certain pieces in his runway show because other pieces were more exciting. Ouch! If she’s this brutal with a fashion legend, I can only imagine the words she has for less-established designers.
Singer Estelle decided to pay tribute to Michael Jackson in a little more blatant fashion than Ciara. Donning a white glove to the BET Awards last night, was the singer making a heartfelt tribute or a tacky statement? I think it was a little too soon to bust out a white glove. What do you think?
Last night’s BET Awards paid homage to Michael Jackson, who passed away Thursday night. It was an emotional night with tributes all around, including the fashion. I think singer Ciara did it best with her bedazzled military jacket that Michael would have been proud of.
Designer Diane Von Furstenburg was the queen of the ’70s. Between hanging out with Warhol and company at Studio 54, she was also good friends with Diana Ross when she was filming The Wiz and first met Michael Jackson. Diane also attended Elizabeth Taylor’s wedding held at Michael’s Neverland Ranch.

Today, the designer wrote on her blog that while Michael and her never spoke, she saw him “from afar with tenderness and respect.” I think we all feel the same way.
First Lady Michelle Obama will celebrate the 10th annual National Design Awards on July 24th. This year, a new and exciting twist to the awards is that recipients will participate in discussions that are free to the public. Among this year’s winners are Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa and interior designer Calvin Tsao. Launched in 2000, the awards are presented by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
