This web site says most plus-size models are sizes 10-16: [link]
Of course, given the way sizes vary, is that a J. Crew 10 or a Lands End 10 or a Chanel 10, or who knows what?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Huh - my sister (who ranges from 10-14 depending on brand) has always been told by agents that she's too big to be a "regular" model and too small to count as plus-size.

And that's what they were telling Whitney last cycle.

Because books.
Hmmm. *Maybe* as much as I do. Possibly.
I can't call it right now. Except that I think seen all together, Leanne's collection is way too one-note, and way too literal in the interpretation of "waves". Every garment (I think?) has that rippling ... wave thing on it.

I am not stunned. I would have been surprised (and pleased) if Korto had won, but I thought that they would have liked Leanne's work more. The only thing that they worried about was whether she was "one note", but they had no significant complaints about the collection (although those pants had some fit issues!) They talked about how some of Korto's stuff was overworked (and she should have made that white dress her wedding dress, but I suppose that it doesn't matter since she got to Bryant Park). I loved the colors in the collection, and that halter dress was beautiful with the beadwork. The greens and blues were lovely, and I liked how she added the fans to give color and cohesion.

I was coming here to say pretty much what Vortex said, so, what Vortex said.
I do think Leanne's collection was way too one note - by the fourth or fifth look it was clear that the waves were the name of the game and I was watching to see how she fit them on each look, not looking for anything surprising. But they were lovely, and beautifully made, and for the talk about her being Petals Marshall or whatev, it's not like Rami and the draping where she'd been doing that all along - she had the history on the show to demonstrate that this isn't her only look. So I wasn't surprised they let that slide.
I was pulling for Korto but I think Leanne probably was the better pick.
