Nerovh, I missed the show so please spill...did Keith make another swatch outfit? And got nasty with the judges, huh? ITA about Blayne. What a bummer if he ended up in the finals. I'm definitely not a designer, hell, I can barely sew on a button, but I'm not impressed with anything he's done so far. I've mostly liked Terri's designs and Joe's. But as for a fave? No one yet.

For me Korto's coat was the best tonight but I can live with the winner. As soon as Keith opened his mouth to spout off to the judges I said oh you are so going home. I'm glad I was right.

No swatch outfit from Keith tonight; instead he decided to go conservative for this challenge--which was specifically aimed at **innovation** (designs made from auto parts). He also was determined to show the judges he could do "clean" work--and yet his garment had finishing problems in the back--so both NOT innovative ("no concept") and NOT trim and "clean". And he further blamed his lack of success on his model (who sat down and tore the skirt) and the judges' previous criticisms (for turning him conservative). I actually liked Korto's best.

Thanks, Beth. I'm sure it'll replay again tonight before I finally fall asleep. Insomniac here, so I usually watch my Bravo shows in the early a.m. hours. Even Million $$ Listing is better than informercials...barely

Pamy, I know what you mean.. a bit zombie like, but her dress was well done. Korto did a great job.

Actually, I find Leanne quite refreshing for her somewhat mousey behavior. Its so much easier to deal with than all the brash egos we get so used to seeing. And, I really liked her dress this time too.

Did Leanne win? And yay! I'm glad Keith is gone. Those swatch outfits were getting bor-ring! And if he mouthed off to the judges, then he totally deserved to go! Can't wait to watch this episode this weekend!

My husband -- who is NOT a fashionista! -- said that he would like to see a runway show where a model wearing Korto's coat slipped it off to reveal Leanne's dress underneath. (He wanted both of them to win last night.)

I would have loved Korto's coat more if I had not already seen garments made that way, out of woven seatbelts. There is an artsy store at the Reston Town Center that sells handbags made that way, also. They are interesting but WAY more expensive than you would think (like in the $300 range.)

For anyone who missed it, Keith actually complained to Michael Kors about all the previous criticism, and he said, "There's critism, and then there's insults." I think he was referring to when Michael said that drag outfit looked like a sad chicken. But Keith was sporting an atitude during the whole show, towards the other designers and towards his model. He just acted like an all-around pill, saying how he knew they all thought they were there to win but he just felt like he "deserved" it more than others. He didn't seem to understand the concept that the best designer is who deserves to win, and he was NOT the best designer.

I actually have one of the seatbelt bags. They are so cool. They were started by a husband and wife in Orange County. The company is Harveys and they are indestructable! I was laughing when watching last night because I watched the coat being made and said, that is just like my purse. They weave together the straps just like she did but I loved how she took it further and made a coat out of it!

Kellsma, I've seen articles about that couple and the seatbelt bags, here in Orange County, probably in The Register. I liked the jacket. Seems to me that I usually am impressed with Korto's work and design. And sometimes I just shake my head at some of the outfits they wear themselve and just remember last night liking the top of Korto's.. top or dress.. just liking that detail a bunch.

Has Tim ever designed? I'd like to see what he could do.

Alisons, I agree. Those seatbelt purses were all the rage last Christmas and continue to be popular. I about died when I heard the price for them, it's crzy!!! Apparently the ones made with Mercedes Benz belts are even more expensive. It's a clever idea but no where near 300.00 worth! of course, I usually spend 25.00 on a purse! lol

You can get the purses for much less then 300,00 and they are pretty indestructable so they last for a very long time. I love mine. Seamonkey, I was on Main St by Main Place Mall today and saw thier OC store across the street from Main Place Mall but I did not have time to stop in. Wonder if we will be seeing coats from them soon.......

Probably you can get the seatbelt bags for less, but the only ones I have seen were in a high end artsy store where everything is very cool but very expensive. It is called Artcraft and it is located in Reston Town Center in Reston, VA. (I can walk to it from my house, I live right in the town center.)

PS. Just checked ebay and you can get them for approximately $60 - $150 on there, just search on "seatbelt bag" and a bunch of Harvey's listings come up.
