Project Runway Finale

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

She definitely wasn't my choice either...to much of a one hit wonder.

I was voting for Leighanne all the way. I know she did "petals" in her collection but I think that was her way of creating a cohesive collection because really, the entire season she did architectually unique, nit-picked designs like pleats, ruffles, etc, in muted colors. That is her asthetic.

I thought Korto's was beautiful and I could totally see that final green dress at an Oscar's ceremony. She was VERY smart to intriduce her bead-work to the show because if anything maybe she will be offered a job in jewelry!

Kenleys was impressive as well, almost Betsey Johnson-ish.

I couldn't help but miss Jarel! I didn't think it was fair the way he went home last time.

I am happy Leeanne won because I think she's the only one who deserved it. She was consistently the best on the show this season. That being said, this season was the biggest snore ever and I was really disappointed. No one blew me away like in the past seasons. Korto's collection was really good too. I just hate Kenley and I knew she'd never win w/her horrible attitude.

From what they showed in the first part of the finale I thought I disliked Korto's collection the most and liked Kenley's the best. But on the runway show some of Kenley's stuff was rather funky and I liked EVERYTHING Korto put out. So I was dissapointed Korto didn't win!

Leanne's I did not like very much. Maybe if she laid off the petals a bit! Like Nina said, if she had 40 looks would ALL of them have petals? It was a too much!

In all, this season was pretty boring.

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

Go Judy Noodles!! I am glad that she won

To be honest, I was disappointed in all of them. Leanne's was boring--boring colors, boring theme, boring everything. Kenley's was copycat, and even then I only liked 3 out of 10 outfits. I liked Korto's best but even then, she didn't blow me away.

What a disappointing season. Does anyone know if this was Project Runway's final season?

kmd · Kate Spade

I read today that PR will be moving to Lifetime and the new season will start in January 2009. So, I'm pretty happy about that. Let's hope it's a better season, cause this one was underwhelming.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................

Oh, I'm sorry! I've been asleep since I turned on Wednesday night's finale! Oops! I really didn't care as long as Kenley didn't win. I think Leanne and Korto are both talented.

ditto except for Kenley -- I felt the majority of her pieces were garish (but I did like the cream oriental dress with the line of hand painted flowers.) I would have much rather seen Jarel up there instead of her. I really loved some of Jarel's pieces during the competition (especially the zodiac one (was it scorpio?)) I really liked his juxtaposition of rough textures against sparkle. As far as performance over the season, I feel he deserved to be up there much more than Kenley, regardless of her attitude...

D, I fell in love with Kenley's cream oriental dress! Unfortunately, that girl has one of the worst attitudes ever.

Overall, I am happy that Leanne won, as I think she proved to be the most consistently good designer. I liked her final collection, and it was very cohesive...but maybe too cohesive.

I think all three ladies were definately the best of the whole group but no one really stood out, as in past seasons.

I agree 100% with D. Kenley's design were way to costumey for me and I was not a fan of her collection (except the wedding dress was kinda cool).

I adored koto and leighann, I thought both were beautiful and totally unique - which I really loved.

Honestly I would have worn both of there designs!

I did really like scorpio, but that was Leighanne. Jarel was a fave until that wedding dress episode... he needed to edit! Hopefully we'll see big things from him.
