Wow, 4 weeks to make a collection for the concept store (at minimum of 4 accessible pieces) and a 10 piece runway collection for the runway.
It was such a toss up as to what the judges were thinking.
Yannick loved his store, loved his color palette, but his pieces were not accessible, and they were all boxy, not flattering shapes.
Raphael loved his store, not sure if they liked his clothes.
Jeanette didn't love her store, didn't get her theme until she explained it.
Georgia didn't love her store, were her accessible pieces really accessible?
Yannick won?
Jeanette is gone.
PS: as before and on Project Runway to mislead reporters the fourth person will have their collection shown.

No surprise Yannick won, but his clothes were not accessible at all. I get he’s creative & innovative but I don’t think he met the challenge.

Sometimes I think the judges are too critical. I luv the clothes but none would look good on my body type, none would fit on my body type and I simply think they are way too expensive. |

I HATED Yannick's color palette. That milky pale green = ICK. He's talented, but that store left me cold. Frankly, I didn't love any of the storefronts. They were either bland or chaotic. No middle ground.
I was shocked they kept Jeanette over Georgia.

Did you mean you were shocked that they kept Georgia over Jeanette, Critical, because I sure was! Georgia is talented at constructing her clothes, but I don't like them at all (with the exception of last week's). They feel like old lady clothes--except as an old lady myself, I wouldn't want to wear them. I guess what I really mean is they look like they are made for ancient socialites who want to look like they are wearing designer clothes but have no real taste or sense of style. There is nothing interesting or current about them. They are just blah, even though they are quite complex in their construction. |

I thought her concept store was fine, but it didn't blow me away. I liked her prints and thought it was hilarious that one of the judges (Nicole?) said it was bland or not very dressy. For many women, that would be dressed up if they met friends out. Put some cute heels on and go. Heck, MANY o0f us don't even go that dressy. I feel like Heidi and Nicole shouldn't be the arbiters of what most women like to wear.
In the final runway show, I thought Georgia's biggest mistake was putting a larger model in that blue dress she had in her concept store. The dress already looks like a wall, so she needed a slender body in it to make it appear less....wall-like = you would have been able to see that vertical line better. It made the model look like the broad side of a barn. Not flattering.

Honestly, Yannick and Rafael had the best concept stores. There was something clean, yet decrepit about Yannick's store that was very appealing to me. Rafael's store had a lot of graphic boldness and was colorful which was fun, and I love those prints that he made. Unfortunately, Jeanette and Georgia stores were very much "done already" because both of them looked like any mid to high end boutique you can find in any major city. I also thought of Chico's (which isn't exactly high end). With that said, I liked Jeanette's clothes and color palette a lot more than Georgia's, and she was the only person to use live models in her store. I like Georgia and her clothes, I think the judges might have considered who would put on more of a "show" and she might have had an edge.

Did the designers run dry?
The concept stores and clothes from season 1 and 2 were better.
