just walk it off September 26, 2006 9:53 pm >> More scandal coming your way on the Project Runway front -- Laura has accused Jeffrey of cheating on his final collection at New York Fashion Week. She believes that Jeffrey outsourced his sewing, grounds for Jeffrey to get Auf'd. Tim Gunn confirmed that the accusation was investigated, but wouldn't reveal the outcome.
Maybe Laura saw Jeffrey's collection and got jealous? Bee Schaffer, sitting front row, did scrunch up her nose at some of Laura's designs, after all (the fuzzy trim at right really did it for her). Who knows.
As New York Magazine so diplomatically put it, Jeffrey had a "rather unfinished style of construction throughout the show." I would venture to say that applies to all of the final four designers, after seeing their work in person. The fabric choices looked -- how you say -- cheap (I realize they had a budget, but still -- what designer doesn't?), and the construction didn't do much to change my mind. Uli's pattern choices in particular hurt my eyes. But I guess there's a reason these designers are in a reality show on Bravo...
