Project Runway Finale Spoilers

Posted by: Jon Haehnle on September 28, 2006 at 11:28 pm

Hi, my name is Jon Haehnle and I’m a Project Runway addict (which may or may not explain why I redesigned PCS with so much hot pink…)

If you’ve been following the show and watched the last episode (that is, you already know who the finalists are) then click the spoiler link for a link to tons of pics showing each designer’s collection at Fashion Week. Apparently these were scanned from New Yorker Magazine.


Jeffrey
Laura
Michael
Uli

Laura and Uli seem to have made the effort to show some variety in their collections, while Jeffrey and Michael seem to be showing several outfits which repeat the mistakes they made in the last episode. While Jeffrey is definitely a dick, I was looking forward to seeing what kind of cool stuff he could come up with. Far more disappointing, though, is looking at these pics and getting the impression that the designer with the worst collection seems to be Michael, who has been my favorite throughout the show thus far :O

Uli won hands down in my book. I love and would wear almost everything she made! Michael was my favorite throughout the competition, but his line was disappointing. I have heard about the scandal with Jeffrey so I don’t think he will win. Go Michael or Uli!!!

Erica October 5th, 2006

Okay Uli, we get it. You like long, crazy-printed, flowy dresses.

Angelica October 5th, 2006

I still have hopes for Michael, although he has dissapointed us in the past weeks. I still love his sense of style. Go Michael!!!

It looks like Uli may have received the win because she has the most pictures and looks like she designed the most number of dresses. I think Michael’s line is more creative but I don’t know about practicality. I can’t see myself in any of the bathingsuit type of clothes he’s designed opposed to seeing me in most of what Uli designed. Forget Laura…I just don’t get her and Jeffrey shows signs of genius in some while others are still too odd for me to wear. I think that the red top with white pants are the best looking of all. I still say Go Michael because he is my favorite from the beginning of the show. I just think that Uli may have won.

what is the scandal with jeffrey???

Avatar

Jon Haehnle October 11th, 2006

seems we all want michael to win :) but just looking at the collections perhaps it isn’t as likely as we might’ve hoped :(

apparently there was some suspicion that jeffrey had help creating his collection. which i guess is pretty hard for them to monitor, or prove

do you know what happens to jeffrey? they show him crying….does he not get to show?

Avatar

Jon Haehnle October 11th, 2006

yeah, the previews for next week at the end of tonight’s show did make it seem that jeffrey was disqualified… but if you saw the links i posted in the spoiler section he definitely had a collection at bryant park so i can only think those were tears of relief

Avatar

Kristen October 11th, 2006

Yeah, but there are more than just the final designers that show at fashion week to keep the audience from knowing the results before the show airs, so jeffrey could have just been showing as a decoy…

michelle October 12th, 2006

They may have let Jeffrey show his collection, but not be in the competition – now that would be a twist. The exposure for him would be good even without a win (even if he is kind of kooky). Just a thought.

Avatar

Amy October 12th, 2006

I think Jeffrey is a jerk, Laura is full of herslef and Uli is the same all the time. Michael is my favorite ut his collection was a major letdown

Avatar

Jessica October 12th, 2006

Although Jeffery is not the nicest person in the world. I love him for some reason. I will be PISSED if they kicked him off! I really blelieve he DID sew his stuff. I think Laura is just a jelous *itch that needs to STOP reproducing!

Sorry to spoil it! Michael wins because there is a spread in the new Elle all about him and why he won. I read it twice to make sure it wasnt for an episode. Michael was my favorite although his line was a little weak.

julie October 12th, 2006

God…I want Uli to win……

Deanna October 12th, 2006

jeffrey is eliminated.. It says that Klum said that one just showed so that no one would know who won… because Its obvious Jeffrey had the best line.. with him out its really up for grabs and at this point I hate Laura and Project Runway now.

Avatar

Beatriz October 12th, 2006

I really want Jeffrey to win. I thought he was unique throught the whole show. I love how he shows his emotions with his son and wife! I don’t think he cheated!!! I think that the others are just threatend by his line. Especially Laura, beacuse her line of clothes is old and over!!! I hate her!!!! Jeffrey’s is the best clothes line. I love the colors and he shows the most promise!!! I also like Michael, but his line looks odd!!!!

Jeremy October 12th, 2006

Michael better win..He has been dissapointing lately however, hopefully he can turn it around!

Avatar

Robert October 12th, 2006

I’ve liked Laura from the very beginning.
She is a remarkable woman with a great flair for
design and construction.

I think she made a mistake insinuating that Jefferey
had additional help sewing.
He may have….but, if you don’t actually see it happening with your own eyes; you should probably
just keep your mouth shut.

Plus, she is waaaay hormonal….give her a break.
She is articulate and can communicate like an educated person.
That makes her a *itch?

Ultimately it is not about personalities, it’s about
their work.

Kelly October 12th, 2006

I think Laura was perfectly within her rights to express her opinions about Jeffrey’s collection. If he is innocent then it wont matter, if he isnt he doesnt deserve to be there. I think Laura is the best over all at designing things a woman would actually want to wear. Jeffrey is a bully and a *rick who likes to make old ladies cry. So what he has a kid that he loves, so does 90% of the rest of the country. Jeffrey was the one who was the most full of himself the entire show. Laura you rock!

Avatar

Jessica Arpin October 12th, 2006

I really want Jeffrey to win. I didn’t like him at the beginning of the season but now i do. He is the best designer because he is so different and now. With the zippers and patterns, his clothing line is the most modern. It sucks that apparantly (or at least what I read on this web site) he does get eliminated because of the controversy. But at least he already has a line and a successful business to go back to. I really dont like Laura and Uli is so predictable. I like Michael but from what I have seen from his final collection it is a big dissapointment. And someone on here said that Michael won but, my friend read in another magazine that Uli won and there is an article with her explaining how. I just want to know for sure who wins and if Jeffrey really is eliminated. I hate having to wait until next week. They should really just show the finale all at once; it would be so much easier.

Michael Nedell October 12th, 2006

I like Jeffrey. I like Uli. I like Michael. Laura is a snooty pants. If Jeffrey did sew all that himself and she just whined because she is a whiner, then she should have to give one of her sons to Jeffrey for a haircut and a neck tattoo. Or she should be forced to get a neck tattoo herself. She needs a neck tattoo that says UPPER EAST SIDE.

Avatar

Dena October 13th, 2006

I love Michael – he is so down to earth and interesting. He has pretty much stayed away from most of the bickering that has gone on throughout the show and I like most of his designs. Yes his collection is a bit disappointing but I definitely would not want Jeffrey to win. I applaud that he went from an addict loser to a great designer but he is rude to everyone! He shows that now instead of hurting himself with drugs and alcohol, he intends to hurt everyone else instead.

Falco October 14th, 2006

Laura is a fucking bitch! I hope Jeffrey is not disquilified I really do I don’t care if he wins but I don’t want people thinking hes a fucking cheater this is such fucking bull shit.

Trinity October 17th, 2006

Looking solely at the collection, it is clear that Laura did amazing work. Regardless of personalities, she is a fashion designer grown up; needed in today’s fashion world. Let me tell you, if you are competing for a life changing moment and someone is ‘cheating’ you are darn right you will say something.
Laura’s and yes, Uli’s line are beautifully done and it will be between the two of them. Michael’s was disappointing. Jeffrey’s..well, what can I say, I just do not like it. That is a matter of taste. But this younger hipper bs needs to stop. Not everyone wants to look like a rock prostitute every moment of the day..

Jessica October 18th, 2006

Robert -

Laura is not a b*tch because she is educated. She is a b*tch because she sees competition and makes accusations that are not founded on facts. Her designs are completely unoriginal. Every dress she makes is basically a “Sew Easy” pattern with sparkly crap sewn on the bottom. No wonder she is convinced that Jeffery cheated – she can’t fathom someone being able to make a dress that takes more than basic sewing skills.

Avatar

Adrienne October 18th, 2006

Jeffrey did cheat and it wasn’t just Laura that called him on it. Michael and even Uli agreed it was suspicious. I’m sure Jeffrey is a nice guy but even nice guys cheat.

Avatar

Greg W October 18th, 2006

1st things first… Michael is a wannabe! Secondly, Jeffrey cheated and you can tell by the way he reacted. Third, Laura’s things are great and you can’t help but laugh at Uli. Her designs are nuts.

Avatar

Marilyn Ford October 18th, 2006

Uli had the best collection by far. I love Jeffrey, but
some of his stuff was not sewn properly, you can see
in the pictures. Laura is outdated and Michael only
had a few good looks, most of them looked cheap, even the belts looked cheap.

I cast my vote for Uli.

Avatar

Joey October 18th, 2006

Micheal won hands down, I would like to see Michael, Laura and Uli start a business together because they have different looks and it would be great because they have great chemistry. If you remember the last episode Jeffrey said he sent an item out for some sort of stitching, I’m not sure if that was within the guidelines or not. If so he should show his collection he probably didn’t cheat I think he has great talent and was probably very focused on finishing his line and that’s why he was able to chill out. I believe Michael won because the line would be for INC and the line has more hip clothes and Laura has more mature beautiful clothes but maybe not what INC wanted. Uli is just use to warm weather, Miami Michael Korrs was sick of it and that’s why she didn’t win.

Tana October 18th, 2006

I really hope Uli did not win her outfits all look the same to me and have throughout the show and she is just boring to me. If she won that would suck cause she only designs for one climate and one type of person, hopefully she grows and tries some different things. I really like everyone else though. No real favorite.

Sid October 18th, 2006

Well it just goes to show you…. you can be an a$$ and a jerk and you’ll still get ahead. Wow. I can’t believe it. I won’t be watching project run-a-way again.

Avatar

Jon Haehnle October 19th, 2006

ARRGH! I can’t believe Jeffrey won!!! I really thought Uli should’ve won. Or even Laura! :(

Avatar

Pete October 19th, 2006

I am glad that Jeffrey won. He had the best collection in the show (though I would have been just as happy if Uli would have won). Laura’s all looked the same and Micheal’s all kinda looked a little slutty in my opinon.

Avatar

katherine October 19th, 2006

I can’t stand Jeffery or his collection. Uli should have won. Her collection was the best. Laura’s was too old Lady and yes, even though I like Michael, his collection was too hooker-like. I DO think Jeffery cheated too. He was way to “deer caught in the headlights” during the whole thing. If he really hadn’t done anything, he would have been much more indignant. The judges feel like they can’t award a collection unless it’s somehow wacky and nonwearable by the average person. WHATEVER!

Avatar

Carly October 19th, 2006

Ok are you freeking kidding me. Did Jeffery just win? Ok, first of all he has a freeking tatoo on his neck with his kids name on it, Second of all, he is sporting a mullet. Not to mention his collection sucked! I can not even believe that he made it this far…. Its all about Drama, and I totally think it stinks that he is only on the show because he is good drama. Seriously, you can not tell me that those freeking hot pants he designed for the paris trip were cool. They were so tight. I just can not even believe that he won. I loved what someone said about Jeffery and the fact that he loved his kid and so does 90% of the rest of the world so big woop.

jeg October 19th, 2006

I am so glad Jeffery won, everything about his collection was better hands down and he is the only one of them who could ever be taken seriously in the fashion world because he is modern and innovative. Laura’s collection looks like it could be at JCpenny or maybe hanging next to the Jaqueline Smith collection at Kmart. Uli could probably do well in Boca with all the retirerees, her dresses look like what Mrs. Howell used to flit around in on Gilligan’s Island. And Michael…that was just sad I feel embarrassed for him and I don’t understand why so many people actually thought he was going to win.

Alex October 19th, 2006

Ok, here is my summary on the finale. Throughout the show I have liked many of Jeffrey’s designs, by no means all. But the ones I liked were outstanding. They have been creative and fun. Uli and Laura have shown a lot of good craftsmanship but somehow always came up short and resembling something seen before – especially Uli’s. I mean jeez, could she have used GREY a little more maybe? But truth is, I was wishing Michael would win simply because I believed he had the best skills and worked best under pressure. His ideas were often very creative and slick. But his collection was disappointing.

All in all, Jeffrey’s creativity and flexibility give him an edge because he can design clothes for many different people and settings, and his out-there vision can create some amazingly-looking outfits. And it seems well fitting to end that way for a guy who was on the verge of suicide and everything was going wrong for.

Doug October 19th, 2006

I knew Jeffery would win once I watched the episode where they had to make garments out of re-cycled material. Jeffery’s vision and talent were so apparent then and it has continued throughout the show. Yes, he’s brash and a bad boy but after what he has gone through personally, I’d say his story is pretty affirming. I don’t think Laura or Uli would evolve past what they do week after week. Michael got a little too big for his britches. Maybe he could have waited a couple months to get braces on – perhaps he thought he was going to do the talk show circuit after his big win.

This show is not only about talent but it is also about who will shine long and hot in the fashion business. Jeffery will go far. It’s clear the judges (who know more about fashion than anyone on this chat site) preferred him and believe in him most. Nuff said.

jan October 19th, 2006

Even watching the rerun of last night’s finale show, i am still just stunned by the ridiculous outcome of the judges vote
.I still think something fishy was going on…….cannot put my finger on it other than the show’s management and maybe even the judges felt intimidated by the possibility of a lawsuit filed by Jeffery against them for slander or something (when they th ought he had not sewed all of his collection himself). Don’t know if I will watch the next season or not…..still up in the air.

Robert October 23rd, 2006

Well, it’s all over and it was all wonderful.

Jeffery may have won the competition, but, he has
a life’s worth of bad karma to contend with.
His collection did not move or impress me.
He may be the most original of the bunch, but, that
doesn’t make his work the most like-able.
I liked Laura and Uli’s work from the very beginning.
They may not be great innovators, but, they made
beautiful, desirable clothing.

“There is nothing new under the sun”….
Laura, Michael and Uli may have repeated history,
but Jeffery tried too hard to create boldly different
pieces that really didn’t interest me.

In any event, they all received great exposure.
I trust all of them will be happily busy and sought
after.

They all won.
