I liked Korto’s designs, I felt bad watching how upset she felt in the backstage area. I wish Jerell had been in the Top 3 as well!

I dont think that was Naima from antm. I think that was her twin sister because Naima doesn’t have a tattoo on her arm.

but i have to say that i hate how project runway keeps certain contestants around for longer just because they’re dramatic and controversial like Kenley. everyone hated her, her designs were not that good (remember that weird, scaley dress she made? ugh!) but she made it to the final 3 over jerell who had won so many of the previous challenges! it’s such BS! I watch PR to see talented designers, not obnoxious and annoying people who create “drama.” if i want drama, i’ll watch a dramatic movie or something.

I’m surprised you didn’t screenshot Bianca and Danielle from ANTM, as well.
And Shannon from Make Me a Supermodel.

I’m so delighted. I’ve been a fan of Leanne since the beginning and I’m so happy for her.
I’ve been a big Korto fan too and would’ve loved to see her win too.
Haha – “Kenley – you’re out”… The three most beautiful words in the world.

I think Korto should have won project runway…Leanne’s designs were good but there was nothing that shouted fashion, I wonder what was really behind the judges choice. Wish Korto the best for the future…you deserve it gal.

kenley: so damn glad she didn’t win
Leanne: eh, alright. i liked her but i didn’t like her more than korto.
Korto: just so incredibly sad that she didn’t win. she was my absolute FAVORITE of any season and i am so upset that she was only runner-up. Although, she was very real when she ‘lost’, and that only made me like her more.

Oh, and Kenley was a chode up to the bitter end. Karma’s a bitch.

I LOVED Korto’s collection, and I have to admit I was super disappointed that she didn’t win. Leanne’s collection was pretty, but it was also kind of boring and muted. I get that her aesthetic is more commercial, but Korto’s has more heart. I thought Korto’s dresses were stunning – esp. the green halter gown.
Oh well. I was also on Team Uli when Jefferey won Season 3. I guess I’m good at picking almost winners…

I absolutely could not stand the music playing for LeAnne’s show – it was so repetitive (just like the petals were) and kind of sci-fi obnoxious sounding. Some of her collection was neat, but it was essentially the same motif over and over. I was surprised she won for that reason. I feel like she threw in that bit about sustainability at the last second and it somehow pushed her over Korto. Did she say anything earlier in the season about ecofashion or anything along those lines?

And, while I think Kenley could be a little more humble and open to constructive criticism, I feel that if she were a guy she would have gotten away with the attitude. Look back at some of the previous male contestants that made it far – like Santino, Jeffrey and even Christian (up til the last couple of shows in his season) all had pissy attitudes but in the end that didn’t seem as important as their designs. I really feel that because Kenley is a female, everyone got stuck on her attitude. And really, it is clearly a defense mechanism of some sort – there’s got to be a reason that there was very little personal info about her in that finale part 1. In the end, I loved the clothes she put on the runway – they were hip, young and fun. I hope all three finalists do well in the future – they all did great work.

LOL at Gyllenhall’s comment about LeAnne needing Shampoo- what IS with her greasy/wet hair look? Anywho, I was blown away by all of this years collections- I thought they were all beautiful, but of course, some were more beautiful then others. Kenley’s collection was pretty decent, it was bright, I loved that black and hot pink tutu dress, but she deserved to lose. Korto and Leanne were tied in my eyes- they both had BEAUTIFUL collections, each had such a huge part of both designers stitched into every inch of fabric, and I don’t think I could have decided who should win fairly- I would have had to flip a coin or something! I loved that Leanne’s designs were both whimsical and architectural, and I loved Korto’s collection for being bright, the beading was amazing, and the African theme was gorgeous! BRAVO to all the ladies! But now what are we going to do until next season? :(

korto’s collection was beautiful, as was leanne’s, you could def. see their inspiration and personality…Kenley was just so annoying, I couldn’t love anything she sent down the runway…however, she had some cute looks and you could see her personality, too. But her inspiration? You couldn’t see that and it made a difference.

I just can’t figure out how to sit in Leanne’s petal skirts.

Do you have to carefully comb them over your butt so they line up and then lightly perch on the chair so as to not to wrinkle your butt petals?

Can you ever sit down? Do you have to walk to your event? Or do they have to put you on a handcart ala Hannibal Lector and wheel you in?

I wanted Korto to win. I thought her line was amazing and could have fit ANY woman’s body. I love designers who get that not every woman weighs 90 pounds soaking wet. But I thought that Leanne had some beautiful clothes. I’m just thankful whiny, miserable, miss know it all, Kenley didn’t win. Based on attitude alone, she shouldn’t have made it as far as she did.

I would have chosen Korto in a heartbeat.

When she begins selling her clothes, I’m figuring out a way to buy that green dress. It was phenomenal.

Korto should have won. Leanne was boring compared to her collection. ha ha Kenly!

also if you watched Jarell’s collection on youtube….Eugenia from ANTM was his first model out on the runway….and yeah I saw all the other people…Shannon from Make me a supermodel and all the other ANTM girls

Leanne deserved it…I did enjoy Korto’s but you knew she wasn’t gonna win cause the judges don’t enjoy her “overworked” looks….though I thought her wedding dress was fantastic….but what do I know…lol….I thought Leanne’s was the most cohesive collection

i loved kenley, despite her attitude, i loved her. leann is fun too in her dorky, cute way. can’t wait for season 6. woot!

Ugh, what the hell? Now don’t get me wrong, I loved LeAnne but her collection was repetitive. I too thought that she would’ve gotten some flack for adding more fabric and weird poofing at the hips on her designs. Surely she could’ve added more color combination and variety. Sigh.
Korto is an amazing designer. I love the fact she can make any woman of any size look fabulous. Her dresses were just gorgeous. I surely still can’t imagine how she did not win over LeAnne’s boring collection.

There was also a cameo from Shannon from the bravo show “Make Me a Supermodel”. She was the model during casting who said she was almost 6 ft tall. I don’t think she ended up in anyone’s show, though.

PS- Korto should have won. Leanne is booooooooooo-ring. And I hate to admit it, but I kinda love Kenley and her dresses. :)
