Kenley the CopyCat?? You Decide!
by Teri Raser
Editor-At-Large at Elle Magazine, Nina Garcia, was first to point out that a few of Kenley Collins' looks on the runway reminded her of 2 memorable looks from previous lines of Alexander Mcqueen and Balenciaga.
Kenley claims she does not follow the fashion world and never really keeps up with designers' new lines. Everyone's favorite mentor, Tim Gunn, flatly suggested enrollment in a Fashion History Course. Plagiarizing doesn't look good to the editors who will make your clothing immortal in the pages of Elle and Vogue....
Add "plagiarizer" to the equation along with her snotty attitude, arrogant refusal of advice, plus an annoying cackle-and Kenley's got herself one fashion equation that i sure as hell wouldn't want to work out (or WITH! ha, get it? good.)

Christian Siriano's 2 Cents
by Teri Raser
As soon as Heidi Klum muttered the words "Jerell, you're OUT" i vowed to never watch another episode of Project Runway as long as I live. I still, for the life of me, cannot understand how an "unfinished look" is worse than a tacky, distasteful design concept (from designer Korto). So now we're down to should-be winner Leanne, loudmouth pin-up queen Kenley, and ethnic pageant dress maker Korto.
Season Four's "fierce" winner, CHRISTIAN SIRIANO, weighs in on the final three:
Leanne: "No one else could compare to her this season...If she does not win, I will feel so far apart from the show."
Korto: "Her clothes would sell...[but] Taste is an issue."
Kenley: "She's creative and knows what she likes. I like her spunk. [However] she isn't open to new ideas or learning.
