[sorry I think you are right, that is the only one that I can recall all 3 saying that they did not like. I think Fern mallis never said that, only as you say, that two of the dresses did not seem to belong in the collection. Frankly I thought they were both fine. I was not especially crazy about the floor length dress that they did hate but I didnt think it was awful. I have it recorded on DVD so I will watch it.

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.

---

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.

Project Runway just affirms my belief that fashion is no longer about making women look beautiful, it has become a hedonistic artform. Models are merely coat hangers with heads.

The dress stands alone as an independent piece of art, the woman wearing it is secondary.

Decades ago, fashion was about designing clothes to make women appear more elegant, adventurous, sexy, chic. Think Chanel. The fashions women wore made a statement about her; now designers create fashion to make a statement about themselves.

It doesn't matter if it looks good on only six women living on the planet -- this is deemed to be fashionable for almost everyone. If it doesn't look good on you, that is your fault.

And this is what passes for style. Even if it doesn't translate into something wearable for women, it is deemed "good", "worthy" and even "desirable."

What percentage of fashionable women in America would choose anything out of Jeffery's line over Uli's or Laura's? The MODELS didn't even look good in it.

The judges COMPLAINED that Laura's work was "impeccable" and that her designs were timeless and classic. Her construction was perfect. Most had hours of hand work. Laura's designs were the stuff of fashion back when it was about excellence.

Make no mistake -- the judges are telling us that fashion is no longer about quality. It is no longer about luxurious fabrics (think of Jeffrey's picnic basket evening gown). It is no longer about owning a piece to enhance your wardrobe and be worn for years to come.

And it certainly is no longer about making women look beautiful.

This poster said exactly what I've been thinking and even wrote to a fellow PR fan... that Jeffery's clothes are about HIM and the statement he wants to make instead of being about the WOMAN.

Jeffery's may be art (not my taste tho) but they are not anything most women would wear. Who wants to look like a freak show. The classic styles are classic for a reason.... because they look good.

I'm done with PR, no longer a fan.

I cant see the average women wearing Laura clothes. As she said in stead of jeans wear a black t-shirt dress to the store. Yeah I see that all in WalMart, even at the mall. Women in black t-shirt dresses. No. Uli I have said it before have seen that look in South Fl as that is where I am from. Well that is where I grew up and still have family there. I really thought the 2 guys would be left standing. Yes Micheals was OK I did like a couple of his things. Remember the guest judge even said Uli's was RESORT WEAR. Enough said. Get ready for season 4. I pick Tim Gunn to win that one. lol

---

Jayfan do you think the average woman would wear Jeffreys stuff? You are misguided.

Read the reviews. ALL the women would wear Lauras or Uli's stuff. Why does anyone need a designer to make clothes for going to Walmart? But at least Laura has the right idea, American women need to start wearing stylish clothes and leave the sweats at the gym.

If I want high fashion, Ill choose Laura or Uli any day. If I want to go to walmart, I will not be wearing a designers clothes. I will definitely wear riding clothes before jeans.

---

There are designers at Walmart, Kmart, and Target. Just because you wouldn't wear the clothes sold there, doesn't mean that the clothes weren't designed. There is a certain taste level that is associated with the big three; some of the clothes I would wear, some I wouldn't. But you see ads all the time showing that "so and so" is now designing for KMart.

Impressionist painters, when they first exhibited their paintings were reviled - Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cezane, Manet. In the art world, there are those who paint pretty pictures (Uli, Laura) and those who bring an art form forward into new, innovative territory (Jeffery). Like the members of the French Academe, who denigrated the Impressionists, those who only look for "pretty" will degrade Jeffery's talent.

He is innovative, fresh, forward thinking, and a thoughtful business man (and business acumen is part of the mix determining who wins) and completely deserved to win.

On another topic about Jeffery/Laura (who is the villian) Jeffery says what I've thought for quite a while. Laura is a wonderful talented seamstress, and within her narrow category quite talented, but she is not America's complete sweetheart (although I think she's a mom I'd love to have had, full of love and joy and fun)...she is a competitive person, willing to try to psyche out a fellow competitor, and sometimes her "seriously ugly" side comes out.


Jeffery's words about Laura and her unfounded accustations (about which, he was a true gentleman on the last episode):
I was not angry, but I was peeved. I thought, “Oh man, we have a week. We could be celebrating this whole thing. We could be helping each other out.” There were models that weren’t going to be showing up. And we were all talking about, “Well, if yours doesn’t show up, you can maybe use some of mine.” And you know, I wanted there to be a camaraderie, but …. … I think Laura was genuinely threatened, and I don’t think she knew what she was looking at. I think that if Laura spent less time on the blogs, and more time reading over the rules and googling pleating services and finishing, she might not feel like somebody had one up on her. Thing is, Laura would call me. Four times in two and a half months. Almost on a schedule. The first three times she called me, it was to tell me about the blogs she was reading and about how the bloggers hate me. “How you doing?” “Good.” “Good, good. Man, those bloggers hate you.” A week later, “Man those bloggers hate you.” Another week later… And the last time she called, she said, “You must be incredibly busy. Are all your sewers sewing everything for you?” That Laura seemed to be obsessed with me. Obsessed. And she actually said to me, “I’m your friend.” And I said, “I’m not your friend,” and she said, “Well I had a problem with you.” And she didn’t really go into it, but who knew, why would you have a problem with me? What’s your problem with me? I don’t have a problem with you. Or anybody else. I may not like what you do or like the way you act. But what she was saying, was, “There’s something not right about you and I’m the authority on what is right and what is wrong, and I’m going to check you out.” And that was crazy to me. … made a point to go to her house with Jay McCarroll and Malan and Uli -- to watch the reunion show at her house, and you know, I don’t trust her. I don’t know...Not that she could do anything to me ever, but the way she attacked me was so petty and weird and unfounded. Really unfounded, she seemed to be delusional, that what she thought what was going on would be reality. It’s just a big waste of time. But I think you have to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. So -- you know, go watch TV at her house. She has beautiful kids, and I love her husband. He’s really a nice guy. Really smart, really funny.

And it just didn’t turn out to be that. And I was upset. I was not angry, but I was peeved. I thought, “Oh man, we have a week. We could be celebrating this whole thing. We could be helping each other out.” There were models that weren’t going to be showing up.

Yes, and they were wearing high waist dresses (even before they were showing from their pregnancies!)

If you say so - - but I'm not really sure what the point is here.

I originally was only stating that empire waists and baby dolls are hot right now - in response to a post about Jeffrey's designs.

I'm not sure why someone would want to turn this into a competition.

I really don't understand the judges. Jeffrey's stuff made even rail thin models look fat! What normal woman would want to wear that stuff? They also said they didn't like his two blue dresses so they didn't even like his entire collection. Heidi says all of Laura's is stunning and looks like a $30,000 collection. She also says she would wear everything Uli made and Nina says Uli's stuff is great and will sell for sure. So why vote for the really strange looking stuff almost no one will wear? Do they only consider it fashion if it looks weird? Or do the editors cut out so much stuff that we get every comment out of context?

---

They said - they didn't think the 2 blue dress were cohesive with the collection.

They did not say they did not like the dresses.

---

Actually they said they were horrible dresses. At least Fern Mallis did, and she has ten times more credence in the fashion industry than Heidi or Nina.

i see people saying that Laura had every right to bring it up if she thought he cheated, but before she seen his collection she said she wanted to win if nothing else so jeffery dont, so she was out for him, then like the judges pointed out the fact that it would have taken a ALOT of time for her (with 5 kids and preg no less) to sew ALL them beads on her dresses, hmmmmmm i wounder why LAURA was so quick to think that Jeff needed help

---

I don't think anyone doubts that Laura sewed "all them beads" herself,.... please.
