What a great finale! All the collections had their strengths but it came down to who had the best show, and that was Mr. Henderson. The designs were pure Seth Aaron with a touch of added elegance and sophistication. Sure the purple get-up was a bit much - and a surprising inclusion given he had 24 looks to choose from - but overall, his collection was the most exciting.I was also happy with Mila's collection. Out of all of them, hers is the one I would most want to wear. That said, there are still elements that need polishing and she would be doing herself a favor by forcing herself out of blocking if only a few times. But considering she's spent the majority of career styling and not designing, she's still working it out.
As for Emilio... meh. I loved his jackets. LOVED THEM. But the dresses were so underwhelming. Each time the judges talked about the sophistication of the collection, I wanted to throw my macbook across the room. They were basically colored versions of the Addicted to Love video. Michael Kors correctly pointed out he showed a line, not a collection, and I do believe we will see the ESOSA print in stores at some point. But you won't see it on me.
Thanks to everyone who played this year and congratulations to Sarah K for the win!
