The winner, Leanne Marshall presented a perfectly clean collection. All of the clothes went together with similar colors, tones and design features. The basic colors were white and beige while several main pieces came with an aqua blue punch.
Yes, she may have included too many petals but they were each presented in different ways. And she was the only designer that had a well blended collection, in my opinion anyway. I think she was chosen because of this, and also because her collection looked clean and professional. But she did not take any risks, and in the fashion world this can be boring.
Korto Momolu is the designer that many feel should have won Project Runway. Her collection showcased many beautiful patterns topped with extravagant design elements. Most of her dresses showed off her models backs and two had simple diagonal straps down the back. The favorite of her dresses however was a green halter dress with one side of the halter being two beaded strands- brillant? I loved it.
So then- who deserved the golden crown? Was it the clean professional collection by Leanne Marshal or the design styles of Korto Momolu?
I could argue either way.
Though one thing is for sure- Kenley Collins was not the winner in sight. Not only did she have a crappy attitude but her cocky persona did not balance well with her "okay" collection. Her collection was.....umm unoriginal, what a surprise. I didn't like it at all but I can't conclude that is was because everything was ugly looking. I think it was because everything was out of place- none of the pieces looked good together. And the color choices were a bit off for the designs- besides the hand-painted garments, many of the outfits had only two large plains of color, like black and green. That's it-everything had either two little color or too much color.
Anyways lets hear some feedback. :)

Well,
Allow me to first agree that Kenley's collection was a train wreck. The only thing I can compliment in it are the individual silhouettes, and she can hardly take credit for those. Overall it was one discontinuous mess.
While I think the two contenders both had lovely collections, I agree with the judges choice. I think Leanne's presented a clear concept, along with beautiful and innovative forms. I would disagree that she didn't take risks. However, I may have a bias towards her architectural style.
Korto's collection had interesting pieces, perhaps too much so. Each piece was so unique, I think the collection lost cohesiveness.
yay this is fun :)
