The Modern Romantic

I don't have all that much to say about last night's PJRunway finale that hasn't already been said. My growing resentment towards Laura finally boiled over. Jeffrey managed to become a real human being at the end (note to Jeffrey: Go everywhere with your hottie wife and adorable kid- they make you look less, well gollumesque) and Uli, sweet lonely Uli made the best prete a porter collection of the bunch.

This is "the search for America's next great fashion designer" though, and so I agree with Kors, NinaGarciaFashionDirectorofElleMagazine and Heidi that Jeffrey should win. I love the zipper dress, I love the straps top. Bravo's got a great Q&A with Jeffrey up on the site. Here's some of the best bits:

• "Thing is, Laura would call me. Four times in two and a half months. Almost on a schedule. The first three times she called me, it was to tell me about the blogs she was reading and about how the bloggers hate me. “How you doing?” “Good.” “Good, good. Man, those bloggers hate you.” A week later, “Man those bloggers hate you.” Another week later… And the last time she called, she said, “You must be incredibly busy. Are all your sewers sewing everything for you?”

• "I made a point to go to her house with Jay McCarroll and Malan and Uli -- to watch the reunion show at her house, and you know, I don’t trust her. I don’t know...Not that she could do anything to me ever, but the way she attacked me was so petty and weird and unfounded."
• There was a lot of talk about the recycle challenge, I think my dress was much more exciting and better than what Michael made. I can’t talk to the judges and shake them and say, “What were you thinking?” However, I do know that Rachel Zoe was the guest judge and she’s a celebrity stylist, with very milquetoast taste, and as a stylist, a three piece separate is a lot more versatile than one dress.
