Kenley pulls it off for all-girl Project Runway finale

Eight weeks away seems to have done Kenley some good. 

kenley-fish.jpgShe appears to  have lost much of the attitude that has won her few fans in and outside the Project Runway work room,  and boy! — that feathered wedding dress was darn cute, very Kenley, and gave her an ultimately well-deserved ticket to Bryant Park.

It’s aways fun to see the designers back in their homes and with their families as they design their collection for the finale. Jerell’s story was moving, Korto’s Liberian heritage fascinating, and a nervous Tim Gunn on that tandem bike with Leanne — priceless.jerell1.jpg

But no friends or family for Kenley?

Jerell’s sad “Auf” ing at the last hurdle left an all-female lineup for the finale for the first time in five seasons of the show.

Are the ladies up to the challenge?

THIS IS A VERY HARD SHOW,,,,,I LOVE KENLEY AND ALSO LEANNE. JARELL WAS THE WORST,,,SO UNFINISHED WITH HIS WORK AND NO VISION,,,HE IS DEFINATELY AN AMATURE. KORTO IS OK, BUT STILL NEEDS A VISION TO KEEP HER FOCUSED. GOOD LUCK TO KENLEY AND LEANNE,,,,IF IT WERE UP TO ME YOU WOULD BOTH WIN!!
XOXO

i love Kenley! I hope she wins. Yeah, she’s annoying, but she’s not boring. Korto is boring, nothing she does sticks out to me. I can’t stand Leanne. She’s had some good designs but I think she’s full of herself and is so lame. She talks like she’s so deep but really she’s just an idiot.

if pull[ing] it off is making a darn cute KNOCK OFF of a design by McQueen.

if she was at least a pleasant, likeable person, i would have tried to slightly overlook this but she is just a vile, bitter, insecure human being.

I really hope that Kenley doesn’t get it. She has been rude and laughed at the other designers. She has a bad attitude and i certainly would not got to her for something to be made.

Kenley’s wedding dress made The Gunn cry it was so beautiful. I sense a Kenley win.

Yo Kenley,

You Rock ‘n Rule! As soon as they give you the trophy, slam on that incredible wedding dress and get yourself over here as fast as you can!

I can’t take it anymore…you spring to life so boldly, and you really know how to stand up for your precious self. I’m in like here.

Im so glad kenley is going to fashion week she deserves it her fashions rock and i dont understand why the others ganged up on her. They all had there nasty attitude moments this season especially korto she has no room to talk she was the nastiest. I wish the finale 3 included Jerrell and not Korto she does not deserve to be there.

Is it just me or did Kenley plagerize not only Alexander McQueen but Leanne?? In fact, the shape of the dress, the one with the black and white zebra stripes and the bunch of ??flowers?? on the right hip, was the exact shape/structure of the dress that won Leanne one of her two challenges - the one made of car “parts”. Same design, same structure, just different materials.

She is a cheat!

I love Kenley’s fighting spirit! When Jerrell, Korto and Leanne pushed her aside and alienated her (talk about RUDE), Kenley was a little sad, but kept her focus. She didnt let their childish behavior get to her. Also, there are so many kids and teens out there who deal with the same pressure Kenley faced. Kenley Collins would be a great role model for them. Hey Kenley, you rock.
