Final Challege Speculation (cont.)

The crowd who watched the Bryant Park finale live and many who have looked at the photos afterwards have been asking the same question. Why did all of the collections (except for Joe's) have what appeared to be a wedding dress in them? Here are the designs in question:

Korto Momolu:

These dresses really stood out in each of the collections. Assuming the final challenge involves making some sort of wedding dress, who do you think might be eliminated? We also wonder if the designers received this challenge before leaving Parsons in the summer or after they returned to New York for Fashion Week. Were they meant to be woven into the themes of their collections? Some appear to be more congruous than others.

For Kenley, Leanne and Jerell, these were the final looks to walk the runway. (Korto's was #8 out of 10.) Does any of this give a hint at who the final three are? Is all of this just a red herring? We want to know what you think. Click here to comment and speculate on Episode 13.
