I loved Korto's design. It was elegant and I would buy it. That young model was rocking the brocade. The fit was impeccable and I loved how it was paired with a trendy jacket. Hold your head up, Korto. Everything about that out was fabulous.
The design was good, I didn't like that brocade either. I also was so tired of her constant negativity against Brittany was the only Caucasian by coincidence... She talked like no Blacks ever get a chance at anything especially in Fashion... Please. Personally she has an ugly attitude.
But, was it fair to cut Korto? The guest judge she Batsheva was wearing baroque clothes 🤷🏼♀️so evidently not dated fabric choice. I don’t agree with judges
@@bootybebouncin if you recalled season 5, Kenley Collins talked back to the judges on occasions. Even though Kenley made it to the finals, she did not win her season.
She shot herself in the foot, but it wasn’t the first time Korto’s sour attitude surfaced. Even though she is a creative designer, life is too short to work with someone whose ego is on display. This will hurt her reputation.
@@paulaslater4681her design last week was better than this one. what she created this week was too heavy in the bottom and too much brocade. The pants may look good on a few but will not prob go on the 70% off rack within a week.
I disagree. She stood up for herself to judges who have no business judging. Just because they work in the fashion industry doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.
I have been a fan of Korto’s since watching season 5. She was always authentic and original. I was shocked that she talked back to the judges, but as someone who has graduated from art school a few years ago, I understand why she stood up for herself the way she did. Backstage on the last episode, Korto saw how the judges critiqued Kara Saun’s outfit when they were given the opportunity to create whatever they wanted, and (understandably) was pissed that Kara Saun got the critique she received. What drove Korto over the edge was when the judges called Korto’s outfit safe, because when competing, the designs do need more if that “it” factor, which I felt that Korto really showed herself as someone who designs more ready-to-wear, marketable clothing. Should she have been like others and not taken the critique too personally? Maybe, but I think at this point, she was burnt out from the stress and (possibly) lack of sleep from trying to design new things that she believes in that she put all her blood, sweat and tears into that at this point, she was fed up with the judges, basically said “enough is enough” and decided to stand up for herself. Tbh, I totally thought her design wasn’t elimination worthy as I personally totally saw the formal-casual vibe.
@@cynthiasneed6354 She came to win. If she thought it'd be a waste of time for her she wouldn't have signed up and gone through the contract again. She chose to because she thought the judging would be fair. The majority of her frustration has to do with the vets not being recognized compared to newbies.
it's so disrespectful to viewers and fans to claim that Korto's look was the worst... she actually captured the duality of the challenge and there was nothing unfashionable about the look. the judges (and bravo) just played in all of our faces.
I love Korto, but she cant handle criticism...she is not open to listen and learn from it. You have to be confident, but also be aware that you are not perfect all the time.
In my opinion, the worst look was the designer from Haiti. There was nothing "edgy" about that gown! His design looked plain and old fashioned. Kotto met the challenge her design was formal and casual wasn't the best but certainly not the worst. I think Kotto has a unique design aesthetic that works. Having said that I understand why the judges sent her home. Week after week she is complaining about someone or something. Reminding the world "I'm a strong black woman" blah blah blah. So what ! So is Laurence and Kara Saun. The difference between them and Kotto is not only are they good designers that happen to be strong black women they are confident women. Kotto says she has confidence in herself and her work but does she I think not. A confident person doesn't bad mouth their fellow contestants or constantly praise themself and can accept criticism. A little humility would serve Kotto well
I almost felt she was eliminated because she showed that she was stuck on only her viewpoint. I don't think she was able to benefit from the competition this season. She couldn't listen to anyone but herself.
Korto consistently delivered beautifully designed, tailored and wearable garments that were true to the assigned challenges. She didn't deserve the disrespect of the judges who were too lazy to formulate a legitmate critique.
Disrespect? Have you seen the other episodes. Anyone that showed disrespect, it was Korto. She talked behind many of the competitors backs and said a lot of nasty things. The judges have been nothing but respectful to her.
That woman has always been hateful. She’s the one that was disrespectful! She’s a complete narcissist that simply didn’t want to hear what the judges had to say.
I thought Korto was gonna win the challenge 💀 based on the criteria. It really seemed like theme didn’t end up mattering as Brittany and Rami (who leaned heavily to one style) were in the top. PLUS, Praje was in the bottom for the 4th time. CMON.
I agree. I actually loved her look! I also love Bishme but I think his look was the worst. I want to see a collection from him, but he should have gone home. 😢
I love Korto so much! She tells it like it is and is very talented. I did not think hers was the worst look this time. Both Bishme and Rami were much worse.
She tells it like it is but can’t take it when it’s given to her. Most people with her attitude like to give it but have paper tissue feelings and are easily offended. She acted like she didn’t want to be there or was looking for conflict so that she could go off.
I love love love Rami. But all of his dresses look almost exactly the same. They’re basically the same dress in different colors and lengths. But they NEVER call him out on it. Korto was cheated out of a spot in the finale. I feel really bad for her.
Was she out because of her elegant fabric, design with 2 contradicting descriptions or flawless execution? No. Was she out for challenging Brandon's snarky and incohesive critiques? Yup.
I lost so much regard and respect for Brandon and arse wipe Elaine!! Yes, Korto may have spoken back, etc., but there was all of them against one her. I don’t think it was right what they did, they all should be sacked..
Korto was among some of the best designers of all the seasons. I appreciated her confidence, but her comments sound like she was better than others, and that was exhausting. I love Elaine on this show. Reading about her background as a Editor/journalist. I love Nina and Christian as well! This is my favorite show of all time.
It's ironic that she got kicked off on the double bind week. She was getting mixed messages. Annie did the same designs. Brittany duplicated Praje's design yet Korto was judge harshly. Sometimes I wonder why if they should bother coming back to be unevenly judged.
Brandon and Elaine, were bullies that didn’t like being stood up to. They both need to go… The guest judge was railroaded into seeing issues with Korto’s design… she actually loved the trousers Body Odour Elaine 🤢 was complaining about, yet Brittany has done the same pants, over and over again 💀
I'm so disappointed in this week. The judges were so wrong with this decision. I love her energy, and she is super honest as well as focused. I pray her career takes off even more, and they regret this decision. I feel I know who they are going to let win.
Those judges REALLY GOT IT WRONG tonight! Wrong wrong wrong! I’m not going to step on the other 2 in the bottom…but Korto SHOULD NOT be sent home! I loved her outfit! It was fab, and I thought it should have been in Top Three, and actually the winner of the Double Bind Challenge. IMO, this show doesn’t deserve to have her. She’s right, she didn’t agree to participate in Project Runway ‘to play games’. Many of these challenges are RIDICULOUS. The outfit the judges bitched about it as being ‘safe’ (aka ‘boring’) was wonderful! Yes, the gorgeous outfit that had to walk in the pouring rain, another stupid judgment call by PR! I’m very peeved for Korto being ousted by that ridiculous panel of judges.
love her as a designer. I actually looked for her website. Please add styles for all body types and age people. Your ideas are wonderful! I am not a “vogue” or “runway” type shopper-just a normal person who likes original clothes.
I actually loved Korto and Prajjé's look. I think Bishme, Rami and Britney should be at the bottom with Britney or Rami going home. There was nothing modest about Brittney's look at least Rami had some sort of "baggy" aspect
EXACTLY! It’s so obvious that they intend to send Britney to the finale even if she doesn’t even finish a challenge. She’s in guaranteed to win a spot. So unfair. So obvious. So racist.
Why was this racist? Why do people like yourself ALWAYS have to play the race card when things don't go the way you want it to? In all reality, YOU are the one who's racist because you think that way. Individuals like yourself are the main reason we have the racial problems that we do today. SMH with an eye roll. 🙄
She had one of the BEST looks of the night. The judges were cowards because they didn’t know how to handle a woman standing up for herself. A strong woman with courage! And a great design.
I knew she was a goner when Elaine looked at Nina. Her face said it all “who does she think she is.” Korto followed the assignment.Brittany did not. While her dress was beautiful,there was nothing modest about it.
Korto went home because of her bad attitude and the judges had had enough of her defensiveness and ego. I was glad to see her go. She is a very good designer but having a little humility in life goes a long way in working with other people.
@@paulaslater4681 I actually think this challenge triggered her , add that to the stress and sleep deprivation of the competition, she had no more reserves to navigate the critiques of the judges
I did not think her look was the worst. I can understand why she was upset. However, I believe Koto can be more gracious on departure. I saw her in her season years ago and again this season. Corazon’s grace and class on departure will always be remembered.
She handled herself well. She knew her look was "fire", and she met the challenge, as Rami's look DID NOT! She deserved to be upset. I was upset for her, because I LOVED her look.
Why does she have to be "gracious" when the judges were clearly wrong and inconsistent in their critiques? I loved her look. Rami should have gone home.
Rami didn't even meet the assignment but he got to stay. Prajje's design was bottom for the 3rd week in a row but he got to stay. I think it was the judges "putting her in her place".
@@valeriejoseph4227 How are they “wrong?” The judges decide what they like and what they don’t. They didn’t like her outfit as much as the other 5 designs. It’s that simple. There is no wrong or right. After a point in the competition, all the designers are good and they then have to just rank based on what they like. These designs are assigned points by the way and then they tally them up. She had the lowest scores. I personally thought her outfit was the worst as well.
@@iysieslovee They don’t go by the history of previous episodes. Someone can be on “top” the entire season but blow it on that one single competition. Her outfit was the worst in the judges opinion.
I love korto's confidence in your herself and her work. I went to college with her younger sister who was in the last picture with the golden head wraps. Her little sister was also very talented and confident in everything she did...and the girl did a lot! ❤❤
Where many designers have gone wrong is by not pushing themselves creatively. They've gotten too comfortable doing what they know instead of using the platform to refresh their perspective and think outside the box. Korto thought she could brocade her way to the finale. She stayed in her comfort zone without using different fabrics and silhouettes for a fresher look. Korto's attitude didn't help her case. No way were they going to send Bishme home after having just won two consecutive challenges. Bishme failed to switch cards despite having the option and the bottom three suffered from uninspired designs.
The judges hypocrisy gets on my nerves! How was fashion subjective when it came to Brittany's design, but not Korto? Brittany did not meet the modest/sexy criteria, but Korto met hers. The judges sent Korto home not because of her design, but because she challenged their critique.
Korto has earned the right to fight the judges and voice her opinions. Many seasons she has been nice and polite only to be sent home. Why not let the judges know they suck on the way out the door?
She definitely shouldn’t have been eliminated. Her look last week and this week was so fresh. On the season you can ignore the challenge and just create something
I am not a fan of Elaine. First season she was on I could not stand her. She was awful. She has gotten much better, though. I can actually tolerate listening to her.
Her look was def not the worst look and she should not have been sent home. Now Brittany….don’t even get me started. She should have been gone before Ana. And her look was not MODEST IN ANY WAY.
The cut, design and style of Britney’s dress was modest in that the she was covered in fabric. The twist to the challenge was that it be also sexy-which it was because the beautiful fabric she chose was sheer and showing the body suit she created underneath.
Oh..so disappointed. Korto a favorite of mine from her original season and everything since. Love the definitive sense of her life narrative. These shows must be exhausting for the contestants. An amazing season!
I didn’t love her look but she talked her way to elimination by being so opinionated and arrogant. If she had shown any respect it very well might have been Bishme out. Oh well no big loss in my opinion.
When you're downright rude borderline obnoxious to the judges YOU agreed to be judged by, don't complain when they send you home. Your truth may be fine but there's ways of expressing your truth w/class & respect. Korto demands respect but refused to give it.
It is a competition, if you know everything and wont take critics... It didnt have Sense to stay... But sorry, she was top 4 AND her attitude sent her home
Korto attitude is who she is, the middle aged woman was not disrespectful, rude, or unpleasant with her fellow cast and judges. Sometimes the truth hurts.
I still feel like Kara Saun was robbed season one. The way they f**ked her with technicalities will always be BS to me. She should have won. I wouldn't blame her a bit if she never wanted anything to do with PR. For years I've noticed she was one of the all stars that never came back. I haven't watched PR in a few seasons, now i have to binge watch this season.
I hope you watched her in previous Runway comp shows where she made fresh outfits only to still lose to designers who don't even come back to all stars. She has earned her stripes
It doesn’t matter how many stripes one earns. ‘ Please and Thank You’ go a long way. I’m so horrified at the lack of graciousness by some of my sisters. Home training will always Trump stripes.
Kotto we are happy you opened the doors for other blacks designers however there’s a certain grace we must carry at all times. The responses were dry and short.
Korto wasn’t a nice person. She was aggressive and talk bad about people. She needs to relax and stop thinking she is the best. She is not careful with her words and stepping over people. Not sure why no one is pointing that out - makes me dislike the show because of the blindness
Being a nice person didn't have not one thing to do with her design abilities. The judges just needed her go-to justify their handpicked prearranged winner. Even though nobody left is going to be able to beat Laurence, I beat she don't win.
Even if you’re at extreme odds with any of the contestants, their work should be the thing to be judged. Having that attitude would transfer respect to those judging, instead the opposite happened. The two at the bottom were NOT the worst looks. It’s hard enough to find good programming, this just shouldn’t have happened., on well, time to channel surf for something else……. P. S. Writing for 26 in our sorority watching tonight.
That's right!!! These judges are not judging on fashion it's based on who they like the best. You better bet your last dollar that Bishmere will be there and Prajje is the next to be eliminated and Laurence will be next when they say she's safe and she defends her work. Just like PR Season 7 when Stanley Hudson and Sonji Williams deserved to win and it was given to Anthony Williams because they just loved Anthony, so did I. But Anthony is not even in fashion but is iblnder HGTV doing house designing and just won the grand prize on Rocking the Block. This favoritism mess these judges putting down has diminished the integrity of the show. Because, of course, I haven't watched this show since Season 15. Tuned back in for Season 20, and it's still an a$$ kissing competition with mediocre winners who went no where with the exception of Christian. Sonja Williams is doing better than the crowned winner who is designing mermaid customs.
Korto is such a talented designer, but as a viewer, I was already tired of listening to her whine and complain about everything. She has a bad attitude and lacks grace. She should be able to accept criticism and not complain all the time. It was her time to go.
Just because Korto spoke up for herself all of sudden to others she's this and that. The backlash is very stupid and misplaced. Most of her designs were absolutely beautiful. I don't blame her for calling the judges out. Because they would excuse one designer for one thing and next put down another designer for doing the same or letting a designer get a way with something. I saw it as well.
Korto is self centered. She acted right away like she's better than everybody else in the competition. She cannot take a criticism and turn it around to edit and better her designs. And that is not only towards the judges but how she handled Christian's advices as well. In the last episode, she said that "You called me to be here based on what I create," like the whole show owes it to her and is required to make her win. Well, as she kept saying, "This is my aesthetic," the fashion industry is evolving and Korto can go back inside her bubble with her toxic attitude. I am so glad she is out and I hope her loss humbles her.
Ugh yes!!! SO astounded by all these comments saying they love her so much. She was rude, mean, and arrogant to other artists. The things she said to Anna were uncalled for. She immediately went to "I'm a victim" and blamed everyone else for what was going on to her. Definitely very toxic and a terrible attitude.
If I was Korto's client I'd be too afraid to give feedback on a garment she would make for me. She'd lose it. She is okay with giving her opinion about everyone else's designs but she doesn't want to hear the constructive criticism about her own. She didn't have any respect for the judges. She had no grace.
I surely hope you not one of those women whose afraid to speak up for yourself. My parents always taught me and my siblings that if you think you're right, don't back down to anybody. It's called the strong black woman syndrome.
What Korto forgets is OPINIONS (and that’s what they are) about fashion are subjective. There is no objective standard. That’s the “mixed” message she complained about. And I do think her losing design was ugly. That fabric on the pants looked like something for a bedspread. The cropped top was unwearable. Korto’s Valley Girl speaking cadence is inappropriate for a grown AFRICAN (she keeps stressing this) woman who’s nearly 50 years old.
The judges had no business sending Korto home. Her design was editorial and innovative. Korto stood up for herself. Good for her. The judges were cowards.
She was rude, did not respect the judges and thought she was everything. When you act like that, you get humbled and put in your place. Thus she was booted since she didn't care about the feedback. 😇
Oftentimes, it's not what you say, but how you say it. And, if you don't get the effect you wanted, perhaps that's a reflection of how your messaging came across. Her design was not bad, nor did it warrant being sent home over, but her demeanor did. You can have a different opinion, and you can voice it, but you really need to be mindful of "do I want to be right? or do I want to stay?" And I say this as someone who loved her on her season. I've now watched most of the after shows(I only started this week), and even here, you could tell that Christian cut it short, due to the general feeling in the room. Which was the first time, from what I can recall. My mother is a bit like Korto(from what I can tell, mind you, as I don't know her), in that she too feels that the most important thing is to get her point across, but as I've already stated here, I often ask her: What do you want to accomplish with this discussion? What is your goal? What do you want the end result to be? That is the ABC of communication. I'm hot-tempered myself, but this has been my mantra these past years, and nowadays, I choose my battles more wisely(most of the times), and see better results.
I am not a fan. Not of what Korto makes, but her toxic personality. She always puts down others and I do not like to be around those kinds of people. She also did it in her first season.
Korto had her say, and while we've never seen that before in the 20 seasons, good for her. When she spoke out about another designer's 'signature look' she was big enough to apologize after when she realized the designer was being true to her own aesthetics. Woke up realizing that Brittany pretty much stole Kara Saun's look in last night's show,. for which Kara Saun went home. Will miss this show when it ends.
This season anything goes for certain designers...if you know what I mean. That was definitely Kara Kaun's design but it was perfect for Brittany. What a joke.
Do you mean Brittany's dress was a copy of Kara Shaun's? I must have missed all the crazy colors, ugly feathered cape that looked like an 8yr old girl designed it.. as if we haven'tbeen seeing see through dresses on the red carpet for years. Not exactly original by Kara Shaun 😂😂
Exactly! There was absolutely nothing in the design of Britney’s dress that was a copy of Kara Saun’s lavender outfit. Bushmie used a sheer fabric too, any designer can use a sheer fabric in the previous episode. That’s like saying, no one else can use black fabric or else they are copying one of Korto’s designs. Also, Britney’s unique design was not only red carpet ready, it was also impeccably made and fit the model beautifully.
I noticed that Brittany's dress, which I thought was stunning, looked like Kara Saun's previous challenge dress after judges asked Kara Saun to remove the cape, which Christian advised her to not include. Both were extremely well made. I was just amazed that I hadn't seen the similarities during the last show until early the next morning. Not criticizing either. I am surprised the judges didn't notice/mention as they are quick to point out things like that. I was happy to see all these designers come back as I have followed since 2001. Plus that runway show in the rain was nuts. Dark and difficult to see. Kudos to the models and boo to the producers. Looking forward to next one. @@lorab.6993
Both her and Laurence just had nasty attitude Small season for no reason. Just snippy and rude to the judges and defensive about any feedback. Glad to see her go
Laurence knows how to tailor. Even if Laurence disagrees with the judges, because she's French with an accent, it doesn't come across as confrontational like Korto. In fashion, it's not just the talent, but how well you get along with people. Korto can go back to Little Rock, Arkansas and make oversized coats with brocade all she wants.
I truly think the judges would have kept her if she hadn’t had such a negative attitude. Their consensus was probably that she was burnt out and it was time for her to go.
As soon as she spoke up they got rid of her! I would like to see the judges walk a mile in there shoes and do what they did in 12 HOURS!..I know Brandon maxwell is a designer however the last celebrity to wear him was lady Gaga
Honestly, I can’t stand Brandon. Who does he think he is? Yeah, Tinkerbelle. I’m frankly sick of listening to him say, “Oh I’d wear that!” Oh really? The paunchy unshaven gray haired old guy gonna wear the fashions our designers create? He needs to GO! He is to PR what Whoopi Goldberg is to The View.
@@toluadeyemi9049 Laurence made her comments & did not further engage. Korto re-emphasized her opinion and the “Queen Bees” didn’t like it. They wanted to put her in her place.
I agree. Christian saved Rami out of sentiment, Rami hasn’t been that good at all throughout the competition. He was bottom twice in the first four challenges, and never in the top three high scorers… the save should have been for Bishme this week😊
When Korto appeared on this season the first thing I said was why are she setting herself up to be disappointed again when she know this show does not reqard black ppl with anything. 20 seasons and only 1 black winner. Prajje been on the bottom 3 weeks in a row, Rami's design did even meet the challenge and Bishmere's design was pld fashion, zipper pucking up and thread loose anywhere. But because Korto spoke up f I r herself then she was labeled with a bad attitude. Ppl are not ready for an opinionated strong black woman. I don't blame Korto, if I got to get to the top by allowing myself to be abused when it wasn't warranted, I lose also. SERGIO HUDSON said it best about the disadvantages that black ppl have in the fashion world.
I love Korto and her aesthetic. But the reality is and what no one is really willing to say, is that Korto's design aesthetic doesn't really work on white women, especially young thin model like white women. Even this look that she went home on, would have looked amazing on Aileen. But on this model it came off a bit like cultural appropriation, despite Korto being a Black African designer. So the model looks uncomfortable, and the look borders on costume. Literally a black bomber is a staple in Black Urban fashion, and those pants though extremely elegant, are also extremely Afrocentric. So on a Black woman this look would be a very natural elegant modern choice. But it just doesn't work on a white woman, even a model. Now as far as Korto's denim look, it actually worked on a non-black model, because although there were Afro inspired techniques, the look wasn't overtly Afrocentric.... As great of a designer as Korto is, I think that she's missing that her overall aesthetic is for a specific clientele... which it appears to be mostly sophisticated Black women , and or women of color, of a certain level of maturity.. When the fashion industry as a whole veers more towards an aesthetic that appeals to a younger european sensibility.... Korto is still a great designer and one of the best ever to do this show, but realistically her aesthetic doesn't have mass marketing appeal.
I loved Korto's design. It was elegant and I would buy it. That young model was rocking the brocade. The fit was impeccable and I loved how it was paired with a trendy jacket. Hold your head up, Korto. Everything about that out was fabulous.
not everyone can wear her look. you have to be as slim and tall as that model. or else you’d get lost in it.
The design was good, I didn't like that brocade either. I also was so tired of her constant negativity against Brittany was the only Caucasian by coincidence... She talked like no Blacks ever get a chance at anything especially in Fashion... Please. Personally she has an ugly attitude.
But like that wasn’t the challenge. She needed to make an outfit flattering for all body types. @@irenefelix6637

I mean we clearly see who their favorites are.
In my opinion, the worst look was the designer from Haiti. There was nothing "edgy" about that gown! His design looked plain and old fashioned. Kotto met the challenge her design was formal and casual wasn't the best but certainly not the worst. I think Kotto has a unique design aesthetic that works. Having said that I understand why the judges sent her home. Week after week she is complaining about someone or something. Reminding the world "I'm a strong black woman" blah blah blah. So what ! So is Laurence and Kara Saun. The difference between them and Kotto is not only are they good designers that happen to be strong black women they are confident women. Kotto says she has confidence in herself and her work but does she I think not. A confident person doesn't bad mouth their fellow contestants or constantly praise themself and can accept criticism. A little humility would serve Kotto well
I almost felt she was eliminated because she showed that she was stuck on only her viewpoint. I don't think she was able to benefit from the competition this season. She couldn't listen to anyone but herself.
Korto consistently delivered beautifully designed, tailored and wearable garments that were true to the assigned challenges. She didn't deserve the disrespect of the judges who were too lazy to formulate a legitmate critique.
Disrespect? Have you seen the other episodes. Anyone that showed disrespect, it was Korto. She talked behind many of the competitors backs and said a lot of nasty things. The judges have been nothing but respectful to her.
That woman has always been hateful. She’s the one that was disrespectful! She’s a complete narcissist that simply didn’t want to hear what the judges had to say.
They were mad disrespectful
I thought Korto was gonna win the challenge 💀 based on the criteria. It really seemed like theme didn’t end up mattering as Brittany and Rami (who leaned heavily to one style) were in the top. PLUS, Praje was in the bottom for the 4th time. CMON.
I like how Kotto stays true to herself especially with her fashion. Like most fashion designers she is a bit over opinionated in my opinion
I'd say she just can't take any critique. She is good, no doubt.
I think PR should change the judges. Imo their critiques are bias and way off. Btw, I adore Christian💛. 🌟✨💛Korto💛⭐✨
I am sorry I don’t think Kotto had the worst look tonight
I agree. I actually loved her look! I also love Bishme but I think his look was the worst. I want to see a collection from him, but he should have gone home. 😢
I couldn’t take much more of Korto’s self righteous attitude and evidently, neither could judges.
Agreed! ❤
korto! how hard is it to copy the name as it appears on this video title?
Agreed! I loved it
I love Korto so much! She tells it like it is and is very talented. I did not think hers was the worst look this time. Both Bishme and Rami were much worse.
She tells it like it is but can’t take it when it’s given to her. Most people with her attitude like to give it but have paper tissue feelings and are easily offended. She acted like she didn’t want to be there or was looking for conflict so that she could go off.
@@real8551she took it, she just disagreed with it-as have many others. They were not consistent and it was the truth.
I love love love Rami. But all of his dresses look almost exactly the same.
They’re basically the same dress in different colors and lengths.
But they NEVER call him out on it.
Korto was cheated out of a spot in the finale.
I feel really bad for her.
@@tuutts39 Rami will not be heading to the finale either.
Korto has been one of the most consistent contestants ever. She ranks really high in all her seasons & shouldve have gone home this week.
Was she out because of her elegant fabric, design with 2 contradicting descriptions or flawless execution? No. Was she out for challenging Brandon's snarky and incohesive critiques? Yup.
I lost so much regard and respect for Brandon and arse wipe Elaine!! Yes, Korto may have spoken back, etc., but there was all of them against one her. I don’t think it was right what they did, they all should be sacked..
Korto was among some of the best designers of all the seasons. I appreciated her confidence, but her comments sound like she was better than others, and that was exhausting. I love Elaine on this show. Reading about her background as a Editor/journalist. I love Nina and Christian as well! This is my favorite show of all time.
It's ironic that she got kicked off on the double bind week. She was getting mixed messages. Annie did the same designs. Brittany duplicated Praje's design yet Korto was judge harshly. Sometimes I wonder why if they should bother coming back to be unevenly judged.
Brandon and Elaine, were bullies that didn’t like being stood up to. They both need to go… The guest judge was railroaded into seeing issues with Korto’s design… she actually loved the trousers Body Odour Elaine 🤢 was complaining about, yet Brittany has done the same pants, over and over again 💀
I liked her design. Rooted for her all season.
Bishme’s look was the worst, and I love his work! ❤
BISHMERE is going to be one of the finalist. Watch and see.
I felt his BASIC / BOLD look was right on the money. I fully agreed with the guest judge of the night.
I'm so disappointed in this week. The judges were so wrong with this decision. I love her energy, and she is super honest as well as focused. I pray her career takes off even more, and they regret this decision. I feel I know who they are going to let win.
Tell me who… I’ll see if I think about the same person
@@KaissaDoumbeMoulongo Rami
They want Brittany to win.
Those judges REALLY GOT IT WRONG tonight! Wrong wrong wrong! I’m not going to step on the other 2 in the bottom…but Korto SHOULD NOT be sent home! I loved her outfit! It was fab, and I thought it should have been in Top Three, and actually the winner of the Double Bind Challenge. IMO, this show doesn’t deserve to have her. She’s right, she didn’t agree to participate in Project Runway ‘to play games’. Many of these challenges are RIDICULOUS. The outfit the judges bitched about it as being ‘safe’ (aka ‘boring’) was wonderful! Yes, the gorgeous outfit that had to walk in the pouring rain, another stupid judgment call by PR! I’m very peeved for Korto being ousted by that ridiculous panel of judges.
I thought she was going to be in top 2. Shocked she was eliminated.
love her as a designer. I actually looked for her website. Please add styles for all body types and age people. Your ideas are wonderful! I am not a “vogue” or “runway” type shopper-just a normal person who likes original clothes.
I actually loved Korto and Prajjé's look. I think Bishme, Rami and Britney should be at the bottom with Britney or Rami going home. There was nothing modest about Brittney's look at least Rami had some sort of "baggy" aspect
EXACTLY! It’s so obvious that they intend to send Britney to the finale even if she doesn’t even finish a challenge.
She’s in guaranteed to win a spot.
So unfair. So obvious. So racist.
Why was this racist? Why do people like yourself ALWAYS have to play the race card when things don't go the way you want it to? In all reality, YOU are the one who's racist because you think that way. Individuals like yourself are the main reason we have the racial problems that we do today. SMH with an eye roll. 🙄
She had one of the BEST looks of the night. The judges were cowards because they didn’t know how to handle a woman standing up for herself. A strong woman with courage! And a great design.
After this show all the die hard fans of Korto should stop watching !!!!!
it’s based on personal taste. Her design fits the criteria for the challenge. however, not everyone can wear her outfit.
Not sure if Korto needs what PR offers. She’s got her own path
Agree, but the money always conmesin handy!
I knew she was a goner when Elaine looked at Nina. Her face said it all “who does she think she is.” Korto followed the assignment.Brittany did not. While her dress was beautiful,there was nothing modest about it.
BRITTANY MADE A BATHING SUIT, WITH A THROW OVER.
Second time Britney should have gone imo , last week she stole previous looks ! I don't think she did it on purpose but she did it!
I agree. I knew she was gone when Elaine looked over at Nina. Korto went too damn far on the runway.
Korto went home because of her bad attitude and the judges had had enough of her defensiveness and ego. I was glad to see her go. She is a very good designer but having a little humility in life goes a long way in working with other people.
@@paulaslater4681 I actually think this challenge triggered her , add that to the stress and sleep deprivation of the competition, she had no more reserves to navigate the critiques of the judges
I did not think her look was the worst. I can understand why she was upset. However, I believe Koto can be more gracious on departure. I saw her in her season years ago and again this season. Corazon’s grace and class on departure will always be remembered.
She handled herself well. She knew her look was "fire", and she met the challenge, as Rami's look DID NOT! She deserved to be upset. I was upset for her, because I LOVED her look.
Why does she have to be "gracious" when the judges were clearly wrong and inconsistent in their critiques? I loved her look. Rami should have gone home.
Rami didn't even meet the assignment but he got to stay. Prajje's design was bottom for the 3rd week in a row but he got to stay. I think it was the judges "putting her in her place".
@@valeriejoseph4227 How are they “wrong?” The judges decide what they like and what they don’t. They didn’t like her outfit as much as the other 5 designs. It’s that simple. There is no wrong or right. After a point in the competition, all the designers are good and they then have to just rank based on what they like. These designs are assigned points by the way and then they tally them up. She had the lowest scores. I personally thought her outfit was the worst as well.
@@iysieslovee They don’t go by the history of previous episodes. Someone can be on “top” the entire season but blow it on that one single competition. Her outfit was the worst in the judges opinion.
I liked Korto, and will miss her! Wishing her nothing but the best!
I love korto's confidence in your herself and her work. I went to college with her younger sister who was in the last picture with the golden head wraps. Her little sister was also very talented and confident in everything she did...and the girl did a lot! ❤❤
She says she doesn’t care yet her body language, tone and everything that comes out of her mouth is negative and dismissive. She’s bothered
I agree! Made snide remarks about other designers and would get mad when critiqued and I’m sorry but that’s what the show is about!!
Where many designers have gone wrong is by not pushing themselves creatively. They've gotten too comfortable doing what they know instead of using the platform to refresh their perspective and think outside the box. Korto thought she could brocade her way to the finale. She stayed in her comfort zone without using different fabrics and silhouettes for a fresher look. Korto's attitude didn't help her case. No way were they going to send Bishme home after having just won two consecutive challenges. Bishme failed to switch cards despite having the option and the bottom three suffered from uninspired designs.
stop talking about things you don't understand.
@@facts2741 Said everyone to you, fool.
The judges hypocrisy gets on my nerves! How was fashion subjective when it came to Brittany's design, but not Korto? Brittany did not meet the modest/sexy criteria, but Korto met hers. The judges sent Korto home not because of her design, but because she challenged their critique.
I liked her look, especially the pant.
My Liberian sis!!!!
Korto has earned the right to fight the judges and voice her opinions. Many seasons she has been nice and polite only to be sent home. Why not let the judges know they suck on the way out the door?
Exactly! Enough is enough! It’s hard to watch . Honestly, I think they only bring her back for ratings. They don’t care for her.
@@K-ku6hf💯
She definitely shouldn’t have been eliminated. Her look last week and this week was so fresh. On the season you can ignore the challenge and just create something
I feel like some of the designers have been more successful than most of the judges definitely more than Elaine!!
I am not a fan of Elaine. First season she was on I could not stand her. She was awful. She has gotten much better, though. I can actually tolerate listening to her.
Still not a fan of her
Done watching! Please replace Nina and Elaine !!!
We Love Korto!!! 💜✨💜
Her look was def not the worst look and she should not have been sent home. Now Brittany….don’t even get me started. She should have been gone before Ana. And her look was not MODEST IN ANY WAY.
The cut, design and style of Britney’s dress was modest in that the she was covered in fabric. The twist to the challenge was that it be also sexy-which it was because the beautiful fabric she chose was sheer and showing the body suit she created underneath.
Oh..so disappointed. Korto a favorite of mine from her original season and everything since. Love the definitive sense of her life narrative.
These shows must be exhausting for the contestants. An amazing season!
I thought Korto's outfit with that little black top/jacket and brocade pants looked great!
I didn’t love her look but she talked her way to elimination by being so opinionated and arrogant. If she had shown any respect it very well might have been Bishme out. Oh well no big loss in my opinion.
When you're downright rude borderline obnoxious to the judges YOU agreed to be judged by, don't complain when they send you home. Your truth may be fine but there's ways of expressing your truth w/class & respect.
Korto demands respect but refused to give it.
It is a competition, if you know everything and wont take critics... It didnt have Sense to stay... But sorry, she was top 4 AND her attitude sent her home
You must admit they criticized her outfit why worse than they did that garbage Bishmere sent down the runway and Rami not meeting his challenge.
Korto attitude is who she is, the middle aged woman was not disrespectful, rude, or unpleasant with her fellow cast and judges. Sometimes the truth hurts.
Korto’s designs are good but she needs to keep her attitude in check. She talks bad about exeyone.
Not again they messed over her the first time too
Im.sorry but everyone gets critiqued hello its project runway. She seemed so defensive. I do like that she believes in herself and I wish her well.
I agree with you but she shouldn’t have been sent home tonight, her outfit was amazing and it wasn’t the worst of the night
FREEDOM
Full heart here Sis🤗🤗🤗🥰
I still feel like Kara Saun was robbed season one. The way they f**ked her with technicalities will always be BS to me. She should have won. I wouldn't blame her a bit if she never wanted anything to do with PR. For years I've noticed she was one of the all stars that never came back. I haven't watched PR in a few seasons, now i have to binge watch this season.
Korto! Those shoes you have on! You’re the coolest
@bravo, maybe dont put the spoiler results of the episodes right in the thumbnail??
I like Brandon but I prefer Sergio cause Brandon reminds me so much of all of the other past male judges. He's a sweeter replica of Kors/Zac/Isaac.
She needs to learn to say ‘thank you’ not ‘i know’ when given a compliment. Modesty is majesty.
I hope you watched her in previous Runway comp shows where she made fresh outfits only to still lose to designers who don't even come back to all stars. She has earned her stripes
@@desterg43 wtf does that have to do with my comment
It doesn’t matter how many stripes one earns. ‘ Please and Thank You’ go a long way. I’m so horrified at the lack of graciousness by some of my sisters. Home training will always Trump stripes.
Those brocade trousers are gorgeous
Kotto we are happy you opened the doors for other blacks designers however there’s a certain grace we must carry at all times. The responses were dry and short.
WHOS THIS WE
Who's we? Black folk aren't a monolith
She does need to take two pages out of Karozon’s book. Class and Grace pages.
@@beth1321 spell her name right next time you try to use her as an example for a "good one" smh
Korto wasn’t a nice person. She was aggressive and talk bad about people. She needs to relax and stop thinking she is the best. She is not careful with her words and stepping over people. Not sure why no one is pointing that out - makes me dislike the show because of the blindness
Where was she “aggressive?”
Being a nice person didn't have not one thing to do with her design abilities. The judges just needed her go-to justify their handpicked prearranged winner. Even though nobody left is going to be able to beat Laurence, I beat she don't win.
Even if you’re at extreme odds with any of the contestants, their work should be the thing to be judged. Having that attitude would transfer respect to those judging, instead the opposite happened. The two at the bottom were NOT the worst looks. It’s hard enough to find good programming, this just shouldn’t have happened., on well, time to channel surf for something else……. P. S. Writing for 26 in our sorority watching tonight.
That's right!!! These judges are not judging on fashion it's based on who they like the best. You better bet your last dollar that Bishmere will be there and Prajje is the next to be eliminated and Laurence will be next when they say she's safe and she defends her work. Just like PR Season 7 when Stanley Hudson and Sonji Williams deserved to win and it was given to Anthony Williams because they just loved Anthony, so did I. But Anthony is not even in fashion but is iblnder HGTV doing house designing and just won the grand prize on Rocking the Block. This favoritism mess these judges putting down has diminished the integrity of the show. Because, of course, I haven't watched this show since Season 15. Tuned back in for Season 20, and it's still an a$$ kissing competition with mediocre winners who went no where with the exception of Christian. Sonja Williams is doing better than the crowned winner who is designing mermaid customs.
Elaine and Brandon need to be sacked. They gang up on the contestant and we’re miffed that she slugged better than them!
I would wear those pants. That is all.
Great Fashion Designer
Sorry Attitude!
There’s a difference between “staying true to you”
And having a sucky attitude 😳
Yep. I doubt she'll ever learn that because of her attitude.
Because she's a black woman with a voice that called out BS. The judges esp Elaine have no idea what they're talking about
I LOOOOVE KORTO’S LOOKS. So idc if she didn’t win project runway she’s still amazing
Korto is such a talented designer, but as a viewer, I was already tired of listening to her whine and complain about everything. She has a bad attitude and lacks grace. She should be able to accept criticism and not complain all the time. It was her time to go.
Just because Korto spoke up for herself all of sudden to others she's this and that. The backlash is very stupid and misplaced. Most of her designs were absolutely beautiful. I don't blame her for calling the judges out. Because they would excuse one designer for one thing and next put down another designer for doing the same or letting a designer get a way with something. I saw it as well.
Korto was out because she wasn't as good as the others. She can complain about it all she wants, but that's how it goes.
Korto is self centered. She acted right away like she's better than everybody else in the competition. She cannot take a criticism and turn it around to edit and better her designs. And that is not only towards the judges but how she handled Christian's advices as well. In the last episode, she said that "You called me to be here based on what I create," like the whole show owes it to her and is required to make her win. Well, as she kept saying, "This is my aesthetic," the fashion industry is evolving and Korto can go back inside her bubble with her toxic attitude. I am so glad she is out and I hope her loss humbles her.
Ugh yes!!! SO astounded by all these comments saying they love her so much. She was rude, mean, and arrogant to other artists. The things she said to Anna were uncalled for. She immediately went to "I'm a victim" and blamed everyone else for what was going on to her. Definitely very toxic and a terrible attitude.
She was a whiner from the beginning of this season.
Exactly- totally agree
@@victoriamartin5414love your message- I felt like I was in a twilight zone when watching the show
@@victoriamartin54148
If I was Korto's client I'd be too afraid to give feedback on a garment she would make for me. She'd lose it. She is okay with giving her opinion about everyone else's designs but she doesn't want to hear the constructive criticism about her own. She didn't have any respect for the judges. She had no grace.
I surely hope you not one of those women whose afraid to speak up for yourself. My parents always taught me and my siblings that if you think you're right, don't back down to anybody. It's called the strong black woman syndrome.
@@iysiesloveeDid you mean Angry Black Woman? Yes, that's so attractive and conducive to loving relationships...
What Korto forgets is OPINIONS (and that’s what they are) about fashion are subjective. There is no objective standard. That’s the “mixed” message she complained about. And I do think her losing design was ugly. That fabric on the pants looked like something for a bedspread. The cropped top was unwearable. Korto’s Valley Girl speaking cadence is inappropriate for a grown AFRICAN (she keeps stressing this) woman who’s nearly 50 years old.
The judges had no business sending Korto home. Her design was editorial and innovative. Korto stood up for herself. Good for her. The judges were cowards.
More than cowards!!! It’s like something else…definitely not fair at all!!
She was rude, did not respect the judges and thought she was everything. When you act like that, you get humbled and put in your place. Thus she was booted since she didn't care about the feedback. 😇
I always been a fan of korto . Love her jewelry fashion. Project runway just can't appreciate a great designer
It’s obvious. It’s sad . She deserves a save based on Elaine’s facial expression alone!!!!
Romi, we get you can drape. His look was a bore and didn t meet the challenge. He should have been eliminated.
Korto s pants were FABULOUS!
Oftentimes, it's not what you say, but how you say it. And, if you don't get the effect you wanted, perhaps that's a reflection of how your messaging came across.
Her design was not bad, nor did it warrant being sent home over, but her demeanor did. You can have a different opinion, and you can voice it, but you really need to be mindful of "do I want to be right? or do I want to stay?"
And I say this as someone who loved her on her season.
I've now watched most of the after shows(I only started this week), and even here, you could tell that Christian cut it short, due to the general feeling in the room. Which was the first time, from what I can recall.
My mother is a bit like Korto(from what I can tell, mind you, as I don't know her), in that she too feels that the most important thing is to get her point across, but as I've already stated here, I often ask her: What do you want to accomplish with this discussion? What is your goal? What do you want the end result to be? That is the ABC of communication. I'm hot-tempered myself, but this has been my mantra these past years, and nowadays, I choose my battles more wisely(most of the times), and see better results.
Much respect to Korto. She's earned the right to speak up, rather than staying safe and silent.
I am not a fan. Not of what Korto makes, but her toxic personality. She always puts down others and I do not like to be around those kinds of people. She also did it in her first season.
I love Christian. He is absolutely the entire package 💕
Korto had her say, and while we've never seen that before in the 20 seasons, good for her. When she spoke out about another designer's 'signature look' she was big enough to apologize after when she realized the designer was being true to her own aesthetics. Woke up realizing that Brittany pretty much stole Kara Saun's look in last night's show,. for which Kara Saun went home. Will miss this show when it ends.
This season anything goes for certain designers...if you know what I mean. That was definitely Kara Kaun's design but it was perfect for Brittany. What a joke.
Do you mean Brittany's dress was a copy of Kara Shaun's? I must have missed all the crazy colors, ugly feathered cape that looked like an 8yr old girl designed it.. as if we haven'tbeen seeing see through dresses on the red carpet for years. Not exactly original by Kara Shaun 😂😂
Exactly! There was absolutely nothing in the design of Britney’s dress that was a copy of Kara Saun’s lavender outfit. Bushmie used a sheer fabric too, any designer can use a sheer fabric in the previous episode. That’s like saying, no one else can use black fabric or else they are copying one of Korto’s designs. Also, Britney’s unique design was not only red carpet ready, it was also impeccably made and fit the model beautifully.
I noticed that Brittany's dress, which I thought was stunning, looked like Kara Saun's previous challenge dress after judges asked Kara Saun to remove the cape, which Christian advised her to not include. Both were extremely well made. I was just amazed that I hadn't seen the similarities during the last show until early the next morning. Not criticizing either. I am surprised the judges didn't notice/mention as they are quick to point out things like that. I was happy to see all these designers come back as I have followed since 2001. Plus that runway show in the rain was nuts. Dark and difficult to see. Kudos to the models and boo to the producers. Looking forward to next one. @@lorab.6993
Both her and Laurence just had nasty attitude
Small season for no reason. Just snippy and rude to the judges and defensive about any feedback. Glad to see her go
Laurence knows how to tailor. Even if Laurence disagrees with the judges, because she's French with an accent, it doesn't come across as confrontational like Korto. In fashion, it's not just the talent, but how well you get along with people. Korto can go back to Little Rock, Arkansas and make oversized coats with brocade all she wants.
I thought she was go fo sho win been watching for her tbr 😅❤
Prajje had the worst look. Korto has the worst attitude.
I truly think the judges would have kept her if she hadn’t had such a negative attitude. Their consensus was probably that she was burnt out and it was time for her to go.
Korto was obnoxious this entire season, especially the last four episodes or so. And she was quite a bitter pill on this AfterShow
Agree!
As soon as she spoke up they got rid of her! I would like to see the judges walk a mile in there shoes and do what they did in 12 HOURS!..I know Brandon maxwell is a designer however the last celebrity to wear him was lady Gaga
Kotto Was amazing tonight they got rid of her because she spoke up
Exactly! Brittany’s outfit was not modest at all. Elaine threw that look at Nina like “ who does this B**ch thinks she is.” Knew then. 🙄
Honestly, I can’t stand Brandon. Who does he think he is? Yeah, Tinkerbelle. I’m frankly sick of listening to him say, “Oh I’d wear that!” Oh really? The paunchy unshaven gray haired old guy gonna wear the fashions our designers create? He needs to GO! He is to PR what Whoopi Goldberg is to The View.
Laurence spoke up and she stayed. Clearly not the reason
@@toluadeyemi9049 Laurence made her comments & did not further engage. Korto re-emphasized her opinion and the “Queen Bees” didn’t like it. They wanted to put her in her place.
I wonder if Korto's look wouldve scored higher with the judges if she had pulled Rami's Double Bind Fitted/Baggy category.
I think Siriano Save should only be used once more than 50% of the contestants have gone home.
I agree. Christian saved Rami out of sentiment, Rami hasn’t been that good at all throughout the competition. He was bottom twice in the first four challenges, and never in the top three high scorers… the save should have been for Bishme this week😊
Let's be honest ,Prajie didn't bring it all season he should have left, karto was suppose to be in the top 5
why have the elimanted person's face in the thumbnail?
She spoke her mind that's prob what got it done
But that's not hardly fair
It's nice too see them be honest.
She's a Great designet
Korto should have won her season, she has never been treated fairly
When Korto appeared on this season the first thing I said was why are she setting herself up to be disappointed again when she know this show does not reqard black ppl with anything. 20 seasons and only 1 black winner. Prajje been on the bottom 3 weeks in a row, Rami's design did even meet the challenge and Bishmere's design was pld fashion, zipper pucking up and thread loose anywhere. But because Korto spoke up f I r herself then she was labeled with a bad attitude. Ppl are not ready for an opinionated strong black woman. I don't blame Korto, if I got to get to the top by allowing myself to be abused when it wasn't warranted, I lose also. SERGIO HUDSON said it best about the disadvantages that black ppl have in the fashion world.
I love Korto and her aesthetic. But the reality is and what no one is really willing to say, is that Korto's design aesthetic doesn't really work on white women, especially young thin model like white women. Even this look that she went home on, would have looked amazing on Aileen. But on this model it came off a bit like cultural appropriation, despite Korto being a Black African designer. So the model looks uncomfortable, and the look borders on costume. Literally a black bomber is a staple in Black Urban fashion, and those pants though extremely elegant, are also extremely Afrocentric. So on a Black woman this look would be a very natural elegant modern choice. But it just doesn't work on a white woman, even a model. Now as far as Korto's denim look, it actually worked on a non-black model, because although there were Afro inspired techniques, the look wasn't overtly Afrocentric.... As great of a designer as Korto is, I think that she's missing that her overall aesthetic is for a specific clientele... which it appears to be mostly sophisticated Black women , and or women of color, of a certain level of maturity.. When the fashion industry as a whole veers more towards an aesthetic that appeals to a younger european sensibility.... Korto is still a great designer and one of the best ever to do this show, but realistically her aesthetic doesn't have mass marketing appeal.
