'The Fashion Show' Season Finale Spoiler Alert Pt. 1

If you're like me than every Thursday night you're glued in front of your TV watching "The Fashion Show" on Bravo munching on Doritos while Twittering away. (Ok the Doritos are optional but I love those!!) In the beginning, I won't lie, I was quite skeptical of The Fashion Show. I'm a die hard Project Runway devotee and I thought that TFS was just a copycat.

I was wrong...kind of. The premise of the two are the same: 1) wannabe designers compete for money to become real designers, 2) they're judged by fashion forward people (TFS: Isaac & Kelly, though I'm trying to figure out how Kelly Rowland is considered in the fashion world... and in PR it's Heidi and Tim Gunn), and 3) there is a final show where the contestants get to showcase their work before ultimately finding out who wins.

But TFS is different because America will choose who the winner is. Exciting, non??

Even more exciting is the fact that yours truly got to attend the final runway show for TFS!!! I was just excited to be there..probably as excited as last year when I attended the final for Project Runway when Christian won (you can check out that post with pictures here).

On the runway were the last remaining designers from Thursday's episode- Merlin, Reco, Daniella, Johnny R., Anna, and James-Paul. I didn't know what to expect and I went in rooting for Reco all the way. My mind was blown! And not just by Reco (of course) but by other designers who I have already decided wouldn't make it. I think I'm wrong and I'll admit it (hangs head). Each designer presented 10 looks and had to give their take on what inspired them. By the time this airs on July 16^th I think only those remaining will be shown on the last episode...so I'm giving you the insider here! haha so full of myself!

Also this is going to be a multi-part post, primarily because I was going picture crazy and there's so much to tell! I don't want your eyes hurting you while reading haha.

So without further adieu, here is, The Fashion Show (soo trying to be like Isaac here!)
The guest judge for the final show is Betsey Johnson...as in THE Betsey Johnson. I was internally FREAKING OUT because I'm probably Betsey's biggest fan. And I sat four rows behind her. Yup...I'm sooo telling this to my kids and grandkids to come.

(UPDATE):: The guest judge is actually Glenda Bailey Editor in Chief of Harper's Bazaar. Betsey Johnson was just a guest.

So maybe I wasn't only internally freaking out as I Twittered about it. A lot.

Yeah...way to keep your composer, huh??

Kelly Rowland looked fab in a purple dress with tiered ruffles on the bottom and silver straps. Yes, she's just as gorgeous in person as she looks in television.

In attendance were a slew of Bravo TV stars including the cast of Real Housewives of New York AND New Jersey causing the photographers to go NUTS!! As well as the kids of NYC Prep, including Kelli.

Stay tuned for Part 2 and 3!!!
