‘The Fashion Show’ has finally come to an end this season and at long last a winner was announced. Anna McCraney is the one who takes home $125,000 and gets bragging rights to winning season 1 of TFS. Issac Mizrahi and Kelli Rowland hosted the reunion/finale and awarded Daniella the judges award of $10,000. James Paul, who is crazy talented (and often off on his own in outer space) left empty handed.

McCraney has solid retail friendly designs unlike James Paul and Daniella just needs a bit more time to mature into her own consistent style. McCraney is living in Brooklyn and teaching Fashion Merchandising at Wood Tobe-Coburn. She plans on launching her own line.

Bravo TV has put a lot of time and promotion into ‘The Fashion Show’ as they’ve lost ‘Project Runway’ to Lifetime Network however it’s just not pulling in the audience the way PRun does. It is focusing on clothing that consumers can buy as opposed to more fashion forward themes and I think it loses the fantasy and simply isn’t as interesting. The weekly competitions were too similar – essentially all were “make something we can sell on Bravo TV. ” If season 2 returns, look for some major changes – to the challenges themselves and probably the format.
