[Ghoulish Delight]

Well that was a strong reminder that the show is about fashion, not about clothing art.

I really came to respect Josh in the end. He's got a vision, and he executes that vision. It's utterly unique, it's completely creative. It's still...difficult to love, but it is impressive. And it's art. It's not fashion, in the marketable sense. Yes, runway allows for, and requires, a certain amount of pure art over wearable fashion, but his stuff is pure art. Which is awesome, but I understand why they wouldn't want him to win.

Honestly, all 4 of them put together beautiful collections. A case could have convincingly been made for any of them.

And while Anya's collection was utterly safe for her, during the season she clearly showed she is more than capable of designing beyond her comfort zone and there is something to be said for the fact that, familiar and repetitive or not, in two days she crapped out a STUNNING collection of clothing on nothing but her gut. No amount of sewing lessons or fashion experience can hold a candle to the completely natural and instinctual eye for pattern and movement that girl has. That's what won it for her.

All in all, aside from the judges' inexplicable love affair with Burt's boring-ass clothes, it was a great season.
