Our picks:
Michael Knight
The soft-spoken Atlanta resident (and the least histrionic Runwaycontestant ever) wowed the judges with his fierce magenta ''Pam Grier''
hot-pants ensemble. His creations are stylish, modern, and expertly
constructed.
Kayne Gillaspie
A self-described ''pageant queen'' from Oklahoma, he took top marks with
his Miss USA gown. Yes, he tanked in the recycling challenge, but if he
can find the right balance between taste and glitz, he'll make the cut.
Uli Herzner
This Teutonic dark horse knows from Roberto Cavalli and can layer swaths
of patterned chiffon to prove it. She rarely deviates from her
diaphanous designs, but so far, it's kept her in the race.
