I love project runway! Me and the girls at work are addicted to it. But I really hope Jeffery didn't cheat!From everything that he has overcome in his life, and to get to this point is honestly a blessing. Hes come too far to take the "lowest" way out.. I think everything he creates is new and different. And I really thing he can go far with all of his designs... I would wear his designs! But My vote for the winner of project runway wil have to go to Michael. I love everything he makes. Its fresh and new! Go Michael!

My vote has to go to Jeff or Mike. I look for Jeff to be thrown off like all the other designers I have liked this season. Malan and Kayne...I can't accept the fact that that back-stabbing Laura has made it this far with her [expletive deleted] hum designs.

Has anyone watched the 2 minute clip of tonight's episode on tvguide.com? I just watched it and Jeffrey is not included in the clip at all. I can't believe that Bravo would let tvguide post a clip that would give away the conclusion of the sewing issue, but it did get me very curious!!

you just answered your own question. Jeffrey is not included because to include him would give away the truth which is that he was there right alongside everyone.
I wish he would be out as he is unworthy to stand on the same stage as the noble and fabulous Laura LOL

My vote goes to Laura or Uli. Lauras clothes are elegant and Ulis I would wear anyday. Michaels is too trashy and Jeffreys makes his models look fat. No offense intended to any larger ladies, I am one myself.

I hope Jeffery wins! I admire how he appreciates his recorvery, loves his little boy and the honesty that comes with his successes. He may be a rebel ~ but his designs are amazing. Jeffery is full of surprises & terribly misunderstood by the other designers. You can never accuse someone of stealing [anything] if you do not have proof. I may be proven wrong about the other designer's accusing Jeffery of having 'illegal' help with his designs but I don't think he did simply because he uses his time wisely. He was so pumped and excited & I'm cheering for Jeffery!

October 18, 2006 - 02:32 PM
Why are so many people down on Laura. She is not my favorite, but she had every right to voice her concerns about Jeffrey. Apparently the stitch work was far beyond anything he had done before. (if he was always done so early, then why didn't he find the time to do good stitch work, especially if he is so great at it?). He had a lot more on his plate than the other contestants, but somehow his work was complete.
Additionally, he has people working for him on his Costa Nostra line. Is it really that hard to believe he would give these employees some of this Project Runway stuff to work on? What, is he too honorable a guy? He is not beyond reproach. He wants to win badly and has more means than the others to cheat. (By the way, what is he doing on Project Runway if he is such a successful celebrity designer? What next, Emeril on Top Chef?)
You may be right, and he may have done all the work himself. I doubt there is a way to know either way. But it is not a wild stretch of the imagination to think that Jeffery may have broken the rules of the game.

I am really pulling for Michael then Jeffery.
I like Uli as a reality pesonality - she is sweet as can be but I just don't think she has enough range.
Laura's designs are no doubt beautiful and the pics from Olympus fashion week are stunning but she is portrayed as being a very nasty, condescending woman and I just can't get behind her for that. Living in NYC she reminds me of those snotty old ladies that just walk around thinking they are superior to all others in their presence.
Jeffery can be a super jerk but I don't think it comes from an evil place I just think he is sort of immature. I do love his younger hip style.
Michael is my favorite by far! Young, hip and intersting designs. He knows a womans body. Plus he is just a likeable guy on the show. Go Michael - make the ATL proud!!

My point is this...no one should accuse someone of stealing, cheating or lying without proof. However, you are right, "no one is above reproach." I would be concerned what people thought of me if I accused someone of doing something and they were innocent. They did not have proof is my point. Each one of these four designers want to win. They all want to win. Why don't you ask "Project Runway" why they allowed Jeffery to be a constestant. I've never heard it a problem until you mentioned it.

What do you want, a smoking gun, a dead body, a Perry Mason like confession? Please. All three of the other remaining designers had concerns. They were familiar with the quality of his work. They knew how much work was involved in creating the collections. She expressed her concerns, which she had a right to do. At that point, she did not have time to convene a congessional investigation, as you obviously think is necessary before expressing concerns about Jeffery. You say there is no evidence. but the evidence is circumstantial: finished collection with no changes necessary, despite busy schedule; craftsmanship far superior to anything he previously displayed.
I like Jefferey's work overall (although he did have two of the worst designs, the hooker outfit and milkmaid outfit), and think his collection is great (one of the best, if not the best,at the designer show, judging from the pictures), but the blind allegiance from many posters is bizarre.

October 18, 2006 - 03:05 PM
I think as far a Jeffery being a "successful celebrity designer" is a relative term. I think he makes enough to modestly/comfortably support his family but I wouldn't say his career has taken off yet. I know people who sell enough of their craft to survive on but it can be feast or famine when you are a small name. I think Project Runway is the perfect way for small time designers to get their name out there. I mean many of the designers on the show work for the fashion industry but just not in the glamourous position as designer. At least Jefferey had the ballz to go out on his own and try to build his own brand.

IMO Jeffrey is the best designer.
However - I support Laura in her right to question.

Can't Wait!! Got hooked on PR during season 2 and now I'm slavishly hooked to Season 3! Lemme say though that Laura really ticks me off....she's a one trick pony, as has been said....how many colors can we make a plunging V neck in? blech....
Jeffery....if his attitude wasn't so dirt poor he would be worth the trouble....trouble is, what comes out of his mouth is vile and mean and unneeded. Think of his "special guest/ed" comment about Andrea...just nasty...for no reason...Tame the evil beast in his mouth and he would go FAR....
Uli...another one note....but a softer one note with at least a bit of color....
Michael...he's the MAN...he's my pick....He has talent, attitude, and variance in his work.....He constructs a garmet for a woman's BODY....not for a clothes hanger...I love him! GO MICHAEL...
Long live Project Runway

By you having an established label combined with your artistic talents to combine fabrics, textures, colors, line and design, you will continue to wow us (me).

I have totally become addicted to this show and I'm soo excited that the finale is here! I either want Uli or Michael to win--just because they seem to be themselves and are sort of mysteriously subdued. I think that either of them has what it takes to win. Jeff is cool but he can be so arrogant. I wonder if he'll be kicked off before the collections are shown...

Who wears them to go to the store. I see a rich woman here. Hope Tim Gunn wears his next season. Loved the look on Heidi face when he said yes I wear jeans. Goooooooooooooo Timmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I pick Tim Gunn to win. lol

October 18, 2006 - 04:16 PM
I said "there is no evidence" because there needs to be evidence as expressed by Tim. Of "the three" it was Laura who convinced the others to tell Tim they suspect Jeffery did not play by the rules. Of course they have the right to accuse Jeffery of anything & without "circumstancial" evidence. Now that I've validated your feelings and opinion - I did not say a "congressional hearing" should take place & I have no stakes in this competition. I am a grandmother who loves this comepition and I love Jeffery. He is my favorite. I will always believe that no one should be accused of something without some kind of proof. I've watched too many people in my life in the professional work place accuse people of stealing to find they simply misplaced something. Jeffery & all the designers have to give reciepts of their work & material. Jeffery told Tim it would have cost him hundreds of dollars to have someone sew his purse. I hope he isn't lying...I certainly have no proof he is telling the truth. I love the truth and I will be disappointed if Jeffery get kicked out of the fashion show tonight.

I'm thinking the same... Laura has been on Jeffrey's case for some time. It seems more like jealousy to me... Yes, she's a great designer and creates many ellaborate and beautiful garments, but her attitude and back-stabbing ways of trying to ruin Jeffrey's reputation isn't acceptable! She stated that she felt that Jeffrey received outside help on his collection. Well, the same thing could easily be said about her. How would she like it if the tables were turned and someone said, "I don't believe Laura could have completed all those ellaborate garments with intricately detailed embellishments in such a short time. Afterall, a woman in her condition (pregnant) would more than likely not have the energy to physically do all of that work herself." Jeffrey shouldn't be penalized, especially if Laura's accusations cannot be verified 100%.

I agree if they cant be proved 100% then it needs to be dropped. And she needs to get over it but as we have seen all season she wont let things drop. I liked her at first but as the season went on I saw a mean woman come to light. And as far as her saying I did not have time well duh she has all those kids and one on the way. How could she have time. That is all I have to say about her comment. 50 minutes left.

It is such a mystery how such a sweetie from a great family could imagine woman want to look like alien hookers. Step away from the music videos Michael!

I'm sorry, Laura is not a back stabber. Jeffrey is a louse of a human for the way he's talked crap about the other designers while being at times nice to their face to outright mean. I think it's between Uli and Laura. They are both wonderful women and I hope their collections are fantastic!
Micheals looked so bad on a hanger. He's not good at high fashion. He may be good at sportswear, but those hot pants were aweful and his hip hop club wear is for a niche crowd.

Jeffrey may be abrasive, obnoxious (on occasion), rebellious, too blunt, touchy -- BUT HE ISN'T A CHEAT! I ran my own dressmaking bussiness for 10 years, it doesn't surprise me at all that Jeffrey would be able to get all those outfits done and with the quality that Laura noticed. He's a professional, probably sews fast (which we saw on the show), and he's compulsive -- he probably spends a great deal of time working. I didn't like Jeffrey very much early on in the show -- he is obnoxious and immature -- but his obvious talent won me over. I didn't like the way he treated Angela's mom, but then again, I thought both of them were set up for an opportunity to have a confrontation. We didn't see Tim ask anyone else such pointed questions. Anyway, my read on Jeffrey's personality is that, if anything, he is too frank and honest -- doesn't hold back. I think these qualities mean he has integrity (something you have to have in order to stay sober), and I just don't think he's a cheat. He cares too much about his reputation, and his future. So there's my two cents worth about the whole issue. I think Laura was within her rights to bring up the issue, but I also think that her lack of professional experience is showing. 12 garments in 2 months may seem like a lot, but it is do-able.
jayfan
October 18, 2006 - 05:23 PM
Uli is so South Fl you can see all the old ladies there wearing her stuff. I know I have seen them. I like Micheal as he is young and hip and has a voice that is new and not so old. Just my thoughts. 35 minutes to go. Yeah. I still think Tim Gunn will win.

Oh, please, these designers have lived, worked, compteted with each other for 3 months. All 3 of the other designers thought didn't sew his own work and they chose Laura to confront him cause she had the balls.
Like you wouldn't have questioned the work if the tables weren't turned and it's very easy to say you wouldn't outside the stress and situation of the same 3 months they've had.
I'm sick of seeing Laura compared to Wendy Pepper. Wendy was a talentless hack who only made it through because there was one person who was worse. She was constantly in the bottom 2-3. Laura has been on the chopping block once. All the jusdges love her work, her tailoring and her point of view. They would like to see soemthing more, but they've said the same about all 4 of the finalists.
Everyone is saying how misunderstood Jeffery is, but as a recovering addict, you do not stay sober and treat others or act as haughty as he does and stay sober. It's a given fact. He even refused to make amends on the reunion show after he had a chance to see his behavior. Not a very nice person at all.

I am sure that the editing manipulation has faked the "outing" of Jeffrey. It's just something to stir crap up. You'd think by now they would realize we're on to all those "reality" clips. It's all about ratings you know. Ugh.
I read on a spoiler blogging website repeatedly that Michael doesn't win. Too bad. I am sure he'll do just fine in the fashion industry without a win of the competition.
Uli's voice combined with all her non-fitted/tailored garments (everything reminds me of a tent) is almost too much to bear. Ugh. Ugh.
As for Laura, I love her wit-she cracks me up! I love her honesty too. I love her classic garments, embellishments, tailoring and fine detail even if that is her primary point of view.

October 18, 2006 - 05:27 PM
Well, it is almost over...and then we'll all know the outcome. I'll never understand how anyone can believe that with less time than the first two season's designers had, Jeffery was able to design and manufacture his own line plus design and sew the dresses/swimsuit for Bryant Park. If he actually did, then he's superdesigner/dressmaker!!! Unless the PR editors have done a really smash up job of setting him up to look bad, he did nothing except pick models and put the clothes on them...no hems, buttons, hooks, or any alterations for size. I'm looking forward to finding out why he dropped the blond wig idea. None of his models wore them on the runway.
