What a fun way to start the morning, getting all decked out to go sit in the LA sun looking at a runway and the Hollywood sign awaiting to see what the contestants would pull off from Lawrence Zarian’s challenge.  “Make a cheap dress chic.”

I really enjoyed getting to know the other 3 amazing judges and true icons of LA Fashion. Lawrence is a true well spoken handsome host, and an expert in fashion. Stephen Kamifuji is creative and daring with his Genlux Magazine spreads and detail to fun sexy fashion, he has the coolest haircut too!  David and I got to sit next to this morning and I absolutely love his energy and his eclectic, glamorous edge to his beautiful gowns.

I think we were all blown away at what a great job the 5 contestants did to follow the parameters of the challenge. I was tied between 2 of them. I liked Jose’s futuristic dress, he did amazing insets and a killer back, his design defiantly makes a statement and it is a dress I would even wear.  I also liked the dress Alexis did which had an amazing dramatic back, a nice choice of lace (I hate cheap lace) and interesting straps how he shaped them in the front.  From a retail perspective the dress Alexis designed would have more retail life and cater to more customers as it is a bit more mainstream.

I am very excited for tomorrow to introduce my challenge bright and early and lets see how the dedicated, passionate excited contestants do with turning my bad buy into a sexy cool rocker Lisa Kline piece!!

Thanks for watching, Xo
