Ripping the Collections: Kara, Part Two

This is just gorgeous. Once again, Kara pairs two colors to great effect. And once again, she manages to achieve a look that we would normally hate – a bubble skirt over pants – and have it look chic and cute.   On the other hand… No. Sorry, no. These two queens have...

Darlings, now comes the time when we examine the great tragedy of season 2: Kara Janx’s decoy collection. Why a tragedy? Because if she’d still been in the game, we’re firmly convinced this collection would have garnered her the win. Put bluntly, it blew the other...

Ripping the Collections: Chloe, Part Two

The good news: We almost-love everything in the second half of her collection! Tha bad news: That means this is going to be a really boring post! Gorgeous. Our second-favorite look in the whole collection. Love the lace peeking out from the hem, the unusually placed seams, the keyhole, the...

Ripping the Collections: Santino, Part One

We’re not entirely of one mind on Santino’s collection. Picking “old Hollywood” as a theme wasn’t the most interesting crayon in the box, but Tom liked the “boudoir photography” aspect of it. In what may have been a fit of self-conscious irony, he...

Ripping the Collections: Daniel, Part Two

As manipulative and cruel as the “13th look” was, Daniel should have kissed a couple producers for coming up with it. Maybe he works better under stress, because this? Best thing in the whole collection. Cute and flirty and sporty, which from our perspective is exactly what Daniel...

Ripping the Collections: Daniel, Part One

Oh, how we have backed and forthed on this collection, darlings. Depending on our mood, the lighting, or the alignment of the planets, our opinion keeps changing on this one. On the one hand, it’s a pretty good summation of Daniel’s aesthetic and he clearly loves to do sportswear;...
