Korto Spills the Tea on Her Clash With the Judges | Project Runway After Show (S20 E11) | Bravo

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.

[@yunjisworld]

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.

She was ready to go. Did not seem happy or want to be there.

[@alithiabarrett883]

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

[@tw-wr8ee]

Where many designers have gone wrong is by not pushing themselves creatively.

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.

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.

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.

[@jonwiley2592]

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.

[@613miami]

I love Christian. He is absolutely the entire package 💕

[@NancyMerritt-n8e]

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.

[@anag6520]

I always been a fan of korto . Love her jewelry fashion. Project runway just can't appreciate a great designer

[@K-ku6hf]

It’s obvious. It’s sad . She deserves a save based on Elaine’s facial expression alone!!!!

[@BwInNewJersey]

She needs to learn to say ‘thank you’ not ‘i know’ when given a compliment. Modesty is majesty.

[@desterg43]

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

[@BwInNewJersey]

@@desterg43 wtf does that have to do with my comment

[@beth1321]

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.

[@galleta_2024]

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.

[@iysieslovee]

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.

[@lorab.6993]

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 😂😂

[@paulaslater4681]

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.

[@galleta_2024]

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

Much respect to Korto. She's earned the right to speak up, rather than staying safe and silent.

[@boricuamorena6646]

why have the elimanted person's face in the thumbnail?

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

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.

[@lindamaguire1301]

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

[@keftsobredo2884]

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.

[@victoriamartin5414]

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.

[@bonniemaherg778]

She was a whiner from the beginning of this season.

[@renbur8223]

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.

[@iysieslovee]

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.

[@lorab.6993]

​@@iysiesloveeDid you mean Angry Black Woman? Yes, that's so attractive and conducive to loving relationships...

[@suzannegiglio2866]

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.

[@K-ku6hf]

More than cowards!!! It’s like something else…definitely not fair at all!!

[@nanad5362]

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!

[@valentino4411]

I wonder if Korto's look wouldve scored higher with the judges if she had pulled Rami's Double Bind Fitted/Baggy category.

[@andrearodriguez4901]

Prajje had the worst look. Korto has the worst attitude.

[@angelat1839]

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.

[@mrjenn]

I loved Korto's look. She was robbed!

[@valentino4411]

I think Siriano Save should only be used once more than 50% of the contestants have gone home.

[@murasakinomorado7210]

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😊

[@real8551]

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

[@halflatino]

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.

[@qiqalusasa-cj9eq]

Let's be honest ,Prajie didn't bring it all season he should have left, karto was suppose to be in the top 5

[@oken227]

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.

[@sandymoon4159]

Korto should have won her season, she has never been treated fairly

[@MichelleDSmith-xz7hx]

Bishme’s garment was atrocious. He def should have left over Korto.

[@tc4583]

I think Korto has a bit of a confrontational attitude that comes off negative and the judges didn’t like it.
