I would definitely say that Kenley has a talent for cocktail dresses, because all her models look like they should be drinking martinis!

That blue dress of Leanne's is very beautiful. I also love this short one she did:

Newsday has a short article on the Leanne win, but more interesting on the same page is a video interview with Jillian Lewis from last year.

It's interesting to hear Jillian comment on Leanne's and Korto's collections (she was convinced that one of the two of them would win), and also when asked who she thought of the other 4 presenting at fashion week would make the finals, she said "Kenley". Wow, spot on, Jillian!
Also interesting to hear that Jillian has had two "limited edition" collections out for sale, and that she intends her big commercial debut will be Fashion Week next fall (hmm, a year from now?).

I loved Leanne's clothes especially the colors. One comment from the judges that I think helped Leanne get the win over Korto and that all future final 3 contestants on Project Runway should pay attention to is that Leanne had a long dress, a short dress, pants, shorts, a jacket and separates. She kept her theme and showed versatility.

I loved Leanne's collection but I wasn't fond of the clunky shoes.

I was thinking the same thing about Leeanns hair.It looks so dirty.I cant for the life of me understand how someone could go on TV and appear as one of the featured designers at a top show and not put on alittle make-up and run a brush thru thier hair.

This is my first year to watch the show-and Im a middle aged fashion clueless person.That being said, I do not see how most of those designs on the final show relates to real life.I liked Kyotos designs best from the start-I could actually see myself wearing some of them.Leeanns were my least favorite,I just dont "get" those wave thingys.I love her evening gown but everything else was just too out there.

I'm stunned that a favorite of mine from the beginning not only held on to the end, but won this thing! Wow, that just never happens!

I too would have been happy with a Korto win as well. Might have had to throw something at the TV if Kenley had won. Her talent will get her nowhere if she doesn't grow up a bit and take real ownership for her failures. She's been seen on nationwide TV now as someone with an attitude and no respect for anyone. If she can openly disrespect a panel of judges, she's certain to not hold back and disrespect a client. No way would I buy from her.

I thought it was telling that Kenley seemed to acknowledge her bratty behavior and awareness of same when they learned that Tim Gunn was stepping in as a judge and she said "maybe I shouldn't have been so...".. of course she wasn't too respectful to the other judges all along.

I guess that was her sister with her parents.. they are just dead ringers for each other looks wise!

It is sort of too bad that they don't offer some sort of makeover day for the designers (some might really fight it) like they do for the Hell's Kitchen group at some point.. it could be sone in conjunction with a photo shoot just as HK does and would at least give them a hint of what their potential is. Leanne is a really cute girl and while I just overlook her "look" she could definitely "show" better than she does.

Looks like Kenley's wedding dress has the highest bid of the three collections, but Leanne's overall average is higher.

that model has the worst legs, her knees are knocking and her ears are sticking way out. I swear I will never understand how they pick runway models

Now Leanne has the highest bid of $850 for this dress:


Kenley's wedding dress is at $680:


I can't help it, but this still reminds me of the outfit Bjork wore and Ellen spoofed.

She does have sort of a "Spock look," Pamy.

I don't know if that's been posted yet or not, but it's the clothing pieces that Leanne sold on etsy prior to Project Runway.

Ever since someone here pointed that out, it's all I see, too! ROFL! I keep looking for the swan's head!

Poor Bjork! She went from being considered an innovative artist to being the girl who wore the strangled swan dress. lol, but I still feel sort of bad for her.

Does Leanne's stuff remind anyone else of folded cloth napkins, folded up and sewed onto the dresses?

Nope.

But Bjork was so happy in the swan dress!

b

And


quote:

Singer BJORK insists the infamous swan dress she wore to the OSCARS in 2001 was meant as a joke.

The Icelandic star, whose track I'VE SEEN IT ALL from movie DANCER IN THE DARK was nominated as Best Original Song in 2000, shocked crowds with the outfit which even laid eggs along the red carpet.

Bjork explains, "Well, I did bring eggs. Six of them that I left all over the red carpet. Come on, you don't bring eggs unless you want to take the p***, right?

"I was actually amazed at how many people thought I was serious. I didn't mean to cause a riot.

"It was really funny because the security guards would pick them up and run after me with their walkie-talkies saying, 'Excuse me, miss, you dropped this.'"

I think "take the piss," which is British slang for "make a joke"....:-)
