Guest judge Victoria Beckham joined host Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, in judging the collections of five finalists: Kathleen "Sweet P" Vaughn, Chris March, Jillian Lewis, Rami Kashou and Christian Siriano.
Generally speaking, the collections were not in keeping with the mood of disheveled, easy femininity and emphasis on sleek, menswear-inspired tailoring that characterized most of the New York collections this week. Instead, most of the five designers showed overdone show pieces in garish colors and fabrics. Few of the collections felt like coherent, winning statements about the designer's vision and instead seemed to be "made for TV" clothes that seemed to be designed instead to make a splashy impression on camera.
