JEFFREY! I totally thought he deserved to win for his innovation, wide range of style and sheer coolness. I was surprised how much I actually like Uli's line - plus her presentation was great. She's got a future in the resort wear world. Laura stuff was really great, but too limiting. While i loved a few of her dresses, I can't imagine I would actually wear one at any point of my life. I can see me in something of Uli's or Jeffrey's. Michael, I was disappointed. He's young and has done some fantastic things, but he just didn't have it together to win this one. I hope he keeps at it, I think he's got a future.

Surprisingly, as much as I have been annoyed by Tat Boy, I did like his collection. A good deal more than I thought I would. So congratulations to him, though I cannot see him fitting into the Macy's mold. It will be interesting to see what happens next year, if he shows and how his Cosa Nostra business grows.

Laura's was fine, the detail work was stunning and is clearly where she is as a designer, but not well rounded enough for what PR was looking for. I agree with their assesment totally (like anyone cares what I think?) Uli is Uli and for a few second I thought they were going to give it to her. She may have stepped out of her comfort zone, but I sure did not feel that way. Michael is young and no doubt will have a good career, this collection was a little on the flash and trash side. Sort of like he was briefly possessed by Kayne.
