TFS: Daniella's Collection

Moving right along...

We have little to say as a setup here. She was low-key all season and she was low-key in the finale.

Which does bring to mind a question: Why do so many of you dislike her so much? Granted, we really don't want the comments section to turn into nothing but post after post declaring undying hatred, but we don't get it. Sure, she was a little bitchy, but how is that different from any of the other contestants?

We will say this: we weren't all that impressed with this collection in person, but it does photograph pretty well. She said that the inspiration for the collection was medieval and Japanese armor and we guess we can sort of see that.

Let's start the show:

Let's start with this: we absolutely hated the styling here. Having said that, the coat is really nice, but those pants are awful. The fit is embarrassingly bad.

Uhhh...ditto? We almost forgot to include this look because it looks so much like the previous one.

This is okay. We're just not fans of that weird cutout effect she does. And there's major titscrepancy going on here. We realize that was intentional, but it's not an effect we respond well to.

Jesus, those shoes are awful. Anyway, this is nice. The skirt's fairly basic and those shoulder treatments are very on trend right now.

We could actually get behind this look if it wasn't so sloppy looking - and we DON'T think that was intentional. Look at the puckery in that skirt.

No criticisms here. We like this look quite a bit. Again, it's very "right now."

This was probably our favorite look, EXCEPT for that bustier. Isaac praised it to the heavens, but Isaac always was a little stuck in the '90s. Thank god Fern had the balls to say "If I see another leather bustier..."

Still, we love the vest and the pants.

This is another look we like, but this is also another look that could have been fitted much better than this.

Again, it's very much what we're seeing on runways right now. Daniella rightfully prides herself on being the most modern among the finalists, but there's "modern" and then there's "following the latest trends." And again, terrible fit.

The cutouts. We just don't get it. Aside from that, it's a nice dress that fits the model for once.

In the end, it was not our favorite collection but we understand why the judges loved it. It's because she's the only one of the final four who demonstrated a real understanding of what's going on in fashion right now. Now, if we were judges, that would force the question as to whether she can create looks or just follow the trends. Further, she has a real problem with fit and even with execution in some of these looks. She's talented and like all the finalists, she's got the potential for a real future in the industry, but we're not convinced that this is a winning collection.
