The Fashion Show

 

by Allie Giffes

On this episode of The Fashion Show: Ultimate Collection, the designers travel to the divinely elegant "Danielle" restaurant to meet up with Isaac. Their challenge this week is to design a gown that'd be appropriate for a "high society charity ballroom" event. Sounds kind of uneventful, right? That's because the twist is that the contestants will be designing for none other than the Real Housewives of Orange County and New Jersey! Jeffrey says it best, "these are women who know what they want, and get what they want."


The House of Nami will be working with the Housewives of New Jersey, and the House of Emerald will be working with the Housewives of Orange County. Each designer meets with their chosen client to start constructing their gala-worthy gowns. The true test of this challenge is that the designers must fulfill a real clients' wants and needs as opposed to just designing with no boundaries except for having to fit a specific model's measurements.

 

During the design process, tensions rise between David and Dominique. After last week's episode and David's hesitation in front of the judge's panel, we can't really be too surprised. Unfortunately, the stress of their relationship (or whatever you'd like to call it) may be causing Dominique to crack under pressure.

 

The Housewives arrive at the studio for their fittings and the designers are all clearly nervous. At first, Jeffrey struggles with his client, but he should know that the Housewives are all about cleavage! A few snips of fabric and all is right with the world. Meanwhile the Housewives of New Jersey are strong critics of Nami's work - particularly David, whose design is a total disaster. The green fabric he chose makes his housewife look like Kermit!

 

Emerald hits the runway, and their collection is elegant, beautiful AND cohesive. The Housewives of Orange County absolutely rocked the dresses that were designed for them. Nami's runway show is entertaining and flashy, and their dark, sultry colors really prove to be more beautiful than they expected them to be.

 

The judges critique Emerald's dresses first, asking each of the women what they thought of the designs. Fortunately, most of the Orange County housewives are pleased; but that doesn't mean the judges are - specifically with Golnessa's dress. Nami faces the judges next, and they actually end up loving David's previously disastrous dress.

 

This week, Nami steals back their winning title - meaning David and Dominique are both safe despite their fears of almost certain elimination. And... Eduardo walks away with his third overall winning design!

 

This week, Golnessa is out of fashion - and we can't be too shocked considering she struggled through the past few competitions. More importantly - I wonder what her housewife thinks about having the losing dress! Eek.
