Michael Kors
What's Next: Words of advice to Leanne, Korto, and Kenley.

1 of 3 pages

Leanne put together something that was interesting and sophisticated and it definitely had a point of view. In a weird way she managed to have a focused collection that still had variety. She took an idea and she stretched it. The clothes were young as well as sophisticated at the same time.

What's next for her? Well, everyone thinks that they have to put on this big runway show and that's not necessarily always the case. I think her clothes are very much about seeing the workmanship, the detailing and all that, so I definitely think she's got the goods to do her own thing. I don't think she should feel obliged to do a big show right away. I think there's something to be said about things growing slowly and organically and that might be better for her. Then people can really see the clothes up close, because when you put the kind of workmanship into something that's understated, things can get lost. She could do a fun presentation, maybe, or a still life on mannequins. I don't think she necessarily has to rush out and put on a whole show. I think her clothes will be appreciated in both Europe and Japan so she should probably think about bringing it over her line to Paris where you're going to find more of the European buyers as well as the Asian buyers. Once again, I think her clothes will do really well in Asia. I think they have an understanding of sophisticated workmanship. You're not going to see her clothes in the local mall. They're not for that. She's got to keep it high-end and sophisticated and keep her focus, which I think she will.

Just had to say something because I'm so mad!

Miss her terribly. These other people have no sparkle and little personality. You end up not really caring about what they say. Nina and Michael's comments you take seriously.

: 08/30/2009 - 12:06am; Viwer; I love watching the show,I am an advid viewer. I felt complelled to write this because I don't understand why you find it hard to have a person of color win your show. It is obvious who you all want to win and who you are going to vote off you start to get negative every week. some of your criticisms are unfair. The earlier season you had an african american on your show and she finished in the finals. One of you commented she was not chosen because she was too perfect. Michael in the later season was awesome he too was in the final few. Koto in this last season in the finals and but no cigar. Then you brought her back to humiliate her again and make her second. This new group is questionable right now all of them. Come on Michael I bought one of your purses and had to take it back because the leather was defective. So nothing is perfect LOL. I am too shy short of of finding something else to watch. You need to be fair when you are judging. You Michael have a problem with ethnic clothes. They sell too even in America.
