i’m not surprised! i was thinking daniel all the way until i saw the last runway show. i was thinking i’d wear most of chloe’s line, and even santino’s. daniel’s didn’t translate onto the telly at all (and the bags were especially hideous for some reason!). anywho happy for chloe - she deserves it.

Chloe is good, but her stuff did not really look very original . Most looked like things other designers have done.I am not very familiar with this show so I am not sure what the objective was, to design for mainstream or the runway?

i can’t believe that chloe won. santino was the obvious winner in the show. he had the nicest stuff, including that last dress and i just love the poncho and the tones and detailing he used. chloe would have been my last pick to win. argh! v disappointing.

I am dissapointed too. Santino was the obvious fashion forward designer. he should have won. But I like Chloe. She was nice. her clothes are wearable but no fashionable.

So happy for Chloe. I like that she has a style consistency to her collection . Santino is good too but it difficult to identify a specific style to his collection.

I wanted Daniel to win but I’m happy Micheal Kors offered him a job. I like some of Santino dresses in the runway but they all looked too high waisted on the models. now Chloe her dresses remind me of Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink very prom 80’s. but she does have the professional attitude to sell dresses. so I’m glad a woman won and she looked damn good in that kewl car.

I’m so happy Cloe won!!!She was my choice from the beginning. I was extremely dissapointed with Daniel’s collection. He was my second choice. Santino did surprise me, but it just wasn’t what he was known for from the judges. Chloe Rocks!!

everyone thinks they’re a critic… no matter how much you think you know, the judges know better. look who chose her? THE supermodel of our time, one of the #1 american fashion designers, the fashion editor of one of the premier magazines in the country, & an extremely stylish actress. they know their stuff. they know best how the industry works, & they chose the best person, whether you liked their choice or not. plus, it’s hard to tell on tv. there are things that they saw that we didn’t.

I’m so glad that chloe won!!! I liked her from day one. I thought Santino was going to win because he had a better collection that tied everything togather, i thought… but he was on the safe side. haha. And Daniel, ugh, all his clothes look already "Banana Republic" ready… Chloe won, i’m happy!

So pissed that Santino didn’t win. He collection was beautiful. I think they picked Chole because they know they can control her. She has talent no doubt, but she shouldn’t have won last night. Santino ROCKS!

Hey Jared–I think the photo is her seven sisters AND her mom (in the purple)…Chloe isn’t in that photo.So glad Chloe won…although I did think Santino redeemed himself only to be told he was playing it safe by Nina in the end? WTF?
