Last night at the Mirtna Capital Designer Group Show in Brisbane the champagne fueled rumor mill was working over time. While everyone had their little piece of gossip to gab, the overall consensus was that Julie Grbac has indeed won Project Runway.

The hum went a little like this: "Oooh, you know she was meant to have a big wedding in September with 150 guests, but on the weekend she had a shotgun registry wedding with only 10 people!"

That's exactly what you would do if you were a lass with a lot going on in the coming months.

Closing the group show with her Grbac collection, Julie received a standing ovation from a few fans in the crowd including fellow contestant Leigh Buchanan and bronzed Brisbane girl Kirsty Hinze. Were they really that enthralled by the site of layers and layers of tulle? Or were they instead cheering for the girl who has big things to come? If I was a betting woman, my Manolos would be on the latter.

While she is still coming up with the goods on the TV show, her Brisbane Fashion Festival collection seemed to lack in the lustre department. Known for a feminine "champagne" style, the peach and pink satin frocks were a little too sweet and sugary for the fashion-hungry crowd.

Kameleon New citizen Kameleon ON 28 Aug 2008 08:28:23PM OOoohhhh I love a bit of Gossip! I hope you are right - she deserves to win!!! I have been watching her closeley and she is amazing. To say she uses Satin however...tsk tsk....Always silk.. It's her signature fabric! First episode in Project Runway - she nearly had a heart attack when she needed to use Polyester! Hilarious Your datelines are a little off. I attended the final in melbourne and at the after party it was revealed that Juli was married weeks before the finale parade. So there goes your conspiracy theory. What amazes me... is she has just filmed an ENTIRE show. Created a dress for Kelly Rowland, Created and ENTIRE RANGE for the Project Runway finale AND put together her own range for Fashion week?!?!?!?! Where did she find the time?!?!?!?! Hardwork, passion and Love for fashion. What more could you want from a designer. I saw the parade and thought the range was Fantastic. Beautiful...Feminine...Sensual...Just like the designer. I would buy half the range in a heartbeat! The fashion hungry crowd occasionally needs some sweet and suga to clean their palette of the bitter that most designers these days leave.... i suppose time will be the ultimate judge. My money is on Juli. Weather she wins the Reality show or not. She will be a bright Champagne Star that Australia will be proud of!

I think when we talk about innovation, we've got to look past the tried & tested designs Juli is using... She's good, but she isn't innovative.
