The much talked about: OUTFIT #13
Of course, the highlight of the Finale episode for me, was the much talked about Outfit #13!! It was so great to hear how much all the judges and the viewers out there in TV-Land liked this look. It definitely helped make the experience worth it, because to be quite honest, when I was chosen 1st, I was kinda like, are you sure you don't want to pick somebody else. Heidi, Daniel F., Guadalupe...anybody?!?I had grand plans of filming the Reunion Show for a couple of hours and then spending the rest of the week shopping and lunching at Pastis while hanging out with my NY friends.
I mean, I love Daniel V., and kudos to all three of them for making the finals, but making us slave away for 48 hours with no sleep was a bit much. At least they could have given us a years supply of Tresemme hair products or some Loreal cosmetics....a Banana Republic gift certificate! Hello anybody?!? Anything.................?
Anyway, like I said, I'm happy that it was so well received and it made for fun TV watching on Finale night. Thanks for all the support!

Draping outfit #13
Comments
On the recognition you will get for that dress in the long run, you'll get all the NY highlight trips you want...with your friends! I think YOU made Daniel's collection with that dress and your input. Hate to diss Daniel but I think that's true. I'm glad you had a hand in it. cheers!
I know it was a collaboration, but hell... you should have known that you would be the first chosen over all the other designers! They wouldn't have chosen Kara cause she had her line to show... and you really should have been one of the final 4... hell, the final 3!
Being on PR takes some courage, and I definitely don't have it yet.. but I hope it really launches your line. I can't wait to wear your clothes.
Loved the whickety whack shirt!
Mucho amor y felicidad a usted
You were always one of my favorites, and I'm glad that you and Daniel got to work together for the finale. Congrats on a job well done!
If you read these comments, would you please comment on your honest reaction to Chloe being chosen the winner? I feel like I am the only one who hated her collection.
Still, your outfit was shown at Olympus so that's something!!!!!
It was the most beautiful piece in his collection, to be honest. You two should partner up and design a line together.
I just wanted to say that although I found it a tad cruel to make the final 3 complete an additional outfit, it was so great to see you, Andrae and Diana. You so deserved more time on the show and this was a lovely way to give you more (even though it was real work for you!). The short scenes of you 6 designers busily working away -- with a little Timpersonation by Santino thrown in -- were my favorite moments of the finale. A throw-back to "the good old days" of work+play that I think makes the show so lovable and interesting. You're all so damn talented and wonderful to watch! Best of luck and much love
First of all, the dress looks beautiful and certainly does not look like a "last minute" garment.
This is how addicted I have been to Project Runway, I went zonkers when they assigned the 12th garment and then to ask all of you to come back and help... I felt that was beyond the beyonds.
I am not surprised that you were first pick. Besides your talent, you come across as a very kind person... just what is needed during a 48 hour crush.
I can not believe that you all were not reimbursed in some way for that work. That must be one crazy contract you all signed.
I hope SJP contacts you.
Hubby and I saw some My Scene Barbies while shopping last week. Good Lord! Wish you had designed the whole line. Your Barbie was cute, hip and sassy... and something I would allow my child to play with.
Get an agent and have Mattel make a deal with you...LOL!
Much love and have a blessed day,
Loretta

Congratulations on all the success.
As we all know you should've been in the final 3 as more than an assistant, not to mention the winner. Obvi because you are fabulous.
Anyway, I am LOVING the wickety wack shirt! Where can I get one? It's glorious, so sassy, so you!
Good luck with SJP! You totally could've styled her for "Sex." Or anything else! You're amazing!
Brilliant work on the 13th design! I always thought you would be a part of the final three--but it was great to be able to watch you work with Daniel.
If you're still in the need for some NYC shopping-why don't you join us on the Blogging Project Runway tour? :)
PS-- loved you, loved your work. You were totally robbed in any number of challenges, but especially in the figure skating one.
