Daniel was another designer who wisely chose not to use any denim in the design, although this outfit was in dire need of a splash of color. Walking down the runway, she looked like a film negative.
There's not much to say about this one. Design-wise, it's solid. Simple, but solid. It's also to Daniel's credit that you'd never really know that top used to be a scarf or the skirt used to be a jacket.
Unfortunately, the fit on both is poor. It's pretty bad when your skirt makes your model look like she has an erection.
Ah, so that's where the jeans went. He stuffed them in the ass. Seriously, what the hell? Why does her butt look so huge?
Say what you will about Diana, the girl definitely has a point of view.
It's not that we love the Spider-woman look, but it is striking and it moved beautifully on the runway. Could have done without the little fez-like hat, though.
HATE the bust on this thing. We can't help thinking that this would have worked better with just a little bit of editing. That weird...thing tied to the bust is...well, weird. The thesaurus is in the other room. Sue us.
If she just would have removed a third of all the stringy, tied-together things it would have been a lot prettier. As it is, it's just distracting and she looks like she just escaped from a hostage situation.

Daniel's model looks like a man.
This is why we love your screencaps--how else would we notice Rebecca's ill-fitted giant-looking butt?
Outfit's ok-looking given what he had to work with, but bland as hell and poorly made. Our sweet Daniel V. isn't really a fast starter, is he?
I liked Diana's a lot when I saw it walking down the runway. Now, seeing more of the detail in your screencaps, there are some issues, like the weird thing you've already pointed out. Also, seeing it next to the photo of Diana, the general shape of the red dress looks too similar to the original--she doesn't get a lot of creativity points.
I think Amish Hooker could apply again here for Daniel V's creation. You kitten's loosing your claws?
I think Diana's was by far the best of this challenge. And Daniel's was a boring, fugly mess.
i like diana's model, she just saved that dress.
a little bit little bit looks like uma thurman.
i just hate that daniel dress.
plain and boring and fat and fat and fat dress.
Agreed. Danny V made a fat dress. She looks like a big burlap sack of potatoes. Blech!
Rebecca's ass looks freakishly ENORMOUS from the backside. Yikes!
I'm all for asymetrical constuction, but damn if that red dress doesn't make her left boob look twice as big as her right! Perhaps the little hat was there to restore some balance......
I love Diana's designs. I like the uniqueness of her pieces. That's the sign of a true artist.
Oh, I didn't know you bitches had a new post.
"It's not that we love the Spider-woman look..."
Hahahahahaha.
I have a question: if some of the designers, like Daniel, chose not to use their jeans in their outfits, why did they give Kirsten such a hard time for not using her scarf? Were they required to use everything they were wearing, or not?
Daniel V is so overrated. I always think he was a pretty great designer until I go back and look at each design he did individually and realize there's just not a whole lot of anything exciting there. And we will see this continue as the season goes on and we look more closely at his designs. He is boring.
"Ah, so that's where the jeans went. He stuffed them in the ass. Seriously, what the hell? Why does her butt look so huge?"
wtf? how did that happen. it's a big old poofy pillow-stuffed ass on a scrawny modely person. wow. see what fashion can do?
I really didn't notice Daniel's designs this early in the competition, and now I can see why. Bland. Whereas I always noticed Diana's. She took risks and her outfits screamed Diana, not someone else's designs. As I said in another comment, I liked none of the results of this competition, but it was an interesting challenge nevertheless.
I love Diana! She's so interesting! If only she had a more assertive personality...

They didn't need to use all of their garments.
They gave Kirsten a tough time about not using the Hermes scarf because her other fabric choices were so skanky when compared to the French silk.
It's all in the editing isn't it?
At this point Daniel V. was so firmly under the radar. And Rebecca hadn't assumed her fierce persona.
Daniel's skirt looks like a Liz Claiborne design. Boring, blah and butt magnifying. Maybe Tim will give him a job.
Diana looks great in that picture, methinks. You are so right boys, a little editing, and Diana would be rockin. Unfortunately, science knows no shortcuts, I guess.
I remember Diana's skirt was real swirly, but I thought it was almost the same as the dress she wore. Danny V. was pacing himself. This one was blah but I just don't know how you could call his later designs boring. And if Rebecca's ass is fat, then i'm Oprah Winfrey.
Did Daniel stuff a pillow case under Rebecca's ass??? WTF is that??? That is extremely unflattering. I agree that he's way over-rated.
Rebecca is a skinny girl. It's Daniel's design that made her appear fat.
"Why does her butt look so huge?"
Because, design-wise, it's NOT solid! Boys, you are letting me down. I know everyone loved Daniel (after all, he seemed so sweet until the end of the season) but, come on, it's just unimaginative and poorly-made. Look at the closure on the front, oy! Okay, yes, he gets a point for the top not looking like a scarf. (And I know everyone loves "Uncle" Nick, who did make some very successful pieces during the competition, but I'm sorry, I can't see any beauty in that piece, even on it's on terms as an intentionally tacky bondage number.)
As for Diana, yes, her designs weren't always 100% successful but at least they showed some imagination and individuality, some ideas.
Oops. Its own terms, not it's.
I agree. Personality-wise, I understand why Nick and Daniel were popular. But their designs are poorly made. Nick's skank ho outfit is tacky and trashy. And Daniel's is badly sewn, ill-fitted, and lordy, he gave our bbeautiful Rebecca a cushy balloon arse. Not good.
Daniel needed to take 15 min to iron out that outfit before sending it out onto the runway. It's so wrinkly. It looks like she slept in it. And not in a good way. Sloppy!
Ooohhh, I have a post title: Khaki and Wacky.
Whatdya'll think? (I'm still trying to get in your good graces, since I still think my suggestion for your Top Design blog subtitle -- The Walls Have Queers -- rocks.)
I never understood the big fuss about Daniel V's work, I have to say
CP
I like Daniel V's design. He got the most out of his own outfit without using the denim. My guess about the fat ass, is that he didn't have enough fabric and had to stretch it too much -- and it's an unstretchable material, from the looks of it. So, while it was somewhat "badly-executed", it still came off well.
As for Diana, frankly I don't like it. I didn't like the original garments (her prom dress???) and I have to say I generally don't like her creations. Too contrived for my taste.
I will agree with several other posters that I was often surprised that Daniel V. won so many challenges. But then, as we've seen in other seasons of PR, the Prince of Challenges does tend NOT to get the big prize at Bryant Park. The Fashion Show is the opposite of a challenge, after all: no ground rules, no limitations. Pure talent.
There's something really wonky with Daniel's top. It makes Rebecca's breasts look lop-sided and floppy. I think the cut is too baggy in the wrong places. And her ass does look huge.
Diana's outfit is interesting. She was certainly one of the more original designers. It's a little odd, but lots of creativity.
i always thought that daniel was a boring bland vanilla designer - guess i win !!!
okay, im tired of u bitches being mad at danny!!! lets change it to marla
okay, kind of looks like the outfit that comes with the 1960's baby doll. . . .that someone tried to wear.
plus what is up w/ that model? i REALLY REALLY thought she was mean and her attitude was unnesscessary. and she cant walk
