Project Runway Week 12!

It's week 12- the final challenge!
In true Project Runway style, the designers bombed their final challenge before Bryant Park. Also in Project Runway style, 4 designers are creating collections for Fashion Week! However, only three will make it there. All four designers are up for elimination. Da da da da!
This week, the designers headed off to the New York Botanical Gardens where they took pictures of plants and flowers. Then they each chose a photograph to serve as the inspiration for their garment.
In the workroom, Jerell, Korto and Leanne avoid Kenley as much as possible, and Kenley does the same. It's Kenley against everyone.
Also, Kenley leaves her tulle at Mood. The other designers have plenty that they can offer her, but they choose not to. Kenley tells Tim of her tulle situation and, here's the strange part, Tim tells her that she can go back to mood to retrieve her missing tulle. This seems strange to me. I didn't think that they would let someone go back to Mood under any circumstances. Hmmmm. Curious.

Now on to the runway!

Winner: Jerell
Eliminated: None
Top 2: Jerell, Leanne
Bottom 2: Korto, Kenley

Kenley should've been eliminated for her attitude alone. Michael made a very good point while the judges were deliberating.
"Imagine her response if a buyer says 'Well, I don't like that sleeve.' What does she do, take a knife out and kill them?"
Michael is completely right. She needs to learn to be polite and respectful if she wants to be a successful designer. Kenley absolutely cannot accept criticism. Okay, this joke has gone on long enough. Kenley needs to go home.

I'm going to review all the dresses this time.


1.Leanne 2.Korto 3.Kenley 4.Jerell

1. Leanne's dress was my favorite. It had sort of an ethereal, Grecian vibe to it that I thought was really beautiful. The ruffles were also really cool. I definitely thought that she should've won!
2. Korto's was a little prom- esque, but still really pretty. I would've liked to see a more vibrant color, though.
3. Kenley's dress was pretty stupid. First of all, she was somehow inspired by fish (the print and scales) which had nothing to do with the theme of this challenge. The scales were ridiculous. I couldn't see anyone wearing a dress with fish scales on the bottom. Not sophisticated at all. And yet again, she flipped out on the judges for giving her criticism. I'm really over Kenley.
4. Am I the only one who hated Jerell's dress? Let's see... it doesn't fit well, it's boring, it's wrinkly, it's sad, it's messy, it's unfinished... and those colors together were vomitous. I still can't believe that he won.

Wow! Can you believe it? Next week is the first part of the finale!!!! I can't wait! I really hope that Leanne or Korto takes it. They deserve it!
