Michael just finished showing and I am disappointed. Laura had a 20's thing going and it was good, but not daring enough. Ulli was good -- some of the same old shit, but some new stuff that was goof. Jeffrey was good. Very good. Stepped outside of himself but athe the same time remained true to himself, and had a great flow to the collection. I don't particularly like the guy, but on this night, he should win.

Amazing. I thought his collection was crap. I saw maybe two cool pieces in the whole thing and although he had good "flow," it seemed to me like he was third behind Ulli and Laura. But maybe that's just because I think his style sucks. The only piece he's ever done that I've liked was the dress he made for the garbage challenge.
And tell me why the fuck he didn't get booted for going over budget. That is simply inexcusable. This is a competition. Come up with
all your receipts and stay under budget. Allowing him to pick which piece he didn't want to include that put him over budget and to simply remove the other piece he didn't have a receipt for seems ridiculous. If they hadn't caught it, he would be straight-up cheating. And presumably no one else had this problem. I thought that whole thing was complete bullshit. Fuck a Jeffrey.
I was very impressed with Laura's collection. It was sophisticated, beautiful and mature, but not old. Too many feathers, but the nice pieces were absolutely gorgeous. I detest her like a sickness, but she did a great job. Much better than Jeffrey.
Michael's collection was disappointing. It felt like he didn't use the experience to grow as a designer at all. Most of the shit was tacky. Maybe three decent pieces in the whole collection.
Ulli's collection was gorgeous. I thought she won hands down. She used her prints for some pieces, but also explored other styles while keeping her Ulli flair. Everything she put out there looked great and the theme carried over very well from one piece to the next. She was fucking robbed.
What a disappointing finale. The outcome sucked and the way they handled Jeffrey was bullshit. Bleh.
What they should do is force the designers to use each piece they made during the show's run, combined with the pieces they come up with for their collection. Of course, the audience would have to be told that the other pieces were part of the challenges and give a brief description of each challenge, but the winner should be judged on their entire body of work.
Also, the crowd at the runway show should decide who wins. The judges are too close to the contestants and I think they're sometimes inconsistent and unfair. Have the audience use one of those opinion knobs for each piece and then tally up the scores.
