Leanne Speaks!

May we present season 5 winner of Project Runway- Leanne Marshall!

Oct 16, 2008

Bravotv.com: What did you think of the other collections?
I think Korto showed a really strong collection. I loved her colors and she makes great clothes for women. I think Kenley had some surprising pieces that looked really great on the runway. I definitely liked certain elements of Jerell's collection, the drama and the sparkle. It's very Jerell. Joe surprised me too. It was really well made. And Suede also did a really good job.

Bravotv.com: Are you prepared for your life to totally change as of tomorrow?
I'm not. After finding out and coming back I've been living my life normally as if nothing ever happened. Yes, it's going to be crazy and I'm really excited about it all.

Bravotv.com: How did you keep the secret?
I threatened to break anyone's arms who spilled. No... My family, my boyfriend, everyone was as strict as making sure that they don't say anything as I was. It's a great surprise and we want everyone to be surprised in the end. And I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

Bravotv.com: You're only the second female to win Project Runway. How do you feel about that as a female designer?
It's awesome. It's really exciting. I think there are a lot of strong female designers out there. It just so happens that a lot of the Project Runway winners are male. It's definitely about time.

More Runway please!!!! It's fascinating to see what the creative and talented designers come up with. It is very inspiring and I look forward to watching it.

Oh god, I can't believe the show is over. I've been a huge fan of the show since it aired in the Philippines.I really responded well to Leanne's collection. It was well-executed and one-of-a kind. I mean, I've never seen anything like it before. Good job girl! ; )

congrats to leanne! glad that the arrogant kenley did not win.

will miss project runway! looking forward to the next season.

I still can't believe that the judges chose Leanne instead of Kenley!! It's been a great disappointment. It is such a shame that Kenley didn't win! I wish Kenley all the best.

Glad Leanne won she has lots of talent...why not get a new look...you look so down all the time start with a new hair do.. your hair is a mess and wear some up beat clothing. Ash for Tim's help..please

Leanne; you were by far my favorite designer. Your clothes are so creative and beautiful. I was absolutely thrilled as the season went on to see, at least it appeared to me, your confidence soar and the quality of your clothing soared along with it. You were the only designer, in my opinion, whose work seemed to improve as the season went on. Korto, Kenley, and Jerell did well most of the time but I never saw really any improvement. I am really glad you won and I wish you all the success in the world.

congrats to Leanne....she had a very beautiful collection, was definitely the underdog. i cannot wait for season 6.

When I saw that you had won I was so happy for you! I deff thought you deserved to win! Although I loved Jerrell and Korto you were deff my fav! So glad Kenley didn't win :)

This was the strongest final ever - the three best collections I've ever seen! I know Kenley struggled with critical review, but to me, she is the most creative designer. I loved her use of colour, artwork and fun. With a collection of judges who favour muted uniform colours, she really didn't stand a chance - nor did Korto for that matter. What particularly upset me in this series, was how mean Leanne, Korto and Jerrel could be to Kenley. I liked Leanne from the outset, but the way she sniggered with her model and the way all three designers ganged up on Kenley was excruciating to watch. I think they'd find criticism hard to deal with had they been so isolated. I'm afraid I lost my respect for all of them, though Korto did at least have the manners to try to turn things around. Leanne, I think you need to change your attitude to regain my respect - it marred your otherwise attractive collection. Kenley, darling Kenley, we didn't all grow to dislike you . . . I think you and your clothes are simply beautiful, fun, exciting and zestful . . . a lot like you!

I'm so happy Leanne won if i was old anof i would wear her line of clothing i love making clothes it's my dream but my mum says that im to young im 9 hope i go on project run way.

from thailand bangkok. I'm glad to she.I think she must first win since then.Do you have a design your own confidence and you and I are confident in yourself.

I love you.

Although project runway season 5 shown late in our country, and ever since I saw the zodiac inspired challenge, I have always loved your designs leanne!

You now serve as one of my greatest inspiration whenever I design clothes! more power to you! =)

wow in Israel the final still not was,i waiting to see it.

Congratulations, Leanne. Your collection was the best, and unique. The judges know what they are doing, that's why you won. I loved the other designer's collection also, but yours was better.

PS: I like Tim so much!!!!

Leanne I liked you as a person but your clothes were very boring,who were you designing for your Grandmother? I've been watching this show from the beginning and I'm wondering when are some of the very talented African American designers going to win? Korto keep your head up your designs were clearly the best.

I am a freelance desifner myself and altho I liked a couple of Leanne's designs but I do not think she should have won. Korto's and Kenley's collection looked better than what Leanne put out there and I think the judges knew it but they just COULD'NT let a black person win. I am anxious to see what season 6 will bring. I hope the judges will be fair this time. Reba

Wow,Congratulation to Leanne, I am from Taiwan, and I saw the show on TV. I really love your design. Maybe you can visit Taiwan someday.

Congratulations, Leanne. I love your collections. They are just amazing~~~. I love you as person, you are such a charming girl. keep it up~~~

Hello Leanne,

First of all, congratulations!!!!! Only now I saw all Project Runway (the 5th season) in my country. I'd like to see all programs. What I have to say to you Leanne, is that continue to believe in yourself with all of strength that you have. Never forget to study and evoluting as a designer. That is the way that can bring real to you all of your dreams. Continue to be a fighter. Kisses,

Catherina Sanders

I Leanne ! I´m from Portugal and i see the show from here and i love your collection good look for the next one i´m waiting...

Hello my name is Fabian Forbes.I wanted to know how did you sign up for Project Runway.What was the task that you had to do in order to get accepted to the show. I am 17 years old and a upcoming designer,is that to young to sign up for the show for next year?

THANK YOU

Hi! I just want to ask where can i find ( on the web ) Jeffrey's Sibilia from season 3 colection?

I love project runway!!!

Saw your winning collection at the FIDM Gallery yesterday; it is installed as the finale in the exhibit. My daughter and I loved it and seeing it all close up was amazing. All of the other pieces from the variety of Emmy-winning shows was really something, but seeing your work was devine. Keep it up and do you have any advice for young people interested in attending FIDM? And affording it?

Although I have such tremendous respect for each and every one of the designers that have been on Project Runway, I am however thinking I will probably not watch the show again. In my opinion, the decisions made by the judges for some of the winners on the show have been biased and not based on the true talents of the contestants. There has been more than one season finale that I have watched and the winner was chosen and my mouth dropped to the floor in disbelief at the winner. I have really lost respect for what exactly the show truly represents.

LEANNE, NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR SUCH AN AMAZING COLLECTION. YOU CHALLENGED YOURSELF TO STEP-UP ON EACH AND EVERY DESIGN YOU PRESENTED TO THE JUDGES. CLEAN, SIMPLE, MODERN, COMFORTABLE, MONOCROMATIC, ELEGANT AND ARTISTIC DESIGNS SET YOU ASIDE FROM OTHERS. NEXT STEP FOR YOU... PARIS SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE MOST TALENTED DESIGNERS OF THE WORLD!

WATCHING SEASON 6 NOW YOUR PATTERNS AND DESINGS WERE SO AHEAD OF TIME... STILL BY FAR YOU HAVE BEEN THE MOST TALENTED DESIGNER!!!

someone needs to make a menswear season or even a menswear episode happen there at project runway. menswear needs a project runway to develop more options for men to approach par in this fashionable world

Hi Leanne,

I loved all of your designs and you have a definate style all your own! A native New Yorker, now living in England, I had taken two years of fashion design many, many years ago and wished I had continued my career in fashion - never give up - you are truly a winner. All the best!

Thanks for your post

hi, i'm from chile and i just watch the final show, it was amazing and i'm happy that you'd won because your designs are chic, girly, with glamour and style, more important i can see your signature, your point of view. i hope you can read this although you won few months ago, but it's never late to receive one more congratulation.

good for you leanne you are faboluos

I'm very excited and impressed with the collection introduced by Leanne. She has created the most beautiful outfit for ladies. She's ideas no one of previous season could be on the same level fashion design transformation. See you in the next show

Hey Annie,what can I say,youve shown the world what you can do.I`m so proud of you.And through some very trying times

Hi! i was just so happy and relieved that horrible kenley did not won! i thought you where the best out of all, congrats!!

Been watching the All Stars and Kenley didn't make it to the finals been thinking Mondo will win but his attitude and working ethic needs some working on if he wants people to want to work with him I think that was Kenleys downfall. Congratulations on your win LeeAnn and when are we going to see your clothes in stores?
