Dear Nina, Heidi, Michael and ...whoever you are Guest Judge WHO CRIED??,
I understand that there is a certain amount of "innovation" that you look for in your clothes but your decision that Jeffrey presented the most high design aesthetic makes me want to rethink reading Elle, or shopping at Victoria's Secret, or even looking at the Michael Kors' collections at all.
Jeffrey as innovative? Thats about as true as saying that Betty Page, Betty Boop, and the rockabilly - esque femme meets Hot Topic look never happened. Have you ever been to a mall? I bet you haven't and thats okay be/c you work in high fashion but today...today today today was a different version of the field of fashion you employ yourselves in.
Have you ever been to the Metro in Chicago? I bet you haven't. You should go on a night where there is some sort of "punk" act playing. If you do, you will see Jeffrey's "innovation" splitting the seams of the building. His clothes are like the female equivilant to Elmer Ave. and that look really is on the way out. Jeffrey would be innovative if this was 1999, but it's 2006, and from what i can tell, fashion is no where near regressing to anything from the 90's - just be/c the 80's seemed to be revamped this past season doesn't necessarily mean that the 90's - the LATE 90's mind you - will follow.
I am so disappointed in you Judges. Really. I understand that it was slim pickings (Michael's collection was like all the rejected satin blend pantsuits from old 70's pornos and Charlie's Angels episodes, - honestly, I was waiting for the music to cue Bow Chika Bow Wow! but somehow...his was trashier; Laura, again, props for looking so tight when you're preggers, but you should just go work for Ann Taylor - start the evening wear division of her lines, Laura, really).
ULI - talk about all the right elements. It had range in both design and color - as opposed to Laura's noir feel, Michael's jungle safari funhouse and Jeffrey's Minnie Mouse palate. Goddamn you Project Runway. You looked fashion in the eye and SPIT IN IT.
Oh and also, what a great message this show sent. As if its not bad enough that I had to suffer through the EVER ILLUMINATING "drug addict turned good" story, now he's awarded for going $200 over - what if all the designers had been able to go $200 over and then just switch up pieces based on receipts or some shit? God. His collection was so, so bad. Leather skinny pants. Stripes and Polka Dots...ew ew ew.
If the goal was to alienate and make a point to the fashion world, good job, but if it was to accurately reflect what the word innovation mean, well, to be frank, that didn't happen all season so to start now is just lame lame lame...i'd have liked to have seen Alison up there if Innovation was so important. Not Laura. NOT JEFFREY. Le Sigh. I guess now Jeffrey can try to dress more women outside of his girlfriend with his handy, kitschy, and FUGLY styles. I just. I am in shock. The day I use a BRONZE ZIPPER as a seam is the day I get a lobotomy, be/c the two would never happen on their own. Maybe now that Jeffrey has won, he can go get a real haircut be/c the coonskin cap as hair style he's dragging around needs to be out...esps since there are mutated versions of it on his like 2 year old love child and on his "pointedly not his wife" girlfriend. Mullet? Fauxhawk? Just plain ugly? I can't even tell anymore.
