The collections looked very good on tv. I really didnt' have that much complain with either one of them, just minor things.
Leanne - no doubt it was the most complex and sophisticated collection. But done very tastefully and innovetively. My only concern was that it was repetitive at times. There were at least 3 mini skirts that looked almost identical and whiel that may be ok when you have 40 looks, when you only have 10... don't know. And like the judges said, her challenge will be to branch out and not stay with that one thing.
Korto - I was surprised by how much I ended up liking it, because I really didn't think that much of it from pictures. My biggest fear was that those colors would look tacky and overwhelming, but they weren't. She brought her roots into it, but it was drag. My concern with her line was that it didn't have that something ... extra. It was all pretty, but almost JC Penney pretty? Can't explain it, but it didn't look high fashion?
Kenley - loved it (save that first look). It was surprisingly cohesive and very pretty. But unlike Korto's it looked very architectural. Also loved the colors and the paint work. You can't get around the copying issue though. I'm not saying she actually did copy, but it takes away from the whole thing. If it wasn't for that, it'd probably be my winner, but alas.
She would be thrown out...I have a feeling the judges wouldn't go for her brand of genius.
