While I think Jay is great, I'm so over his bitching about PR. He had his own showing in Bryant Park last year. You can't expect to be an instant success from just showing one collection, especially a collection that no one wanted. It took Todd Oldham and Isaac Mizrahi years of showing collections before their businesses took off. Anna Sui built up her own label before even starting to show so she had a built-in market. If Banana offered him contacts at production facilities, he should know how to make it work (no pun intended). Even I would know how to get production on a line, and I'm not even in the fashion industry.....

Santino said his income has quadrupled and what's-his-name is doing bridal for another label and Andrae is looking to get a position as a designer for another company. None of them are bitching and they're approaching their opportunities with some sense. It seems like Jay feels like he was promised something he clearly was not.
