Am I Dreaming?

Daniella shares her amazement at making it to the final four.

July 9, 2009

OMG! Are you serious? Am I dreaming? I think it wasn’t until Isaac looked at us all and told us we were the best and Issac Mizrahi called us talented that I realized all the amazing opportunities we’ve experienced and people we’ve met through this journey! I was so humbled in that moment and yet so, so proud! Yes! This is what I’ve been waiting for. Every moment of doubt I ever experienced in this competition was all for this very moment of confirmation of what I’ve believed my whole career — I am a great designer! And to be honest it is a huge honor to be competing against other really talented and diverse creative designers. I mean, to have stood in the top two next to Anna’s work or art and Glenda Bailey tell me I won because she would shoot my dress for Harper’s Bazaar! Where the hell am I!? Can someone please pinch me?! Guaranteed spot in the finale! I guess I always knew this was what I’ve been working for, but what an amazing moment.
I feel terrible for Johnny. What a sweet, creative, smart person — he would have brought so much innovation to the show which is what is so sad and ironic about the judging criteria of his elimination. I’m actually intrigued to see what James-Paul will do, but I cannot wait to get started. I am so excited. Congrats to everyone else. It really is an amazing thing. And I am especially grateful to go into this experience with the confidence of having won the final challenge! Yay!

hi! i think that you daniella are so talent... and i believe in you. your designs are amazing really! i like it. =) i like design too but i`m 14 years.. just 14... maybe someday i will be like you. bye-bye kisses for all the world and too Argentina my country that i love... good look daniella! you`ve got all. just don`t forget of God. kiss `n`hug

Great style, D. NOW Bravo sd it would be on sale to the public along with others....so far nothing!!!! What is up???????????

Tired of hearing about Daniella's attitude.. Hers was nothing compared to Reco's and Merlin's.. They were downright mean and bragged constantly and look where that got them> they even trashed the women every week. I hope the girls ditch them when they call!!!!!!!!! I liked how the women on this show stayed out of the trash talk that the men did..

How do I get a copy of the necklace you wore to the finale? The green, black, silver one? IT WAS AMAZING! so are you! :)

Thx.

Daniella, your passion and enthusiasm for fashion design is inspirational and contagious. In fact, I've caught the blogging bug! This is my first blog ever! So on this inaugural e-mail occasion I would like to THANK YOU for reminding me that expressing one's creativity is a Necessity NOT a luxury. Like breathing. You have exhibited great courage to pursue your dream in a very public forum. Good for you! I don't even know you and I'm proud of you! I was told long ago that "Feedback is your friend." Not an easy concept at any age. I encourage you to keep an open mind to all CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Listen to the feedback, and if it's sound, act on it. If not, trust your gut! I checked out a book from the library titled, "Encouragement Changes Everything" by John C. Maxwell. It stresses the importance of encouraging individuals to go after their dreams. To me, this is CRITICAL in a creative field where many comments are so subjective that they can derail you, if you're not careful. I wish you all the best. Perhaps you have a website where we can watch your progress and give you a pep talk when you need one? And WE ALL need a pep talk now and then. GOOD LUCK! Yeah, I'm no longer a blog virgin!

I'm trying to get intouch with Daniella can some one send me and email and tell me how... I'm interested in getting a dress from her for Miss Univers pageant. PLEASE!!!!

Congrats Daniella!!!! I know we haven't talked in forever but I'm SO proud of you :) Sorry I couldn't watch the show (Alb and I don't have cable), but your pix are gorgeous and you're one talented and special chick!! You definitely deserve to go far!! xx

Daniella,
I was sooo hoping you would win so I could buy a few of your designs. Will you be selling them anywhere? Are you based in New York. Please let us know...I know you could sell so much of that fab collection!!!
Good Luck!

I think that you should have won. anna's collection was good,but i think you have more talent on what's going on in todays fashion.

Daniella, young fresh!!! Love your line and ideals Sholders have
always been my thing!!! You so should have won!!! Now I need to
know where and how I can buy your pieces!!!!!!!!

Congratulation. I am happy for you.
However, what bother me about this show is that most of the contestants and judges possess mean personalities. We can win without putting down others, without hurting others' feelings. Each pot has it's own lid. A cow will follow only a herd of cows. Each designer will his or her own fans. And in the fans' mind, that designer is the best.
Therefore, winning is relative, and loosing is also relative. Do not get too caught up by it.
Remember that everybody has feelings, just like you. Conflicts, disagreements, love, hatred, etc... all come from our minds, speech and actions.
Wishing you the best.

Daniella, congratulations to you, Anna and JamesPaul, if anything the reunion show proved that the top 3 picked have class, compassion and intelligence beyond their years. Reco, sat like the kid in school that didn't get his way so he wasn't going to participate,look at or forgive anyone just his own delusions. May God bless all 15 of you (Reco too), everyone deserves a dream to come true. By the way are you going to take the editor of Harpers up on her offer, what a pot of gold at the end of the show!

I think you are awesome!!! I absolutely love the shirt you wore in the second part of the finale! Where can I get it?!

OMG. Let me tell you. That I am your biggest fan. I loved evry single design of yours. I was really hoping you would win. But, I know that either you win or loose, I believe that you're going to be big. I for sure knows that everyone loves your work. Well, Good Luck in the Future.

Your Biggest Fan

Go, on, D! Take over the world!

I, for one, applaud your strong sense of self worth and confidence in your own creative vision. If Reco`s defensive pouting and inflated claim to immortal fame equal a "good attitude" then be glad they say you don`t have one. That "attitude" is the same cool edge that surfaces in the designs. Keep it!

Daniella - You are amazingly talented!!! My vote was for you...but what you can you do!!! You're already a star and your age has nothing to do with raw talent!!! Simply a-mazing!!!

Oh - and where can I get that wicked song you put together for your runway show??? Super Hot!!!

Daniella,  YOU ROCK!!! I agree with the judges' decision because I think their opinion was true to "The Fashion Show" criteria.  Yes, Anna's clothes are more "saleable"; I thought the premise of the show was to have the judges make the decisions.  I know the $125,000 would have been wonderful for you.  While your cash prize was much less, your real prize is having highly respected people in the industry believing in you.  I forgot whch judge said she had a couple of designers she wanted you to meet; isn't that worth more to your career than winning on votes from the viewers?If you are getting over your "sizism", I hope you will remember plus size women will want your clothes, too.  I'm a plus size, 56 year old, very far from red carpets, society balls, etc. and I would like to wear some of your designs.  I loved the grey evening gown with the crystals so much that, if I could, I would buy it.  I don't have anywhere to wear it with others, but I would wear it around the house because I love it so much!

Daniella,
What a talent you are. I agree with the judges choice. Keep up the good work. Even though I'm a little 67 year old grandma your artistic ability has inspired me both fashion wise and design wise. CONGRATULATIONS!

Daniella - you are the winner. NOt because I like your design, but as you see - masters like your creations too. Nobody got the offer from judges, but you. This is a winning ticket to Fashion World. Good Luck.

Congratulations!! You did a wonderful job on the show. I hope that $10,000 will help you continue your career/education, whatever.. You are so young and I loved the positive feedback and offers you received from the judges. They, obviously, see your potential, drive, and refreshing look at fashion. That is better than first prize, at your young age. I think they actually gave you a first class ticket/good advice, and contacts to success in the fashion world!!!!! Best Wishes in your successful future!!

I watched da show last night nd congrats on winning the judges award!!! Don't worry about not winning, because being on the fashion show gives you a headstart in your career!!!!!! :) Ur going places :) x 2
PS--- Through out the season i could totally tell what message you were trying to give with your designs: modern,youthful, fresh, sophisticated :) x 3

Daniella, I guess I am not the average 47 year old woman because of the accolades that Anna received instead of you. Had it been up to me, as with the judges, there was no comparison. I would not have considered buying Anna's clothing because I found the pieces lacking in sophistication and vision.

Your clothing on the other hand, when I saw the final collection, made me brim with excitement. The look was strong, but feminine, shapely, sexy; I love your use of soft fabrics with sharp details, and the emphasis on showcasing the shoulders and the shape of a woman's body. Feel of the fabric is very important to me and I could feel the fabrics in your pieces through the television screen: the leather, the silk, the chiffon.

In my humble opinion, you do bring something to the fashion industry that I wish more designers were selling. During the past few years I have been disappointed by what is being sold in the US. I wind up not buying anything, but instead coveting what I already own. If someone in the US retail market were selling your designs, frankly, I would be buying. I want to put something on that is fresh and makes me feel beautiful and celebrate the fact I am a modern woman.

Tim and Isaac, can you please hire Daniella to work for Liz Claiborne? Thank you! By the way, I also love Jean Paul's collection, like Fern, and I would wear his clothes as well.

i have the same shirt that you wore on the finale!! forever 21... i would expect you to wear your own design..

Daniella, I loved all of your work! You are extremely talented, and will go a long way. I absolutely loved the hood/scarf that you created. Is there any way to order that or possibly obtain one somehow? I HAVE to have it!!!! Congratulations!

Daniella, I loved many of your clothing designs. BUT I am very interested in the design you wore to the finale. Was it yours? I am so into the black and white look but not into the whole zebra thing, frankly I think the animal print thing is out. I am very much a Chanel fan and a fan of the classics. I am not into the whole avant guarde thing. Thank you for being true to yourself and sticking to your gut even though it was gutsy. I loved the grey gown and especially how you did the beading and the neckline with a bear shoulder, it all worked. I think it would work in m/any colors. Please let me know about your design you wore to the finale and if I can get it on Bravo or where/how/when....Thank you darling!

Daniella, you have a fresh vision that comes through week after week that is wearable by women of all ages not just the youthful few that have a fabulous shape. I'll definitely be looking for more about you in the future.

Keep on keepin on you'll be greater than you are now, I look forward to that day. I also thought your collection was more of a collection that could be sold in a single department of a single store vs Annas' collection.

Kat

Daniella. I just loved your collection. I really want to be a designer myself! This is what I really want to do in my life. I just love everything you create. You are so creative and know what women want to wear today especially me! Everything that you created is what I would wear(when im older of course!) I hope you read this so you know that you are appreciated and everyone loves you. You seem like a great friend and I would love to see you one day and learn about you! Anyways, just keep on doing what you love because everyone loves what you create! Work hard!

Daniella the long gray dress with the jeweled neckline that came around from the back of the neck...loved it and need to get my hands on one! Where can I get that dress? If I could get one in white I'd wear it for my wedding!!!
Let me know!
Thanks!

Daniella, you are amazing! tonight on the finale when they showed the clip of you during the season, which song was that playing in the background?

Daniella,

U can sew your behind off. But your attitude sucks. I even voted for u. Because I am about the truth. Just take a look at how u present you self to people.

Daniella, when you made the dress with the crystals that went over the the neck that dress was so pretty i know i would buy it! good luck!!!!

Age don't got s#!% to do with talent and unique abilities in fashion design. Being the youngest contestant on "The Fashion Show" shouldn't be as significant as your collections, by which I loved a few of your dresses. YOU REPRESENT!, esp. for all the 22 yr olds with talent. (I'm 22 also, lol) Also, I think you're real pretty, just wanted to add to that.

daniella,
you are very beautiful and i always love your designs! I hope you win! PLEASE, BLOG and tell where you get your jewelry (ESPECIALLY YOUR RINGS!)

I agree with Kathy and feel you are too young and would benefit from studying under a real designer for a couple of years. You have talent but it's not there yet!

Your designs are okay but you could benefit from studying in Europe with a real designer for a year or 2. I think the guest judge on the final 4 episode got it wrong. No matter who wins the it has to be bittersweet since you didn't compete against the best-RECO! and no Reco and I are not related.

Daniella; I believe you are to young still. I see a lot of potentil, you will come into a time when you will know what I mean and you will feel it and no one will touch you. I know you have worked hard and the grey gown although some people said it was drab and dull was awesome and stick to what you feel. We are all behind you-but you are still too young. Keep going-you will realize what I mean in mid 30's. You are at a great starting point! Love what you have done so far!!!

Your are too young. Maturity carries a weight of knowing all body types and interests although I see alot of potentiel in you at 22 I believe after seeing all shows on Bravo; I feel given a few years to mature like a fine wine at maybe 35 you will really, really be IT. But not now. Things take time although you feel like you have worked so hard which you have, some day you will agree there comes a time when you just know you have arrived and that has not happened for you yet but it is coming. Congratulations on all you have done do far. The grey gown was awesome even tho people thought it would not be at first... in the end it was really the best one out there. We love you keep it up.

hello I really love the hood you designed can you direct me to were I can place an order ...

Your designs are very trendy and different. You will be very successful.

I believe alot of the designers underestimated you. You obviously are very creative, although, I did not particularly care for most of your designs. Your final collection was not very "real woman" type of stuff. I personally don't know anyone who would wear plastic looking shoulders, but ok. You have a terrible attitude, and I don't someone so mean spirited should win. I did love the song you created, and your whole collection was interwoven and flowed with your theme. I like that you did the jewelry etc. You definitely have a whole picture and are on the track towards success. It is a good thing you can do it all because I am not sure you will find anyone who really likes you or can work for you. Basically, you need some life and people skills before you are ready to be a success. Although, you may crave success, enjoying it all alone it might not be as sweet as you thought.

Daniella, you are still young and have some growing up to do about different types of body sizes. For you to say that you would have preferrd for your already stick figured model to be even thinner in the final, was a bit insulting and unrealistic in the real world. For you to make any type of real money you will have to change your mindset. One your not thin and two you cannot properly tailor clothing to a thin woman. Get it together girlfriend.

I knew you would be in the finals when i watched the very first episode! You are fabulous. The soundtrack that you made was amazing, you should get it on itunes. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

xoxo

i Want The Song that Played during ur collection its was amazing

i don't know if your personality is really as it is portrayed on the show or if it's just crafty editting on the producers part but you need to take you attitude down just a peg. i love your designs and think you're talented but you attitude gets in the way.

You are the WINNER! Your collection was SICK! And you making your own jewelry, and sound track for the runway event, was off the CHARTS! Go Daniella!

DANIELLA JUST WANT 2 TELL U UR THE BEST U ILL WIN I KNOW IT MAKE ME HAPPY SEE WHAT U MAKE , U ILL BE , , WISH U WIN ILL KEEP A PRADE 4 U , LOVE U 201 598 3321

I thought it was totally rad that you also designed the music for your show.

I would love to see some fashions made with fancy wide ribbons...
washable of course and practical with
fabrics that are easy to care for.
Cottons
terry cloth [ with some mettalic threads in it]
in fact many daytime casual sets with the mettalic threads woven in them...
and tons of pockets
maybe a few casual cargo shorts/skirts/skorts/pants/
jackets/coats/sweaters/
i love the casual look of cargo clothing...

YOU DESERVE TO WIN

YOUR THE BEST
