ARGH! I want to look so badly, but I have to resist the temptation!

thanks for the link doodle.....

I agree. Leanne's was my favorite. And it seemed to be the most cohesive collection.

Priest, that's always the tricky part...

Even though looking at the photos won't give anything away about who the finalists are (we don't know) - it 'gives away' the collections.

There were some really interesting pieces from all of the designers...

I dont mind peeking because it's a totally different than the runway. In season 2, everyone was gaga over Santino's collection online, and making fun of Chloe Dao's 80's soap opera collection looked lame.

But "walking" down the runway, Santino's stuff looked ill fitting and not flattering at all and Chloe's were made beautifully and looked better in motion.

Ya never know, but I admire your restraint Priest, and sorry to dangle the carrot...I mean, well, you know what I mean.

My favorites are Leanne's and Korto's. The long green dress in Korto's collection is stunning..that neckline is sublime.

I'd say Korto is second, and I may love her stuff going down the runway...and she had Bianca and Danielle from ANTM in her show!

I loved Leanne's collection as well. Stunning.

Korto did some wonderful stuff as well, as did Jerell.

I thought Kenley's collection was alright, and I hated Joe and Suede's.

Wait all 6 of them showed? I didn't even look at Suede's.

What is it with the America's Next Top Model rejects always showing in the PR shows?

Bianca was so awful during ANTM but yet she's walked in the past three PR shows.

[BNN]

I spotted Bianca as well as Danielle from ANTM.
Also, I think Nazri and Amanda (Kayne's model) made an appearance)

All 6 showed because as of Wednesday's episode 6 designers still remained, so naturally they couldn't show the top 3/4 that make it to the finals, so everyone presents a collection for security's sake.

And my money's on Leanna but I did like Korto. Kenley's was OK but I didn't think it was anything super-special.

Did the show start later this year, or was Fashion Week earlier? Because in the past it was always only the top 3 showing, right? Or am I wrong about that?

[commasplice]

It's supposed to only be the top 3 (and the top 3 is all they'll show when the finale airs), but because the show is still a few weeks away from that, they had the remaining contestants (as of last week's episode) all present so that people wouldn't know who the top 3 are. They did that last year, too -- Christian, Jillian, Rami, Chris, and Sweet P all presented collections at Fashion Week.

I understand the secrecy thing, but at the same time, I think it cheapens it for the three designers who actually earned it, since the reward for the top 3 who made it that far is supposed to be showing a collection at Fashion Week, not the top 3 and the 3 runners-up.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 9/13/08 at 4:29pm

I don't understand why they can't just time the show to where it has 3 designers left at fashion week.

Last season was well timed.

SPOILERS ABOUT THE COLLECTIONS BELOW














Did anyone notice how it seemed like some of the collections had wedding dresses. Seude, Leanne, Korto, and Kenley all had something that could be considered a wedding dress. Somebody at Projectrungay brought it up, and I think it's interesting. Could this be an indication on who may be in the final four?

I am sorry to see Joe go.

But, I think his design for this challenge was a mistake, so he was the right one to be eliminated this week. On balance, however, I'm sorry to see him go.

Especially because I LOVED his runway collection, and am sorry that it won't be broadcast.

Kenley is no longer amusing. I was able to put up with her 'self-confidence' for most of the series, and even found her style somewhat enjoyable, but now she's crossed the line. Her laughing out loud during the judges comments about Joe's outfit was uncalled for. Enough! She's a brat who is a one-note designer.

I continue to love Leanne. Her outfit for this challenge wasn't the right look for a teacher, but I liked it. I find her to be really intriguing.

Suede is likely going to be the next to go. He keeps squeaking by. He's boring at this point, and his work, on balance, has been under-whelming.

My prediction for the Final Three is now: Leanne, Korto and Kenley. With misgivings about Kenley.

Addy, re Kenley, I wonder if you noticed that when Tim was making the rounds and giving feedback to the designers, he asked Kenley "Can I tell you something?" and she shrugged. Later she mentioned to the camera that she wasn't going to listen to what Tim tells her.

I'm thinking she won't win, since they're focusing so much on her self assuredness that she's the best.

Every week she seems to say that she wasn't impressed by anyone else's design.

I do think she has talent though.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 9/17/08 at 10:42pm

Jane, I did notice that. And it was a 'turn off' for me. Honestly - who does she think she is?!

But, she does have talent... although I really think she won't win.

(full disclosure: I was at the Fashion Show in Bryant Park, and saw the collections.)

I would love to see what she could do if she broke out of her mold a bit...

(ps, Jane - love your avatar!)

OOOOH,you were at the show! How fabulous!

How did her stuff look in person?

thanks for liking the av!

[NYadgal]

Posted: 9/17/08 at 10:52pm

In person her collection was... whimsical and inspired by fantasy.

Tonight really made me think the Top Three is going to be all the remaining women, I just think Leanne, Korto, and Kenley are simply the best people (maybe of the season...?) left and after seeing all the collections it seems to make the most sense and would make for a very close finish.

Also, I believe ProjectRungay brought up something about model differences with the final collections that means something relevant but I'm not sure what haha. And I'm very jealous of you NYadgal.

addy, I agree with you. Kenley is talented--I'll give her that--but she's not really unique. She seems to think that she's the only designer to have EVER been inspired by vintage fashion. In fact, I think SHE thinks she invented it. There have been arrogant designers on the show that I have loved (Christian, Santino, etc.) so I can deal with a difficult personality, but I simply can't stomach this girl. She thinks she's above criticism, she's pouty, immature, rude and irritating. I'd rather see Jerrell in the top three. Korto and Leanne certainly belong there.

[CMoore]

Posted: 9/18/08 at 1:10am

Kenley is a BRAT, geez. I liked her a lot in the beginning. I think she is definitely talented, but please show some respect. The way she responds to criticism, why are you participating in a reality show competition? I LOVE Korto's attitude, she is great. Though I'm not a huge fan of their work, I miss Stella and Blayne's comments.

[Roninjoey]

Posted: 9/18/08 at 1:29am

I hate Kenley. I've hated her for a while but my hate only grows with each passing week.

[verynewyorkcurious]

Posted: 9/18/08 at 2:59am

Same here. I like Kenley less and less each episode.

This was the first time I loved something that Jerrell designed. I was pretty much underwhelmed with what everyone else designed.

Suede has extremely bad taste. I have no idea how he's made it this far.
