ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You definitely took on the role of the villain — or the person that people love to hate — this season. Do you have any regrets about the way you were portrayed or your attitude?
KENLEY COLLINS: I don't really understand. I guess I offended the other designers. I stood up to the judges and Tim, but that wasn't against them. I was shocked by the way they treated me, because I was nothing but nice to them.
I did all the exit interviews with the cast-off designers this season, and when I talked to the others, they would say, ''Oh, Kenley's so full of herself, she doesn't take critique well.''
Full of myself? I just laughed and had fun. It was a light, fun thing in the beginning. When I saw the eyes roll, and I saw the people talk, like, ''Oh, she's so annoying,'' I stayed away from those people. And it bothered them even more. I came out of this competition with my two best friends, Stella and Daniel. Those people were awesome. Other people just didn't handle me as well, the aggressive, New York kind of upfront, forward behavior.
So you and Stella and Daniel are a tight little group now?
Very tight.
I heard you're living with Daniel right now.
No, Daniel's living with me. Daniel's subletting from me for a little bit. And I talk to Stella every day. I was just with her last night. I had to go to the screening for the show last night, and I brought Daniel with me and my boyfriend and my best friend, and we went to the party, and Stella called me, and I told her to come, and she came.
You said you're teaching sewing again, and you want to make money. But is there another next step for Kenley or is it literally like, This is it right now, let's recoup some funds. Where will we see Kenley next?
Mmmm, no. I mean, you can go to my website, www.kenleycollins.com. I'm working in my studio, doing my thing.
