I was actually thinking the same thing. I mean, Tabitha Simmons is one of the most influential stylists in the world. If she wanted to she could get tons of investors she could do it in a heartbeat. The same is true of Jennifer Meyer Maguire. She's well-connected with the Hollywood crowd. The whole reason people know of her is because she gets all of her famous friends to wear her jewelry. What is $100,000 really going to do for her when she's already gotten so much publicity? I'm not saying they aren't talented because they are, but there are so many designers struggling to make a name for themselves and get some money to put their collections together. Was it really necessarily for three wealthy, well-connected people to enter this contest even if it was just for the prestige? It could've gone to someone who really needed it.
