I thought they all did extremely well under the time constraints. Did not like the first look Austin sent out or the weird vampire/Hasidic story, but he had some great pieces with "wow" factor. Michael is less innovative than the other two, but his clothes are pieces that I would actually wear, very well made & I could see them appealing to women of all ages. Mondo is simply Mondo. He may not be for everyone but he is hypercreative & never compromises himself. I was really happy for him to win at last. I hope Gretchen Jones watched this & cried into her granola.
Michaels my favorite. He's so much faster than the other two, it's unreal. Mondo is too moody. I felt worse for Michael than I have for anyone when he was let go the season he was on. He took it so hard.
michael was genuine when he said mondo deserved the win.
i agree. yes, mondo's personality is not something i'd want to be around alot-- but he really did deserve the top spot. i guess with this being the first PR All Stars, the judges and producers really wanted to get it right and have the best work win. austin would've been a sentimental favorite i suppose. i d like to know the behind the scenes chatter/deliberation
Mondo's DIY "Rorschach test" came out fantastic. If they had come out lame, it would have been horrible. I loved the rorschach he created. I liked what little of Mondo I saw in the past, but I think his pouty "I am not happy" behavior showed his true colors.
Michael seemed like a really good person with a good heart. Austin was just too into himself, but I liked most of this stuff in the past. Their little gathering for a chat afterwards was kind of scary. Too many egos.
So - we got our PR fix. Now we have to wait till summer for the next season. One thing I noticed, these guys really didn't do a whole lot different than a bunch of new designers, except maybe they were a tad calmer because they had been through the Mood thing and the weird challenges. I will watch the summer show because I really miss Tim.
It's been fun watching with y'all. See you in the summer!

I didn't like Austin's collection. There was nothing in it I would wear.
Austin doesn't produce wearable fashion by the masses. And Neiman Marcus is selling to the masses.

i pretty much agree, Hopes. i think austin's whole thing in a show is he's beckoning the audience to visit his showroom: "visit my showroom, visit my showroom" is his message over & over with every look that walks down. in that sense, he is successful. i hope he remains part of the fashion cosmos for years to come.
I hope this season is actually worth watching the last few seasons were boring.
