YAY so frickin' glad to see Jeff not disqualified! A pity about the shorts but at least he thought ahead and started making a skirt. Oh and Laura is such a bitch. I don't know about her planet, but where I live accusing someone of having outside help is the same thing as questioning their integrity. Bitch, bitch, bitch.
Opinion on collections:
Jeffrey: Loved it all except for the two blue floaty ones. I would NEVER wear that sort of style myself but really appreciated it - it had such a great point of view and looked fabulous, really really innovative. But all his models couldn't walk!!! They were so stilted!
Uli: Almost perfect... it looked so professional and her models were the only ones I thought that could actually walk. That dress which ripped off to become a bikini was fantastic! Loved a lot of it, but the clash between the neutral and print thing was a bit weird.
Laura: Hated it all. She was trying to go for the 'classy' look, but it didn't like like 'modern vintage', it looked like 'old vintage' or 'failed attempt at vintage'. None of it looked cool, none of it looked 'young' or even remotely flattering. Fail, fail!
Michael: Oh michael what happened? A lot of it looked pretty trashy...like he just didn't know where to draw the line. Not a lot of variety in there as well? It kinda all looked the same.
Opinion afterwards: I knew Michael and Laura were out for sure. Wasn't sure who would win... I thought Jeffrey's collection was FABULOUS and GREAT but especially with the model thing and going over budget, Uli's came off a lot more professional. I came to the pre-results conclusion that Uli probably had the best chance of winning, but I WANTED Jeffrey to win.
I was totally nervous prior to results coming out, tapping my leg and everything... the suspense! And then Jeffrey won! YAY YAY YAY! One of the best winners ever, I think. Such a fabulous collection.
End thoughts - why the hell can't 75% of their models walk? they even managed to pull in the creator of fashion week as a judge, can't they pull in more half-decent models?
