I honestly was surprised with the outcome of Project Runway Season 5!! I did not foresee Leanne winning, and thought that Korto had it in the bag. I personally loved Korto's collection. She was innovative without being too outlandish. I did not think her pieces looked "overworked," but that was a consistent critique of her clothes, even before Bryant Park. I also loved how she based her collection on her ethnic roots. It allowed her pieces to come from a perspective unique to those of the other designers.
I also thought that Kenley did a great job. She truly expressed her point of view throughout her collection, and the hand-painted clothes were phenomenal! However, Michael Kors mentioned multiple times that her designs resembled those of famous designers. If she is not up to date with the world of fashion, she can not succeed with originality. But I do think Kenley will make it in the fashion industry in some way.
The pieces in Leanne's collection were definitely executed with precision. She also truly expressed her point of view, and was unique in this point of view. She was praised for the sophistication of her line, and how she incorporated her inspiration of waves into each piece. I am definitely interested to see what Leanne has to offer in the future, because I do appreciate her aesthetic as a designer.
As you know in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out.
