!! Keith Michael tricks 'Project Runway' !!
Frontrunning Project Runway contestant Keith Michael will most likely be ejected from the show after submitting fake sketches in his application. The "sketches" were in fact photoshopped runway photos of other designers' Spring 2006 collections.

We knew there was something suspicious about the "sketch" pictured above when we saw the Project Runway premiere last week. I was going to reveal to the world that Keith had copied Giambattista Valli's 2006 look. However, the folks at Best Week Ever beat me to the punch and even identified the other two copied looks (from Marni and Lacoste), which are shown after the jump.
My question is this: How the hell did Nina Garcia not figure this out considering she wears Marni and you can see her sitting in the front row in the Valli photograph? I smell double conspiracy. She totally did figure it out, but they let Keith on anyway just so they could kick him off, either for their own ratings or just to teach him a gigantic primetime lesson.

I agree, the producers certainly knew of Keith's fuzzy collection submission. A precursor of what was to come was set up with the previous episode comment by a judge- I would like to look back at the records to see if he really did make the different dog outfits that he claimed to have made before deciding to leave the dog undressed and unadorned.

I like Keith Michael...I think he is talented and an amazing designer...and a good person. Notice he didn't make excuses....whether he used the books or not. He said fine, and left with dignity. I respect him. I think he is confident and dumb little Kayne had his feelings hurt because he didn't get to be a team leader and his dress for Miss America made her lose the Miss Universe Competition. I think that Keith was going against many odds, and I am sorry to see my favorite PR Designer leave. I look forward to seeing what else you will do.

As a reliable source, from someone who's "been there," I can say with absolute confidence that Keith Michaels is a bottom bitch. Furthermore, it's not his real name. He's not proud of his Italian heritage it would seem, but freely "borrows" from Italian designers. When he was good, he was reallly really good, and when he was bad, he was even better!

I guess, if you really don't like a person or are a really jealous type, you only hear and see what fits your ideal of who that person is or will become.
Keith Michael told the judges in his interview that he has NEVER made Woman's Clothing only MEN's but he has enough confidence in his fashion abilities that he should be on the show.
How then would he show them sketches of women clothing that he designed.
The person or persons propagating this falsehood should be ashamed of themselves and the owners of the Blogs should ban these terrible people who can thru anonymity say anything they want without consequence.

after i saw the preview episode that someone would be kicked off i knew it would be keith. he even says it himself that he didnt design woman clohing and only design for men i knew there was something fishy about him and plus he had appeard very cocky i think the producers of project runway are very clever keeping the show intersting by not kicking off before during the auditon just to get good ratings
