I'm shocked.... I've tried very hard to understand what the judges were thinking, read opinions here and elsewhere and I just don't get it. Ultimately, after all the shows, after all the designs I do not recall ONE of these esteemed judges saying that they would either wear one of Jeffrey's garments or in Michael Kors case that he would put it on a gf or wife. How many times did Heidi say she would wear things the other three designed. Ditto with Nina and many of the guest judges.
Is there something wrong with solid design style that people know is yours? I love Lauren, JonesNY, Anne Taylor because they are classic and appeal to me. I don't look for trendy, growing, changing, blah blah blah..... I look for quality. If I want trendy I'll go to the H&M or any regular department store brand! There is a huge market for the elegance Laura shows, the subtle free-spiritedness of Uli, even Michael's across the board stuff (he actually showed more "full line" stuff than anyone!).
For those who like Jeffrey and are happy for him, congrats. Ultimately though, save yourself some money. Wait a few months after his line comes out and then check the clearance racks. That is where you'll find his stuff. His designs are not mainstream or high level niche enough to sell and I can foresee a huge sale coming.
You'll also remember Tim saying that he tells his students not to judge from the perspective of what they would wear. To be attached to this perspective would narrow the scope of your designs. Besides who says because it is considered wearable or trendy it's all that. Hammer pants and Lime green Leisure suits need I say more?

The problem with this show and for that matter most of Bravo's shows of this nature is that little blurb that appears in the credits almost too quick for anyone to see it about the producers having an influence over the shows outcome.
Every year we have a villian/a-hole who somehow manages to slip into the finals over and over. They survive at least one close call and maybe more where, aside from their fans, everyone is in agreement they should have been gone. If you showed 100 women the bottom two outfits in the Mom challenge I would be stunned if 5 of them would have picked Jeff's outfit. But his drama value kept him alive in this challenge as well as the party dress challenge and quite possibly caused the final 3 to be expanded to the final 4 because of his milk maid dress.
I think people here have had enough of the shady judging and the double standards that seem to be prevalent. Nina and Kors calling out Laura and Uli and other for same old same old when its still clearly what they do well and not calling out Jeffery but praising him when he does basically the same thing. Same in terms of Kane who was faulted for poor taste but it was never questioned for Jeffery. Hello crotch bling anyone?
I was rooting for Michael and Laura and thought Uli won hands down last night. I really don't like Jeffery but I thought his garbage challenge dress was pretty great. But unfortunately the producers of the show contrived to give us this gutter to glamour story that really is besides the point. Every contestant had an interesting story but the producers chose to make this Project Rehab at every turn. And the bruhaha at the end about the receipts and what not was clearly a joke. Why should Jeff not only get to go over budget but also have missing documentation and not be held accountable? What's to stop every designer from going over budget, see what comes out the best, and then remove what's needed to comply with the rules after you get caught, if you get caught? Sorry but, unless your a blind fanboy/girl of Jeff, were not buying it.
This show is just like every other reality show that chooses to sacrifice the skills of the participants for drama.
You know your introuble when Boxing and the Ultimate Fighting Championship put out reality shows that have exponentially more credibility than Bravo's.

QUOTE re: Laura:
"She has been very nice to the rest of the contestants. Is it because she is mature? Affluent? Mainstream? I don't get your rant. Clue me in... "
I was not one of the ranters, but in contrasting the bad behavior of Jeffrey and Laura, you see that one merely never censors himself and the other is slyly condescending. The behaviors both stem from the same psychological place, but one is honest and confrontational and the other is passive-aggresive. And yes, socio-economic status has a lot to do with the form of the display. Laura did an awful lot of eye-rolling and offered a lot of unsolicited "advice" throughout the season - she was no angel. Competition brings out the worst in some people - and I would count both Jeffrey and Laura in that column.

I stopped posting here and almost stopped watching the show this season.
3 of the final 4 designers will have long careers, if they choose to, and one will have a short lived one. That's just my opinion.
I was not surprised by the winner last night. When I saw the show where Tim went to their homes to see how they were doing on their collections for fashion week I knew then who was going to win. It was a huge telegraph of the winner.
Do I like Jeff's designes, no I don't. They look very K-mart, Wal-Mart, Target to me. There was not one thing in his collection that I would wear.
Uli's was the same thing that has been done in Miami for decades. I am a frequent visitor to Miami through the past 30 years and what she did through out the show and on the final runway was nothing but stuff I have seen for decades in Miami.
Laura could design for Saks, Neimans, etc and have a huge career as long as she does evening wear. She limited herself and lost because of it.
Michael did not do a collection that would stand alone and brought too much street jive to it for the general public. Toned down it would make a great collection.
Actually I did not think any one designer did a collection that would appeal to the masses. There were some really good thing from most.
Not sure I will be back for this next year. It became more about personalities these past two seasons than about fashion to me and I don't watch for the personalities.

Jeffery won because of his talent. You people did not want him to win because of his foul mouth and scary looks. I think his tattoos are wonderful and expressive. He did'nt have a worse mouth than any of the others. They all swore constantly. You just notice Jeffery more because he looks different. As for his collection, it was great! This is not a contest for cookie cutter outfits. The crap you see in the mall, just has a designers name attatched to it. It is not their work. They have teams working on stuff for the masses. Every designer on the show has talent and different tastes. I thought Uli's was beautiful also, but not for me. Laura has had some lovely dresses, but I have no where to wear them. Michales line was way to hoochie momma for me, but yes he is a nice guy. That doesn't mean he should have won. The judges saw something in their choice. And I think it was Jeffery's versatility. He can do mens, he can do womens, he can do funky and he can do pretty. Hell, he could do kids even. My son would love to have something done by him. Don't hate because of his looks. Thats being prejudice. He has a family for a reason. There is something there you dont see, but his wife does and his son doesn't seem to mind because its love that matters.
Jeffery congrats on your win!

Jeffery didn't even have the ability to track his receipts and he didn't know that he was over-budget! What a manager. His clients don't need to be surprised like that. The blond wigs would have shown his taste level, so I wish that he could have used them. LOL!
What a joke!
I had taped it and rewatched it. Uli and Laura received applause during their showing.
Jeffery was even dressed like a dork!
One can almost write these reality shows. They have a token person from each area. Politically correctness wins in the end.
Jeffery, be a man and marry the mom of your child. If you love him so much, how about giving him a secure home? I doubt your personal life because you don't have the ability to show kindness to anyone else. Rather scary...

good points. I think Fern Mallis was correct, Laura is not limited, she is very FOCUSED on her own aesthetic. It didnt pay off on PR, but I think she will have the last laugh, along with Uli.
Michael I am not so sure of. I never truly saw in his designs anything of any particular note, and I tend to think it was his association with Laura that kept his offering classy. Left to his own devices, his stuff is just very limited baby phat crappo stuff.
Also, I think Uli is under rated. Her stuff was almost as beautiful as Laura's stuff, and not as focused.
For me Jeffrey's stuff was pretty good, but not to my taste, and nowhere near the calibre of Laura and Uli. If Laura's stuff was too focused, I will never understand why Uli didn't get the nod. Her collection was superbe.

Jeffrey? Are they insane? His deconstructive rocker look has no general appeal. I didn't like any piece in his collection and I just can't see any non-punker wearing his clothes. And punk is dead. I thought his collection was both ugly and trashy. They spent the entire season complaining about how certain designers lacked range, how their designs don't appeal to most women, etc. Then they choose someone who is extremely limited in both range and apppeal. Whats up?
Uli on the other hand had an AMAZING collection. I would wear any one of her pieces and most women would. Even Heidi said her clothes would appeal to most women. And she overcame the concern the judges have had throughout that she had no range outside of prints.
She is the queen of prints. Prints are so hard to work with and yet she masters them with amazing ease. And now she showed how she can master solids too. The gold and grey pallette was so elegant and her pieces were stunning! Sporty yet elegant.
I am extremely dissapointed in the judge's decision and just cannot fathom how Jeffrey won. There is something behind this show other han design value and that should not be what dicates the outcome.

"Poorly made" was NEVER a criticism given Laura by the runway judges. In fact, every time they told her that they were sick of seeing rethreads of the same designs, they always qualified their comments by admitting how well made each one was. "Exquisite tailoring," etc.
I just wish she would have shifted her point of view a bit. For example: she often said she believed women should be "fabulous," and warned not to fall into the minivan-and-sweats trap. So, for Pete's sake, give.us.a.viable.alternative. Sorry but I'm not going to take children to soccer practice wearing heels, pearls and a low cut cocktail dress. But I'd love to kick it up a notch or two with something cut really nice and in a washable fabric. Give me something fabulous for every day!
If she'd only given her models THAT concept: say, Being Fabulous Throughout The Day or something like that, it would've given her collection the range it so desperately needed.

What are you implying, that good manners and decency are Old Fashioned? Not true, look at Tim Gunn. Everyone here seems to respect and admire him, he IS a gentleman.

I think Laura will eventually broaden her focus, but there is absolutely no reason for her to design sweats or anything for soccer moms. Why bother with a designer for the mundane chores of life? Laura designs an exhuberant, gorgeous, formal range of eveningwear for various ages and tastes. I ask nothing more of her. I will cry the day she starts designing things for bowling and soccer and shopping. Just throw on something fabulous from banana republic for things like that.

{You have seen high fashion runway shows haven't you?
RARELY does anything come straight off the runway to the consumer.
Almost everything is down sized and modified to fit retail. }
This poster OSCARSIMON grasps the fashion business and knows what they are talking about. I said the same thing, but other people just can't seem to understand that point. Rarely do clothing items go straight from runway to store shelves. Ideas from pieces are used to make new collections. Fresh, artistic, innovative concepts are what define future trends. All of you Jeffrey haters out there might want to remember that the next time you purchase clothing at your favorite stores. Could be that some of these pieces might have been inspired by his work and you might not even know it
As far as Laura, nothing she did was new. As my favorite band would sing "Same Old Song and Dance". Obsessive Compulsive beading, feathering and furring of dresses doesn't make her talented.

I've been a huge fan of Project Runway since season 1. Now, I don't think I'll ever watch again. I've watched last night's episode 3 times and I cannot understand how Jeffery won. If I read the word "innovative" attributed to him one more time I may have to vomit. His stuff looks like that crap that (barely) passes for "fashion" at Target. Anybody besides Jeffery should have won last night. Uli's was breathtaking. Laura's was elegant. Michael's was current.
Jeffery's was crap. It has nothing to do with his lousy personality or his questionable choice of body art. His stuff looks cheap and common.

I live in California, travel a lot for my job, but I see Jeffrey's clothes everywhere I go in Calif. You simply must see the workmanship...he makes great pants for men and women...sensational. I am not all that young but I could wear his things and be comfortable. Jennifer Lopez and so many others do as well. I say we should all live a little. Life is too short not to have fun with fashion and be daring. I work in parts of the world where fashion is not even considered. Living from day to day is. So go for it and give Jeff a chance.
I think that is my biggest complaint about Jeffrey even being a "contestant", it sounds as though he already had a successful business on the West Coast.
Nonetheless, I'm happy for him, even though I was not a supporter, I still like Laura's line, but he won and that's the end. Be happy for ALL of them, they all have designing careers ahead of them!

I agree, the creator of Olympus Fashion Week (I'm sorry I don't remember her name) was the most realistic and the most encouraging and the least egotistical.
Laura, Uli and Michael made clothes that can actually be worn.
And about Laura (and Michael) calling him out...at least she had the integrity and backbone to tell him to his face so he didn't have to hear it from anyone else first. She seemed like more of a business person than the rest.
One more thing.....Nina, get a decent haircut! Your hair is always in your face, which, pardon me if I'm too blunt, makes the fact that you are slightly buck toothed more obvious. And wear something besides t-shirts.

I honestly have to say that I will not be watching this show again. This is the reason why.
The judges (as most folks in the fashion world) are completely out of touch with reality. Why is it that what they think is beautiful and innovative is completely the opposite of what the viewers like? Aren't we the ones the patronize these designers? The grunge look is so 1992. HELLO!
The entire season has angered me with their decision making. Vincent should have NEVER gotten as far as he did. He is a lousy designer with absolutely no talent. THEN to top it off they have the nerve to choose Jeffrey. THERE IS NOT ONE GARMENT THAT I WOULD HAVE PURCHASED IN JEFFREY'S COLLECTION. THERE WAS NOTHING ATTRACTIVE OR BEAUTIFUL ABOUT IT. I COULD HAVE FOUND THE SAME THINGS IN A SECOND HAND STORE!
I could have stomached this if Uli had of been selected because her line was beautiful...but I still say ( and just like everyone said that voted last night) that Michael is clearly superior to ANY of the designers in the finals. I would have purchased EVERYTHING in his collection.
I can't understand where these judges are coming from. Nina Garcia should not be the fashion editor of ELLE and I have completely lost respect for Michael Kors. Heidi, you just lost one of your biggest fans, FOR GOOD!
Ok, it's all a matter of opinion, have we not established this yet? I, personally, would NEVER wear a garment made by Michael, I thought his designs atrocious, but again, that is my OPINION. I would have worn many of Jeff's (again, my opinion) they certainly are NOT grunge...not certain where that comment came from. Grunge was a sort of "dirty" look, hence the word "grunge", I saw nothing of the sort in Jeff's collection. In my OPINION, it was the only collection that was cohesive. Uli's clothes were beautiful, but we'd seen almost every one at one time or another through-out the competition. I'm sure this has got to be the main reason she didn't win. Laura's collection, while beautiful, has to be questioned from a design aspect-again IMO-was it truly designer or just extremely well sewn? Judge bashing again-are there that many posters out there who are qualified to judge a design collection (and don't you have anything better to do than sit on this Bravo message board?)!
On another note (not a reply to above quote):
As for Jeff going over budget-the wigs took him over, they were not used, and they were not part of the materials used to make clothing, so why not? As for questioning (as I've seen some commentors do) paying $50 for a wig (hence the $600.00), what era are you living in?
IMO-I can't stress it enough, my OPINION-Bravo is eating all this up!

Sorry, but it's the designers who have "edge" who do something unconventional that keeps the fashion industry turning, starting new trends. Jeffey's customer is known as what is called an "Experiencer"-she's the first to try an new style that often the masses don't get until it works it's way up the fashion chain and becomes a trend and possibly in time a classic of tommorow! So don't knock Jeffry's style - it could be
what you'll be sporting five years from now!

This is ridiculous that Jeffrey won. His collection didn't even bring one wow from me. Most of his designs made the models look pregnant and with sagging breasts. I feel that at least the other three designers had their clothes fit well to the model's bodies. Jeffrey's collection was even worse than Santino's collection from season two. Even though Laura's collection was limited, I will at least buy some of her designs. On the other hand I will never buy any of Jeffrey's designs.
Uli had a great collection and a good range. Not all of her collection was fancy exaggerating prints. I think she should have definitely won. And that goes to not only her collection but also her personality.
On top of just the collection turn outs...Jeffrey CHEATED!!! He went over budget and all that the producers did was gave him a slap on the wrist and said ok never do that again and let him go. He just had to take something out of the collection that will put him within budget?!! It's like cheating on the exam on question and the teacher catches you but he will just not count that question on his exam. Try doing that in real life and see if you will really get away with it. He should have had a greater consequence to his illegal behavior.
Besides everything there....I totally support Michael...but he really messed up his collection. I really wish I could have told him that those prints are definitely a no no before he made those outfits. ::Sigh::

Jeffery won because of his talent. You people did not want him to win because of his foul mouth and scary looks. I think his tattoos are wonderful and expressive. He did'nt have a worse mouth than any of the others. They all swore constantly. You just notice Jeffery more because he looks different. As for his collection, it was great! This is not a contest for cookie cutter outfits. The crap you see in the mall, just has a designers name attatched to it. It is not their work. They have teams working on stuff for the masses. Every designer on the show has talent and different tastes. I thought Uli's was beautiful also, but not for me. Laura has had some lovely dresses, but I have no where to wear them. Michales line was way to hoochie momma for me, but yes he is a nice guy. That doesn't mean he should have won. The judges saw something in their choice. And I think it was Jeffery's versatility. He can do mens, he can do womens, he can do funky and he can do pretty. Hell, he could do kids even. My son would love to have something done by him. Don't hate because of his looks. Thats being prejudice. He has a family for a reason. There is something there you dont see, but his wife does and his son doesn't seem to mind because its love that matters.
Jeffery congrats on your win!
Well said!

Jeffery didn't even have the ability to track his receipts and he didn't know that he was over-budget! What a manager. His clients don't need to be surprised like that. The blond wigs would have shown his taste level, so I wish that he could have used them. LOL!
What a joke!
I had taped it and rewatched it. Uli and Laura received applause during their showing.
Jeffery was even dressed like a dork!
One can almost write these reality shows. They have a token person from each area. Politically correctness wins in the end.
Jeffery, be a man and marry the mom of your child. If you love him so much, how about giving him a secure home? I doubt your personal life because you don't have the ability to show kindness to anyone else. Rather scary...
Judges you were drunk!
Jeffrey had applause during his showing. Just some editing fun by the producers.
My question is how on earth can you label this the PC choice. Are you kidding? DO you know what being politcally correct means? This is so anti-PC of a choice. I could see if they chose Uli someone could say that, but Jeffrey? PC?

"Poorly made" was NEVER a criticism given Laura by the runway judges. In fact, every time they told her that they were sick of seeing rethreads of the same designs, they always qualified their comments by admitting how well made each one was. "Exquisite tailoring," etc.
I just wish she would have shifted her point of view a bit. For example: she often said she believed women should be "fabulous," and warned not to fall into the minivan-and-sweats trap. So, for Pete's sake, give.us.a.viable.alternative. Sorry but I'm not going to take children to soccer practice wearing heels, pearls and a low cut cocktail dress. But I'd love to kick it up a notch or two with something cut really nice and in a washable fabric. Give me something fabulous for every day!
If she'd only given her models THAT concept: say, Being Fabulous Throughout The Day or something like that, it would've given her collection the range it so desperately needed.
Very well stated. Show us a line that we can wear at different times and do different occassions. That is one of the reasons the judges liked Jeffrey. I think if Laura did that she may have come out on top.

Sorry, but it's the designers who have "edge" who do something unconventional that keeps the fashion industry turning, starting new trends. Jeffey's customer is known as what is called an "Experiencer"-she's the first to try an new style that often the masses don't get until it works it's way up the fashion chain and becomes a trend and possibly in time a classic of tommorow! So don't knock Jeffry's style - it could be
what you'll be sporting five years from now!
WAY TO GO JEFFRY!!
FINALLY! Someone who knows what they're talking about.
No one is knocking Laura and Uli's designs. They are beautiful.
Its just not what you want in an innovative up and coming designer.
you mean "FINALLY!! someone who agrees with me"!

I can't believe he won. I am so sick of his language...even when he won he had to use language that is bleeped on the television. He may be talented but he has no class whatsoever. I would not be surprised if he loses some clients that he currently has over the vile language he has used throughout this show.
Wow...can you hear us all the way back there in the 50's?
What are you implying, that good manners and decency are Old Fashioned? Not true, look at Tim Gunn. Everyone here seems to respect and admire him, he IS a gentleman. Maybe that's the problem with this generation, they don't understand that speaking the English language correctly, showing respect and having decency and good manners NEVER goes out of style. It's call "Class" honey!
Did you ever consider that if the editors did not want the foul language and disrespect in the program, they could have editted it out or redone the scene ? Even the crowd favorite, Michael, called his icon Pam "Mother********" Grier". Laura was quite adept at calling other designers A******. Many people use foul language, some just use it more often than others. As for manners and decency, they have not gone out of style. Not everyone in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s had manners and showed common decency - why get bent out of shape when a few don't show it now ?
