Dmitry Sholokhov was by far the best designer in my opinion. (And, I should know. I have a degree in art and many years experience.) Michelle was good too, but just not as sophisticated and seasoned. The judges gave it to Michelle, because she could be their little protege. They could feel they were the masters and she was their student coming along. On the other hand, Dmitry has arrived as a polished designer. He may even be better than the judges themselves. Yes, clearly jealousy played a big hand in this choice. Dmitry shouldn't feel bad about this. In a strange way it was a confirmation that he is the best. His designs were some of the most beautiful I've ever seen, and I've been watching PR for many years.
