The decision generated a ton of hype.. my friends that are also fans of this season are up-in-arms and I find it hilarous. Uli's collection was amazing and nothing will take that way. She is set for a huge career, both my mom and sister were swooning over her collection.

This show NEVER get it right!
They NEVER had a Winner I agreed with. Besides, where are they now?
Fat boy FINALLY showed - to little fanfare
Asian Girl is stuck making PROM dresses and
this Dope Fiend isn't ORIGINAL at all. Besides, he can't sew. Yuck! Besides, I was watching the Black Movie Awards - I just found out this outcome.

Karma's a [expletive deleted]. The right man won, and the slanderous drag queen wore a devasted expression when she was booted that was absolutely priceless. Uli also did a great job. And "darling" Michael showed his true colors joining in with Laura on the accusation against Jeffrey and in a thoroughly trashy collection.
Hundreds of man hours of beading, rich [expletive deleted] with 5 kids, and SHE'S accusing Jeff of cheating? As Kayne said, "I worry about your character, which is far worse." I think her output should have been equally scrutinized by the producers. Again, in the immortal words of Vincent, "Why don't you stick those Harry Winstons up your nose?"

Oh I wasn't saying that Laura should have won! OMG completely the opposite! I was responding to this statement by another poster...{The real theme is that on TV being an A-hole is a asset}
That is why I said if that were true, Laura would have won.

I wasn't wowed by Jeffrey's collection nor did the audience seem to be. They really seemed to like Laura's and Uli's collection better. I'm beginning to think Kors and Nina are idiots. Uli should have won it.
That's because the audience goes by who they like more as a person, and not who the best designer is.......look at the rate the runway results...Michael has higher scores than Jeffrey and his collection was very dissapointing. Jeffrey was the more innovative, and you don't become a big designer by doing what others have done already. Uli was also amazing and it was a very close call. I think the judges made their choice based on innovation more than marketability and you can disagree with that, but no doubt Jeffrey is a very talented and creative designer, even if his personality leaves much to be desired.
Ugly does not =innovation anymore than rudeness=competition.I agree with the spirit of fairplay.Someone said that if Laura had not brought up the issue of cheating,would anyone have even thought about it.
But on the other hand,if Jeffrey had not made such an issue on camera about his sloppy and obviously poorly managed past,would his collection even made it to the runway.Methinks not! He didnt truly win on talent,unless u consider manipulating people to be a talent....Now,there,he might be 'innovative'.
And if u listen to the audience,u hear applause for some of Laura's pieces and some of Uli's pieces,but Michael's and Jeff's got nada,for any outfits.

I am very disappointed that Jeffrey was chosen the winner.
It doesn't seem fair that he broke the rules and was rewarded. He knew that he was to stay within the budget. If the shorts' receipt had materialized then he would have been even more over the budget. I still don't know that he actually sewed all of his collection. I don't think there is any way to know. As far as his collection, I felt it was very disjointed. The long dress was a horror. Many of the other items looked like pieces thrown together from a closet of odds and ends. A cohesive collection it wasn't!
Uli's collection should have won in my opinion. It all flowed together and was very wearable by many women. It appealed to a wide audience and will be very successfully marketed with or without the win. It was heartbreaking that Project Runway decided to go weird again instead of recognizing a great real fashion designer.

I question the character of posters like you.

this is my first post, and rightfully so.
I always been routing for Jeffrey because of his innovation and edginess, but eventhough I liked his show, I was expecting more. It's too bad about the accusations -- I thought having the models wearing matching wigs would be a great distinctive touch.
Laura's runways was very refined but that was it -- the music (which was great) remined me of Kara Sahn's show, proabably the same composer. Very vintage and little innovation.
Michael's was surprisingly a bit too gaudy and lacking in taste, I was expecting more -- the models were definately the hottest and really moved well.
Uli's I thought had the best all around show. I thought she would win because her's design was the most commercially marketable and something would sell in the stores.
Congrats to Jeffrey, he deserved it!

Unpopular sh!t stinks too---like Laura's collection and what the Republican party has done to lose their votes. Muhahahaha

If you have ever seen a real runway show (outside of project runway) the clothes aren't exactly what you would see in stores - they are inspiration for a line yet to come. Therefore, innovation and artistic talent is the key. That is what Jeffrey offered. That is why he won. No one else matched that level of creativity and inspiration.

I am amazed.
Really - - I am truly amazed at the negativity and emotions - - - because your favorite person did not win. I'm not talking design - - I'm talking personality. Your favorite personality did not win.
You need to rise above personality - - editing - - beauty - - etc.
And seriously look at design concepts and innovation.
This is not a popularity contest. It is a design contest.

Fashion long ago ceased to be about style and beauty and became a mysogynistic caricature of itself. PR just proved that tonight. Laura and Uli produced some of the most stunning dresses I have ever seen, they were classy, sexy and all about the female form.
Sobelia's selection was a joke on women everywhere...
Quote:
I just checked in to see how everyone else is taking the win on PR.
I have to say I'm dissapointed. Although Micheal was my favorite up until the finale, which I thought Uli nailed. Laura didn't do so badly either, but Jeffrey wasn't my pick. I think he's talented and am glad he's getting his life turned around but not my pick. And it looks like I'm not alone.
Quote:
PR has little credibility and I suggest that is one of the reasons it did not win the Emmy Award for best reality as it is not reality tv just an edited version. Jeff should have been out at the Mom challenge (albeit Angela and Darlene could have a volume written) or then at the black and white challenge as it was black and white not black-white-and pimp.
The budget stuff, the questions posed by Laura, Michael and Uli (it was not only Laura but Michael and Uli who raised the doubt question) hold a cloud over the decision.
For me, Michael and Kayne and Robert held the moral compass for this season. And I need to pass on PR and then Bravo.
Heidi, Michael and Nina - YOU ARE AUFED!

Amen to That
After tonight.......I will never be a faithful supporter of Project Runway. The first season was a disappointment, and I still continued to watch. However, it was blatantly clear that the top three were Uli, Michael, and Laura. I thought Jeffery would have been the first out. Not only did they keep him....he had a horrible attitude the whole season, he was definitely inconsistent, the majority of the viewers didn't vote for him, there was suspicions about his integrity, and he went way over budget. Aside from all of those things, he was already successful in his own personal endeavors, and it is very obvious that he only appeals to one specific sector. If this show was intended to relate to normal people as well as fashionistas (is that a word?), and celebrities, the people the producers chose for judges were not reaching out to the what the viewers wanted, and damn sure was not Jeffery!
Now, on the other hand, Laura was definitely consistent throughout the whole season. Although I agree with the judges saying she needed to broaden her horizons, you cannot deny she is an excellent designer. What she did in the finale was phenomenal! Though her main focus was on evening wear. She changed it up for those "Red Carpeters". No one can deny that the lace dress with the pants was innovative, her signature piece was right on time, and carefully put together with colors and detailing. If I had a "Red Carpet" event, I would definitely give her a call first.
My roots are South Floridian, and Uli's designs portrayed my environment growing up to the "T" when spending all of my holidays in lovely sunny Florida, and I loved her simplistic, yet glamorous combinations. They would be great pieces, but those would be the things that I would buy only to wear once.....just for "oooh's and aaaah's" But her pieces were sensational!
Although I really wanted Michael to win, (I expected Uli to take home the victory after watching the fashion show)only because he was consistent throughout the whole season, and he knew a womans body so well, it almost made me question him, and scared me at the same time. I absolutely loved Michael the entire season. However, his finale collection was not what I expected from him, he makes things that every women could and would want to wear. I know he is good, and he is way beyond "potential". Potential is for a teenage girl/boy who is pretty good, but still needing a little more soul searching. For Heidi to say that to him was a real insult, I even took it personal.
My reason in sending this email is, without the viewers, there would be no 'Project Runway' I think the show should be based on how the viewers feel at least a little, versus what 3 snobbish judges believe is good. What the network and producers need to realize is that all 'Project Runway' viewers do not read Elle Magazine, and all viewers do not look like Heidi Klum after 1 or 2 babies, and all the viewers do not wear Michael Kors (I do, Kudos to Michael! (
So, in saying that, 'Project Runway' is supposed to be a stepping stone for an aspiring designer....Hell, look at the prizes: mentorship......$$$ to start their own line....and a fashion spread in one of the top magazine publications! I and many others, am sure that this final decision was definitely bias. If it wasn't for the type of audience that Elle reached out to, and what is in this season or following seasons to come in and out of fashion, the grand prize should have been awarded to either Michael, Laura, or Uli. I am sure they could have really used the mentoring from I.N.C. that would have helped them, and given them the opportunity to learn more, and broaden their collections, and develop them professionally in the fashion world. Jeffery on the other hand has a pretty successful business appealing to his rock star clients, and it is obvious that he is not going to steer away from that anytime soon. His collection was not as good as the others. And for you to look at all the time and energy the other three spent on their work without the help of outsiders, they did exactly what they envisioned and stayed under budget. While Jeffrey on the other hand had help. That is very unfair. Hell, Laura did beading and sequins by herself. She put a lot of time into her work and you would have never imagined the pieces she had come down that runway to come from an amateur. I feel the same about Uli's choices in accessories and details, her line was very thought out and executed wonderfully. And with Michael, he came back to NY, made changes, and still pulled his designs off. He really made you feel like "damn...I would buy and wear that a few times..." as did Laura and Uli. Jeffrey was way out of the hemisphere for a lot of people. His line was built celebrity specific....It was interesting, but nothing I would consciously put effort into buying.
Don't be misunderstood by my opinions, I know last season Chloe, my fellow Houstonian won, and she has her own business as well (Where I have been a faithful shopper for many years! Love Lot 8! ) But, no one can deny, Chloe was consistent to the very end, and she earned that grand prize. Hands down, she was the best there. Now I did love Daniel just as much, but bottom-line, Chloe set the bar every single challenge. She earned and deserved to win last season. Now first season, Austin was my absolute favorite, but I understand why he didn't win (too way over the top a lot of the time, but wonderful as well), but to choose crazy ass Jay was just ridiculous, his line was not as good as the others at all.
My suggestion is maybe in future seasons they should chose another magazine for the spread, maybe another designer judge, and hell someone to help Heidi. Just to change the environment a little. It just seems like the panel is too biased, and it is unfair to the contestants. I think there should be 2 to 3 types of designers judging, and maybe a magazine that has a variety of consumers that they reach out to all in one magazine.
Those are just my thoughts, but I do know unless something changes, I will not be watching Project Runway again.

I love that the creator of Olympus fashion week so often disagreed with Nina and Michael. Especially telling Uli and Laura that there's nothing wrong with focus. HA! Take that! I wonder who her choice for winner was.
And I don't understand how anyone decided that Jeffrey didn't cheat because of his receipts! Come on! Who is going to keep evidence of cheating? And what if people in his shop sewed his collection - there wouldn't have been any receipts then, would there have? Nope. No matter what the judges said, Jeffrey is a loser.

Ugly is subjective......you say ugly, judges say pretty. We all have friends who think they dress real well and we disagree. Some people think Picasso's paintings are ugly, some think they are amazing.......if you study art history, wheather you think they are beautiful or ugly, you cannot deny the immense contribution to art he made, because he created a new aesthetic, pushing beyond what has been done before. That's why innovation is rewarded and judging goes beyond a subjective sense of beauty.
