JEFFREY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"He's like another Vivienne Westwood," says Runway's Tim Gunn. "He's adept at taking what's happening on the street and making it into fashion with a capital F."

I never thought they'd give him the title. Last season the judges were so afraid of giving Santino (season 2 subversive designer) the title because he had such a hard edge, so that added with Jay McCarroll's season 1 win would bring out all the freaks at the auditions. I'm soooo unbelievably thankful that the broader picture was honored with Jeffrey's win. I agreed with all the points the judges brought up and the order in which the designers we eliminated.

I agreed that Micheal was a good designer, but NOT Project Runway Winner. There was nothing innovative enough in his designs, or chic enough in his designs to really make me say, "That guy right there is the future of fashion."
As for Laura, well, it's hard to see the cloths behind the personality. She is extremely opinionated and cannot see beyond the surface of things or people. It was always impossible for her to win this competition. She is a very specific designer, and a damn good one, but she cannot design outside of her box.

Then there is my darling Uli. There is nothing bad I can say about her as a person or about her cloths. She was always the dark horse, always just below the radar. But even designers that make millions doing the flowing dresses can also make pants. I wish I could have seen her stretch her designs to be more well rounded. That is my only complaint. People in Miami wear pants right?

So Jeffrey was my last best hope for this season. His collection was perfect. His design aesthetic appeals to me in a way that made me excited to see what he made each week. And the preview of his collection last week made this finale episode a must see. Based solely on the merit of his cloths.

So hey, of all the finalists I've picked Jay for Season 1, Santino for Season 2, and Jeffrey for Season 3 for the winners. Two outta three ain't bad right?
