Danielle is the latest assistant to fall by the fashion wayside on the CW's Stylista.
I thought, at the beginning of the season, that Danielle would make it to the final three because she consistently made good decisions, knew the current fashion trends inside and out, and displayed a great sense of style. However, on last night's episode, her demise was all but set in stone when she played more of a secretarial role in the elimination challenge, rather than making editorial decisions for her team.
Danielle spoke to BuddyTV today, and shared with us her perspective on going into the Elle closet, what it was like to work with her teammates and what she would have done differently if she had the chance to do it again.

Tonight on Stylista, the fashion wannabes will be attending a high profile fashion party that Anne Slowey and Joe Zee will be hosting at a hot New York restaurant, Bungalow 8. They'll be helping Anne and Joe identify all the celebrity guests and why they are important. Afterwards, they'll be creating a party page for the magazine.
For the assistant task, the stylistas much purchase thank you gifts for Anne to give to Amy Sacco, the owner of Bungalow 8. Working in pairs, they'll have $250 and one hour to find the gift. Dyshaun go to a jewelry store and decide upon a vintage Chanel brooch. Johanna and Megan buy a cashmere travel blanket, and Danielle and Ashlie put together a travel survival kit with tons of little things like handi-wipes and such.

William is the latest aspiring fashionista to fall by the wayside on the CW's Stylista. (Devin was also eliminated at the same time, but she was unavailable for a phone interview.) William started out the competition looking like a crazed fashion victim, but quickly transformed himself into a hard-working assistant. Unfortunately, Anne Slowey decided that he was not the right fit at Elle because she couldn't see his personal mark on his team's layout in last night's episode.
William spoke to BuddyTV and gave us a unique insight about the other contestants on Stylista. According to him, what we see in the episodes is actually a good representation of what is going on with the contestants. I guess that means that those full-on screaming matches aren't being doctored up with editing. God, I love this show.

Tonight on Stylista, the contestants hit the Henri Bendel boutique to shop for an outfit for Anne Slowey to wear on her last-minute trip. For their editorial task, the group breaks up into teams to design and direct a photo shoot featuring an outfit designed by Tory Burch, who will help Anne and Joe Zee select the winners. Tory appears on the show as a guest judge and helps Anne and Joe decide which team made her outfit look the best on the page. And, as always, there will be huge, huge, huge fights between the contestants. Honestly, the fights are really why I love Stylista so!

During her short stint on Stylista, Cologne often looked like the lone sane person in a crowd full of crazies. She only lasted three weeks as an assistant at Elle magazine, despite being in the winning teams for the first two weeks in a row.
Cologne spoke to BuddyTV today and gave us the scoop on the interpersonal dynamics among the contestants on the show. She shared with us her observations on Kate and Megan, probably two of the most unique personalities in the house. She is also a budding entrepreneur, having just launched her own online clothing company over the summer.

So far, I am absolutely enthralled by all the drama on the CW's Stylista. From a purely anthropological perspective, it is fascinating to watch these highly motivated, artistic and fashion forward divas all interacting with each other. I really can't wait how the showdown between Megan and Ashlie will go. I can't wait to see all the various and cruel ways the contestants will torture Kate. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm pretty sure it will be glorious!
On tonight's Stylista, the stylistas must throw a birthday party for Anne Slowey's niece where, I'm sure, high intensity drama will ensue.
