Four Runway Finalists!

20060929_winners_320x240.jpg
Last night’s episode of “Project Runway” was supposed to feature a final elimination. Four contestants began “The Elle Challenge,” but only the winner and runners-up would make it to the next level.

That’s how it was on Season 1, Season 2, and … not so fast!

At the end of the show, all four contestants (Uli, Laura, Jeffrey and Michael) were sent on to the finals, and all showed at Fashion Week.

They’ve done four Fashion Week shows in the past, with a decoy so as not to reveal the final three. (Last season was Kara Janx.) This season, all four shows were the real deal. No decoy!

And no elimination!

Why the huge change?! Inquiring minds, fans of all ages, and Dish editors want to know.

For guidance, we dashed down the hall and asked Andy Cohen, Vice-President of Production and Programming at Bravo and “Project Runway” guru.

“The judges,” he said, “agonized over the decision and were equally disenchanted with three of the dresses. But they were steadfast in their desire to see more from each of these four designers, who each represent such a clear point of view and had each excelled so much throughout the series. They decided the fair thing to do was let them all compete at fashion week."

So, four finalists. Wow!

    Yeah is right. Uli was better than good for once & everyone else who are usually great were mediocre so how could you let the one week of flops hold anyone back? And, since it was the first week Uli did something other than a caftan! Pressure, pressure - can't wait until the finale!

    I'm definitely a fan of Laura, the show's truest artist, but I am very pleased with the judges' decision. I hoped this is what the ads were intimating. Great show yesterday!

    I think that MICHAEL is the best designer left. Each week (except for this week) he did a fantastic job. He's a great and good person and I would love to see him advance all the way. Jeff is arrogant and mean, Laura is cynical but Uli is also a nice person. In all, Michael has the complete package.

    I had been waiting and anticipating to see last nights show all week. However, I suspected all four were going to fashion week because all the commercials showed them saying they were not committed to 3 finalists. In addition, I was able to get a glimpse on some of the designs shown for fashion week on bravotv.com, but I can't seem to find it today.

    Anyway, I love them all! They all bring a different style and would be absolutely amazed to see what design they would come up with if they all collaborated together.

    I am routing for Michael because of his personality and wearable fashions. I love his cocktail dresses, but it does seem as though he needs work on the evening gowns. I can't wait for the final finale.

    I am so inspired by the designs that I am loosing wait so I can purchase one on line.

    What is the timeline for this show? Laura's pregnancy was just showing when they did the "jet setter" challenge yet she looked to be 7 months pregnant during last night's episode. That baby did a lot of growing in a short time.

    I'm glad all 4 made it to fashion week, too. I'm not too fond of Jeffrey, but he does have talent. but i LOVE Michael! he's hip, edgy, and he knows how to put a whole look together, not just all about the clothes. he knows how to accessorize and make it all come together. glad uli did something out of her usual finally. and i give props to laura for sticking this out through her pregnancy and still making quality designs. can't wait for the finale! excited about the reunion show, too. =)

    When I saw Michael's dress I was worried because he is so talented and that dress didn't express it the way his other designs have in the past. On the other hand I was sicked by that thing that Jeffery made I am not crazy about some of his designs but at the sametime I can see that he will get it and we will have a winner. But i still say Rock on Michael with you bad self.

    I love Jeffery!!!!! He is going to win by far. I think his designs are the best. He actually thinks about them and doesn't do the same thing everytime. Uli makes the same dress just in different colors and lengths. Micheal is ok but he really never thinks about how it is going to look a a person. Like last night's dress. Laura is just so old and really doesn't make anthing stylish. I hope Jeffery can pull it off!!!!!!

    I love this turn of events. I definitely think each designer should have the chance to show a complete line.

    I am torn between Michael and Laura. I think both are fantastic. However, Michael really has a great ey and knows how to design for a womans body.

    I can't wait for the finale!

    I think they made a great decision by letting all 4 go on to Fashion Week. My vote is for MICHAEL...he has the range and understands a womens curves! I like that he doesn't criticize or downplay anyone elses talent either...he's been an honorable competitor when others have thrown daggers. I can't wait till the finale...this has been the best PR thus far. Thanks :0)

    I agree with the decision even though I disagree with the boo parade around Jeffrey. I personally would have worn that last anthro-ish cute little number. Creativity spawns in all of forms and his is just more in your face and hard to pin down. Michael's dress & theme was disappointing but he rocks overall.

    I agree when Michael and Jeffery were the last to I freaked out. They are very good designers but both have very different styles. So when they said they were both going to compete in Fashion week I was soooo stoked. I can’t wait to see what all four designers have in store for us. Although my favorite is Michael so I really cant wait to see his collection.

    i agree with the judges decision. Each of the designers represent their own unique style and desing. To eliminate any of them, would be eliminating fashion in it self. We have a combination of Rock, Sex, Casual, and Classic fashion. How can you eliminate any of them.

    While all the designers have their own flare, it defintely seems MICHAEL is the overwhelming favorite- at least here on the comments. His super-talented designs, overall style sense, laid-back, humble persona is what I think makes him a huge favorite. He'll probably go farther than any other previous season winner & I'm betting he'll take all at Fashion Week. Laura's pretty good, but yeah, the dresses tend to stay the same, as well as Uli.. it's always printed, flowy dresses for "Miami-esque" weather. Jeff is all about the Rocker L.A. look, but perhaps his personality is difficult for many to swallow, although I do find him rather funny at times!
    Anyway, Michael will go far and it seems most everyone here loves him... so GO MICHAEL- YOU TALENTED DESIGNER YOU!!!!!

    Michael is THE best designer on the show and he deserves to win. He is an amazing designer - the other contestants don't even come close.

    On the other hand, Jeffrey needs to go. First of all, his outfit for the cocktail challenge was horrendous. Nobody I know would ever even consider wearing that. Second, he was so rude to Angela's mom and anyone who acts the way he did doesn't deserve to win at all.

    I believe that Uli is a nice lady, but I believe she would have been eliminated last night if she had not be encouraged to make changes to her dress. Her designs prior to last night have basically been the same. Laura is a great designer, but her designs have been the same style. Jeffrey's style have sometimes been out there, but he does try, but he does an excellent job when he design in the rock area. Michael is the only designer that I have seen that tries to follow the instructions, and design different styles. I think he tried to hard to do something that was unexpected, and missed.

    Michael and Laura are true fashion designers. Michael has a great attitude. I know we'll hear of him long after Project Runway. I don't like how Uli chose Michael's model last night. I know that's just part of it, though. Uli got lucky last night. The other guy (Jeff) needs to go home.

    MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE - Michael. He's America's new sweetheart. He comes off so down to earth yet passionate, and he's one talented designer. I'd want to work with him or wear his clothes. I really do love Jeffrey's designs. I think they're hot and edgy. WHY IS JEFFREY NOT MY FAVORITE? Simply because he's a MAJOR prick. If he would've talked to or treated my mom the way he did Angela's, I would have KNOCKED HIM OUT. Completely disrespectful. I don't care how talented he is, he lacks virtue as a human being. He puts himself on a pedestal and thinks everyone else is beneath his genius. That's an arrogant prick. He doesn't need to work on design, he needs to work on his character. I don't like him, but I REALLY DO THINK HE IS TALENTED and I've loved all his designs.

    Jeffrey is more than just mean. He is mean-spirited. He laughes at the expense of others. He verbally bullied Angela when she tried to make peace and wished a brain injury on Laura. I wouldn't call that sensitive.

    All four of the finalists are talented, but all do have their comfort zones as well. Michael has the greatest range. He can do edgy and elegant. Gowns seem to be his weak point, however.

    I think Jeffrey is a pompous, self-righteous little man whose designs have all the class and elegance of a paper doll cutout. Michael and Laura's project remnants have more potential than any of the clothes Jeffrey has created. Maybe he should pay more attention to his own work instead of being so spiteful, hateful, and judgemental of his fellow competitors.

    The judges had to keep all four. They had planned on getting rid of Uli, but she surprised them and got rid of the sleeves and changed the neckline of her dress. It truely was the best dress of them all and I am not into her look. Laura designs are too similiar too, but she has the clean sophisticated lines that most women who do the cocktail party circuit love. Michael's talent is his sportsware. He shouldn't have done the evening look. And Jeffery, last night wasn't the time for you to do the "Heidi" look. All of them have talent but the judges had planned on Michael, Jeffrey, and Laura. Too bad none of them lived up to their expectations.

    I was a little diappointed in the designers. However, I felt that the judges made a very good call about sending all of them to the final. I wish that Michael had used his senibility instead of what he thought somebody else would like. After all, it was supposed to be something that you were good at to be designed and he let us down. I've been burning the candle for him since day 1 and I still hope that he is going to win. Jeffery is a good designer, but he is so cocky and nasty, I wouldn't buy his stuff at the Goodwill. LOL. Laura is still designed for her chestless self and has no imagination outside of the twenties era. Boring. Seen it. I liked Uli's dress, however, Das Fraulien can't get off the beach. She is lucky she ripped that first dress apart. Michael did the same thing on his hot pants outfit and won, if you recall. I like Michael. I think he is the only one that can be schooled and doesn't mind being humble when it most matters. He is a great person and I hope Michael Kors give him some pointers even if he doesn't win.

    I LOVE MICHAEL! Just like Kimberly wrote, he is the true winner. He NEVER backstabs the other contestants, or talks about anyone behind their backs. He is always positive, he congratulates their successes and they have never extended that same courtesy to him. Especially Jeffery, he has been jealous of Michael from day one.

    Michael deserves to win, his work, has been outstanding from the beginning. He is consistently brilliant, and he has a very bright future ahead of him.

    GOOD LUCK MICHAEL!!!!!!!

    are a favorite of the judges.... Objectivity flies out the window as the judges reveal its ok to show totally lack of self respect and spinelessness and be proud of it..

    Its so obvious what played out with the "new" one time judge that im not even going to dignify it with a response..
    Lets just say GROW up and act like real judges and kick of who should have been kicked off.

    This isn't 1966 its 2006 ...

    again SHAME ON YOU

    OMG!!! I can't believe it, four final contestants. I was so confused this week when everyone switched models again. I was upset that Michael didn't have his normal model and Uli took her. I think that is what made Michael choke kind of. I really didn't like his final dress output, but I really thought that the sketch was gorgeous, only if he could have fully pulled it off. I thought Uli deserved this win definitely....even though I personally don't like her. She pulled away from her normal dress design at the end of day one and it turned out great. I liked that Jefferey attempted to make something romantic, and I thought that it was very well executed and gorgeous and different. I love it, and I hope that all went/goes well. I didn't like Laura's dress at all this week though...it looked exactly like everything she has done before. But anyways way to go Bravo!!! I love Project Runway!!!! Go, Jefferey!!! Can't wait to see more of your designs!!

    1. I love Michael's designs and his character.
    2. Shame on Uli for taking Nazari.
    3. What's up with Jeffrey and his model (holding hands on the runway and the way she looks at him..hmmm)
    4. I loved Kayne's couture gown even if Michael Kors and Nina didn't

    Last night's show was not nearly as interesting as I expected, but I can see why the judges sent all 4 to fashion week. My favorite designer is Michael for his skill and "total package" designs, but last night his dress was not doing it. I think Jeffrey is very creative even though he's an ass and the producers didn't fool anyone by trying to show his sensitive side when he got the video of his son. Laura does have great workmanship due to her architecture background, but her designs are SO similar and they often look like what she is wearing that day on the show. Uli deserved to win last night, but she too is more one-dimensional. I believe Michael can really branch out with more with time and experience. I saw the fashion week photos on-line and must say that none of the four really impressed me with their overall collections. Each designer did have some really jazzy pieces, but I wasn't impressed by the sneak peek. I can't wait to see the final episode although I know if anything Michael will win "fan favorite." Good luck to all the designers in the future!

    I've been a big fan of Michael's from the very beginning. I love his work, I would wear ANYTHING that he designs. He is so laid back, positive, and humble, and those are some lessons that the other 3 contestants need to learn from him.

    I can't believe Uli took Michael's model from him. Nazri had been with Michael all these weeks, and that was very low-down for her to do that. I wanted her to fall on her face like she had been. Unfortunately, MICHAEL's model helped her pull off that dress, which I guess I'm alone when I say I wasn't that crazy about it.

    I think Nazri would have helped to pull Michael's dress off a lot better than the model he ended up with. It would have fit her better and she would have made it a bit more edgy because her look is edgy.

    Well, I'm pulling for Michael to win because he deserves it! He has true talent and he hasn't had to belittle anyone, or play dirty to get to where he is...THE FINALS!

    I know you can do it Michael!

The "rock and roll" ideology is cool, but it's all getting old. Laura's style is classy, but it's the same thing week after week. With Uli, the prints and dresses are cute, but thats all she knows.

    What a great idea NOT to eliminate someone! And the way it came about was wonderful. Jeff's dress was awful and should have earned him an Auf, but the judges did a great job of recognizing each designer's talent, and wanting to give each the chance to show their stuff at Fashion Week.

    If it was About being the best, then we'd have 16 at fashion week. In Any other Week, with noone Worse to protect him, and Jeffrey would be GONE. (And Michael would be LUCKY to have saved his Flop for a day when Jeffrey did Worse.

    Great show last night and I would have ruled the same had I been a judge... I think they all have their own personal talent and the final show will be really entertaining to watch. Michael is definitely the most up and coming Designer... he has great taste and can make clothes really well. I do have to say his Model (Angela's former model) isn't really the best to show off his clothes. But I do think he will probaly win ... or should win. It will be Michael, Laura, Uli & Jeffrey in first to forth order.

    I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvve Micheal and Laura designs, they feed-off of each other; through the competitions. I crave their styles and creative and the know how of the fashion area. Micheal is the top designer and this competition, because he is more rounded. I was a little disappointed and his last design; but he made it to fashion week.

    Thank God, all 4 finalists are going to Bryant Park. You'd have a Project Runway boycott on your hands if Michael wasn't in the finals! This guy has been so helpful and honorable during the entire competition. Someone even tried to sabotage his Paris creation with eggs, He never used it as an excuse!

    I love Laura but last evening I was watching the "E True Hollywood Story" of Naomi Cambell and she wore two of the dresses "designed" by Laura back in the late 90s. (Shades of Season 2's Nicki Hilton dress!)

    I especially resent that in her desperation to compete, Uli takes Michael's model , Nazri. Everyone knows Uli does the same tired dress over and over again. Nazri is so stunning, she makes everything look fresh and new!

    I know many are amazed at Michael's sensitivity. (What! He's not a hip hop thug?!) His creativity and overall good guy karma speak volumes about not judging a book by its cover. In the beginning, Michael Kors always seemed amazed that Michael could "actually" string words together to form a coherent sentence. Amazing that this continues to happen in the 21st century! Many thanks to Tim for insisting on a level playing field!

    Jeff is just rude and should temper his attitude. He won't win because his interpersonal skills suck!

    Next season, there should be a catch to "stealing" models. If you fail to win the challenge after taking a designer's model, the offending designer should have a prep-time deduction for the next challenge and be locked in a room with Santino to wait out that period!

Since its' inception, I have followed like a bloodhound on a police squad searching for a convict!Love it Love it , I especially love that Micheal Knight has been a model representative(by being honest,true to his ideal sense while considering the judges' opinions and having exquisite taste and style while doing so) for black males that love fashion and rule it! I am a runway Fashion Show consultant and a Show Director and have been involved in fashion for years.I was elated when the season premiered and couldnt wait until he is crowned winner.

    TIRED STALE and OLD should have been the three words used to describe the "final" elimination episode. Project Runaway lost its edge and point when they lost courage and strength to do what they to best--critique fashion and get rid of the dead weight. Laura should have been eliminated. Its the same flat chested, navel plunging, Manhattan socia"lite" wannabe rag. But any elimination still would have kept the integrity of the show. So sorry, the only losers here were the judges for not doing what they needed to do. Goodbye (that's english) Heidi, you are officially OUT.

    I think Jeffrey is more sensitive than he lets up to be. His comments aside, If you keep a really close watch on him when the spotlight isn't on him, you'll see him hug others, get emotional and upset when someone gets eliminated (except for Angela!), etc... Look at how attached he was to his mom, and how he cried when he saw his baby via cell phone. I would guess that there is footage of him being human and sentimental, but they don't use it because it goes against the bad-boy image he and the show wants.

    From a clinical standpoint:
    Jeff is an addict an not to justify his attitude, but he is very predictable in his demeaner. It is a GREAT thing that he now uses all his energy towards his designs, instead of for other "things". Plus he is good at what he does and now can utilize his mind and energy towards his true creativity all the time. Minus a bar of soap in his mouth at times, does anyone else from the final 4 even par up to him?
    Michael is 2nd, an still needs a few more adventures in his life too make him worthy of the runway. But he is very capable, he just needs more time. Plus he is savvy an appears like a gentleman. But he may have just good old fashioned people skills! A somewhat lost art these days.
    Laura is going too be more hormonal than ever, just because "nature says so!". She is already mid-lifing this experience an now that she is pregnant, her emotional side is going too cry her right off the runway! She will be stern and firm. Why do this now? I suspect she is a Type A , work-a-holic! I pity the fools that cross her now!! She is very refined, and classy. I do not know how geared she wil be for a "total runway experience." I wish her well, but a career change now is insane, unless her husband can breastfeed her new little one ?! I dunno the guy seems to have done everything else so far for her!
    Uli, well she is soft and sweet and has her own style. I want to see a "Keep on Truckin' " poster as a banner over the runway for her. I wish her well. But I fear she is passe'.
    It is for some odd reason a real joy too watch this show. Thank you for the Great TV!

    I think the winner will come down to Michael and Uli! I like Laura, but she hasn't shown us anything other than that same dress! And Jeff...his style looks very L.A. Very rocker...don't know if it's universal. Michaels clothes look like they could be worn by young/old, white/black, hood and up town all alike! I would buy his clothes and a long dress by Uli in a minute!!!!! I do hope Michael wins!!!!!!

    I am so glad that Michael is still there. He absolutly has the best designs of everyone. If his designs were in stores now, I would be going crazy-I would have to buy everything! I wish Jeffrey had been voted off. He has this "i'm better than you" persona, and everything he does is for a rocker. Laura, I liked the first few peices she designed, but she has no diversity. Uli always has the same looking clothes too. She designs her clothes with the same, flowing material, and all the prints she chooses are the same. I want and need Michael to win. Go Michael, I know you are going to win!

They are all four fabulous designers, with such unique styles and tastes. I can't wait to see the final episode and see each line. Also, I can't wait to see what these "Fab Four" do in the future! I predicted, from the beginning of this season, that it would be Michael, Laura, and Uli in the final three...glad to see my prediction come true! Plus, Jeffrey, as rough and rude as he can be, has grown on me too. He's like that family member that irritates you, but you have to love him!

    I was so excited when Heidi announced all 4 designers would present at Fashion Week! All of them are talented in their own way, and I'm glad the judges picked up on that. Michael has been my favorite since the beginning, although they seemed to underestimate him a little. In the first few shows, they didn't give him as much camera time as the others, but once he won his 1st challenge that changed! I wish the best of luck to all 4 designers, not only at Bryant Park, but with their future fashion endeavors. :)

    I am very pleased with last nights results. I also think they all four have such diverse points of view that to choose between them would have been stating a taste preference. They all seem to be skilled at making patterns and sewing. Michael's contributions over the weeks have been my favorites over all, but they are all four good.

    Ithink it's excellent to change the rule of the final three and simply let all of them enter Fashion Week. I was a bit disappionted that nothing happen to the designers: The four could've just went back home and started their collection right after the tenth episode's elimination. The judges thought that there was somebody going home too, but after seeing the contestants' garments, they saw such potential--who could blame them? I like changes, so it's good to see all of them in. I had a little theory that the final five were going to be Micheal, Laura, Alison (an unexpected elimination), Micheal, Kayne, and Robert (I had a doubt) and I knew I would at least get three of them right--Laura, Micheal, and Kayne. I like Laura and Micheal's design; classy glamour and sexy hiphop. I sort of liked Jeffrey's design and personality until he started saying that his garments were the best out of all of the designers. I don't know why he started hating Angela when she spoke to him with respect except when he yelled at her in the fifth episode. I wish the best for Laura and Micheal and the others. I saw some early pictures of their show in fashion week and I think they all did a superb collection. I knew there was going to be either a final two or four because before the 11th episode premiered, Bravo showed a comercial showing Heidi telling the designers that there was going to be a change in the final three. My first guess was that were letting four enter fashion week to give all the designers a chance to show the fashion industry their piont of views. My second guess was that were going a final two two just quicken the process of finding a winner. I wish I could compete in Project Runway someday...

    It was really exciting to see all four designers go to fashion week. I think they all deserve to go. Their styles are so different and that's what' s going to make the show at Bryantt Park more exciting. Laura's designs are impecably made, very classy and elegant. I would love to see something more flowy from her. Michael, I love, he is an amazing designer. I like Jeffrey's edge on his designs, but a touch of sophistication wouldn't hurt, he's defenitely got the talent. As for Uli, I believe in her talent.he is very creative but needs to refrain from using so much prints and make a more shocking statement with her designs. Personally, I can't forsee who will win Project Runway, the judges have their work cut out for them. Good luck to all!

    I love Michael. His designs are always on point. I hated that blue gown but I love the gown he designed last night. I think that it would have shown better if he had chosen a different color and Uhli had not stolen his model. I hope that he wins the compition. Michael is on of the best designers by far. I would buy his clothes. Both Uhli and Laura had nice dresses but all of their designs look the same. But what was Jeffery thinking. That dress was ugly and I would love to see the woman who would by it.

    im a bit disappointed. first, uli had no business stealing michael's model, and he could have been upset, but he took it very well. i personally believe the judges wouldve gotten rid of uli if she hadnt won...they were stumped, and didnt want to get rid of michael or jeffrey. i think jeffrey's talented, but rude. i dont like anyone who doesnt respect mother's...and he had no right to be mean to angela's mom...and he is jealous of everyone else who wins...so when he doesnt win, he talks bad about everyone else. what a jerk, but you cant take away his talent. i think uli is talented, and print is fabulous, but enough is enough. i think the only person that wasnt predictable was michael. we knew laura would make a classic dress... uli would make a print.... and jeffrey would make something "rock-ish" i actually liked michael's dress, it was his model that was no good......thanks a lot uli!!!! u lucked up on this one

    I was thrilled that all 4 designers are going to Olympus Fashion Week! The judges made a great decision by allowing it! I could not imagine either Michael or Jeffrey going home. I was disappointed when they were in the bottom 2, I thought "oh, no!" b/c I love them both. I actually let out a little scream when they were both "in"! I also really liked Uli's dress - so adorable (like Uli herself), I would be inspired to work out everyday to get into it! I think that Jeffrey comes off badly in the show (especially all of the things he said about Angela), but I know that he has a good heart b/c he loves his son (I love the tatoo) and was visibly upset when Robert was"auf'd". I thought that Jeffrey's dress was pretty and romantic, maybe just not the judge's taste (p.s. I think Jeffrey should have won the "Waste not, Want not" challenge - that dress was so fabulous!!). I like Michael's personality - he's laid back and cool! I also think that Laura does great work, but sometimes she seems to make comments that are manipulative and designed to freak the other contestants out. I don't care for that(but like Jeffrey, maybe she has just been cut badly by the editors). I think that this has been the best season so far! I always tivo the show, so I can rewatch it again. I even watch the reruns while I do homework - this is a great show with high rewatchability!!! I love Heidi and Tim, too!!!! I can't wait for the finale, but I will miss it when it is over!!!!

    I'm glad to see all four make it since they have such different styles.

    Kudos to Laura on her (OMG) 6th pregnancy. It's great to see you go on to fashion week. Its great to see that you still have the energy/determination to pursue your dream with all those kids. I love the elegance and confidence your clothing suggests. I don't like dresses cut to the navel on a woman who has no boobs.

    Jeff, it's great to see you trying something different in response to the judges suggestions. I am a friend of Bill W.'s so I have to root for you. If the critisism, cruelty and sarcasm is not just for "show " you might need to work those steps again or get a different sponsor.

    Uli I love your designs. I would feel young and full of energy in your dresses. Would love to see accents in the prints and some solids mixed in with the wild prints.

    Michael, you have a lot of fans here. You are confident,elegant & sexy. I Admire the fact that you don't have to critisize anyone.

    I strongly feel that ULI should win - her execution is excellent and she's entirely original. I've never seen anyone so skilled with using prints. Plus she presents herself the best in every episode (just look at this photo and see how put together she is). She is strong and consistent, which is vital to have staying power in the fashion world. I would rate Michael second, then Laura. I don't like Jeff and think he should have been eliminated in the last round.

    I am excited that all four contestants made it to the finale, but I have to say I believe Michael should win. I think he has what it takes to be a designer who will be around for a long time, not just for a season. What I like most about Michael is that he is extremely humble. He's not combative and takes constructive criticism well. I think that a designer has to have the ability to be flexible and take into consideration what his customer wants.
