OK. First let me state that I have absolutely nothing against anyone of any size. I also applaud the inclusion of a plus size collection showing a New York Fashion Week. Having said that, it was obvious that the second Ashley said out loud that she would be creating a plus size collection for the final show, she was going to win. As lovely as Ashley is, her final collection was boring at best. Yes, she can dress plus size models well, but if that collection had been put out by any other designer on size 2-4 models it would have been called drag mother or grandmother of the bride. The judges were blinded by the political correctness of her collection and justified their decision by finding fault with the others needlessly. Ashley didn't grow as a designer this season as much as others. Maybe if every designer put out a plus size collection, then Ashley's would have been seen in its proper light - drab.
